And rightly so, if you've adopted a mindset where you'll go to the highest bidder then City are not interested, whether you think it works or not. I like this policy, some don't, that's footballSadly I agree, I can't see us getting involved in a wages/agent fee auction.

Liam Delap every faith in the lad
True mate not goodSo do I but it’s a worry he has had a couple of injuries at such a young age.
A couple of injuries? Are you including the stress fracture of his back? He's fully recovered from that long before he came here.So do I but it’s a worry he has had a couple of injuries at such a young age.
Of course he will go to a rival,one that isn't bothered about destroying their wage structure.
I don't see City doing it,to be honest.
I'd take him in a heartbeat,but don't see our hierarchy thinking the same...just opinion.
This isn’t the issue and discounts why city won’t be in the running....Think it’s a bit unfair to say he will go to the highest bidder.
I think Mino is going to get him the best deal he can at a number of clubs, no doubt pushing and playing one of against another.
Ultimately, then Haaland will decide.
Our offer will be a very good offer, we will be fully aware how good he is and the obvious hole in the team.
Once you bust your wage structure, there’s no going back and that business model City have adopted for years is broke. All it takes is a few bad deals and a string of players on huge wages and it gets messy.At some point you have to push the boat out if you don’t want to get left behind while your rivals sail off into the sunset.
Over the last few years we’ve lost Yaya, David Silva and Aguero and every signing since then has been a downgrade in those positions, even the very good signings. There’s only so long you can miss out on the very best until it causes you to fall behind. I think with our lack of a striker we’re starting to find that already this season.
Given our turnover and income and recent sustained success I don’t understand why we’re so reticent to spend what it takes to keep the rags and Chelsea below us. Sometimes it feels like we’re deliberately giving them a chance. Personally I find that incredibly frustrating.
The problem is players and agents are changing strategies.Once you bust your wage structure, there’s no going back and that business model City have adopted for years is broke. All it takes is a few bad deals and a string of players on huge wages and it gets messy.
Collectively the rags and Chelsea have finished above us once in the last five seasons...At some point you have to push the boat out if you don’t want to get left behind while your rivals sail off into the sunset.

Not necessarily.That definitely puts us out of the running

Nobody said we will.We can't stop other teams strengthening though they always have they alway will.That’s in the past. We can‘t stand still while they strengthen.
We have spent enough to keep them below us. That's the point! As the last five years has illustrated!That’s in the past. We can‘t stand still while they strengthen.
