Erling Haaland signs 9.5 year new contract!

Damn, hopefully he don't fall off a cliff like Rooney in his late 20s
You must be hurting. You don't have a Sunday league standard CF, nevermind a world class CF, so your hurt can be forgiven on a City board.

But for what it's worth, Rooney is an outlier in terms of a professional athlete losing condition in their late 20s. Haaland looks after himself, and could prolong his career like an Ibra.
 
So just doing my sums... Half a million a week for 9.5 years is round about 250m (that's without add-ons and bonuses, obvs). It's a staggering amount of money, but in the context of how much one might pay in transfer fees to replace him (not to mention the replacements' salaries), it feels like an absolute steal.
 
They never learn. Nearly every media outlet when he signed said he'd be at Madrid in 2/3 years, he had a release clause and would be off, this was just a short term temporary move. They said the same about Aguero, Silva and De bruyne as well.

The media are stuck in the late 90's early 2000's and we have a generation of media fanboys still yearning for when united, arsenal and liverpool were dominating. It hurts them badly and makes it all the more sweeter.
Right from the takeover " takes more than money to be successful" , "you can't buy class" , numerous players as you mentioned were off to Madrid ect , " mourinho has the edge over Pep due to his vast prem experience".........."fucking cheats"......they have nothing else, they can't do it on the pitch so they resorted to their media chums tarnishing our records and achievements ....."Jealousy is such an ugly trait" as my dear old nan used to say
