Erling Haaland

Using the money narrative again.

seems a media block on news today after the rush of info the last few days?

Yeah was thinking that. Been pretty quiet so far today.

IMO the substantial news will break over the international period. Seems in step with the “in the next weeks” that’s been pushed.

Would love to see him in blue but this is silly money.

Is it though? I mean when you get past a certain point, what is classed as silly? I’d believed, KDB is on £375k pw. Another £125pw only looks ‘silly’ on paper. Besides, if that’s the going rate for the best prospect in world football, someone will pay it. Might as well be us.

I don't even know whre this 500k has come from, if it's from a non British source it could easily be in euros. So not a lot more than KDB is on.

Silly money? Do you know the figures?

I always think unless you physically see the contract it’s all hearsay, but if that’s what you got to go off what can you do?

Totally agree with this. I think every single player at the club, with the possible exception of Liam Delap, would be delighted to see Haaland come in. Our payers have negotiated their own packages. I don't think Stones was upset when Grealish came in on a higher salary and I don't think KDB would be upset if Haaland came in on a higher salary. The players know how it works. Don't forget a player package includes lots of other elements including signing on bonuses, image rights etc. It is also affected by the transfer fee and contractual situation. Haaland's basic might actually be the same as our top earners. I suspect they wouldn't care much one way or another.

Elite level players want to win trophies. Once they have achieved financial security for their families most of them want to create a legacy by winning things. The City players know Haaland will bring more trophies (if he stays fit). Personally I think he will become the best player in the world under Pep. He reminds me of a young Alan Shearer who I remember tearing City to shreds as a teenager.

in case anyone's keeping score, the "haaland to madrid is already signed for 2 years now" lady on twitter is now saying city are leading the race.



tic tac..

She's full of shit - she has been adamant that Haaland was moving to Madrid for ages and now she's done an about turn? Haha, the fucking chancer

500k all with bonuses no doubt. if he clears a hatrick in a cup final, and keeps a clean sheet in thie 50th game or something.

Flat wage prob same at KDB

Finally looks like we are getting the replacement for Bony that we have been waiting for.
