9 | Erling Haaland - 2022/23 Performances

Sure I said £100m. You thinking I’m a clown isn’t the cutting insult you think it is.

Thinking of you as a clown wasn't an insult, just an observation.

In his defence it was said in a documentary released a few weeks ago and it was said around February/march time. And it's just being wrote in British press probably because it's derby week and they need some form of negativity to write.

He still has a long history of publicly acting like he's got Haaland's career mapped out for him, which is unhelpful at best and disrespectful to both the club and player at worst. It's arguably out of character for City, who publicly say 'we only want players who really want to be here' all the time, to sign a guy who wants out in two or three years.

Gutted about the 2&1/2 year thing.

Right before the derby, we always get bad news.

Cheers Alfie.

ffs

It is what it is, at some point the clause will kick in and Real will not think twice about paying it.

This will be around the time Haaland is due a renewal.

We are not in a bad situation at that point, we either offer a new contract with the buy out removed or delayed, if this will be acceptable or we take the money.

If he is 100% set on Madrid we have had 3 years and no doubt not done bad, we will have money to buy hopefully the next best.

If he is unsure, then we have to arrange a financial with him, Madrid the same but in whatever deal they also have to account for £180 million on top. Putting us in a better position.

The third option is he loves it here and then again a deal can be done.

There may well be preferred outcome for City but not really a bad one.

Good post.

One thing that you seem to have overlooked...

We won't need to go out looking to buy the 'next best' if Haaland decides to leave...Alvarez will still be with us.

Aguero was linked with a move to the spanish rags every season, he stuck around for a while in the end

I bet the inside of Alfie's cheek is sore from all the tongue action.

Why would Real, or any other club, pay us at least £150m for Halland on the basis that he's only going to stay with them for 2-3 years before moving on to the next club/league?
