I don't for a second.

Why can't people understand that though Woldfsburg will sell, they are doing it under duress as the player has asked to move (and city are in effect paying his loyalty bonus), and they'd prefer to keep the player.

They can't replace him for 50m. If they could, then city would also be looking at that player.

Because the argument makes no sense. If they don't want to sell then don't sell. If they do want to sell then sell now.There is no point agreeing to a sale and then picking the player. What have they to gain? There is no need for brinkmanship anymore and they will be selecting a player who's mind is all over the shop and possibly couldn't give a fuck.

It's like making someone redundant and then expecting them to work their gardening leave. There's no point.

Logically, if he does play, a fee has not been agreed.

EXCLUSIVE: Manchester City line up £20m swoop for Chelsea reject Kevin De Bruyne

MANCHESTER CITY want to sign £20 million rated Chelsea reject Kevin De Bruyne.

Manuel Pellegrini has target the Belgian as a must-have January signing


City boss Manuel Pellegrini has targeted the Belgian international (above) who only moved to Bundesliga side Wolfsburg in January, as a must have addition to a squad currently hit by injuries and financial fair play restrictions.

He believes that the 23-year-old attacking midfielder who was part of his country’s World Cup finals squad would be a useful addition to a side looking to retain their Premier League title.

De Bruyne joined Chelsea from Genk in January 2012 for £7 million and was heralded as a player destined for greatness at Stamford Bridge.

But the opportunities never came and after just three appearances he was shipped out on loan to Werder Bremen for a season before joining Wolfsburg for £18 million on a permanent deal just under 12 months ago, giving Chelsea a healthy profit.





But City scouts have been impressed by his displays in the Bundesliga and believe at the second time of asking he can become a big hit in the Premier League under Pellegrini.

Wolfsburg will want at least £20 million for the player who has an eye for goals - especially important for City who have been rocked by injuries to their main three strikers, Sergio Aguero, Edin Dzeko and Stevan Jovetic.

City still have to be careful on the buying front after being fined £49 million for breaching financial fair play rules and being restricted during the summer transfer window to a net spend of the same amount.

But De Bruyne will be within the acceptable budget if City can negotiate a deal around the same figure that Wolfsburg paid for the Belgian

We've seen reports that "fee agreed" and "personal terms" agreed today.....not sure how true all those rumours can be in the press....If these reports are true, I cant see him playing tomorrow.......No point Wolfsburg agreeing a fee and then start him 24 hours later, they might as well just reject the offer and come back to the table next week .....no player or a team that respects its players would surely agree a fee for him to leave and then start him the next day in a league match?....would just seem wrong on every level and look bad for Wolfsburg......but I'm no expert so I'm sure anything can happen....
