The longer a transfer deal takes to conclude the more opportunities there are for things to crop up and scupper it. Whether it be cold feet on behalf of a player, clubs moving the goalposts regarding the transfer fee, or other clubs sniffing around trying to whisk the player away from under your nose. Potentially Bayern are interested, potentially it's Wolfsburg using them to try and screw a few more pounds out of City, either way it's a direct consequence of this deal dragging along for a few months at this stage. Whilst I appreciate that deals of this ilk, with the size of the monetary amounts involved, take a while to finalise, this one has rumbled on for way longer than should really be expected.
He'll have no idea what you're talking about.
Yeah, Dante wants out so they'll try and use him on any deal
Txiki has a formidable Praetorian Guard - but they are only ceremonial.He's not said anything too contentious - So he's a bit less confident than some?
There's no middle ground or perspective on here during the rutting season.
Love it though ;-)
Hahahahaaaaaaaaaaaa.as SWP usually says "go and wipe your fanny".Average ? You really are wumming now.Is that the best you can come up with?
If we don't sign KDB it's been an average transfer window at best for me
Bayern's offer, from what I was told, is around £35m + Dante + a season-long loan back for KDB.
City's offer is in the neighbourhood of £50m cash.
Key thing here is De Bruyne prefers to leave Wolfsburg immediately and the whole idea of Bayern's loan back idea would be to keep the fee down, since I don't think they will offer what we are.
Someone said Allofs looked really tired, like he was negotiating all night....
This has not been the ITK's finest hour, it has to be said. Not in terms of time frames, anyway but that doesn't make them wrong about the eventual outcome.Which point are you disagreeing with me on?
The fact that ITKs knowledge has turned out to be garbage? Or that we still don't look close to signing this kid?
Wtf?I'm the perennial opptedmist, just can't see this happening, off to sunny London Town, the Norwich, it's going to be an interesting interview, only worked down there twice and think I called the guy that is interviewing me a clueless ****, still got a nice night in Battersea to look forward to :)

We're all keeping calm as each thread page is added except for tCan someone provide me with a quick update, just logged on and there seems to be quite a lot of flapping. Has anything actually happened or is it just genuine flapping? Thanks
Can we freeze this post at the top of each page for those with weak dispositions. We're fast approaching page 1894.It's fairly simple really - we haven't finalised a fee with Wolfsburg yet.
Sorry, only named a a few people than know me, apart from the KDB bit, and rushing a bit :(Wtf?
There is also the small matter of KDB wages. I somehow don't see how he can make the same as with City, so he will loose money.So Bayern basically are trying to value Dante + 1 season of De Bruyne playing at Wolfsburg at £15m? Dante is nearly 32, and unwanted at Bayern, so maybe £5m if I'm being generous for him, so is keeping De Bruyne for 1 more season worth £10m to Wolfsburg? I don't see that somehow. Plus you've got the question of Dante's wages to factor in, which won't be cheap.
