De Bruyne?

Tomorrow it is then, maybe.

Doesn't look close to happening to be fair

It does to me.

If De Bruyne isn't arsed/wants to stay at WOB, like some say, why has he turned down two contract offers? His only fault here is being too nice and not confrontational enough to make this hostile. He has told them privately and politely he would like to move, but it hasn't really sped it up. Perhaps he will become more aggressive in the last 7 days.

Also, it's OK to name players like Griezmann and Bale and how much they might cost, but a player could have a 20p release clause and it means nothing if they don't want to move. Chelsea already tried for Griezmann and United seem to have harassed Madrid constantly for Bale. Same applies for Isco.

Thank you. Just logged on, went to last page and read this. Saved me trawling through the last 50 pages since last night. See you all again tomorrow.

How much better than Nasri is KDB? Nasri clearly has more passing/finishing ability than Navas, and Sterling currently, yet we don't play him because he slows us down and makes us narrow compared to what Navas does.

I've seen the KDB videos and obviously he looks class, and you don't post the stats he posted last season without playing at a very high level - but where would he play for us? Silva is amazing in behind the striker so I wouldn't want him pushed back out wide, therefore I assume his aim is to replace Navas, but is KDB the kind of player that would do what Navas does or would he play more into Nasri's style?

We look good playing with 2 genuine wide players and spreading the play, my only worry with this signing would be the loss of that on one side.

These are genuine questions to people who've had chance to watch KDB more than me, as I've only really seen from highlight videos, which of course make anyone look pretty good.

he is an upgrade on navas....you can see him as a mix of both players...he is faster than nasri more fluid maybe not that fast as navas but fast...and skillful and good at long range shoots or shoots in generell like nasri....so would be an upgrade and its good to have him playing right sterling left and silva in the middle....when you want to compete with the best you need two good person for one postition so we can brinf the pacefull navas for de bruyne in second half and he would terrorise the defense and the skillful nasri for sterling in second half...and for ferna or toure you can bring delph...must buy to compete with the big guns like bayern,barca or real

Wolfsburg are bracing themselves for us readying the preparation of a bid.

We need a plan B, and go for plan B

I am not sure why Forza has actually said this. If it isn't close now, it ain't getting done at all. What is the significance of Friday? That an ultimatum?

Some people keep mentioning Bale but there is no chance of that happening at this late stage.Look at all the financial implications and it would be impossible to conduct and complete a sale of this magnitude in less than week.
