Not really. If you don’t watch us and want to be a part of it then it says more about the player: they may get offered more money elsewhere or sold a “project” but if your motivation is purely football then it’s the easiest decision ever
That's slightly arrogant if we think like that...we aren't above other teams in the way we play.....the likes of Barca, Madrid, Munich etc still play attractive football even if they haven't been as successful as us recently. Other teams still have just as much to offer...the one point we are clearly better than everyone else is how we are run behind the scenes.....but how much dies that matter to players?
 
I'd love Pep to work his magic what with his City connection, but Kane (as much as I hate to say it) is a better fit/option, but just not for 160 million.

Right in the middle is the guy from Florentina.


I doubt we'll get any one in before the summer.
100% agree. I believe Kane’s game will age just fine because he’s got such a good feel for the game. His goals in the league have been way down this year obviously but he’s still putting out good performances. They’re looking better under Conte so I think it’s likely he stays, but who knows.
 
Still don’t think we have the nuts to complete a deal for haaland unfortunately as it’s well known we tend to go for players who only want us? Haaland and his team will have the choice of all the top clubs and the wages and commissions on offer from others will no doubt by higher than our biggest offer?! I do think the Haaland camp think about the money as much if not more than the sporting project. Hope I’m wrong though and we’ve timed our run at him properly.
Lol
 
We are pretty much the perfect football team. As great a player as Haaland is, he might just not be right for us. I'm torn, as I don't want anyone else to have him, but thinking logically Im starting to belive he wouldn't be a fit here.

I think he'll be fine, one area of his game we can work on. His pass completion is usually around the 75-80% mark, his hold up play is actually decent.
 
The only available striker we thought made the team better was Kane at a certain price , as we didn’t get Kane the best alternative was what we had. We could wait until the 11th hour because their was no alternative we thought made us better.
I don’t know who we will target next, I don’t know whether the alternative to whoever we target will be another player that is available or stick with what we have. I suspect it will be another player.
I do know we have the best people making the decision so don’t stress about it.
Matey I'm not stressing
 
I don't like Klopp. He really strikes me as a horrible person who thinks he is fooling everyone into thinking he is funny and decent. He isn't codding us all though.

I don't mind Tuchel or Conte. They don't seem deceptive and what you see seems fair if a bit fiery.

I very much like Pep. He is very honest and very decent. He doesn't have the same charisma as Keegan or Mancini. But I respect him and admire him like no one else. And I think he is very nice guy.

Who is a better manager is just as subjective. They are all in different situations. Best for us though surely could be no one but Pep. How he has improved players is amazing and the execution of the style of play is almost faultless. I dread the day he leaves.
No charisma.

it seeps out of every paw.

when you watch city miss chances that any good striker would take in his sleep you get the feeling haaland would complete the project ? like i said any good striker would score in this team but a world class striker like haaland would scare the shit out of the others as well
Another problem for the opposition to worry about. They can’t double up on everyone. Him and city are a matched made in heaven. It would be criminal if he didn’t join this team

spot on

i think city have the best players in many of the roles in the team and add the best in haaland as striker
the city game's would be easy to watch and not pulling my hair out at another miss chance ? the game yesterday was a joke and watford could have got back in the game if josh king scores with 10 minutes to play

I just hope the board feel exactly the same and don’t try to penny pinch. Haaland would see us absolutely smash everyone, considering how good we already are.

This isn't about our board. Every top club wants Haaland. There is no decision for City to make here, it's on Haaland. His representatives will talk with everyone and he'll choose.

its 1000% all about our board and pep.. there is 2 clubs with the money and the setup manchester city and PSG
PSG may feel is they lose mbappe then haaland would be a ideal replacement

then there is manchester city a team that is missing a striker and knowing we are the best setup to win titles and champions league in europe. you forget the the agent representatives all you do is say yes i want some of that..
haaland face in last season champions league game vs city says it all for me

its got to happen
like i said before the look on the face of haaland last season when he walked out the tunnel in the champions league speaks volumes.. its not only manchester city and pep and the players we have but you can add medals and money what more do you want

its where do i sign for me

You can't use his 'face' to suggest he'll pick us. We may be well set up but every team has its unique pull. Madrid, Barca, Bayern, United, PSG even potentially Chelsea will be in the hat for him. If Haaland wants to join us above every other club he'll be ours. No club, its manager or hierarchy are oblivious to Haaland's talent and ceiling. Pep's words have already confirmed how highly he rates him.
