Erling Haaland

[Coatigan]

It’s been quoted that Raiola wants £40m and Alfie £20m.

Add that together and what does it make?

Read what I said, again. It is believing that I have the issue with.

Just as I do believing claims of 160m for Kane.

 

[Coatigan]

Because it's not hard to believe that Raiola wants a big payoff and it is hard to believe that City wouldn't pay 160 mill for Kane (I assume you are referring to the Kane money being quoted).

It is the classic 'look how much City will have to pay for this player, how much can we stack on'.

With haaland it was pick the highest fee, highest wage, hmm, still doesnt seem shocking enough, stick on an insane agent fee, getting there but still no shock value, fuck it, a cut for his dad too.

Same with Kane, huge fee, huge wages. If they need to inflate it further they will.

Paper talk I assume ?

If it’s in the media it must be true.
Just like Haaland’s most expensive meal in the world and us paying £160m and £400k a week in wages for Kane.

Could be but going off Raiola's track record more than likely, and given we seem to have dropped any interest like a hot potato, probably true.

 

[Keeper!]

I just don't understand how people can believe claims like that. Particularly when on the other hand dismissing similarly over exaggerated figures for other players.

Because the agent has previous, we don't know the figures he wants, but you can safely assume there will be a figure and a huge figure at that, plus lots of demands about future release clauses etc.

I would love to see Haaland in sky blue, but the baggage is huge and as said yesterday, considering his Dad is an ex pro and seems a very intelligent guy for a footballer, why does he want Riaola working on behalf of the family, that does not sit right with me.

It’s different as the release clause is much lower than clubs are willing to pay.

Therefore multiple clubs will meet the release clause and Harland will go to the club that offers him and his entourage the most money.

If he moves this summer, Raiola and his dad will get less as Dortmund will get that money.

Or the club he wants to play at and thinks has the best chance of winning things, being a regular, progressing etc.. footballing reasons.

Not saying ttat has to be us btw.

That will be part of the decision, but his choice of clubs will be all challenging domestically and in Europe.

If he wants to choose his club for football reasons not financial why pay Raiola to represent him, all that does is make it harder for him to choose his team.
