Are you really using Havertz as a barometer of value?

It doesn't matter, that's how these things work between clubs when it comes to negotiation. If someone like that went for that much, Dortmund can reasonably expect over 100m for Sancho, and it would be warranted.
Of course there has to be more to it than that but City have recently a history of laying their groundwork early and often sealing the deal too.
There are only a small number of clubs who have the financial ability to give Dortmund what they want at the moment so the clock is ticking.
No ones paying that sort of money for Sancho.
Hes not leaving if they get top 4 and theyre getting top 4.
Itll be Sancho again and he'll be joining us imo

One is genuinely surprised when he doesn’t score - in any game. One is at the same time surprised every time Martial scores, and that’s why we will never win the league with him as our main striker.
Pretty bad game from Haaland today. And Im honestly surprised he didn't s score. Its Messi, Ronaldo, Lewandowski and now Haaland that I *always* expect will be on a teams scoresheet.
Real shame that Jarstein let that fumble in, he's been so good for Herta.
Means nothing. Our manager was a Liverpool fan.
Makes it even less meaningful when his dad is an actual former Manchester City player
I was going to comment 'Ironic, considering when he was a kid City weren't a massive club winning titles', but he's so young they were when that was taken
It's funny but I'd rather a CDM and Striker over a CB and RW.
He looks like Darnell from Big Brother.
No we need a RW first by a mile it’s been 6 years since we were any one bit decent going down the right. With AWB not the best at attacking our right side is so awful that 95% of our attacks come down the left. I think there was one game this season where a team just let us attack down the right leaving AWB free and pushed over towards our left and it nullified us.
If you are saying you would rather Haaland than a RW then I’ll agree since he’s a one of a kind but overall our first signing should be a RW
With Aguero off, City firmly one of the best clubs in the world, Pep at the helm and his dad's link to the club...
If they move for him, he goes there. Finito.

Do you not think DM is just as important because we are losing far too many midfield battles due to this
We'll simply have to get Mbappé or Kane in that case. There's more or less no other way we'll be able to compete. Cristiano could be the backup option, but there's more of a risk he could go into a decline.
No the RW is still the most important as you look at any top team that challenges they all have top RW/LW, Their backup RW’s are still good players. Would do we actually have that’s actually a RW ? Diallo is way to young and inexperienced to be our first choice.
I agree that DM is then our most glaring weakness, Matic is finished, Scott is more of a box to box and Fred is a pure CM.
I think we need a ST and CB too but I’d be happy with a top RW and DM as our only signings in the summer as I feel that will make us so more balanced
At that point, you're basically just waiting for Pep to get bored and feck off in the hope they mess up replacing him
Yes I do mean specifically Halaand. I'd sacrifice any position to get him because he is one of a kind
Oh well then yeah I agree. This would be like us signing RVP when we needed a CM for years. This kid is the real deal and he plays like a 27 year old experienced ST.
Hahah. And now we know how rival fans felt for years!At that point, you're basically just waiting for Pep to get bored and feck off in the hope they mess up replacing him
City don't need Halaand. It would be cheating at this stage.
Just be glad Klopp has done the noble thing and graciously imploded
Tabloid story that we are out of the running. Dortmund want £90mil in one payment upfront this summer. City favourites.
Pathetic if we can't do that when we done next to nothing last summer.
You'd swear we where the ones winning leagues.
Will have a few sales this summer to. Been years since we had a striker that's good enough.
They know diddly squat.
I love that Liverpool have gone off the rails, but to be honest, I feel a bit sorry for Klopp as I wonder how much his mother's death has to do with his lessened impact on the team.Just be glad Klopp has done the noble thing and graciously imploded
On a related note, I know a Liverpool fan who would quite happily flog Salah to Madrid etc. for a huge sum and with that money refresh the squad a bit.
After the past few transfer windows it’s hard to believe we will go and get him. But if a man wanted to go with the glass half full attitude you can make a case for it. The main reason I think for optimism is that it makes sense in every way including financially. If we sign him on the same sort of deal he signed with Dortmund we would make a profit on him in a few years time. Hopefully we have him for a year or two longer than Dortmund maybe 4/5 years. It wouldn’t be great when the time when he moves on comes but if we have win a title or two in that time and make a profit, how bad. Spending 100mil now knowing you will easy get 150 for him in a few years makes him a solid investment.
It kinda goes back to the transfer policy we had not long after Glazers first took over where we supposedly had a 50mil transfer kitty with an addition 50 for a star player if available.
Another reason for optimism is that we already made a significant bid for Sancho and most of that money wasn’t spent last window.
Also Woodward made the mistake last year of saying we were going to have lots of money to spend and that backfired big time. I am quietly hoping that they have learnt their lesson and have money to spend this year but are just playing it smarter.
Its very hard to believe that the Glazers will spend 150-200mil and even if they were will it’s hard to believe we could get the deals done. But with Haaland seeming such a no brainer of an investment opportunity maybe just maybe there’s a chance.

This is going to make Sneijder look like childs play.
He was there for 3 seasons. Hardly significant. Bloody Darmian was at United longer and played for us more than Haaland did for City.
City also terminated his contract early.
It means f*ck all.
If Madrid had the sort of money to buy Salah they wouldn’t spend it on Salah.
Tell me how much money you saved personally with United foregoing a move for Sancho at £100 million?
I made a mistake. My original source seems to have been flawed. I found another one that says this:
Age: 20
Goals: 20
Shots: 45
Shots on target: 29
Assists: 2
Because maybe it would be good for his career and he'd urn out to be a great player. Dortmund have a knack for that.
Yeah and success will bring the players back wanting to play for United.
So half his total shots are goals... Nice.
Heed this man.
