De Bruyne?

The only thing that makes me think this will still go through apart from its obvious that Wolfsburg are still talking to us, is that the club, the player and his agent may never get this level of monetary offer ever again. They would be barmy to let it slip...oh wait ;-)
 
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.

Spurs have a **** just like him!
 
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.
Agüero scored 27 goals at 19 years old for Atléti. Then scored 21, 19(injuries) and 27 goals from 20-23 years old. Forlan was only more important in that season Kun had injuries and scored 19 (Forlan scored 35 that season). Forlan was the elder, more experienced player.
 
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.
Anyone is free to beleive what they want to beleive I guess, from everything I know and understand the deal is more or less done and all the twitter bullshit this weekend is just background noise or click bait, if I did not beleive that I would just walk away from the thread and shrug my shoulders, it's been a long saga this one I have to agree but it was always destined to be so

I think it's unfair on out ITKs picking on this transfer. They've been really good this window. They've been wide of the mark on this one because it's been so unpredictable, never seen so many false dawns.

Let's all agree that if and when he does sign we will all be friends again. If he doesn't sign then maybe we will get a last minute surprise instead.

The only thing certain here is that nothing is certain. If we haven't even learned that by now we need our heads examining.
