Erling Haaland

This tracks as correct to me, Mino trying to drum up the price on City by going over to Barca and Madrid and Pep firing a warning shot back to him. It's a negotiation, you guys all need to chill the fuck out.

Spot on. TBH, I know Raiola has a rep as a master negotiator but yesterday's shenanigans looked really amateurish.

We need Haaland at any cost. Any.

Not really, we are not desperate.

We won 21 games in a row this season (the previous all-time record was 14 games!) without a top top finisher and, who knows, we may win the lot in several weeks. Maybe, just maybe, we should trust the team, the manager, the club bosses a little bit more.

Why do some fans think they know better than Txiki and Pep what we need and at what cost?

Meh. We fecked the league with our proper strikers missing significant time. We're not doubling our club transfer record to fund another club's pandemic relief. Haaland should dump his snake of an agent before he pisses his career away the way he did Pogba.

“With all this, we will agree that the tour of Mino Raiola and Alf Inge Haaland did not impress Pep Guardiola too much.”

That’s weird there are plenty on here are convinced that we are balls deep for Haaland and calling people out as stupid if they disagree .....

Raiola is (or more accurately was) a master bluffer. The problem is, there is no money in the market to bluff with. You literally can't play poker without physical cards. I am happy Pep called it out right away. I think we'll still get him, but we won't go overboard with any part of the transfer financially. If it does go out of hand, we will walk. And that is EXACTLY what makes our club so sustainable.

Problem with not getting him is somebody else will.

Pep is reported to have specified that City did not have the money to sign a striker at 150 million and he went on to say that "all the clubs are struggling financially, us as well." This is, of course saying that Haaland will not be sold for 150 million this summer to us - or any other club. It does not rule City out of reaching agreement with Dortmund and Haaland at all.

Yep. He will have weighed his words very carefully here. It's a Sicilian message.

i thought mino was suppose to be experienced but his mystical magical tour was amateur at best . The whole galaxy know city is loaded and a cash cow especially post covid no one has financial strength as city but this move will back fire if they piss city .

That's life, we won't die because of it.

No but we’d have missed a golden opportunity to get a player on board for potentially the next ten years who could turn out to be more prolific than Aguero. How much would that be worth?
