I don't think City would, you never know with any player but I think City are quite right to have concerns over the motivation of Haaland and his dad and agent. He could down tools after 2/3 seasons and want out, that won't sit right with Khaldoon etc.I can live with that if he plays at a world class level for five years.
Every signing involves tapping up.he was tapped up matey simple
they knew city had no other choice because a unhappy player is worthless to the manager
the agent knows every bit of the deal he was on at manchester city and is it water tight with a buyout clause
the buyout clause is protection to the club and greedy agents wanting more money
they get players to play the home sick card or they don't like the manchester weather ?
He wouldn't be playing at a world class level if he downed tools though would he?I don't think City would, you never know with any player but I think City are quite right to have concerns over the motivation of Haaland and his dad and agent.

So he has two fantastic seasons winning us a couple of prems and a CL trophy. Then Perez is on the phone to Raiola and Haaland thinks ive completed the premier league, i fancy it.He wouldn't be playing at a world class level if he downed tools though would he?
That is possible. I was theorizing on the idea he would play five years and leave on a free transfer. If he were to do that, he would likely try to keep his stock high by playing well.I don't think City would, you never know with any player but I think City are quite right to have concerns over the motivation of Haaland and his dad and agent.

From Norway… I bet he’s chosen us!
Doesn’t sound like he’s chosen anyone. As for the reference to ‘Team’ Haaland - it sums up modern day transfers. Bit tiring this now.
You said you didn't think City would be happy with him playing at a world class level for 5 seasons. I simply pointed out if he does what you suggest, he wouldn't be playing at a world class level for 5 seasons. he'd only be doing it for 2-3So he has two fantastic seasons winning us a couple of prems and a CL trophy.

City aren't ones for getting involved in drawn out sagas and nonsense.
And frankly if he's here two years and in those two years we win both league titles and a Champions League title? Sure, I'm okay with that. If he wants to go conquer Spain, we set a price and tell Real Madrid (and Barca, I suppose) and wish him well.You said you didn't think City would be happy with him playing at a world class level for 5 seasons.

I'm constantly surprised by how many people still don't know this, but this is how pretty much every transfer works and has been for a long time. Contact with the player/agent is almost always made before contact with the club, to gauge interest, and players almost always agree on personal terms long before the two clubs have agreed a fee. City do the exact same thing as do all professional clubs. If that's 'tapping up', everyone is guilty.

Barca: "We'd like to buy your player"
City: "He's got a billion pound buy out"
Barca: "We can't afford that but we could afford £50m?"
City: "Well, we don't want unhappy players here so, ok"
I got a quote not for this? what was the post?What was this?
I meant, City wouldn't be happy with him playing 5 seasons then just fucking off on a free.You said you didn't think City would be happy with him playing at a world class level for 5 seasons. I simply pointed out if he does what you suggest, he wouldn't be playing at a world class level for 5 seasons. he'd only be doing it for 2-3
If they player is tapped up and wants to leave. They have to bench an asset and pay him for nothing or deal the best move they can get before he walks for free. RC Value makes no difference anymore just a legal requirement. Its might as well be a prince or infinity symbol, hence they have gone with a billion.but the buyout clause would scare them off that's why barcelona have it
think if its was the other way round and torres not happy at barcelona and city offered £50million you think we get the player ??
like i said agents know what in there players contract and can work around a contract without a clause
but have players on water tight deals then its impossible. just like messi was a free agent because he had a word of mouth deal to leave for free ? but barcelona laugh at him and city and wanted £500milion
Barca have a buy out because it's a legal requirement in Spain. They got burned by PSG/Neymar so now have ridiculously large buyout's that effectively make them redundant. If we wanted one of their players we'd either agree a price, or we wouldn't and they'd be stuck with an unhappy player. Would you be happy for a player to be stinking the place out at City?but the buyout clause would scare them off that's why barcelona have it

That's potentially the same situation with every player we have on our books though?I meant, City wouldn't be happy with him playing 5 seasons then just fucking off on a free.
