Anyway, getting back on track...
So this latest briefing by Spurs that they won't sell before the City game should bring Haaland back into play if he's on the board?
I don't see City sitting back until the 3rd week of August to finalise whether we will have a striker this season or not.
They have to call Spurs' bluff and start looking at other options, Levy is exactly the kind of person who would agree a deal in principle and then move the goalposts. IIRC he did exactly that with Walker, agreeing a fee around 40m, then upping it to match the fee £50m we'd agreed for Mendy when that hit the press.
I don't think Txiki and Soriano are dull enough to put an entire season in the balance by trusting Daniel Levy.
