It's Quiet 16 - Txiki grinders

Those recent reports of him wanting to "lead the team he joins" possibly hold weight?

Lol come on. I’m even curious how you envision a request in that direction could possibly be. He would request to be the team captain? Seriously

is it that we sell him to madrid after 3 years? i'd look away then, not worth it.

Yes that’s totally plausible... (I’m being ironic, in case it’s not clear)

I'm just throwing stuff out there that i've read that is non monetary, laughable as it may seem.

The only other thing i can see is guarantees around pep. I don't see that though because he was wearing his city shirt years before pep arrived.

Hence it is also quiet from me.

Haaland has made a request of City that I'm not sure we can deliver at this moment in time.

It's not monetary.

Unable to say much more than that, sadly.

Hopefully nudges pep to a new 3 year extension,just finishes off a nice 10 years domination

what's not plausible about him making that request? Mbappe made the exact same request of PSG and they said yes, that was his condition for signing.

He could, but why wouldn't you ask who you are playing for. Everyone is saying he would move here for the team, the style etc and to get better under Pep, if Pep is out of contract 12 months after you arrive, wouldn't you want some indication of the plan first?

I would at least ask tbh.

He could ask, but my point was more that we can't guarantee anything. Our current plan may be to get Pep to sign for another 5 years, but Pep might have other ideas. Or things might go tits up and we need to sack the manager (unlikely). Or we may already have another manager lined up, but they decide they prefer Madrid or Barca. Point is, he can ask, but we can't promise him anything that should really sway his decision

Haaland in for 5,
Pep extends take him to 10.
Riola can play fuckery in the last 1-2 years of Haaland's contract.

Everyone's happy.

I would guess if it was about manager assurances TH would have been more open to saying it outright.

"At this moment in time"...maybe he wants us to sign another dortmund player along side him? We can't afford both "at this moment in time"? Bellingham?

Man this is a head scratcher!!!

Do you have a link for this? I’m struggling to see how that happened given Madrid wanted him last summer and he’s finishing his contract at PSG already anyway

He’s obviously after clarification of City’s stance on the muffin/barm debate
