Erling Haaland

There were reports a few weeks ago that Haaland could be convinced to link up with Solskjaer again, with him out of the picture seemingly, wonder if that helps our chances.
 
What do you mean

What I mean is that people seem fucking obsessed with his agent and how much 'extra' money they want to imagine he will cost. Like he is the only bloody player that has an agent and fees and bonuses involved.

A couple of papers have run with 'look how much whoever signs him might end up paying' clickbait, and that's now the only thing anyone cares about. And this notion that he will cost what he would have cost last year, eventhough his transfer value has halved, but with his agent pocketing the difference is one of the daftest premises on here.

If he does have high wage demands and agent fees and bonuses, it will be because he is good enough to get them. That would be the case no matter who he was or who his agent was. No top player with those numbers at that age with that high a ceiling is going for cheap and without incentive payments.

The club will decide whether its worth it. If that means paying 40m in bonuses to whoever, they will. If they think he isnt worth what they value him, that can be a fiver, they still won't part with it if they dont think it fair.

A very risky strategy if they are out of the Champions League places come the end of January.

I have it on good authority now that the Haaland total dispersements to the family, including signing fee and brokers fee to his dad and Mino are £50m.

For context, Mino was paid £40m for Pogba, Mkhitaryan and Lukaku by United.

It's doable.

Is it happening Tolm

They play Ajax and Besiktas at home and Sporting away. Sporting plays their next two games (Dortmund and Besiktas) at home and the final one, Ajax (that would already be safe as the number one, presumably), away. Anything can happen

I assume that's 50M all in not each, which is certainly high, but not crazy, any idea if the 1M per week wages are correct or is it closer to the 400K mark

The only issue will be how to make those payments in a way that is legal and doesn't break tax laws or FFP. Raiola will want an under-the-table deal in some dodgy Cayman bank account and City will never do that so there has to be something sorted to make it happen without dropping us in the shit. The figure itself will not be an obstacle and Haaland is worth it.
