Erling Haaland

[The Goods]

Not getting on any more transfer trains.

Can’t see how cost is prohibitive if the player brings in extra zero’s to the clubs coffers.

I thought the same Pam, but then here I am with a voice in my head shouting “scream if you wanna go faster”. Madness but f5 f5 f5

 

[Lkzerinho]

Including bonuses and he is a senior player , haaland is a kid with a twatty agent

Yes, he is also a kid who is the hottest property on the market, and an agent who has years of experience and tends to get what he wants, sometimes through very unnecessary means.

If we want to have the best players we are going to have to cough the cash up as opposed to haggling over a few million quid

 

[DenisLawBackHeel74]

Would love him at city. Absolute beast.

 

[Leeky]

If we were going after Kane all summer, looks Like Haaland’s not a viable option, and although makes sense going after Haaland with being younger and sell on value achievabl, not only that we don’t do big wages

KDB says hello and can he lend a fiver?

There's KDBs wage then there's the numbers being quoted for Haaland, different planet!!
(NO player is worth €1m a week - the day that happens I'm done with the game, unfortunately seems not too far off)

 

[kaz7]

would you like it to?

yes but giving half a million a week is out of order , for that it wont happen , if he really wanted us he should be more realistic and in line with our structure

All speculation, we have no idea of the true figures, we may be shocked if we did.

 

[Clevers]

We could replace Sergio easy enough

Not sure I would fancy Andy Carroll though

The only way in which Carroll comes any where near Sergio is in injuries.

 

[Thenumber1blue]

Heard it from his mouth. Maybe Madrid won’t reach the right number, but they’ve already made two offers and PSG has already made inquiries for replacements. And even Everton already has the idea for Richarlison replacement

Richarlison in for mbappe sounds ludicrous, I don't think either will happen in this window

I think you could be right

this £800k a week figure being chucked around and all the huge greedy dad cut and agent fee are just ludicrous

no club in the world would pay that for a promising lad who’s never achieved anything in the game

 

[Thenumber1blue]

And mbappe to Madrid out to 7/2, something not right

They will lose him for free next summer anyway. And Richarlison regardless of what you think of him, almost always starts for Brazil

 

[SouthStandStander]

I can't do this again. However... if it does hotten up and starts to look very likely. Like 'imminent' sort of likely, can someone please DM me to come a join the fun. Nice one

 

[Mr. Wednesday]

Haaland is the one I've always hoped for but reading Tolmie's posts there's just no way City are going to get involved. Disappointing. Can live with it as long as he doesn't end up at the rags. Or Liverpool ha.

 

[Superace]

I don’t remember this at all. Thought we had been involved in several meetings.

Yes, Tolm never said that as far as I can remember.

 

[Deleted member 87819]

He clarified later!

Just don't see Madrid paying 200 million euros when they will get him free, that's my point and they can pre arrange from January

Maybe it's because I'm American and am just conditioned this way. But I find the angst of *potentially* paying large amounts of money funny. We're talking about multi-billionaires moving money around to multi-millionaires. Are athletes being paid obscene over the top amounts? Sure but that's a whole separate discussion. At the end of the day it's an entertainment business and the market dictates itself regardless of what's happening in the real world.

I compare football to American sports quiet a lot just because it makes it easier for me to comprehend sometimes. With the £500k a week being talked about there's NBA players who are in their early 20s earning about the same but they aren't nearly as good at basketball as Haaland is at football but no one really complains about the amount they're being paid because it's been accepted that if you want the next best thing or a player with high potential you better be prepared to pay because if not someone else will happily pay the cost needed.

TL:DR not my money. Get the boy in :)
