De Bruyne?

[Happy Feet]

De Bruyne unsure of next move as Wolfsburg welcome Manchester City offer

The German club have remained adamant that the 24-year-old will not be sold this summer but Dieter Hecking now admits a bid for the midfielder would not be immediately rejected

I'm sure things will start moving on this now Jovetic is out of the door. I reckon an offer will be submitted in the next 48 hours.

I´m pretty confident. No threat from Wolfsburg at all. No "he is not for sale" "we are not interested in offers" "he will stay with us for 100%" "clubs don`t need to call us" etc.

Very confident.

If it is true that we have given up on Pogba financing the De Bruyne deal should not be a problem. There should be 70+ million originally earmarked for Pogba available.

Shush, don't tell Wolfsburg that ;)

Hopefully a deal is struck soon. Would love to see him in the squad for matchday 1!

Sign older players with proven quality - Should be signing younger players with potential

Sign younger players with potential - Should be signing older players with proven quality.

Sign cheap potential - Should be signing proven quality regardless of cost.

Signing proven quality regardless of cost - We spent too much, the rags in the pub are going to take the piss.

Personally I've come to terms with the fact that clearly Abu Dhabi want the best value they can get both for outgoing players and incoming players. It's clear from Pellegrini's comments too that we aren't arsed about when deals get done between now and Sept 1st - which also means that the technical staff feel comfortable enough with the players we already have for the first 4 games of the season.


I realise that it's frustrating but I think the ownership are entitled to deal with things in this manner. They've been battered for overspending, yet every time they go to buy a player they get quoted outlandish prices and every time they try and sell a player the buying club wants to pay with peanuts in instalments.

So are you saying Sheikh Mansour is worried about the local rags taking the piss out of him when he goes to the pub on a night?

We've only got 12 days until we play West Brom, and any deal for De Bruyne is still, at best, several days off I suspect (if, in fact, any deal ends up materialising). The odds of him being thrust into the matchday squad for that first match are very, very slim indeed.

Given Pellegrini's comments about players being unavailable for the West Brom game (Delph, Demichelis, Zabaleta, Fernandinho, Aguero) we may be a bit thin on the ground for that match. Still, an opportunity possibly for someone who has impressed in pre-season to find themselves on the bench I suppose.

My hope is it happens very quickly tomorrow...giving him a chance to play Saturday.

It's in the stars a winning debut v Chelsea infront of a half full 3rd tier.
