De Bruyne?

[Kompany is King]

Not on plane yesterday then?

It kind of makes sense with us being linked to Pedro.

That's a first.
I haven't seen us being linked with pedro.
Only the rag softarses have to my knowledge.

If we get him I'll be hootin' & a hollerin' because we'll get a brilliant player & really piss off Bayern. It's a win win!

+ 1, we'll piss off Bayern but not necessarily their current manager

Was thinking "pinky and perky" myself.

Yep, it's damage limitation. Making clear that they don't want to sell to City, but that the player has forced the move.

Thanks for the updates Ric, good timing too felt like there was a bit of flapping coming on

 

[KDBsmum]

Really crying out at city to come get him, as he probably won't force a move.

 

[kupest]

That just sounds like waiting for a confirmation for a medical.

 

[cibaman]

Seems he's hedging his bets, doesnt want to be seen to pushing for a move in case it doesn't come off. Perhaps not cut and dry yet

 

[dario2739]

This is my worry. They will make him stay and sell to bayern next year.

The BL is a joke league with joke clubs.

Why do all the German teams seem so happy to drop trouser and let Bayern butt-fuck them?

 

[fairyfeet]

The thing is, they aren't their rivals. Not really.

Schalke are bayerns arch-rivals, and Dortmund are their real modern day rivals.

Wolfsburg have only won 2 trophies in their 71 year history, the 2009 Bundesliga, which they won because Bayern were in a complete shambles on and off the pitch, and the DFB Pokal last year - which they won because they lucked into KDB.

With KDB they finished 2nd last year - mostly because Dortmund, Schalke and Leverkusen had abnormally bad years. This year, they'll struggle to say 2nd with De Bruyne, and without him, 5th would be good.


So that is why they are subserviant. It's a midtable club which lucked into a high finish last year, not really expecting to ever compete with bayern.

Not to mention they share fucking board members!

In fairness to Wolfsburg, they have won the Bundesliga more times than Schalke.

Sounds like the manager knows he will talk to city and hes pissed about it and then the chairman has said" kevins head has been turned he is proffesional but he will have to talk to city we are talking about incredible sums here."

[tomadams]

apparently we have launched a new £47 million bid for him, so i guess the £46 million must have been rejected?

All the clues are there bud!.

Praying KDB is our player this week!

Anybody think Nasri could play the holding role? (No, me neither). He certainly has the footballing brain for it though.

Aguero

Sterling Silva De Bruyne

Nasri Yaya

Mouthwatering! (Ok boys, fire away!!!!!!!!)

I'm presuming your address isn't 221B Baker Street.

I'd be very surprised if Wolfsburg don't confirm a fee has been agreed by tonight.
