Erling Haaland

[RandomJ]

Ever since the narrative has shifted towards Haaland picking City I have seen more articles written about the fee and wages and how the game has "gone mad" than ever before.

Didn't see this stuff when players like Hazard, Messi, Bale or Mbappe etc. were getting paid these amounts. But as soon as City decides to throw it's weight around for once it's suddenly time to take a moral stand on player wages and fees.

They can all fuck off.

watched BT-sports the other day and owen hargreaves said all clubs have a cut of day in early march for next season. so all players and manager know what happening well before the transfer windows opens in the summer.

said haaland knows what his next club is and its done and dusted and signed off by both selling club and buying club.

Interesting stuff. I just can’t see BD not announcing it if true. They‘re gobby at the best of times.

Dortmund are pushing Haaland which they probably wouldn’t need to if there was a deadline.

They wanted to know whether he was staying or not and I’m pretty sure that answer they got

What is this about? The World Cup? I don’t see why a cut off day in March would exist when the transfer window is still months away. Is he saying there won’t be movement during the window?

Like i said all the rumored high wages that we have seen so far it's all bullshit and not be trusted.

I believe the reason Haaland joining City is not because wages, sure it will be likely higher but not overblown that media report suggest. Real Madrid can and will able to offer higher that City offer, all of this Real Madrid Media based report is all nonsense that they suddenly can't afford Haaland wages. They still have enough salary cap that can afford both Mbappe and Haaland high wages demand and able to to afford more if Bale, Hazard and Marcelo is released this summer further increasing their salary cap.

Think it’s implying players/clubs plan well ahead and things get sorted several months before the transfer window opens. Of course that is not always the case but I do tend to believe this too.

to me Pep is crucial in this . if extends right now i think we get Harrland, if not then Kane. both would be funny. can you imagine the piss boiling .

Its probabaly due to the financial year projections, the club will want to know where the outlay will be, who is being shifted, what the payoffs and aquisitions will be. Its standard stuff so they can budget accordingly etc

I’m still not sure how that is correct. The transfer window still is the time when most happen

Damn right and we deserve it for all the shit we as fans have/had to endure.

Swimming against the tide, it’s the city way ;)

The moments we saw him and Phil giggling and whispering sweet nothings....he was always coming here

I would hope Alfie is in the City corner and this has a bearing on his decision. Still think it is too early to say it is done, but the signs are promising.

its about players and managers knowing what is going to happen for the new season. its not just about the football side of things is the lifestyles and houses kids and wife or girlfriends all getting sorted and settled and plans in place.

but players/managers like to know what is happening well before the end of the old season.
so plans can take place and players want security and will know who's coming and going and all plans are on the table. its a well know fact that clubs never leave it until the end of the old season because shit can happen and before you know it your unhappy and have to rush a deal or stay and be unhappy.


owen hargreaves was talking about passed experiences and mainly in germany with players/managers and clubs
didn't pep agree to sign for city 6 months before he officially signed. he said haaland and dortmund will know where he will be playing next season and its sort early march ?

Its is yes, but the financial year is Apr-Apr so most have projections and budgts set from March onwards for the next year/three.

also Kane come out and said he had a verbal agreement with levy and spurs did him and man city up like a kipper
i can not see man city doing it again with haaland can you

Thing is Haaland could wake up tomorrow and think I fancy going to Madrid and staying there for the rest of my career.

Until he holds up the city shirt not getting to confident I’ve learnt from past.
