De Bruyne?

[Higor Douglas]

Very bad his performance today. As said Klaus, he's with the head elsewhere.

 

[MasterOfKnees]

That dribble he tried to make around the keeper was so odd, nothing in it, really should just have shot it over the keeper. Good news for us I assume though.

 

[Moveonlife]

That will cut €10m from the actual price. Good.

 

[Higor Douglas]

Or he's uptight about this whole situation, or is forcing an exit

 

[MasterOfKnees]

Haha, he was trying to run away from play until the whistle was blown.

 

[andersmcfcdk]

Didn't looked focused, and he normally takes corners, in this game he didn't, at least not towards the end of the game.

 

[sk3ptical]

time to take 15 mil off the price

Teams like Wolsburg and Dortmund will never compete with Bayern. They might build a decent team and win the odd competition but eventually the richer clubs will pick off their best players and normal service will resume.

The problem German and even French clubs have is that their league is a lot less marketable than the PL and La Liga. They need Bayern and PSG to attract the top talent which helps the league become more attractive. In essence this gets them more money.

It's a horrible situation for Wolfsburg but they can either sell KDB abroad which will mean the Bundesliga losing one of its top talents or send him to Bayern. Either way they won't be challenging for the league.

All true. But none of that means that they or any other German team are just going to allow Bayern to cherry pick any player they want and let them name their price despite interest from abroad and especially when there's higher bids being received like some people on here seem to genuinely believe is happening. It's scary levels of delusions to think that's the case, if we had heard it from the rags or dippers we'd all be pissing ourselves. Wolfsburg, Dortmund, leverkusen and other similar teams will hate the Bayern dominance more than any other team or fans in the world as they're the ones suffering most from it. They will not be happily rolling over and allowing Bayern to do whatever they want.

so all done - now need to get the contract sorted

 

[Tugay One Cup]

Not a gambling man but where could I go to place a bet that his poor performance will be exaggerated, the miss will be replayed over and over, followed by Collymore claiming that he's a shit prima donna with questionable morals?
