Just suppose Messi signed for us or made it known that is where he was going, what a incentive for Haaland to join as well and play alongside one of the all time greats. The meltdown across Europe would be sensational.

If Messi does intend coming a word either public or in private wouldn't cause any harm in getting Haaland over the line.

A bit against the grain here but the presence of Raiola in this picture, even if Alfie is in the driving seat, is a big signal to me that money is the priority. Maybe not the only one but certainly the top one.

Why would you turn to Mino Raiola to be your agent? Because he has a reputation for being tough and sticking up for his client's interests no matter what, because he has a reputation for drumming up a bidding war like no other. Bottom line = money.

Alfie's career was cut short by injury, the family know more than most that this circus could all end tomorrow.

EBH is talking a good game about wanting to take on Mbappe for ten years to be the top player on the planet. He may well feel that way, but that's what I'd be saying too, if I wanted to inspire FOMO among all the clubs looking at me. Don't think of me like you do Werner or Martinez, think of me like Messi, Ronaldo and Mbappe.

Actions speak louder than words, so I think it's more likely that the highest bidder will win than anything else.

I'm sure we can put a competitive offer on the table but we all know that that lot over the road have shown themselves prepared to near bankrupt themselves just to stop City closing a deal (a fat lot of good it's done them too). Ed Woodward is susceptible to 'shiny new toy syndrome'. Raiola has also made a pretty penny from all his dealings with them.

Be wary of confirmation bias building your hopes up.

There's a balance though. Would he take 100k a week less to be at the the head of one of the most successful teams in the world? Maybe he thinks he could take any club he goes to right to the top. Would Ronaldo have gone to PSG in his prime?

Raiola's great at getting the most money for his clients and starting bidding wars, this is true, but he mainly kicks off when the results or the project isn't matching his clients ambition. Say what you want about Pogba, but when they spent £90mil on him, did he really expect to struggle for top 4? I wouldn't say no just because of Raiola, this kid is special.

It would be an even bigger psychological blow if it reinforces a team that are Champions of England and Europe this summer.

The spittle of 'It's not fair", "City are ruining football", "City paying £10m a week to two players", that's what I want.

I want heads on spikes. They tried to end our entire club last summer.

Now we must end them.

I wish that was a direct quote from Sheikh Mansour!
 
Sky Sports were at it yesterday.

There is clearly an orchestrated agenda to get the Rag cunts in the driving seat,despite the fact all their players originate from their famed academy......
