Erling Haaland

And?

Is not in any need of it anytime soon.

It shows that Abramovic pumps money into CFC and has consistently underwritten their spending. I don't see why that should change. Mansour followed the Abramovic and Jack Walker model initially but it's not ongoing.

Mansour diluted his equity in MCFC to take in $500m for investment in the City Group and recently followed that up by borrowing $650m from the debt markets. It's a different model.

Again you are suggesting Chelsea are cheating and breaking FFP is that correct?

 

[Del_Bosque]

Don't agree.

He clearly is not keen on us or Chelsea.

Rags an outside bet next summer, along with Barca, Real and Bayern.

I could see Real getting both Mbappe and Alf .

I think he’ll go to PSG or Juve

then do a few years and move on so Mino gets paid again

can’t see him rocking up at Barca/Real yet

No I am not. CFC football operation is underwritten by Abramovic hence the historic debt wheras City now use the capital and debt makets (Silverlake and $650m borrowing). FFP is a reporting requirement that does not match cashflow. For example, City reportedly offered Villa £75m upfront for Grealish but as far as FFP reporting is concerned we can offset the transfer value over the length of the contract.

Fuck me, spurs fans in this thread now, trying to put us off buying haaland? Are they working for levy or something!

 

[Dadsupportedthem]

who the feck calls the rats at that club by pet names, apart from a rag.

Give over ffs. I couldn't be arsed writing Solksjaer. Or did you want me to give him one of the hilarious nicknames?

Us and Chelsea have different business models, but both have been outstanding success stories.

What Amramovic and the Sheik have invested is irrelevant and so very wrong to question.

And far as I am aware neither take any money out of their clubs.

You cannot question what we spend on players and then question how Chelsea do it.

Looks like he'll be for the Rags this time next year, by process of elimination
Kane at City, Lukaku at Chelsea, Mbappe to Real....
Who else could afford Haaland? Bayern? PSG? Juve?

Bayern will be all over it. Lewandowski reaching the end of his shelf life. Maybe 3 years at Bayern and then another big move.

I have an idea .....does this sound crazy ?

If Kane is a no no, we offer Dortmund 100m for Haaland now and loan him back to them for a year ..... we deffo get the player and play Delap/Jesus/Torres up front for a season ..... Dortmund said that they wont sell him this year as they feel he would get them into Champs League and that would make up for the loss of money in his buy out.

We deffo get Haaland next Summer, and we can void the deal if he gets injured in the 12 months of the loan ..... Dortmund get more money, the player for 1 season and we get him in 2022.

As Errol Brown would say ....everyones a winner.
