Erling Haaland

[JustAnotherCityFan]

Sign him with an understanding that he can leave to join Madrid in 2 to 3 years. Obviously, if things didn't work out eg he couldn't settle here then that would be different and an exit may happen.

"Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all"

I think the love will be mutual from both club and player.

 

[Otamendi's Beard]

If Madrid still wanted him in three years then we'd be making a substantial profit. He's worth about £120m now. And he'd have been a huge success with goals and trophies.

It's a win-win situation.

Or they can't afford him and he stays to at least the end of his deal. In which case we'll have another 2 or 3 PLs, plus more.

Exactly, history tells you this, Sane, Torres etc. We'd be looking at a £200m transfer fee so it'd be a win/win regardless.

Except it doesn't. Sane and Torres will never be considered as world class, Sane's end product is abysmal when he has to face any team that employs low block, see his performance vs Villareal, while Torres goes missing for most of the games and is consistently facing abuse from Barcelona fans.

One other hand, not only we have retained the likes of Aguero, Silva and De bruyne but also rewarded them handsomely. Haaland won't be going anywhere once he arrives as he belongs to the same caliber, and that's exactly what that blonde twat "Guti" mentioned in an interview, that it's now or never for Haaland.

Scouser Rickie Lambert says we'll fall apart if we sign Haaland, so we better call the whole thing off.

That took me longer to get than I'd like to admit.

Does Max track back?

Decent Left back ?

Don’t know why anyone’s worrying about Haaland’s intentions in 3-5 years’ time. Let’s get him in first…

I see Balague is another to churn this shite, stay with City for 2 to 3 years and then you can go to Madrid. I can’t see City signing Haaland with this clause in the deal.

Yesterday, the talk was of a 5 year deal.

i can’t see us paying £100m in transfer and agents fees for anything less than a 5 year deal. The only way this 2 or 3 year stuff works is if we have a 5 year contract and a substantial (£150/200m ) release clause.

 

[BlueBanger]

So what is our inside line on haalands "his ankle turned 90 degrees so something must have broken" and "he refused an mri"???

It doesn't concern me for the most part because we are at that phase where reality is striking and clubs are bitter, but it would be tragic if there were any shred of truth.

Do clubs not do medical as anymore?

Its absolute chancer stuff from all of them. If Haaland signs a 5 year deal than after 3 years he will either sign a contract extension or if not, be sold in reality. There is no release clause, they are just making a story around the basic workings of the transfer market.

Yeah to expect everyone like Aguero will be unrealistic, we can convince them to stay but still it depended on them wheter they want to stay or not. I will not expect to much to Haaland to stay very long, it will be great if he does stay longer but we don't want player to have unhappy feeling that they can't have freedom to move if they want.

 

[BlueBanger]

Yeah obviously thats the case but if he's refused an MRI, assuming a shred of truth to that "story", do we find out something troubling when he has it?

Imagine how gutting it would be if we all got our hopes up, and on a new level for city signings, only for us to discover something serious at his medical!!! Yikes.

I dont think it's a big issue to be clear...just playing devils advocate.

That will be in line on what to expect from typical city moment, we always have those every season.

Peter Stuyvesant will no doubt have an option too

If he's fit...we'll sign him
If he's not...we'll probably still sign him
