No news must be good news here surely? If he was in the process of tying up a deal with Wolfsburg, what on earth would have slowed it up, other than thinking very seriously, with his agent, about where else he might be going? Unless he's just bluffing them to get as much out of them as possible.
I find myself thinking — could be just wishful, I know — that there might be a domino effect here. Good players attract good players. We know this. Sure, we've paid over the odds for Sterling, by about £10 million (yes, I know, I don't have to be reminded that that money is not being directly debited from my bank account, I had noticed that. I'm a City supporter — what the club spends concerns me, whether it's for a stand extension or anything else), but I'd hope De Bruyne and Pogba would both look at that and say, this club really means business. They are going to do their damnedest to get that champion's title back, and they want to start making serious waves in the CL. Could just tip it. Personally, if we get even one out of Pogba or De Bruyne, I'll be thinking of one thing only — first match of the new season — even more feverishly than I have been since the final whistle against Southampton. It will have been our biggest summer since Sergio, and no mistake.
