De Bruyne?

Anyone heard what sort of fee we're paying for the lad? He's worth whatever they're asking IMO but can't wait to see how much the media say we're paying for a "flop".

I don't know where it comes from its basically 3rd hand.

I'm just happy we getting a top top top player. Best player in Germany last year. Just think of the players he has beat to win that. Mindblowing.

Mindblowing indeed but you can bet the media will play it down. It's unbelievable the attacking options we're going to have. Can't wait!

Add to the five top-to-world class players up front Lopes, Nacho, and Roberts (who seems to be a fringe EDS-First Team player already) and we have quite the future. Oh, and don't forget Barker and Manu Garcia to come.

No doubt the fee will include wages like all the others so I'd guess at 94m

Somewhere between £38-£45m according to the latest reports.

Yesterday we were apparently lining up £38m after being confident it was enough.

Today Wolfsburg will demand £45m.

No one really knows, obviously, but I doubt those numbers will be too far off.

 

[Stephenhakin]

I'll be happy with anything under 50m. Well worth every penny.

No no no.

They'll do the classic £ -> € conversion.

So a few decent people will report it as £45m (for example) then in Germany they'll say €65m.

And then the next day the red tops will go with £65m

And the annual fee for the "City Oprhan Children Hunting Ground", which is paid for by the club for our sadistic and evil amusement.

I'm glad this lad is nearly a done deal. Would be great if we started him against the rent boys next week!
