On what ?

We don't think we bid "blind". We informally agree a deal with the player and then sound out the selling club. Before an offer is formally made the price is largely agreed.

Obviously Sterling was different but that's how we do it as far as I am aware.

Why haven't we put in a bid?

Its quite simple, and has been posted a number of times in both this and the Pogba thread, we don't have any squad places for anyone not home grown at the moment. If we get a bid accepted we will have excess players, and that reduces their sale price. As soon as someone goes we'll bid.

I think it's inevitable he'll come here this summer.

Wolfsburg just want the fee to be as high as possible, rightfully so from their point of view.

@mancboy123 Just lots of activity around de Bruyne. Think only sticking point now is the price.

Why haven't we put in a bid?

you negotiate till both parties agree on a fee then put a bid in..

I wish we would hurry up with this transfer. We are eating into integration time within the team.
