Was listening to the 93:20 pod about Aguero leaving and Jack Gaughan mentioned how this suggests that they are further down the line with a replacement than we realize isn't this what @Zin 'messiah' Zimmer said a week or so ago?

Probably been mentioned somewhere else, and it’s purely wild speculation on my part, but the strange timing of the Aguero announcement seems like a signal to Haaland. Publicly making way for him to be the new main man for City.

Probably, but I feel given his statement last week saying it was more advanced than many realize, and now this, It seems to me that the club must be very very confident in him or someone else coming in this summer.
 
Who knows if this is happening or not but personally I did think his dad's comments about the importance of the direction the club has been going in the last 10 years, was very very encouraging.

In one fell swoop, he squashed the Ole Gunnar Solskjær relationship angle by saying a manager can get sacked at any moment, so the clubs overall philosophy and trajectory is important. And at the same time, is there a club in world football which has not seen a more positive transformation over the past 10 years? A club with a better set up, better long term strategy and better outlook? I would say no, and it would seem to me that it was a VERY strong hint that he may be coming to us.

I'm sure you've seen it but in case not, here's what he said:

"You have to go to a club where the whole club wants you, not just the coach," he said.

“I think that’s the most important thing, in addition to how the club has been over the last five or 10 years and what direction they’ve taken."

Here is the rest of the quote from the article and it is also very important; and telling:


Raiola: “With Mr Ferguson or Guardiola, I have this problem — and I think that it is changing now — that (they believe) we should submit to them because ‘otherwise, tomorrow, you don’t do a player with Manchester United’. I don’t give a fuck if I never do another player with Manchester United. I’m not in their hands. I’m independent. We have only one party that we take care of: our players. And as long as our players like us, you do what you have to do.”

Interesting that he slags the rags and that he says the dynamic is changing. That clearly sounds like a Ferguson tactic moreso than Pep and the fact that it’s changing implies that big name coaches no longer blacklist agents like they used to.

This quote is even better than the “shit person but great Coach” at no point has he dealt Manchester city a blow, in fact I read it as he's willing to work with city.
The rag cunts on the other hand...

edit; in fact it’s even more telling that he says “I think that’s changing now” after name dropping two managers, one of which retired not too long ago, and one still in the game at a top club wanting the top players. Good quotes that only the most bitter deluded parasite could misconstrue as city negative

istree doesn’t count ?
 
I just can't see us paying upwards of 130 million and 28 million a year in wages! That's insanity in today's economic climate and it's not how we work. We may cover the wages if Ferna and Sergio leave but that's adding 25 mill a year to the amortisation on a five year deal. That would destroy our recruiting strategy and wage structure in one go. Notwithstanding that greedy **** Raiola would be into us for about 30 mill as well.
Does anyone think we'll do this deal?

Yes, we’ll do the deal but no where close to £600k per week.

Not even sure why we’d debate an amount that a journalist at The Sun has pulled out of his arse.

First of all don’t let a The Sun article make up your opinion on anything
Second of all, IF we ever decide to back away from this deal for whatever reason (hopefully won’t happen, but...) the club will make sure the press knows about it. We’re not there yet, so we still think it can be done and afforded
