Ever since I've been a City fan (about 12 years now), it seems to me that we've never bought the then-current consensus top 1 or 2 players available for a position; instead, we've tried to buy high quality players a bit under the radar - expensive, but perhaps a bit undervalued.

Haaland is a very hot commodity and is one of the very top targets for clubs looking for a striker.
So what do you think? Are we willing to spend very big on Haaland? - I honestly don't know for sure, but if so, this seems to be a departure from our previous signings. I hope that we are all in for Haaland - as I think he's likely the best striker of his generation.
