De Bruyne?

[Worst Case Ontario]

So he becomes the most expensive signing by English club? The press is gonna love it. Hopefully he can prove that he is worth it and not just 1 season wonder.

 

[SPIDERBOY]

Is he on a flight yet?

 

[George Hannah]

We have a new wage structure .......16m a season/year is about 330,000 a week....no way he will earn more than anyone else at the club

bonuses - winning CL + PL + Cups?

WCO In negative slant shocker

Now there's a headline for the press

Or not

Even counting bonuses it is way too much .... IMO I do not see us paying him anywhere near that...we are not talking Messi here

Just on approach to ringway.

You are imagining things shocker

I have decided simply not to believe any reported fees or wages. Firstly, the media have an agenda where our financial status is concerned and secondly, we are clearly developing our business in the long term so short term, premium investments are a positive part of the overall picture.

If we get him it will be good business, simply that. Age, talent, contract and what it says about our club as a world power are all fantastic promotional tools to attract investment and better players.

Course there has been an offer and behind closed doors no doubt some kind of an agreement on the fee. Wolfsburg just had a 30m bid rejected by Napoli for Dreiss Mertens. Wolfsburg will want to tie up a replacement before they tell the world they just got shit loads of dough for KDB.

€80m is roughly £56m so he's still less than Di Maria

No, that's still di Maria.

And he is even flying it himself

What we pay for him is irrelevant in my opinion, but to dampen your sceptacism, he wont be costing much more than Di-Maria and I am supremely confident he'll prove a much bigger success than him.

Daz....thats around £230k a week before tax......if these numbers end up being correct, it will be made up of salary/bonuses etc. Wouldnt worry too much about these figures mate....I'm not sure if the report from WAZ (the local Wolfsburg paper) is saying agreement found or thats what it will take to get it done...hopefully its close and we'll hear news very soon!;)

WAZ (local paper, reliable on Wolfsburg matters): DeBruyne has decided to leave Wolfsburg for #MCFC €80m fee, €16m wage (VfL offered €11m)

hope you're right but City have some creative ways of paying wages these days!

Lol its hard to be worse than Flopmaria, all that money and fucked off after 1 year :D

Here you go mate!;)

City Watch ‏@City_Watch 4m4 minutes ago
Kicker: City have offered De Bruyne a contract worth around £145,000/week + bonuses. Wolfsburg offered around £110,000/week.

 

[SWP's back]

No offer wtf , is that true?

No. We negotiate. We'll only put one official offer in.

As long as those scallies don't go robbing him.
