De Bruyne?

So if everything on here since yesterday is correct and taken at face value, this player should be ours within 72 hours. Wolfsburg want 50m we have lodged a 50m bid, the rest should be straight forward.

If only things were so simple. :-)
 
Did you see Allofs quotes in BAMS? (Sunday edition of BILD)

- maybe I go out on a limb (sorry I don't know how you say it in English :D ) when I said Kevin will stay at 99,9%

- he confirmed that they already hold talks how to act after a sale


Best quotes for a long time. Pretty sure he is ours, many Bayern fans feel the same :-)

Of course Liverpool didn't want to sell Sterling, but once they'd resigned themselves to losing him, it played out more or less precisely how they wanted it to - they got the fee they wanted, and they got the 'moral victory' in the press with us paying over the odds.

I have no agenda, all I've done is explain why I've grown sceptical of Txiki recently, give it a rest with the pathetic personal attacks.

You've lost the plot if you think that was a personal attack. Or is it the case now where posters are not allowed to comment on the paucity of your case without you becoming defensive? Like I said, you say you want a discussion but the reality is you are on a crusade to vilify the DoF and use every available piece of evidence to do so, even when you are shown this evidence to have more holes in it than a Swiss cheese.
You don't want to discuss, you want to ram your opinion down our throats and when I, and others disagree, you claim it's a personal attack.
If there's anyone chatting shit in here it's you, especially when asking moderators to have other posters warned because they have said your posts were idiotic.

I do believe in the future Kevin de Bruyne together with Sterling will go some way to emulate the impact that Yaya and David Siva have made over the years. To get these transfer targets is testimony to everyone in the clubs management and we should count our blessings.
That said I was mesmerised by David Wagstaffe and Bert back in the day and you can't put a price on that.
It seems we will get this De Bruyne transfer over the line doing what has to be done in current times. Keep the faith.
Come on City let's show Chelsea our ambition today.
 
The ideal situation would be us getting KDB and then Wolfsburg using some of the fee to go and buy Pedro :)

Great stuff.

But you just know the next quotes will be something along the lines of, until City meet our 60m valuation of Kevin, he will stay at Wolfsburg. One step forward, two steps back in this transfer saga.
 
I've just checked my bank, I can't afford to chip in towards the fee, so I'm out. But if you know anyone who can afford it associated with the club, let them do it on my behalf.

De Bruyne: "We’ll have to see what Wolfsburg want. I’m not the one who makes the decision if I’ll stay" #Wolfsburg

Is that first one him saying he was wrong to say he's staying 99.9% when he said it last week?

Or is it him going out on a limb now and saying he still thinks he will stay?

Shame if we have to pay 50 mill. Were in danger of every club taking the piss from now on and the money bags tag and hatred for us will never end.

Bit late for that now, we're already tagged with "ruining football" and had to overpay in the early days, but we're not the only one who've had to pay over the odds for players.
Liverpool paying how much ? £34m for Carroll ?
Chelsea £50m for Torres,
Felleni £30m, and they really got value and longevity out of those !
City are now an attractive destination for players, winning titles and trophies, a state of the Art Academy, an expanding stadium, we no longer pay massive salaries to all and sundrie.
We've had to deal with the media bias against us since the takeover, which has only exacerbated after winning titles and signing Sterling, but anyone with half a brain knows not to take it at face value, especially with Mourinho regularly putting his foot in it, provides the media with some real meat to chew on.
I don't think it's any coincidence that City try to conduct their business discreetly and respectfully mirrors the conduct of our players on the pitch, you won't find our players descending into harassing the ref, or diving incessantly.
Look how quickly opinions changed after the opening round of matches, from a declining force on the wane, to title favourites and gushing press for our performance at WBA, that's the way it should be, City doing their talking on the pitch.

I couldn't be sure but I would suspect that KDB and Wolfsburg have always had a figure in mind that they both felt was what they wanted to achieve as a selling price for KDB. If Wolfsburg then continued to procrastinate having achieved that figure, I feel that the player would feel obliged to to step in.
It is all in my opinion, of course, but I feel that kind of scenario may be in play otherwise Wolfsburg may as well stop talking to us which they clearly haven't done. Everything clearly points to Wolfsburg trying to achieve a certain figure, with City resisting, much the same as the Sterling saga.

Certainly would have been if Txiki had done like some wanted and went in quickly with a high bid. They were always going to change the goalposts.

If this transfer does happen maybe some of those posters will come on applauding him a) for getting the deal done with a difficult selling club and b) for making the starting price at negotiations low enough that we have at least contained their demands to a range that we can accept
