De Bruyne?

Jesus Christ don't say that mate ;)

tell me how Txiki can stop Wolfsburg from raising the price? the only guy who could stop that is KDB by handing in transfer request, but he obviously wont do that

Haha I think even txiki himself would admit that, still the wrath of bluemoon may be upon me...

After all this maybe the club could approach allofs, played a fecking blinder here

Not sure I necessarily agree. From everything we have heard the player has been average at best in appearances since the rumors really heated up. Also hearing personal fee has been agreed so the player wants the move. He seems to be a distraction/detriment to the team right now. He wants to move on and his play is that of a player whose mind is elsewhere. If Wolfsburg think he'll just switch back and start dominating again they may be sorely mistaken.

If I'm a teammate and even coach I want this done, now. This team has an entire season to get on with and this is a massive distraction that is dragging team down.

He wants to leave, Wolfsburg is blocking the way.

So why doesn't he put in a transfer request then?? £££££ that's why! No other reason if he wants to come so badley

Allofs, are you worried about the possible departure of De Bruyne?

 

[Blue warrior]

As much as this Alloffs guy is getting on mine and many other posters tits he's doing what is right by Wolfsburg. They don't have/need to sell but will if an extraordinary offer comes in. City obviously doing what's best for us ie trying to haggle the price down. I don't think they're willing to budge.

Silva was branded as being too lightweight for the premier league (because people still come out wth that cliche whenever a player is signed who isn't built like Yakubu), Yaya would never have become a club legend at defensive mid (the position he played until joining us) and Aguero wasn't one of the best strikers in the world at all (Forlan was more important for Atletico FFS). Apologies for all the brackets, it's been a long day.

People seem to have forgotten the general public consensus when these players signed for us. Ok so everyone saw Agueros potential but we were ridiculed for paying those fees for Silva and Yaya at the time.

Don`t be stupid ... thats a far to sensible post.And correct as well.Every transfer at every club is a risk.If we want the best,we pay the best.Monkeys and nuts springs to mind TOC.

All the indications are that he will sign on Monday and the deal has been done and it will be announced earl next week, this thread has turned out exactly how I feared it would when it was not all done and dusted by Friday, a mass Flapaphon

Most of the 'indications' so far for most of our signings and non signings have been off base to be fair.

It's nice that ric and co post some exciting stories but when you break it down 95% of what they have said has been incorrect.

- He's handing in a transfer request today.

- We have a plane on standby.

- He'll sign next 48 hours.

- Fee verbally agreed.

Eventually when he signs they'll say 'told you he was signing'.

The bottom line of this deal is that nothing is agreed with the clubs and Wolfsberg are playing mega hard ball.

This will drag on for another week. There is nothing more certain.

Fair point. Some have said earlier it's just not done in Germany. Not sure if that's true or not. One would think City would more than make up for his loss of money in loyalty clause if he did officially request a transfer.

He does okay tracking back, he's not as lazy at it as Nasri but not as good at it as Navas. He can easily be taught to do it better though, important to remember he's only 24. Also, I feel Silva has gotten better at it recently.

Doesn't he play as a number 10 for Wolfsburg though?

That's my only worry, that we get left in a position where our full back is constantly exposed due to playing KDB out of position. Of course you cannot criticise his attacking game based on last season and in that respect he will be a huge upgrade on Navas.

However, for £50 million there must be a winger out there who is similar to Navas defensively and offers a lot more than him going forward. After all, that's what we need to improve.
