Longevity not guaranteed with Haaland pal, he could easily do a Sane on us. In fact even if he did come to us I think he’d also want to go Real/Barca etc a bit later down the line. Just my opinion but reckon he’s probably more a Ronaldo type than Messi
I think the times of teams being a step up from City, are gone now. They've got no money, certainly not the revenue that the EPL pay our clubs, and we now see them struggle, while the EPL teams basically dominate the UCL. I can't really think of a reason why a player who is not Spanish, would want to leave us for La Liga.

It was different with Sane, he wanted to be the poster boy of the major team in is homeland.
 
Would Kane be more long term than Haaland, I think Kane would be happing challenging for most trophy’s every season. Haaland would soon want Spain I think too many Barca / real links to believe it’s not his end goal

Maybe the case with Haaland, but if he was successful for us, his sell on value would increase considerably, where the disadvantage of Kane is little or no value at the end of one contract.

Real and Barca when they get back on their feet, which they both will are still a big draw for most players, even if it's down to lifestyle and location.

But this summer with the covid issues, and the two Spanish giants at the start of major rebuilds we are in an incredibly strong position to get the men we want.
 
I would dissagre

150m deal probably more with agent fees, signing on fee's I think even the Sheik would prefer some sort of return on that investment.

The Sheik’s a multi-billionaire. £150M is loose change in his world and that can give a different perspective.
Yes, he cares about getting a return but the desired return may be in the form of trophies won and Kane, as a proven goal machine in the PL, would almost guarantee that.

Feel like history says trophies are guaranteed regardless. Agree with you about return though. We have the CFG for that.

Multi billionaires want return, IF we sign Keane he has to produce with that investment and I am sure he would, the only issue I have is his injuries, that is a major worry on this deal,

Haaland looks outstanding but is untried in this league, and we have seen with Werner at Chelsea, a top young player in the German league can look very ordinary in the Prem.
