De Bruyne?

[totallywired]

Definitely not good enough. A standout for an average team but an average player for a top team. He has nothing special about him besides his stat count. I'm struggling to identify what characteristics he possesses that will eventually turn him into a WC player.

Dickhead, jog on!

Sammer on De Bruyne: "He's a fantastic player, but we have to accept Wolfsburg's decision not to sell him."

Volkswagen's CEO is a member of Bayern's supervisory board so they should know.

I don't speak a word of German, but could that be interpreted as Wolfsburg's decision not to sell him to Bayern? Doesn't mean they wouldn't sell him abroad - to us?

Exactly, it would be like UTD not wanting to sell rooney to us/chelsea/arsenal etc...well if rooney was better lol.

Makes perfect sense.

i think the same, we have him highly on our list and selling abroad with us as top choice should be a smooth affair

Hehe no, there's no room for interpretation. They definitely won't sell him this summer.

Don't think they would have a problem to sell him to Bayern in the future. The two clubs are quite interconnected. Volkskwagen (who own Wolfsburg) are minority owners at Bayern (through Audi) and their CEO is a board member. Last year they got Luiz Gustavo for a good price, Mandzukic went the other way a few years ago.
