No question around Haaland's quality or that he'd improve the squad, but anyone else not a get good vibe from this whole transfer saga?

Don't like the fact we'd break our wage structure to land him. Don't think he should be on more than KDB for example. Could cause harmony issues in the squad and seems like Madrid is his preferred destination anyway. Our best players in the modern era — KDB, David Silva, Aguero, Kompany etc — have spent the majority of their career at the top with us. Whereas, even if he did join it looks like it would be for 3 seasons and then seek a move to Madrid/Barcelona.

I'd rather we find another top young forward who a) doesn't have Raiola as an agent, and b) doesn't have a massive ego asking for 500k+/week.
Please stop the nonsense...and I'll repeat something I've had to tell a few others on here...Thank God you are not in any way involved with City's decision making...
 
We get worked up because players will get worked up about it. What does it say to KDB, Bernardo Silva etc — who are world-class and been top players for us for years in the peaks of the career — when Haaland rocks up on way more than them when he's won none of the same things they have
They don’t at all. If anything they will be looking forward to negotiating their next contract.

Either you don't understand the nature of professional sports or you're just looking for some kind of irrelevant issue to moan about...

500k a week?
Like Ronaldo you mean?
 
Those gas bagging about his wages need to understand two things:

1.) If he walks into our team he immediately becomes our most productive player, in almost all other organisations higher productivity means higher wages; I'm no economist but that's rudimentary stuff. Research the highest paid players at each of the biggest clubs in Europe, you won't find many that aren't strikers/goalscorers. He'd be bringing a quality to our team that, arguably, could only be replicated by two other players in Europe. In other words, he's in an exclusive pool of talent and will command the highest salary.

2.) Absolutely nobody will know the exact figures we've offered him at this juncture, except for the lad himself and his camp. Dylan from the magic roundabout will be as well-informed as these journalists in regards to salary, so just relax. I'd imagine he'll come on parity to kev, which will be warranted.
