De Bruyne?

Ah fuck me, it's never easy is it?

It makes you wonder what the negotiations were for, were we trying to find a way to make sure certain people didn't behave like cunts?

I think we have established that Kevin wants to come here. Of that I'm confident. We wouldn't negotiate and then bid without that certainty.

This is Wolfsburg fighting for every last penny now, although again I'd have have thought that might have been agreed off the record whilst talking. It would seem not.

Again, I come back to, what have we actually been negotiating? For 2 whole months? His waist size?

Such longevity in them, would make you think when the bid goes in, we are home and dry.

But it's this hard? Really?

He will be a blue in the end, player power rules, but the fucking soap opera in between really fucks with my head.

Same question I asked that what exactly where they were they negotiating over 2 or 3 months ago? There seems to be some urgency about this move as we approach the close of this transfer window. My question is why didn't we witness all this drama early enough so that there'd be ample time to get this over the line just in time before September 1st? It makes me ask questions about the ability of those in charge of transfers to close deals. Read an hillarious post one time about Txixi not being able to close a book let alone a transfer deal and I'm beginning to share his sentiments. Never criticized Txixi before but I think he's not doing a good-enough job at the moment. I hope Wolfsburg's playing hard ball is about wanting to get as much reasonable money as possible because if they indeed DON'T want to sell, they hold all the cards. Even if the player drops a transfer request or begins to do a Sterling (sorry I used this terminology), they can just call a crazy amount e.g. £100 million knowing that he still has 4 years or so in his contract. This is not too hard to imagine because these guys can be very very hard to deal with. For now we can only hope that things turn positive but if it doesn't, I'll never look away from two things: one, the fact that Txixi was a slow mole in this one and two, the fact that we lost Pogba in the same window
 
Some right self-entitled and naïve comments made on here. Its as if people here really have a valid view on how to conduct such transactions and if they have a right or even any capability to judge the and critique our management

Negotiations are done in private. How do you know what was discussed if anything months back? The press "speculate" and everyone adds their own interpretation.

If a club doesn't want to sell a player then how does that impact on the competence of our officials? You could say we should move n, but there aren't that many players who are obviously better than what we have. You could just buy loads of promising players and hope 1 or 2 work out. That seems to be some clubs' strategy.

A week into the season, I maintain that it's City and only City who have strengthened significantly this Summer. Jovetic and Dzeko were not contributing and their departure allows hungry young players to make an impact. In the Cups last season, the fringe squad layers came in. You'd expect them to be flying with a point to prove, but no they were complacent.

Words fail me!
 
Sport Witness has quoted a couple of Belgian papers saying we'll be offering De Bruyne £228k per week on a 6 year contract
