“They” all said we made a big mistake paying £100M for Grealish rather than stumping up even more for Kane. Imagine if we won the League with Kane and we’d paid £120M?
What would the internet/pundits be saying then?
Instead, we paid £100M for a relatively raw talent (who is now an England regular) to play on the left, and play with rotating & roving CF/False 9, and might STILL win the League!
“Grealish is a big waste of money!” is the new “we have to find a problem with City” meme!
Fast forward to today, and that CF didn’t buy, because we played the long game for the one we actually wanted, looks like it will happen, and the entire football world has a hissy fit!
“City are no Real Madrid or Barca, so they are just buying the player off, as usual!”
You can smell the piss boiling all the way over here!
Football journalism and punditry is so full of sad, agenda-filled commentary and opinion, it is laughable!
We have been after Haaland for literally years, and have played nice with everyone along the way. IF we finally get him, it will be on the merits of the club, the project, the team, the manager and the treatment he has received during the process. At his income level, there’s more to these deals than just the money, and the money is always enough (no matter the team) IF the rest falls into place.
Fingers crossed it’s true and, if so, that he stays fit and healthy for his time at City.
