Wolfsburg hold all cards its simple as that. they can keep increasing the price if they like, because they dont want to sell. no negotiating team in the world would manage to stop it.I'll probably be vilified for this; but so be it.
It's quite clear that we haven't agreed a fee yet with no sign of that happening despite the 'advanced talks'
If everyone rightly recalls the ITKs stated that the fee would be around the 43 million back in July.
let's assume that 43 million was our estimation of KDB's valuation - that means in the space of a few weeks we've jumped circa 10 million.
Some negotiating team. With a slight resemblance to the Sterling transfer I might add.
Now Wolfsburg are holding out for 57; I actually foresee us backing out of this deal now rather than paying that.
then he'll end up at Bayern for a lesser fee.
I've actually thought from day 1 that we're focusing on the wrong area of our team here. We've been for the past two years the highest goal scorers in the league - we just needed to secure our midfield.
We haven't done that; despite the change of system. At the end of the day they're the same players from last year. See Gary Nevilles Post match analysis on Sunday.
As things stand I hope that Fernandinho, Toure and Silva don't suffer an injury or loss of form otherwise we're vulnerable both in the league and in Europe.
If that is wumming or offensive to anyone in here; I'm sorry - I truly am.
It's probably bollocks but what does it matter if we pay 57 million or 5 million. To the posters moaning about it, it effects your life in no way whatsoever.

Wait but KDB is a midfielder. OK KDB will be played out on the right most of the time probably, but he is still a midfielder that is very capable at playing centrally. It's not a defensive option but isn't that what Fernandinho, Fernando and Delph are for? Who would you suggest would "secure" the midfield? a Matic type?I've actually thought from day 1 that we're focusing on the wrong area of our team here.
