Erling Haaland

[Phil1]

I don't doubt he will improve, he certainly should under the tutelage of the worlds finest coach. He has some excellent footballing traits but I don't think he is good enough to be in our front 3. I don't mean to be disingenuous with that comment, I don't think he has enough pace, strong enough finishing or his clinical goal scoring ability is strong enough. His decision making will improve and a future Gundogam replacement certainly a possibility, but again I'm not sure he is good enough for number one choice for our starting front 3 again.
I personally don't think we would have been so desperate to sign him if he wasn't English, which is a big plus point with the perceived imminent departure of Sterling.

I did answer the question, all the money comes from the same pot and like it or not we are constrained by FFP. I'd hate to see us lose out on Haaland because we have overspent on other areas.

We had a 60m net spend in the summer - hardly going to bankrupt us.

We did, but if we're buying Haaland, a Mendy replacement, Fernandinho replacement (Lavia not yet ready?) and possibly a Sterling replacement if we don't fully trust promoting Palmer or Mcatee for that position there's plenty money going out there! I'm not looking for an argument, but the truth is a fact!

Ok.

I wasn't trying to be wide btw.

Doubt we will replace Mendy, we will get a decent fee for Sterling and I’d be surprised if we replaced him like for like. Fernandinho has been a bit part player for a while so we will cope I reckon.
If Haaland says he wants to come the money will be available. I’m not worried that signing Grealish is going to affect our future budget as much as you and others seem to think.
We might not even be in for him so could all be moot.

How long has Sterling got on his contract, reeks of him running it down and off to Barca on a free

It's already been discussed that we will replace Mendy by buying a full back, he'll be in prison and won't play for City again!

We only but a left back once every 10 years so that won't happen. And fern is already a back up.

Sterling and bernado are the ones but if either or both go we will get big money in and Haaland then is more likely.
