This is too much drama for me. I wish I had this romanticized view of “trust and care” from the players, but they are all very well paid, more here than they would anywhere, with fat bonuses as well, and with a fortune being offered elsewhere, who knows if they would leave.I don't like the notion that we can easily break the wage structure just we have to, regardless the dressing room feeling about that.
It's just insulting to our player that have been loyal for us for years, they can at some point be tempted to leave the club for the club with better european pedigree and history aka a lot of bullshit compared to us. Yet most of them still stick with us eventhough the club still not getting the biggest trophy of them all, they trust and care for the club because the club is also caring them back and making a fair and justified wage structure to keep everyone happy.
And now the club want to stab them back and spit all the goodwill they have been building for over years for some kid that i admit is huge talent that can take us to the new height but at the cost of our dressing room?
This really a bad, bad idea if the rumor is true. I hope for everyone sake that Haaland or more specifially his father can convince him for not making outrageous demand for his wage.
You play for City as main man in the club as striker but that doesn't mean you are bigger than the club. We still have our pride and not bending ourselves easily to give in any demand from potential player that joining our club.
Grealish walked in the door yesterday and is already earning wages bigger than anyone but one of our players, KdB. We did this because that’s what it took to secure the player and because this is the new reality. We have to adequate ourselves to the reality of the market constantly, the Grealish case was one of those situations. We constantly renew contracts updating the players’ wages therefore also influencing the larger market. The Ronaldo transfer to United, whether we want or not, will be playing a major role for years to come as having set a standard.
We do not have a single player in our squad being paid to be our topscorer or our poster boy. When you sign someone like Haaland, you are signing someone who will score the most goals for you and win matches for you, as well as eventually win titles and raise your profile. United pays Ronaldo an obscene lot because he is superstar, yes, but also because even at 36, he will still win many matches for them like yesterday. Players love having players that have that power of decision inside a game in the squad to help them out, or bail them out every now and then. The idea that these international players in our squad don’t understand the profile of a player, the way the market works, and will be driven by jealousy, is extremely simplistic. They know it better than us
