Mbappé's wage demands are going to be so large due to his profile. He's had 4 years now of being branded as the next big thing, he's played an important role in a world cup win, he plays for PSG, he's got big links with Nike and Air Jordan through PSG. Basically he's extremely marketable already and he's only going to increase on that front, and with his age that's going to last a loooooong time. So he can demand huge wages.

Right now Haaland's major appeal is solely on the pitch stuff. That may change but he's not in the position to ask for what Mbappé would. He might ask for a big amount but I don't think it'd be beyond anything City would offer.
I can see him playing out his last season then getting a whopping signing on fee & huge wage contract, he can stand to get at least £30m signing on fee & let's say £500.000 a week for 6 years so we are talking £182m deal spread over the legnth, makes total sense to hang on 12 months espeacialy after the last 12 months of covid

Who wouldn't want a piece of him for £31m a year?
 
Very hard to believe any club, let alone City, would sell a promising 23 year old forward in order to keep a 33/34 year old who's been out of action for 90% of the last year.

Absolute best case scenario you sell Jesus in a covid deflated market, Aguero is back up for a year, and then you have to spend £70m+ on someone as good as Jesus in 2022.
Agree, the only way I could see this is if Dortmund won’t negotiate without Jesus in exchange or something like that.

I'd let gabby go. He's NEVER going to start scoring with the regularity we need. I'm putting my neck out saying that but i stand by it in the hope of being proven wrong.
 
I do genuinely feel like this guy is a generational opportunity like Hazard and Mbappe were. It’s not a regular occurrence that someone of such obvious quality becomes available. Whether we’ll sign him when nobhead clubs like United will be offering him £350k a week is another matter.
I don't think he'd go United unless they offered him silly money. Look at Pogba, best he has to show for his time there is a 2nd place finish and the Europa League.
 
Defo hes a good player. Still raw, but would do well under Pep's guidance. Would suit our style better compared to lets say Liverpools. Liverpool players run at high pace/energy. Their front 3, just run like crazy. This guy aint that sort. He will close defence down, but is more big built so obviously slow. And would suit a team/style of patient build up like our style of football under Pep.
You do know you're posting in the Erling Haaland thread? I'm only asking as I can't figure out who it is you're describing.
 
If we get him be the first time we go for someone who all the big clubs desperately want! It’s time for city get it done even if you have to pay of fathers and agents with big money

We tried and failed to go after Mbappe, Felix, De Ligt and Frenkie De Jong

I can't see him staying at Dortmund without Champs League football next season, especially with his current record in the competition. I really don't think it's all about the money for him, I feel the "project" and what is on offer counts just as much.

I can also seeing Dortmund wanting to cash in the year, they could get far more than his sign on fee, and who knows what the transfer market will be like in 2022.
 
id have Jesus on the wing, i reckon he'd be better suited as his overall play (apart from scoring regularly/defending near the box) is very good.

Happy to have Haaland, but don't see it happening
One thing you'd get in abundance with gabby on the wing is decent tracking back...we all remember him vs madrid. He looked superb.
 
I don’t trust Txiki usually, but at this point we have no other alternative but to trust him to make the right offer(s)
 
Is there anything concrete linking us to him (Mullock etc) or is it just because Aguero is winding down?

yeh sorry about that, i was referring to Erling playing style. My point was, he suits Pep style of play more so than Liverpools. Our style more patient, pass etc. And wouldn't suit liverpool's direct kick and rush style. Thats all.
 
There has to be something going on imo...the whole aguero not getting minutes for so long since coming back from injury has a deeper meaning to it. It must have.

You wonder what aguero going means for messi though.
