De Bruyne?

City will have insisted that all parties conform to a non-disclosure agreement hence why DeBruyne is staying quite, maybe this why his agent got in such a flap over the ambush. Wolfsburg themselves have said very little except the usual rhetoric to keep their fans happy.

Of course everyone is entitled to their right to flap and slag the player off because he has not gone on strike or made speeches declaring his love of the shirt. However, I regard it as just so much hot air and posters needing to feel indignant and vent.

Txiki has likely been in discussion with KDB's agent for months and KDB will be doing whatever his agent advises him - that is how it works. So KDB's behaviour is likely to be entirely what has been agreed between Txiki and the agent. All IMO of course - but at least as valid as all the slagging off of the player - and a lot more positive.

I'm not sure if it's the length of time it's taking, the not knowing too much about him, our very good start to the season or the very high fee (or a combination of all) but I feel completely nonchalant about whether De Bruyne signs or not. His record speaks for itself and you rarely go wrong buying from Germany but I'm struggling to care about the whole thing. Any one else feeling like this?

My only worry about signing him is that he's not the exact player we need. A big part of our great play so far has come from the width and pace Navas has on the left. What we really need is a Navas with end product. That's not KDB at all, he's not fast enough and he's not a natural winger.

However I think Pellers has done enough for us to trust him if he says this is the player we need, and there's not doubting his unbelievable quality and the stats speak for themselves. I look forward to us having someone in midfield who will lash in a few 25 yard screamers each season as well, sometimes we seem way too hesitant to shoot from distance.

The fee is high, but it's not our money and if he delivers the results he did last year than it's going to seem a good investment. He's probably the best player in Europe who is actually available.
 
People slated the Fernandinho fee and look how that worked out

People slated the Mangala fee and after adapting to the league he has the potential to be one of the best CBs in the world.

People slated the Sterling fee and look how he has improved our team.

The fact is, the fee is irrelevant as long as the player improves us. With De Brunye, Sterling and Mangala, we are looking at players who can contribute to City for the next 8-10 years. Also, with the way the transfer market is going, we could easily recoup most, if not profit, on these players if we choose to do so at a later date.

People get far to wrapped up in what the media and other fans thinks of us. The way I see it is, I've got an affordable season ticket and the club want to sign one of the best playmakers in Europe. Why the hell would and true City fan be against that?
 
Got if from a Wolfsburg fan who is linked closely to the media in Wolfsburg. He has always been reliable, never claimed to know more than he really did.

I stick to it: No training for De Bruyne today. You all can guess what that means.
