De Bruyne?

[Worst Case Ontario]

So he becomes the most expensive signing by English club? The press is gonna love it. Hopefully he can prove that he is worth it and not just 1 season wonder.

Is he on a flight yet?

We have a new wage structure .......16m a season/year is about 330,000 a week....no way he will earn more than anyone else at the club

bonuses - winning CL + PL + Cups?

Even counting bonuses it is way too much .... IMO I do not see us paying him anywhere near that...we are not talking Messi here

Just on approach to ringway.

You are imagining things shocker

I have decided simply not to believe any reported fees or wages. Firstly, the media have an agenda where our financial status is concerned and secondly, we are clearly developing our business in the long term so short term, premium investments are a positive part of the overall picture.

If we get him it will be good business, simply that. Age, talent, contract and what it says about our club as a world power are all fantastic promotional tools to attract investment and better players.

Course there has been an offer and behind closed doors no doubt some kind of an agreement on the fee. Wolfsburg just had a 30m bid rejected by Napoli for Dreiss Mertens. Wolfsburg will want to tie up a replacement before they tell the world they just got shit loads of dough for KDB.

€80m is roughly £56m so he's still less than Di Maria
