If they don't sell until next summer, they'll lose a container load of money. No idea what their books look like; are they a fairly well run club?
Those agent fees include contract renewals plus a number of player we signed and loaned. So the fees would not actually be close to 10 m per player.I think its you who need to do the math.
We paid £30m in agents and signed Aké, Torres and Dias during that period. None of them are particularly high profile.
£10m per player. €40m for Haaland sounds about right.
Surely Mino Fatiola won't be allowed inside Etihad offices and it will only be Alf if that news is true. I don't believe we will talk to him just yet unless we are sure of player interested in joining
Im guessing we’ll meet them at our Euston Road offices.
What stance? We pay top dollar to agents, we will pay what we have to because sadly football is a cut throat business and one club taking a stand just means they lose out. Until regulation comes in, leaches will continue to siphon money out of the game.€40M in commission!
Can't see City paying that, considering our stance with agent fees.
Even though we need striker, we should not be desperate in any way. We are about to win the PL at a canter without one.
It’s confusing because the same poster said later on that the number seemed about rightWhat stance?

Was there not some regulation being put in place regarding the amount that could be paid to agents?
That’s a good reply mate. I can’t argue with you about replacing Aguerro. However I feel you get my general point.
David Silva and Leroy Sane no longer being on the books must have put a dint in it.Freeing up £350k from Serg sorts the wages out.
City now have to find the transfer fee, agent, father, family cleaner, and hanger-on fees.
I hope that’s how it goesTalking on twitter to some Catalan journalists who actually know what they’re talking about and I’m hearing Txiki has a VERY good relationship with Raiola, something I had heard, but wasn’t aware that it was ran so deep. They seem to think Mbappe goes to Madrid and Haaland comes to City
He writes like that Barca fan who plagued the forum last season.....As I said the other day, he hasn’t quite worked out yet how to get along with people on bluemoon, lol.
I’m kinda where you are on this. If he’s just letting his agent whip up interest even though he has a good idea where he wants to go...that’s cool. My concern is it looks like he’s being whored around by fat boy and is for sale to the highest bidder.....and we always rule ourselves out of these ‘pissing contests’If it’s a pr stunt, why would the haaland camp get involved, if he only wants city, why get involved, why go to Barca then Real Madrid, no way on this earth they pitch up at ringway for another stunt. They clearly haven’t decided yet and if the past is to go on when city want some a1 class player we end up with second choice every time.
