Madness this, we mean business no messing about.
I said it before Haaland joined that he'd be the most prolific striker on these shores since Jimmy Greaves, also said if he stays long enough then he'd eventually break the goal record set by Greaves.
People said he'd be off after a few years to Real or Barca but players find the prospect of playing here for us long-term too irresistible, they simply can't get enough of playing for Manchester City, from Sergio Aguero to David Silva to Kevin De Bruyne to Rodri or Erling Haaland they all love it here.
There's too many blues who doubt our pull long-term despite players remaining here, they doubt our ability to keep some of the best players in the world away from Real Barca etc.
They need to stop thinking small this should be a clear sign to those who doubt our appeal, we're a massive draw now for any player and it should also be a clear message all the haters that we're here to stay.
This 9.5 year contract seems crazy long but the potential long stay overall doesn't surprise me, people at the club around him need to be in his ear that he can break Jimmy Greaves record if he stays long enough.
If he stays here and stays fit then he can definitely do it and doing this would be huge for his legacy in football, he should be focused on winning things for us and trying to break Greaves goalscoring record along the way there's nothing that could be better for his club career.
