Pedro snubs United for Chelsea

Rumours are he's in London having a medical after United dicked around over the transfer fee.

Really can't believe United were only trying to offer £17.1m when he had a buy-out clause of only £22m. Let's hope we get KDB now, as Pedro would have been perfect for us.

Forget it, KDB ain't coming!

what do you know leo that we don't????

I think he will Leo. The agent wouldn't have reacted like he did if he knew he didn't want to come.

Thought this was funny:

I think he will sign also probably the final minute of the transfer window though just to keep us in suspense.

Bollocks!  The person who makes the final choice is the player, not the agent.  KdB has said he's staying and his agent is angry because it means he'll miss a nice little earner for himself.  Let's not forget, football agents are rarely in this for the good of their client and I would say, from his reaction, this agent is no different.

He's not coming.

titty lip Leo?

I'll try pictures for you:

That's how to do business. Pay the asking price and move on.

It still makes no sense, Bluey.  Try using a term that people have heard of!

KDB only said he was staying after being told to repeat a comperes words at an awards night Hardly convincing leo. The only thing he has stated is that he won't ask Wolfsburg for a transfer out of respect for the club. Wolfsburg in turn are making those noises which tells me he will be gone. You know the ones he is 99.9% ertain he is staying. We will only sell for a big fee started at 35 million latest report is 56 million. Last week it was 40 million + president says no club has approached them , coach said of Real , Barca & munich interest as well as City. Too many contradictions.

Great the Rags have missed out on Pedro. Hopefully another target of theirs, Otamendi will sign for us today just to add salt to the wound

And you think his agent wouldn't have been made aware of that? Of course he's going to be told to say that, this is what the fans want to hear, dammit! But that's not to say he doesn't mean it.

And Wolfsburg have said he needs to request a transfer before they'll let him go. Bit of a catch 22 there.

That doesn't necessarily mean they're lying. They could be telling the truth.

Interest isn't the same thing as an approach, Oz.

Sorry to dissect your post so much, but there is absolutely no content in there which suggests anything other than what I have already said. Now, I may be proven wrong in the course of the next two weeks, but I very much doubt it.

What???? Seriously? You've never heard of the phrase 'titty lip'?

And we'll get all their comments of, "Oh, you only sign players that we want."  Because they really wanted Hart, Kompany, Mangala, Demichelis, Zabaleta, Kolarov, Clichy, Sagna, Yaya, Fernando, Fernandinho, Delph, Silva, Sterling, Nasri, Navas, Aguero and Bony, didn't they?

Not to mention the fact we're only getting him because Valencia owe us money!

What, you mean that's actually a thing??  I've never even heard of it before!  I'd best go look it up...



Just looked it up. Cheeky twat!

Jesus, go and have a lie down. Sounds like you're becoming delusional Leo.

TBF, I'm not arsed if he does or doesn't come. I was more interested in us getting Sterling than KDB.

I like KDB and Pedro, but still think Pedro would have been a better signing anyway.

So I'm delusional because I have a different opinion to you? Sounds like you need to address your comment to the mirror, mate.

Calm the fuck down fella. No-one's having a dig, only you.

Mother and Sister-in-law not turn up today?

Now, hold on a tick... I said right at the top, forget KdB, he isn't coming. And I've been called out on it repeatedly. What do you want me to say?

"Oh, so you say he is? Fair enough, he is then."

I'll hold my hands up if he does sign, but I'm sticking to my opinion. Just like you do.

Mate, I'm not sure 'anybody' on here is calling you out, having a dig or saying you're wrong.

Just seems your replies back to Oz were a little 'on the offensive'. Now, replies are always subjective as we have no emotion behind them, but like you said, everyone's entitled to their opinions and I'm sure no-one was getting upset or angry by any of your thoughts...just you.

Maybe you'll be right and all along, KDB will dick us about. Like I said, as it stands, I'm not arsed either way. He may end up being brilliant for us, for as it stands, I'll lose no sleep over it one way or the other.

Just re-read the thread. I'm not sure anyone was having a go mate.

You and Oz both questioned my opinion and I gave my reasons for it.

You called me a titty lip for making a valid point, which doesn't strike me as being especially productive. And then you called me delusional!

Sorry, maybe we're seeing different sides of this, but I'm clearly the one with the unpopular opinion, so I'll just shut up.

"Leo, Leo, Leo"....mate, come on. Titty lip was just a light-hearted quip, as you seemed to be using lot's of !!!!!! and "bollocks" to Oz's reply. I wouldn't mind, he only said "I think he'll still come".

I get the shit ripped out of me on here all the time, for my forthright opinions. I try to not take it personally (most of the time). But I don't begrudge anyone having a different opinion. 

Life could be worse...or better, but depending on how you look at it.

I hope de Bruyn signs or I'll have a titty lip

Thanks PPLF. 

i have never heard the term titty lip either, i guess its another name for a petted lip though 
I dont think KDB is going to sign for us in this window either it's dragged on too long now, we should have made offers for Isco, Stone and Pedro in my opinion.

i still think fuck the rest of it, just get Pogba...

Jesus H Christ On A Bike! And I thought I was an argumentative sod!
What the hell has gone on here? I leave you all alone for 5 minutes and all hell breaks loose!
I love it!

A pint says KDB will sign in this window.

i'll bet you a million quid he doesn't

jesus I have just read your thread leo dissecting my post like an over eager surgeon.

All I asked was  what did you know that we didn't? as your reference to he won't sign seemed pretty certain   it was tongue in cheek I might add.

The second post was the quotes from a report on the bbc. The agent was quoted as saying he was livid that "he" de bruyne was duped into saying he was staying at Wolfsburg. Now had the agent known this in advance I really do not think he would have splashed this statement out into the press.

The piece on Wolfsburg saying they were 99% certain of him staying is typical before the transfer goes through. ala Rogers with Sterling b4 of the insistence by sterling he was leaving.

One quote I saw last week was their had been no interest or any communication with any club regarding de bruyne from the manager yet the chairman says different, Now City have actually approached Wolfsburg & are discussing the transfer makes me optimistic the transfer will happen.  That is my opinion my summing up of the situation is different to yours Leo but I am not calling you just because you have a different perspective of the situation to me..


Still keyboard friends

Time of the month.

So, is he signing or not???????

thanks for putting that in perspective. Blue now I understand  erm?

if that's aimed at me Den? I believe he will be a City player by the time the window closes.   "My opinion only"

Oh, for god's sake...

 This thread is cracking me up, like a bunch of middle aged women with PMT!

OK, maybe we should call this thread quits. I think many and I include me in this, are reading too much into posts/replies.

My replies were tongue in cheek, but maybe the timing wasn't the best.

Oz made a genuine point, Leo disagreed, but used plenty of !!! in his replies, which is why I replied to them.

I don't think anyone is falling out, but for the sake of harmony, should we just delete the thread?

I've been thinking about at least locking this thread all morning, but I guess it could be deleted.

Note to self, use less exclamation marks.

ok with me !!!!!!!!!!!!

do middle aged women get pmt or has the change taken place ? is middle age 40 0r 50 ? things I still cannot get a definite answer on!!!!

stop it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

done & dusted

Okay, I'm locking this thread very soon, so get it all out of your systems while you still can!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good points Oz and indeed worthy of more debate. 

No im out of it now. blue has spoken

But I haven't put my 2 cents worth in yet
