We have to careful because Bayern will be coming in especially with lewandowski wanting out next summer but I have a feeling we will go back for Kane at a reduced fee .

I think it would be worth testing the waters for Haaland in January but unless Dortmund are having a bad season (out of CL and not competing in the league) then I cant see him leaving at that point in time....certainly if Dortmund are competing on all fronts still.
I can see Bayern trying for him but they are the one team that financially we can and would probably out-do.....if the likes of Chelsea, Madrid or the raggs go for him then they will offer whatever it takes.....
Ive seen some people saying it will be Mino that makes the decisions....however i dont think it will be..it will be Haaland and Alfie that make the decisions...Mino will just do as he is told and get paid very well for it....So in the end it will most likely come down to who offers him the best project and the best wages.

Very true buddy, that’s why paying for Haaland now is a mustIn American football there's this pattern that happens every few years where a lot of Quarterbacks need new contracts.
A top QB earns around $35-40m a year and if this is their first big deal or they signed their last one 4 years ago, they could be jumping up from $10-20m a year.
Obviously in a sport with salary caps this is something that can dominate your entire strategy for years and teams often try to delay it as long as possible.
But the thing is, those teams always end up paying the most.
Every QB wants to be the highest paid or break some sort of record in the contract, so if you're the 5th team to renew your QB in a year then you end up paying so much more than the first team.
This is how football wages are moving. Players know how much money is coming into the game and they want their slice. The mirror are reporting today Salah wants 500k/week to stay at Liverpool. Everyone knows what Messi and Ronaldo are on and KDB and Lewandowski and Neymar etc earn. Mbappe is going to move things even further next year.
My point is, paying 500k a week to Haaland now will be painful. But if the club passes on him, they will end up paying 600k to the next one in 2 years time. Or if they buy a cheap kid and he becomes world class, he'll demand even more in 3 years time.
The market sets the value of a world class forward and you cant dodge it forever. Sooner or later you're going to end up paying a world class striker what everyone else decides a world class striker earns.
long term, the later you leave it the more you pay.

With Pep possibly in his last season next year I've got a feeling that we'll end up with Lew with Little Alfie going to Munich.We have to careful because Bayern will be coming in especially with lewandowski wanting out next summer but I have a feeling we will go back for Kane at a reduced fee .
It'll potentially give whoever follows Pep a fresh run at a CF.
Of course, ideally we'll have Pep for another 5/6 years.

If we go back in for a 29 year old Kane I hope City have tied Pep down to a contract extension. From what we heard over the summer Kane seemed to be a Pep obsession rather than a City obsession so I would hope we wouldn't buy him just for Peps last year.We have to careful because Bayern will be coming in especially with lewandowski wanting out next summer but I have a feeling we will go back for Kane at a reduced fee .

That sounds entirely counter to the fact that the teams who have been quicker to cough up the big wages have the biggest wage bill.
According to your theory, Barca, RM, PSG, Utd, Chelsea and us, who are the kind of teams that are willing to pay big, should have the lowest wage bills . . but that ain’t true.
So, even if it does work as you say under a salary cap model that we don’t have, for a different sport, with different rules, in a different country, it doesn’t apply to our football.

I'm pretty sure dom wasn't providing a theory on how the best teams with the best players can end up with lower wage bills than inferior teams with inferior players.

Exactly it’s like buying a house.. same as when people who don’t see value in the market and hope / wait for a correction or a crash. They end up missing out as the prices continue to escalate especially when you have the Tories in power stimulating the market.
The prices just aren’t going to be what you want to pay for a house but if you want a house you need to pay it or pay more later and probably for an inferior property.
Elite professional footballers work along the same lines.. what one year seems bonkers with claims it has reached a peak, will usually be seen as great value 12/18 months down the line.
Yes but when you bring in a new guy and give him higher than everyone else including KDB then you are unsettling the wage structure and the players. The board worked very hard on the wage structure that includes bonuses rather than higher salaries compared to other teams in the league and in EuropeIf this was the case, everyone would be jealous of everyone else all the time. It just doesn’t work that way.
Dias wins everything last season at $80K, just signed a new deal for $160K (so media says).
Why not $250K???
If he sorted out our defence and won awards for doing it, why would he settle for $160K with other making far more???
I believe this is also one of the reasons why Ronaldo was never going to join us!

You are not unsettling a wage structure Kdb is on 350 basic dias is on 165 did it unsettling Dias that much that he was happy to sign a new improve contract? Why isn’t he asking for say 200? 250?
Unsettling utter Myth made by fans and the media!
