De Bruyne?

SWP's back said:
He's told Wolfsburg he wants to leave, they told him to hand in a transfer request, he doesn't want to lose his loyalty bonus (which is huge), Wolfsburg have now added his loyalty bonus to his fee (hence the increase), City have told KDB his signing bonus is half and have placed a bid for the original fee plus half his signing bonus which doesn't bridge the gap fully but should be close enough to allow a deal, along with a few add ons which gets close to the £57m they want.

But as I say, Wolfsburg would rather have the player than the money.

Either way, I'd put my mortgage on this being completed before the deadline.

Where did you get all the stuff about loyalty bonuses and signing on fees?
 
Said this would happen after Sterling. Showed ourselves weak in negotiations for a player who desperately wanted out, relationship with his club collapsed, who wanted to come here, and we were the only club at the table - yet we still paid the overinflated asking priced after a month of posturing and a couple of 'take it or leave it' bids.

Wolfsburg obviously paid heed to that, and are now putting into practice the lessons learned. Which means we pay over the odds once more after weeks of acrimonious negotiations over a fee.

We still pay well over the odds for players, and we still get taken over a barrel selling players; Jovetic, Dzeko et al.

We put all our eggs in the Pogba basket, and now we look set to fail to adequately strengthen a key area of the side earmarked 6 months ago.

People can say what they like about any perceived 'negativity', but I'm not convinced by Txiki's work as DoF.
 
Those saying this could go to deadline day. How could Wolfsburg use £50 million to even try to replace KDB if the deal goes that late?

Surely this has to get done early enough for them to spend the money they don't need/want or it won't get done.
 
Apparently we have bid the £50m and Wolfsburg want £57m now according to the journos on twitter. If that's the case give up, he isn't worth the heartache these pricks are causing us.
