Where do you people get his wage demands from.
Pure speculation and I very much doubt he will be earning one penny more than our top wage earner.

He wants £600000 a week fact, it was in the Guardian the other week.

No question around Haaland's quality or that he'd improve the squad, but anyone else not a get good vibe from this whole transfer saga?

Don't like the fact we'd break our wage structure to land him. Don't think he should be on more than KDB for example. Could cause harmony issues in the squad and seems like Madrid is his preferred destination anyway. Our best players in the modern era — KDB, David Silva, Aguero, Kompany etc — have spent the majority of their career at the top with us. Whereas, even if he did join it looks like it would be for 3 seasons and then seek a move to Madrid/Barcelona.

I'd rather we find another top young forward who a) doesn't have Raiola as an agent, and b) doesn't have a massive ego asking for 500k+/week.

Please stop the nonsense...and I'll repeat something I've had to tell a few others on here...Thank God you are not in any way involved with City's decision making...

We get worked up because players will get worked up about it. What does it say to KDB, Bernardo Silva etc — who are world-class and been top players for us for years in the peaks of the career — when Haaland rocks up on way more than them when he's won none of the same things they have

They don’t at all. If anything they will be looking forward to negotiating their next contract.

some people on here make me laugh, thinking they know how to run a proven successful football clubs wage structure!

Either you don't understand the nature of professional sports or you're just looking for some kind of irrelevant issue to moan about...

Fake Tweet.

Well spotted.
If only I was on twitter I'd realise no blue tick.

But the gist of the tweet was that people start firing these kind of tweets off when a deal is 99.9% done which hopefully is where we are with Haaland.
