De Bruyne?

[The Stockport Iniesta]

I find the concept of fixing every possible problem with the team, in one transfer window, & panicking if it doesn't happen, bizarre. Even after you have tried several times to fix other positions, in other transfer windows, & it doesn't necessarily work, this time it will. Of course that would be wonderful if it was so easy, but it just doesn't happen. Occasionally, a club has a great window & finds several players who go straight into the team & fix a couple of weak spots, but how often ? Usually, maybe one player really kicks in, & the others take a year to settle, or never do.

We have a huge player in Sterling, & maybe are going to get one or two more. Maybe then we get one for a different position in the next window & he turns out a success, etc.

It might be the case, that Chelsea or whoever are better than us next season. That's just life. not a reason for mass suicide or sacking everyone. Just try to continue improving from there.

Would be a good argument if we hadn't had a few bad transfer windows in a row, if this one turns out to be not great then that's okay, because the next ones will be good, sorry but I don't buy argument. Sterling is a great signing, but apart from that we haven't really strengthened.

Still plenty of time yet, but we have a lot of work to do if we are to mount a serious challenge for the title.

This might sound like a wacky idea but.....PUT A FUCKIN BID IN!

Not as hard as it is for some to grasp FFP, apparently.

Just fuck a bid in.

If it gets accepted; great
If it gets rejected; bid again

Worked for Sterling.

It will never be revealed to us public simpletons, but would love to know the real inner workings of a transfer like this and why it has absolutely stalled. Seems ten days ago this was apparently all but done. Now we're seven days until start of season, he's in Germany winning trophies and we've not even put in a bid. So bizarre.

Couple quotes from him in the sun.

Basically saying if a bid comes in he will hear about it and be told how much etc.

Also says the prem is the place to be and that nobody yet has made a bid.

This is getting on my tits now. It really is. I can't understand why the fuck we haven't bid because to me Wolfsburg are practically saying come and fucking do it. They've told the lad they'll keep him in the loop like they're fucking expecting one.

What the fuck are we waiting for? The fucking tooth fairy? I don't get it. What are we playing at?

This has gone on so long with so many drops from Wolfsburg (if you read between the lines) I'm starting to think that we are genuinely not interested in the player.

It's alright saying there are 4 weeks left but would we really let something like this drag on this close to the season? It's comes across a little unprofessionally and that is not something I would ever level against us.

I've read that back now and I'll admit I sound like I'm flapping, but it stands to reason that many people would be absolutely perplexed with the time this has taken.

Maybe it's as simple as a second large expenditure putting the club over budget for Pogba at his current price, and he's the priority.

We don't want him?
