The rumours are certainly mounting that he's coming to City.

That said, football journalism is the one area of journalism where you can just make-up whatever you want and claim/imply you have some inside knowledge, without ever having to prove or justify it.
 
Obviously he will make a great addition to our Squad.

I fear his Agent is already setting the Wheels in motion to screw us over though.

Haaland long term future is Madrid/Barcelona.It is well known he has already bought property there.

Meaning it will be just the 3 year contract with us.Then moving on to Spain.The hope being they will have the money then to sign him.

His agent will be setting a release clause that will not be Haaland true market value.So he can fuck us out of the true market value transfer fee due from Madrid/Barcelona.Keep it low, and convert the difference in to another mammoth Agent signing on fee.

That is what his Agent game will be for sure.

If true?? Nobody knows bar those involved in the negotiations.

Let's say it is true.

Better to have Haaland for 3 seasons with a ?£mill buyout clause to sell to Madrid or Barcelona in the future, if he does want to play at either club in the future? He may decide to sign a contract extension at City after 3 years at the club? Better than losing him to Madrid now.

As this season is showing, we are missing a striker, even though we're still winning games. The alternative is back in for Kane for £100mill+ in the Summer.

We also get that on Blue Moon.
 
We’re potentially getting him for less than half of his true market value so losing him at some point down the line for a release clause less than his true market value is something we might just have to swallow
 
Anyone think, Alverez aside, that he'll be our only signing in the summer?

Too much to ask for a defensive midfielder and another midfielder with pace?
 
He also recently bought a big house in Dortmund. Does that mean he plans on being back eventually to play there? Neymar has several houses around the world. This is what players do. Having a house in Spain is not a sign of anything. And people are now talking about three years because of one report out of Spain that is COMPLETELY unreliable that mentions that number of years. It not evidence of anything. How long has Raiola client Pogba been at United?
I didn't know players buy extensive Property Portfolios globally please tell me more on this ?

Haaland has his Heart set on playing in Spain in the near future.Hence why he has bought property there.No idea why this upsets you ?.Of course it isn't evidence,just an indicator, it is well documented, he has told people around him of his career intentions..

If Barcelona/Madrid were not both skint,and could afford to sign Haaland right now, it is highly likely he would be going to Spain at the then end of this season.

As it happens they dont have a Pot to piss in.

Their loss now becomes our gain.

Haaland needs a short term alternative, to activate the paltry below market release clause, not let it expire.

I fully expect he wants to come to us on a short term 3 year contract given his Father connections.Before the lucrative move over to Spain.

No one has said he wont have a change of Heart when he gets here,sign for us,and stay longer.Money and success decides everything ultimately.

It isn't all about Haaland though.As good as a player as he is,any deal has to be good for us as a Club.

We might not be happy with a 3 year contract for one of the hottest property's in the game.It leaves us open to getting screwed over by his agent.We might expect 5 years minimum commitment from the player.

Haaland Agent might see us a stepping Stone.

We as a Club rightly will not view ourselves a stepping Stone.
