Erling Haaland

[waspish]

Chelsea must be close to FFP limits... not sure they can afford another big transfer in this rolling period.

The ffp been changed and the monitoring period changed to four years but think it will extended another year.

And the players and their agent get a big slice of any signing on fee. If any of those players mentioned had their heart set on City they would have come.

New FIFA rules on Agents have been agreed, I'm sure loop holes will exist but any club flouting the laws will hopefully get as much shit thrown at them as we did over FFP. Holds breath without any confidence we will be treated as fairly as the rest of the perceived Euro big boys.

 

[markprendy]

He clearly needs to be right,bless him.

Nothing of the sort. Its just a fact we have put bids in with lots of players that went elsewhere, but god forbid they reject us. Jesus Christ.

 

[chesterbells]

Unless they have a proper clear out

And they always seem to get suspiciously good fees back don’t they?

Ok then,expalin what part of......we backed out when the price went above what we were willing to pay or that we thought the player was worth bit are you struggling with?

 

[decmancity]

Right, 50m cash, write off the Sancho clause and you can have Braaf. Do it Zorc.

We put offers in and they were rejected. Why are you struggling with that? We are going round in circles. At the end of the day we can both agree money plays an important part in any players future and I for one, like most Blues, hope Haaland chooses City if we do indeed go in for him.

Lol,youre priceless.

And you're deluded

I think that values him at about £80m? 15% on Sancho and £15m for Braaf?

Probably needs more than that.

Not always Salah, KDB , Lukaku not so much.

Give them Rodri or Mahrez that should do it

Not sure about Lukaku but the first two were considered unproven players that didn't really become first team regulars.

The fact that not "every" outgoing fee seems inflated, is irrelevant though. If you were cheating the system, you wouldn't do it for every transfer and you'd probably only do it when you really need some slack on FFP. They do seem to get ridiculously good money for dead wood, like for like, compared with most other PL teams(bar Liverpool).

Personally, I don't subscribe to the idea that City and most other clubs are just bad at selling. You can only sell for what people are willing to pay and a club will know when another club deems a player not good enough and wants rid. So it is fair to ask how are they doing it(or question why the other team is taking the risk) with some transfers. Is it all down to luck/good timing?

His release clause is less than that isn't it?

 

[Xhavenjoe]

Give them Rodri and Mahrez.
If they don't think thats enough just give them Rodri or Mahrez.

 

[itisrising]

Yes but the value of keeping Haaland for an entire season isn't 15m.

 

[LucahArchie10]

£100m will be needed to get him + agent fees of around £10m & £200.000 a week wages

6 year deal we are talking £170m all in ?

25m for Sancho sell on clause & Braff?
Gundagun £40m
Angelino ( do we have to sell to Liepzig?)

 

[chesterbells]

Understood, fair point. Well sometimes anyway. It certainly seems they do when they need to pull a rabbit out of the ffp hat, or maybe that’s just the impression I get.

 

[00 years]

Just don’t get why we didn’t push for him when he left Red Bull we’ve been crying out for a striker now for 3 years our transfers of late haven’t exactly set the world alight

Because his agent wanted him at a stepping stone club first, every club in the world would have stumped up the 20m it cost Dortmund, it wasn't an option for anybody.

The chances are if he signs for us then in 4 or 5 years, it will be 'Real' as the next port of call.
