Just someone I follow on Twitter. No one claiming to be ITK. Just called one or two things right before and said we'd be in for Firmino if we couldnt get KDB.

Same source that is saying Wolfsburg want Gabriel Barbosa to replace KDB? Also said 4 days ago that Sterling fee agreed but Liverpool were keen to appease fans/media so it will play out a little longer??(which it has)Just someone I follow on Twitter.

I completely missed the Wolfsburg link. Durrrr...looks that way though doesnt it. Though he didn't/doesn't quote Wolfsburg. I'd seen they had been linked with him months ago. Seems to fit anyway.

SSN saying KDB will meet with Wolfsburg in next 2 weeks and decide his future after that. Mentioned PSG also in for him, and that KDB expects a new 5 yr deal to be offered from Wolfsburg.

This guy is possibly the one I most have my fingers crossed for.
Sterling is kind of a known entity and as much as I think he will be good, i've been a bit put out by the amount of money the dippers are wringing out of us.
Pogba is going to be a fantastic statement of intent if we get him, but I feel he brings more potential and 'wow factor' than actual here and now talent.
KdB though, although I haven't seen much of him I think the fact he has dominated the league ahead of the Bayern and BvB players is amazing. Feels like he could come as a ready made top notch player into the first team.

I agree in a way.
If we got De-Bruyne along with Pogba and Sterling, De-Bruyne could kind of fly under the radar some what. Everyone will be talking about Sterling and Pogba (like they are already) and I can just see De-Bruyne coming in and running the show and the media and other teams taking a few months to realise it.
He's going to be our baby faced assassin.

Likely it's just wishful thinking on my part, but I can't shake feeling that all of our main business is signed, sealed and ready to be delivered next week as we turn the calendar page over.
1) De Bruyne: for a youngster as talented and ascendant as this to not have more than one suitor splashed about the tabloids is the most telling aspect for me. I feel like City have a clear run here.
2) Sterling: another clear run for City. I don't buy the tabloid fodder about Spain or Chelsea. Months ago our manager went public with his admiration for the player, this wasn't idle chatter, the process had begun well before that. Liverpool realized that young Raheem had his head turned and that they would have to sell him to City, but they've done everything in their power to make it a miserable transition for the lad (and the buying team). We're paying dearly for him, but if we get the best 7-10 years of England's next-biggest-thing, then the 45-50M is a drop in the bucket.
3) Pogba: PSG is lurking but was reportedly turned down already. Barca and their newspapers want him bad, but they lack a president and are under a ban until January... it would be difficult to see a winning bid of near 100M euros come under those circumstances. Real went to the unprecedented step of publically, in writing , declaring their lack of interest in a player... i doubt that the Sheikh's funding of their stadium had anything whatsoever to do with that, no-siree-bob.
The lad needs to play at the highest level in league and tourney. In a comfortable environment that he knows. With players, coaches and facilities that will help him reach his best level of play. With a team that can afford his transfer fee and wages.
And Mino will want at least one more big money transfer from his prized client. If he went to Spain now, that diminishes somewhat.
Or I may just be wearing blue tinted glasses.

I reckon that trio at about 155M. If we offload a few players we may be in the area of about 100M net... not unrealistic for us this window.

You have a perceptive insight.
Very good post.
