Erling Haaland

[momo88]

If Pep is right and we cannot afford Haaland and one would assume therefore Mbappe or Kane, then I cannot understand why we have not just renewed Agueros contract for another season. An easy option especially in this current econmic climate. The man is now getting back to fitness will guarantee goals. We will not get by without a No.9 forever. I hope Pep is wrong otherwise I feel we're being short-sighted IMO.

Maybe because :

City including Pep and Board feel that Aguero has a poor injury record

His salary

Characteristics Pep needs in a striker

Maybe Aguero didn't want to extend with a lesser salary, he feels he can sign more than a 1 year extension or having a new challenge to motivate himself for the last years of his career, he is not old 32 is noghing when you have a good fitness.

Maybe City want to free some wages in order to sign another player

Like every team City is also concerned by the pandemic the revenues will be lesser it doesn't rain money

Alfie is just being his Dad, hearing the offers and seeing no shenanigans are going on.... hearing said offers, first hand, is a little easier to digest without the Mino seasoning that always accompanies said deals...

I wonder why he did the same when a guest at city?

@Zin 'messiah' Zimmer, did Alfie take that little visit alone, then?

Alfie taking a selfie now with Txiki as we speak.

I’d rather win with Rashford scoring the winner for city than watching us lose with serge. City first, second and always

Rashford OG ? Love it!

If we don’t go for haakand because of the price. Which also means no felix no Kane etc then there is no point in even discussing all these supposedly top tier footballers who very rarely go on the market . Ok we don’t know as much as pep and the board about transfers but are not always gonna be able to unearth the next messi of Ronaldo and sometimes you have to spend big to bring in the star players to get you to the next level . As for rumours about grealish and his potential transfer of £80-£100 million not a chance will we pay anywhere near that and we will be lucky to break our own transfer record of £63 million on anyone we bring in .

The club needs to live within its means. If we can’t spend £100 million on a player then we buy a player we can afford.

It’s not can’t mate it’s won’t spend that money . Next season will be a very difficult season to win as most probably one of our rivals will have haaland upfront so we will need to make sure we get our recruitment spot on this summer . I think we will buy a striker and most probably it will be one of daka ings thuram silva or Nunez from benfica but if we don’t then we make a massive mistake just like the Kompany one last year

Then extend Aguero's contract for another year or two until it can afford to sign top tier striker.

The club brought this on to themselves by announcing his departure now.

Mino would of been merely smooshing with the latest tour, he certainly wasn’t a guest with Alfie, nor would you expect such..

People need to realise this isn’t a relationship Mino will be use too, Alfie’s experience alone as an ex pro is to our advantage, however, as much as people are discounting fat man’s worth, he brokers deals of this magnitude, and is bloody good at it, why wouldn’t a father want the best?

Snake, parasite, cockroach, there’s a 1000 names but he will deliver the best package, which irks clubs no end!

But again why? I love what Kun has done for us, but for one you will need to pay him a decent salary. On top of that we cannot guarantee he will be playing as many games as he wants. If you look at this season, Pep already prefers to go with the false 9 instead of Kun. It wouldn't be fair to him to continue this pattern into next season as well.
