Erling Haaland

[razman]

I'd given up hope of Haaland so good to hear from Tolm and SWP's Back there might be a sliver of hope in the future.

Watching a replay of the Dortmund game from yesterday and the kid is incredible.

There's another son of a ex-City player suiting up for Dortmund who's been somewhat overlooked but really coming into his own. Think could be a fantastic #8 for us in a few years.

Read what tolm wrote, missed swp update

£500k a week. The greed of footballers really is staggering.

Global pandemic decimating industries. Footballers want more money.

I'm not seeing any of that happening

Here in Brazil it’s being treated like a near certainty

Global pandemic decimating industries. Footballers want more money.

The Premier League global TV rights are £9.2bn from 2019 to 2022.

Pandemic or no pandemic, thats how much the players are bringing in, and I dont see why they aren't entitled to most of it.

I would much rather it went to the players than the Billionaire owners or shipped out of the country in the form of transfer fees to foreign clubs.

Maybe, but if we want to stay at the top of the tree we have to pay

No we dont , it is fucking obsence

 

[samuelyeboah]

another striker will burst into the scene in a year. we'll get someone next year, no need to do something stupid.

 

[Keeper!]

Agreed but wages for the major players will continue to rise, you either pay, or not, and if you don't you won't compete.

 

[Stoned Rose]

The reality is this lad would be the most incredible signing.

A world class beast already imo and only going to get better, faster, stronger, more ruthless.

I'd say he's the most coveted player on the planet at the moment.

If we are ever going to "go big", this is without doubt the one to do it for.

 

[Keeper!]

No we dont , it is fucking obsence

So is 350k week for KDB but does anyone complain?

Crazy but the club can afford it

 

[Lkzerinho]

Try 400K a week

 

[Keeper!]

What's stupid, this guy looks a generational talent, if you want that type of player, you pay the big money, always been the same and it always will be the same.

something stupid as in throw 150m to dortmund, give alfie and raiola 40 more million and give him the biggest salary in world football, in addition to a release clause

 

[Keeper!]

Try 400K a week

Whatever the amount its irrelevant if the club can afford it.

We want to be the best team in Europe , to do that you have to have the best players, the best players want the biggest wages.

Seems unbelievable typical City that there’s a superstar who was a City fan as a kid and we still won’t end up with him

if he was such the big fan that people make out he would fuck Raiola off, sign a 10yr contract and be here tomorrow.

There will be no clauses if he does come, we are talking about a player who could give us 10 years at the very top.

We were prepared to spend 100m plus on a 28yr old with dubious ankles and who wanted 300-400k week.

 

[kaz7]

Try 400K a week

Including bonuses and he is a senior player , haaland is a kid with a twatty agent

 

[Tartarian Blue]

Yes. We're not getting some established striker cheap, that's simply not happening. I think it's well worth the risk for Haaland. It's a shame it will never happen though as this is the perfect opportunity to snatch him before the bidding war next summer.

 

[Thenumber1blue]

Here in Brazil it’s being treated like a near certainty

I think rather than strengthen a rival, they'd rather lose the money and try and talk him into new deal all year while Real wait until he's free next season, maybe striking a pre deal in January

 

[samuelyeboah]

There will be no clauses if he does come

tolmie JUST said that's raiola's demands and that's why chelsea backed away, so what you're saying makes no sense
