Brilliant player but if he walks in on 500k a week, I'm worried it will ruin the team dynamics. Doesn't look good when a player walks in on double the wage of some who have grafted at City for years. Never struck me as a Pep type player either.

I always see something like this regarding money and it absolutely boggles my mind every time. Who cares. We're talking about grown adults who are millionaires. Do you really think they care that someone might rake in an extra million or 2 than them over the span of a year? And if they would care I'd seriously question their mental makeup.

Here's how I look at it. City create a fuck load of chances but finishing can be lacking. Bringing in a striker who has the killer instinct in front of goal that can finish some of those chances would be huge. It means scoring more goals which usually means more wins. Which in turn means if you're winning usually when time comes players will get rewarded with better contracts thus earning them more money making the original point of another player making a little bit more money in the beginning irrelevant.

On top of that we're talking about a world class level striker. Yeah he's going to be a top earner at the club. That's how every sport works. The QB's in the NFL are 9 times out of 10 the top paid players at every team, why? Because that is the one position that controls the whole game. You have a good one? You bet you're going to be paying over the top for them because you know without them you're fucked.

Reverse the question, would Madrid agree to sign him for three years?

Those who counter that is because he simply wants to play for Real Madrid, need to also ask why Madrid can't then just offer him a ten year deal and have done with it, making the overall cost peanuts as a result?

Likkle City Syndrome: "LCS", Insecurity disguised as realism, a condition common amongst City supporters who suffer a niggling imposter syndrome and who harbour doubts about the club's domestic and international stature. Caused by decades of underachievement, an enforced rivalry with a successful club, media bias and a drip feed of baseless insults from jealous supporters of other clubs.
