I realise that, but if the Barca players can't see through the bullsh1t they really must be stupid.

I think you are missing my point. It’s not just about KDB or Haarland - once you move a couple of players into a much higher bracket the pack - other players shift their relativities so the wage bill goes up circa 40 per cent overall. Once word got around that Haarland was on 400 or 500k per week every member of the squad would demand an increase - not to 400k but more than they are presently on because if they are on half of what Kev is on , say -£150k they’d now want half of what Haarland is on £200k City cannot afford for that to happen,

No don’t give in so easily… heard from a mate that we are hoping to get him on a free when he’s 39.

Barca Could have a situation in 3,4 and 5 years time where their highest earner isn’t even registered to play for them… how fucked up is that.

Was always a "what if" and has proved he will never leave his comfort zone and take that risk.

City couldn’t offer 5 years @500k a week, would of been terrible business by us, good on Messi for staying at one club although it’s clearly not just for the love of Barca. Good news all round.

This was never on the cards because City weren’t interested after what happened last summer. You don’t mess Pep around twice and expect to get a third chance.
