De Bruyne?

Then they have an unhappy player who has publicly committed for us.

Right now we're totally powerless. Zero leverage. A few million euro would have given us some leverage (unhappy player)

The way it stands he can tell us to go fuck ourselves and we're screwed.

No. We are not 'screwed' we are top of the league & fucking fantastic. It' DeBruyne who would have the problem, not us. He is having a great life.
 
This thread have turned into a religion. ppl just believe without

No I haven't but as the late Neville Neville said: Wolfsburg rebuilt him and he is a hero there. He has no reasons to force through the move.

So he's perfectly happy to stay at Wolfsburg is he? Let him stay there then. I want players who are determined to play for City.

Yes loads of them. Happens all the time because technically we don't have to bid. If Txiki calls Allofs and says "what about 35 million" and he says "no chance" then it's not a bid and both sides have plausible deniability.

You also have to remember that often times the deals are done via agents. So we give KDB's agent an offer to take to Wolfsburg. Again it's not an official offer in the purest sense because it's not come directly from City.

We have to be patient this week and trust Txiki and the rest of the board. They're no mugs.

You really think it would take weeks to agree a price even if it is done via agents? I doubt they have to personally deliver messages to either side.

Wolfsburg rebuilt him my arse, he is a footballer, they are a football team that is all, think they all need to get over themselves a bit
 
I honestly can't see how he's going to fit into our side at the minute. Not a big fan of navas but what he's bringing to the team at the minute is exactly what we need. Yes we need options but would de bruyne slow our play. I've watched him only at least 6 times and wasn't impressed once. One of them against Wales where I thought he was terrible. I just have to trust the club on this one.
 
The party that's has been most quiet in this transaction is City. Nearly everything on this thread has been based around speculation, mainly by the press. City have said very little officially on the matter.
If our boys doing the dealing are happy to keep negotiating - then trust them. If they walk away then it will be for the best interests of the club. These guys are professionals in their field (unlike Ed Woodenhead).
So discuss the merits of the transfer, but don't get irate. We are in a great position whatever the outcome.
De Bruyne, it seems to me, is just trying to be as professional and as dignified as possible.

After watching Chelsea before the game on Sunday I can't help but think we missed out with pedro at £21 mill!

Sorry mate, but I say bollocks to that comment. Shows a massive amount of integrity & professionalism in my opinion, which is exactly the mentality we should be looking for in players.

How would you feel if Real or Barca came in for Serge, he was happy to go or stay & he handed in a transfer request after City had turned down a bid? Woułd you slag off his personality & mentality?

Inversely what would you say about his personality & mentality if he carried on as a true professional & didn't hand in a transfer request to go to either of the 2 most successful teams in Europe?
 
Is this not done yet? If he signs, great. If not, oh well, won't lose sleep. We're in a healthy position right now, Navas is in very good form, which means that this deal isn't a do or die. If anything, it's starting to become less attractive. Perhaps Jose was right when he said that Kevin doesn't have the mentality / spine.

If he's willing to be used as a make weight to Munich & stay another year as part of that deal, having rejected two contract offers from WB, then quite frankly he's extremely spineless and one to stay clear of.
 
If it happens, then it happens. But the fact that Navas is now playing his best football means it will be no great loss if he stays at Wolfsberg. Playing first team football is doing wonders for Navas, and as such I`d be happy to bring Lopes in as the understudy, he`s more than capable. I`d give this deal til sunday and then move on with Lopes.
