Some of these numbers may not be accurate but if a club goes for a player with a release clause they tend to pay a big chunk of money to agents. Raiola made some 40 odd millions for the transfers of Pogba and Haaland alone.
If we are serious about this transfer and its pretty obvious we should be , we need to overpay for this guy summer 2021.
Yes I did use the word overpay because the summer after that when the release clause kicks in, there would be multiple teams fighting for his signature and he would probably go to the club who can pay Raiola the most.
We don't do any of that.
We don't get in bidding wars with exorbitant wages for players or paying ridiculous amounts to agents.
Because there would be a club/clubs in the summer of 2022 who would agree to pay some 350k wage to Haaland some 35 mil to Raiola if they get him on a cheap release clause of 60 million.
I can bet my 100 dollars it won't be us.
Let's get this done this summer itself. Imagine Messi and Haaland playing for us. Man that's gonna cure Covid!

If that agent comes with the package we should say no, let some other club deal with his shenanigans.

I had my stomach full after the Yaya affair.

I wouldn't mind take couple of bad statements and many more from the agent if his player will have the same impact on the pitch as Yaya.


Yaya contribution to the team outweigh any press talks/statements.

I don't want the circus bud, nobody would dispute that Yaya was a great player for us, but both him and his agent were arseholes.

I just cant get past the fact that Railoa has called Pep a coward, a dog etc in the past and then the club hierachy will do business with him...

Maybe relations have improved, and maybe Pep is bigger than this as well and will want him regardless (which I suspect he would be even though he is a very proud man with strong principles).

the other stumbling block for me is that we never get this type of player in terms of competing with other clubs...we dont get drawn into bidding wars (and there will likely be a few teams after him) - and when we have got competition for players we have in the past refused to compete (Sanhez, Pogba, McGuire, Firmino - all who were interested and linked heavily but went elsewhere - and I know for 3 of those it aint worked out but it doesnt mean it wouldnt have worked out if they had come here)

Think it's worse when our own fans call Pep that instead off a fat c.nt like him..

Yaya’s agent comments and his musings were towards the end of his career and prior to that he was exemplary. Sometime some people just remember the bad bits. Yaya was colossus. Without Yaya (and Silva) City would not have achieved what we have.

Inaccurate, him & his agent were bad throughout and simply got louder in each successive season

As a player, he had his moments that mitigated the headache they could be but on balance? There's a reason why Pep was happy to sell him in 2010 due to his demands in terms of wages, minutes & effort in defense

Most top players are arseholes, most footballers are areholes but as long as they perform on the pitch who cares.

Yaya was magnificent for us, a match winner on the biggest occasions, a wonderful sight in full flow.

He was an absolute colossus for us.

Makes me sad that it seems there will be statues outside the Etihad for Vinny, Kun and David but not Yaya. He was every bit as important to our history but unfortunately attracted too much controversy that soured the relationship with both club and fans.

I would have thought if a player was to have a lasting statue made for them at any club, then both on and off field contributions are considered.

You have answered yourself why it is unlikely we won't be seeing a bronze of Yaya, rightly so imo

No question to answer. Simply stated it's sad he won't have a statue and addressed why but thanks again for your input

Couldn't agree more the time is this summer so many of our rivals for him struggling badly financially this summer we could get a free run at him just hope we dont throw all our eggs in the messi basket.
 
Signing Haaland will be as big a mistake as united signing Lukaku

not suited to our style of play

we need someone who can operate in the small spaces

unless we have a radical change in style or Pep leaves he won’t be signing for us

plus his agent called Pep a dog after his time with big nose
