De Bruyne?

Wolfsburg are eyeing Schalke star Julian Draxler as a possible replacement for De Bruyne, after Juve have not been able to make a deal with Schalke. Draxler have a 35 million Euro release clause in his contract...
 
That only works if you believe you CAN improve your squad in this window. If Wolfsburg don't believe they can, then it makes more sense to keep the money until they feel the right players are available. If they believe that (and they seemingly do), then it makes total sense to drag things out for a few more million. They've nothing to lose, as they've already resigned themselves to keeping the money for later. If the deal falls through, they keep their man, otherwise, they get the max price for him. Not every promoted team opts to spend a fortune because they've been promoted, and in the same way, not every team opts to spend a fortune just because they're in CL. There's nothing 'wrong' in accepting you're not going to win it anyway, so just enjoy being in it, and spend sensibly with any money they get.
If we sold Aguero, I'd not be happy with 5-6 players as a replacement (at 8m a go). I'd rather wait until we could get another world class forward, even if that mean waiting until next year.

i agree with you on aguero but city are in a far different position then wolfsburg...aguero could and would go for much more then KDB but we would already have someone set up in advance

wolfsburg have had since last january to line up a replacement player, hell they could spend 30 million on a player and get a player that not only is talented but would fit in their team
 


Manchester City are locked in talks with Wolfsburg aimed at bringing the Kevin de Bruyne saga to a close.

The two clubs appear to have an outline agreement for a deal initially worth around £50m - but the structure of the payment has not yet been thrashed out.

De Bruyne wants to join City – he and his agent have taken that position all along – but Wolfsburg have played hard ball over the transfer fee,

But the Bundesliga club's sporting director Klaus Allofs, who has constantly claimed there have been no bids from City, and has even said the Bundesliga player of the year would stay with his club for at least another 12 months, has finally admitted talks are being held.
 
A suite has been booked at the Lowry Hotel for tonight. This doesn't 100% guarantee that he will be over tonight. The volume of business large clients do with The Lowey an other high end hotels, mean that the cancellation rules don't really apply like they do to the average Joe
I won't get my hopes high yet. I'll hold back the dancing gifs.
