De Bruyne?

one thing all this confusion has done is taught us to get a move on. not just on this transfer but in general, we seem to drag deals out for far too long. this , and others, could have been done weeks ago and have the squad ready for day one if not pre season. whether we buy him or not, or whoever, we need to close this window and get on with the season. we have made a brilliant start and need to focus on that.

Good point. You should apply for a job at the club to advise Khaldoon & Tiki - after all, what do they know?
 
Here we go...

As I've said before, I've never proclaimed to be "in the know" - I'm just passing messages on from someone else, because he doesn't want the hassle from some on here (I understand why now!).

Last night he text me saying it was off. I assumed, as with all his other info, that had come via the club so posted it on here. It then turns out he was just relaying the widely reported quotes from the De Bruyne awards ceremony.

As for my post this morning I was merely giving my opinion that I think last night's shenanigans will work in our favour.

Hope that helps.

How long you been on here ?? ;)

There's an important point to make here and hopefully people are starting to see why I rave about Txiki.

Every deal we are doing is attempting to buy the best player and talisman of a team that do not want to sell. Allofs was correct and we are not Barca who players will push through the move to and clubs are resigned to losing players to. Clubs like Wolfsburg and Liverpool resent us cherry picking their best talent as they don't feel we deserve it.

The deals we have been chasing this season are extremely ambitious and extremely hard. They are with clubs happy to run us through the press and play silly bugger's. But despite the difficulty we are still actually landing players of real quality

It's a testament to the skill of Txiki that we aren't petulantly walking away or moving on to easier targets as a panicked response.

At the end of this window we probably would have signed Sterling, KDB, Delph and Otamendi whilst moving on dross. That is potentially the best transfer window we have had since the takeover, and we would have achieved this because Txiki kept his head when seemingly everybody else lost theirs

Burn him! ;-)
 
Last night was epic on here. Marvellous bed time reading. Some of the giffs and posts were very very funny. I'm more of a reader than a poster and it was brilliant reading. At times I thought it was all a plan by Ric for more hits with his posts being as confused as de bruyne himself. Lol. If anything though the madness has brought us closer to the end of this particular transfer. I imagine de bruyne's agent and wolfsburgs top brass are waking up with a determination to conclude this and save anymore embarrassing episodes. Ps the giff with the stunned looking alien monkey type thing was my absolute favourite. Oh how I laughed. It summed up my reading face at the time brilliantly. Well done blues. Top thread.

I agree if we can land KDB and Otamendi now it will be a great transfer window for us. Especially with other teams hardly improving.
