De Bruyne?

You tried buying something the vendor doesn't want to sell
My old man is a decorator, if he doesn't want a job he submits a stupid price... If they say yes he drops other work and does it.. Juve doing the same, if we offer to meet the price we get our hall stairs and landing done... Anaglypta

All about who blinks.... I'm not having for one minute that this is over...
 
I see some here suggesting to wait until September before we lash out. That's a set-back imo.
Me ......guilty as charged......... I believe You can't criticise a performance until it is completed. We know nothing of the intricacies of KDB or Pogba deals so we have to wait and see. People seem to think Txiki is sat on his backside doing rock all and I believe that is far from the truth. But if people want to rush to judgement so be it...... Unfair....but so be it!

Anaglypta

Possibly the best post I've ever seen on BM.
 
I think if we sign neither KDB or Pogba then this window was a failure and imho if anything the squad was weakened with Milner, Dzeko, Jovetic and Dzeko gone. Guess you can count Lampard in that too.

Point being Sterling is a terrific talent no doubt but Deph is average/good. Unal and Roberts won't be anywhere near the first team so I really hope there is a Plan A- if neither KdB nor Pogba sign and I say A- rather than B because I don't want us to make desperation signings like Rodwell etc. again!

I am thinking Isco and / or Wilshere or even Barkley.
 
is KDB home grown?

edit: No he was 21 when joined Chelski
Makes me laugh when people call Chelsea "chelski", but would probably hate it if people called us "Abu Dhabi city", or something equally stupid!

No dig at you, btw, just something I've noticed!

I can understand the time line with Pogba deal, even if it doesn't turn out successful, I won't be surprised. But with KDB, I thought he should've been a City player by now.

I know Txiki isn't relaxing sitting on his couch, but whatever he's doing, he needs to do a little more. And fix what's broken.

Mate, stuff your anaglypta. For £81m I'd want proper fcukin woodchip.
 
You've got to wonder what on Earth is going on with this transfer. He was identified as a target months ago and we're now a week away from the season and nothing seems to be happening. It's piss poor management.
Wondering that myself. A week from the season starting and we're hearing no bid on De Bruyne and no word on a bid for Pogba. No word of us looking for alternatives, either.

I don't get it. Would love for someone to explain what our strategy could be here.

I just love the fact that people who have not got a clue how to negotiate in high stake negotiations judge people who make a living at it (it's not just you by the way) I blame it on far to many computer games and fantasy football I am confident the deal will happen in it's own good time if it's right for the club, they don't seem to be panicking so why should we

Ever thought it might not be in Txikis hands at this stage of the negotiations ?

You forget to add and then turns up late for the job ;)

Well in that case, there's no need for a forum where people talk about transfers and other things. Seems like you have it all sorted out. Great stuff, wonder why you haven't got an offer to work along side Txiki yet.

People here must be stupid talking about when he's joining? should he join?
