Erling Haaland

What kind of nonsense is this? Of course we can. Financially we're in as good of a shape as anyone in the world right now.

FFP is still rife.

We have plenty of room under FFP and zero debt. How exactly do you think we were planning on signing Messi a few months back if we were up against FFP limits?

We haven't spent big on fees since 17/18. We could absolutely afford Haaland if we wanted.

I don't agree a it stands but who knows. He will end up at RM. They don't have to stick by the same rules.

Has to be said that Bundesliga is piss poor league. City have 10 game unbeaten run against German teams, going back to Pellegrini era...

He would face 11 man defences here. Haaland's goals would quickly dry up for sure at City.

He's 6'4, fast, Jesus is 5'10 and fast option's.

As long as Raiola is Haalands agent, we will never see him at City. That’s a promise.

We were never fully in for centreback Matthijs De Ligt when we needed a young top centreback, because of Mino Raiola. And we will not even bother with Haaland as long as he represents him.

More fool us in that case. Those in charge at the club are supposed to be running a business and if they won't deal with another businessman for a product that will improve us for a decade that it's petty and pathetic.

Spot on. Sometimes in business you have to deal with shithouses. You don't have to like it, or them, but if it ultimately improves your own business then sometimes you have to take the medicine.
We didnt have a problem buying Girona in partnership with Pep’s agent brother so we can’t pretend to be be too precious or sniffy about dealing with that particular industry.
If the finances don’t add up and dealing with Raiola ends up being more trouble than its worth then fair enough. But it would be insane to miss out on a generational talent because of some historical personal grudge in the boardroom

just look at the quality of those goals. Haaland is exactly what we need
