Pessimistic ? - yes, but we have a history of being at the table but we rarely land the big fish as you say, but, our recruitment strategy has served us well to date under this regime - so we have nothing to complain about.

Win the league, win a cup & at least get to the final of chumps league & we stand a good chance on signing him.
if we don’t & he thinks pep might be going in a year or so he will look elsewhere in my opinion.
would be the perfect striker for city

Rarely do the stars align like this. Father played for our club, most clubs are skint, clear need for a striker in the team, title winning season, release clause activated in a year so need to sell, sell on fee for Sancho. So many reasons we should get this over the line, and if we don’t, we’ve missed the next big thing when we need a striker more than ever.Call me pessimistic, but I have no faith in us getting a player as sought after as Haaland.

Pep will be here for at least 2 years, there isn't another club where he knows who the manager will be in 6 months.Win the league, win a cup & at least get to the final of chumps league & we stand a good chance on signing him.

I just think if we flop out of champs league & he knows pep is still trying to build for it with only 2 years left his head could be turned to Bayern or more likely PSG. Although PSG might work in our favour with mbape then being sold to make way.
I just think most modern players think very short term & want champs league (not that there is any guarantee). Who ever gets him have a very good chance of winning it for me. If we clean up with trophies I think we have to be top of his list

I think you may be overthinking that. He will go to where he is offered the most money, shirley as simple as that?I just think if we flop out of champs league & he knows pep is still trying to build for it with only 2 years left his head could be turned to Bayern or more likely PSG.

Lol I can dream and surely the city shirt is worth more than money :-) we should be offering his dad an ambassador role too to push the deal over the lineI think you may be overthinking that. He will go to where he is offered the most money, shirley as simple as that?
You seemed to suggest it was an accident, it wasn’t we reacted and moved quickly when the opportunity arose. Back to Haaland, if we want him and if he wants to come, if he’s affordable,I’m sure we’ll be ready to move and seal the deal. We will have alternatives lined up too and will keep all our options open until a deal is sealed
We were linked with Dias a whole season before we signed him, we tried back then, it wasn't affordable. Definately not an accident, or 4th choice or whatever people argue.
In fact, i'd go as far as saying he was our first choice, koulibaly and kounde were the alternatives, and when the club saw what their price was, went back in for dias, when paying top money might as well get top. Nico was a good sweetener.
Back to Haaland, if we are interested, the effort will be there, as will the money, just as there was with kevin, laporte, rodri etc. The haggling will depend on the confidence that he wants us, which we have most often had the luxury of.

A gesture like that would have been more meaningful and sincere after his career ending injury sustained representing usLol I can dream and surely the city shirt is with more than money :-) we should be offering his dad an ambassador role too to push the deal over the line
