They can't sustain that spending, they got their hands burnt with Tia Maria to try keep up with us and Chelsea. If they were serious about competing at the very top why aren't they in for de Bruyne and sterling instead of the shite they bought this window?
I wouldn't be at all surprised if he does play, he is their player after all. I just meant it'd be interesting if he doesn't, as it would suggest a deal is imminent. I'm not going to panic if he is selected.
The players they have been in for, does suggest overspunking has taken place. DeBruyne would have been a great signing for them.
He will be a great signing for us ;) I was really quite against this when it was first mooted & have had a complete turnaround. Now I'm thinking it's potentially a bigger deal than Pogba, footballwise.
I agree, I wouldnt be surprised if he plays but if the rumours of him meeting with Wolfsburg last night are true and the 50mil has officially been put in, I think that meeting was De Bruyne's chance to push this deal over the line. in my opinion this is not going to get done unless he does his bit....if he didnt and told them he "happy" to stay, I dont think improving our bid again by a few million would be enough to change everyones mind.....genuine question, could that meeting between De bruyne and Wolfsburg last night have been a make or break meeting for this deal?....

ErmHow many transfers have concluded at the weekend in the past? I can't remember many at all.
I think if a 50m bid went in, De Bruyne met and said he wants to stay Allofs would be shouting from the rooftops
