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?
I guess we will find out after another million twists and turns in this transfer saga.
I actually have complete faith in the club to do the right thing for City, whatever that is.

I don't think Haaland will be a player to stay at a club more than 3 years. Think he'll do the tour to be honest. Germany, England, Spain and Italy.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.

i said this early in the season, it wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if we didn't buy a traditional CF.both books have arrived :).
ive started reading confidential , touching on the reason we spoke regarding the books was my idea of a pep forward(if i remember correctly) now im only up to approx the 4/5th chapter, Bayern haven't yet played Dortmund in the supercup or whatever they call it, but peps thoughts of who can play that forward position is ribery, a player who can play right across the front, this only cements my idea of our next forward being ferran torres, a player who can play right across the front , this is only my gut feeling having watched torres, i said at the start of the season during torres first few games for us he has something about him,
as i say ive only just started reading confidential and my take on it could turn out completely wrong, however what i can take from the book so far is, pep is a way better coach than i even thought

People can read into Pep’s comments to suit their own hopes, that’s fine. For me he doesn’t get involved in negotiating games via the press. He’s a straight shooter.

The words Pep used are quite interesting:
"I don't know what is going to happen but at these prices we are not going to buy any striker," he said.
"It's impossible. We cannot afford it. All the clubs are struggling financially, us as well.
"Today there is more chance we will not buy a striker next season."
To me, this is directly linked to the nonsense yesterday. It implies not only that we’re not interested at the figures being splashed around, but confirms the player we are interested in is Haaland.
...or am I over-analysing it?

No, I think you're spot on. Pep sending a message to Haaland camp, that we're not desperate to overspend for you.The words Pep used are quite interesting:
