They have a lot of commercial revenue as long as UAE are commited city are good. I meant more that they are unlikely to end up in The Championship I mean, they still could as selling him won't be too difficult but if you are Haaland surely you wait for the outcome before committing for so long Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'd be down for a season at most. A lot of the cartel clubs fans and journos have kinda got ahead of themselves when it comes to city. As long as the UAE are engaged they will be a force.

gdm Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Part of me felt a bit of solidarity with City with Newcastle backing them up in court etc but honestly wish they’d get found guilty and fuck off down the leagues. A bad run of form over 2 months. No problem just spend £200m. They are as much the problem as Liverpool & Man Utd are just at the other end of the scale Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

His salary is now at a point where very few can even dream of having him. Also the report means all release clauses are now removed. 1 season isn't much of a hardship.

Well we all know where that revenue comes from It's not too different to what we'd like to do (I think we've no doubt taken advantage of deals already, just nowhere near to the extent that they have) I'm not saying anyone should be a fan of City or admire what they've done, I just think it's clear from our perspective that ManU/Liverpool/Arsenal/Spurs are the real scumbags Edited January 17 by Geordie Ahmed Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Building a really good squad steadily year by year and not just throwing silly money at like city. City are the reason we can’t spend as much as we’d like. No one wants another city in the league so people can blame Man Utd Liverpool and Arsenal etc and rightly so but the way City have went about things since their takeover is it any wonder the rest of league don’t want a repeat of that?

Tiresias Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 I mean it could be great for city. He could of course also lose form and fitness and be stuck on their wage bill for years and years. Guess they can afford it but this feels more statement to fans that the project isn't going anywhere than actual practical football decision Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s very tourist like. My mate’s kids football team all went down a couple of weeks ago for the City v West Ham game as part of package thing where they get a tour etc which is fair enough but when he got there he saw about 3 or 4 other people he knew from up here that aren’t city fans and just went for the experience.

Chicken Dancer Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 As with other elite strikers, he will just adapt and change his game. If Shearer done it I’m sure Haaland can. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken Dancer Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 On the subject of Shearer, assuming Haaland stays for 75% of that contract, he will almost certainly break the record. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be foolish to disagree, most likely he will, it's just Haaland feels a bit of an outlier of a player so I am not sure all comparisons will work, however he certainly can finish so will remain a great poacher likely. I'd more be worried about injuries. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But what Man City are doing right now is exactly the problem with the rules. They’re having a shit season so spend £150m to fix it, whereas we ‘can’t afford’ to replace Almiron. Not being allowed to strengthen in the position of strength that we are in right now is just ridiculous Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyc35i Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Oh and I said the same of Aston Villa last year. They had a genuine opportunity to try and win the league this time last January and you really don’t get these opportunities often. They weren’t allowed to freshen up the team to kick on again in the same way we find ourselves right now and just ran out of steam Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smal Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 (edited) do wonder if Man City have had word that their punishment is going to be a long transfer ban. Signing all these young players and handing out obscene contracts to existing ones seems mad. Their only previous significant January signings under Pep have been Laporte and Gabriel Jesus I think.

WilliamPS Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 With Haaland he may lose his pace (but that is injury dependent) but he’d still be a big powerful striker with a good shot on him. He’s also massively dedicated, so more likely to work on his game as his mobility changes. It’s not likes he’s like Owen or Walcott where pace is his game.
