I don't disagree. I was simply pointing out that ALL big clubs pay a premium. Us included.

But not all clubs will pay the agent a big fee on top to get a transfer done especially if its 2 agents effectively. And by employing an agent asking for a big fee he is limiting his choices .Which was the original point and a very simple one you are over complicating and missing.I don't disagree.

Perhaps. But I'm going to guess being a fringe player made him look elsewhere. Especially, when Bayern was filling his head with visions of making him their marque player. Hence the money they gave him.Sane mostly left cos they offered double the money. Hes on €20m a season there. Same what KDB earns here.
He is role player at Bayern too and heavily criticised.
If you read @FantasyIreland post a few above ours, it succinctly makes my point.But not all clubs will pay the agent a big fee on top to get a transfer done especially if its 2 agents effectively. And by employing an agent asking for a big fee he is limiting his choices .Which was the original point and a very simple one you are over complicating and missing.

For me Kane is the best option for us right now. And ideally Haaland going to Madrid for 4 years and then pssibly ending his career at City, if Delap hasn't developed into a great StrikerI reckon he wants to play in the premier and in Spain so who ever gets him in the premier league he be of in 4/5 years that will suit the rags and the glazers fine!

I believe this is the plan too. Obviously he'll want to win the Premier League but if he does end up at the rags he'll still have personal targets to go for. Records like most goals in a season and goals per minute ratio will be plenty of motivation for him.

I think our travails in the Champions League mean we haven’t yet ‘completed football’ and so we can’t really be considered the finished article quite yet. I imagine the prospect of making history and becoming an all time club legend by being part of our first CL winning side will still be an attraction for some.Silverware is great. But for most top players they want Silverware in which they are a key contributor. Not just a role guy. It's why Same left and Laporte and Berny are now considering it.
How much a team offers you compared to similarly rated teams is often a rough barometer of how much they rate you. Some do some players more than others.
Besides, lots of real competitors will rather join a slightly lesser team to help take down the Giant rather than join a team that is already winning without them and may only need them as support as opposed to being key.
There are many factors at play, and not all of them line up with the wishes of fans.
But just for the record, the best footballing choice is almost never to go join the biggest baddest boys. Sometimes, you want to be a part of the takedown of the Giants (or die trying). Or even better, be a part of building a new champion...
Funny enough, that used to be our attraction. Come join the future. We are now the Present. Which Paradoxically makes someone else the future builder.
Isn't he the only option if you take Haaland out of the equation?For me Kane is the best option for us right now. And ideally Haaland going to Madrid for 4 years and then pssibly ending his career at City, if Delap hasn't developed into a great Striker
