De Bruyne?

We fundamentally disagree here then mate.

Both of those players would represent great additions of course, but is it really an enormous achievement to land them when we're literally the only club at the table for both at the fees being mooted?

Should be more or less a given. We're no tinpot outfit, and we pay good wages.

"There is a reason we are the only club bidding for KDB and the only team that bid for Sterling. Txiki did his work on both players six months ago and when the players were sounded out by other clubs, they were told not to bother."

Not sure that's a fair representation of events. The real reason we're the only clubs at the table is because no other club is prepared to meet the kind of figures we're being quoted.

If there is credence to that hypothesis, then that makes it worse, IMO. We've had an agreement in place with De Bruyne for 6 months, but only placed a bid in the opening week of the season and are still haggling over a price with his club in season's second fixture?

We seem to do well at the tapping up, and seemingly have Liverpool and Wolfsburg right where we want them, but still look the weaker party in the negotiations.

Then you have us doing very, very, poorly in respect of sales out, and I think scepticism of Txiki's work should be granted as reasonable IMO.

Are you really this stupid or just doing a bloody good act?

His posts ensure we can't come out of it well
During the sterling transfer he would either complain we were dragging our feet and be king feckless, repeated now, and on other days he would claim we should just spend the money and get it sorted.
So whichever we do he has the opportunity to criticise the management for either being weak in giving in, or being slow at sorting out transfers if we get him for less.

Whilst conveniently forgetting that it would be a superb window if we were able to buy both Sterling and de Bruyne in one window who were the best players at their respective clubs with no need to sell.
 
Is one not allowed to have an opinion on here without being called stupid, amongst other things, by anyone who disagrees?
