Erling Haaland

Sighn Danny Ings and give Delap a chance. Much more likely than Haaland.

I think we will sign Gealish and Ings and that will be it.

no disrespect to Tolm who is a funny and good poster but we have had all these it’s quiet threads and crazy videos for years and it mostly has been.

Danny fucking Ings are you fucking kidding.

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

You actually think we’ll buy/spunk the budget on any of them? Give over, Paul, fecking thuram? Just throwing names into the melting pot now, you should give the recruiters a little more credit ffs

Just go after whoever Man U are in for regardless of whether they fit into Pep's system.

Oh hang on... strike that, reverse it! ;-)

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.

I don’t agree. The rumblings around Sergio have been going on for a while now and the international break was a good time to clear up the situation. We now have clarification as to why pep was not selecting him when fit. Big clubs make big decisions. Whether it is the right decision only time will tell. For what it’s worth I did not what Sergio to leave as I think he is still a fantastic player but we have got to trust the club. They see him everyday and if they wanted him he would of signed a new deal.

We shop in and arrive the 60-70 million for players. So unless Dortmund accept a fee similar with add on and sancho fee we are in business. Until uefa deem it ok for us to spend we can’t splurge IMO.

I don't know who we'll get in tbe summer but my guess is that we land a striker we've played against once in the champions league who none of us give a fuck about and after 6 months we're losing our mind about how he's shit and doesnt fit the system and then BANG... he's fucking awesome.

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

Rashford is fine. Let's sign him. He would be cheaper than Haaland.

within FFP it’s absolutely a can’t. Unless we sell that is ( Mendy and Laporte maybe ). Outside of 1 pep rebuild season out net spend hasn’t been more than 100m since 2011.

My only concern is will we hit 3,000 posts. Nothing else matters.

post 7738 here :)

I assume you mean pages....

With recently floated comments of salary caps, transfer caps, and the possibility that football TV revenues have peaked for a while, it is unimaginable to me that ANY club is thinking of paying £100Ms in fees and wages for ANY player today.

Haaland, like every player, is one tackle away from ending his career. If anyone knows that, it is that family! Accordingly, he’s going to leverage Mino to get the best, most lucrative deal possible.

However, any team even THINKING about £100M+ in transfer fees, plus £15M/yr in wages, is having a laugh...or very willing to undermine the dressing room!

That last one will not be allowed to happen at City, under Pep. It is far too valuable for a player whose MARGINAL impact on the team might be 10-15 goals over a season.

The other question I have, having only seen highlight reels of him banging in goals, is does he cover the ground needed when pressing? If not, then is he ever going to be what Pep wants up front?

Pep’s City thrives on rhythm and movement, of ball and players, into and through the space created by that movement. It’s a delicate balance that CANNOT be based around the game of one player.

May we live in interesting times...
