Nordic Ghost Yeti | Haaland at City

Yeah I know it is but he makes me think what might have been had we actually got the right people in recruitment back then
you need to try and be positive though or else what’s the point?
He seems a right bell-end though, it's gonna be great to really be able to dislike him, let it all out
"Johnny splashacash" 
I bet you anything he would have agreed to an anti city deal or Liverpool etc.
Selling to Madrid Barca or Bayern would be fine.
Would have control over making a profit at worst and I'm sure he'd have agreed to only be sold abroad.
Basically the fear is that we couldn't match his ambition so therefore don't even risk buying him. I'd say we proved his decision to not join us to be the correct one anyway.
Not every team abroad could pay what City did to his dad and agent, why would he have limited his chances?
Don't forget that they met with all those clubs last year on a tour to find the most profitable club for them, that wouldn't have created a circus in United at all.
He literally would have joined us if we had given him the release clause. I see no reason we shouldn't have done it.
We are worse off than if we had done.
Haaland rejected us , we did make him an offer but the sporting project was non existent as it is now before the new manager joins.
Some people just can’t wrap their heads around the fact this deal would have been impossible for us as we stand.

There is 0% chance he would have joined us, seeing the utter mess we are in presently. Anyway it just puts more pressure on City to win CL and PL etc next season.
Confirmed now. The fecker
Why is he so cheap? £50-55m for Haaland is cheaper than us signing AWB & literally any other player we’ve signed over the last 10 years.
Is there a reason they’re paying less than the release clause? Unless they’ve agreed to pay it upfront which practically only oil clubs can do
Grim.
Yes he is. And he will prove it next season.
Anyway you slice it, the strong get stronger.

Sometimes you read a reply that is laughably off topic.
Your post is just that.
Yeah I’m a huge Ronaldo fan but right now, he is likely better than both Ronaldo and Messi. We needs to see how he adapts to the EPL but if he keeps the same level, he is for sure the best young striker in the world right now, just a level below Benzema and Lewa.
It'll go one of two ways:
He'll come to the Premier League and smash it completely or
He'll come to the Premier League and struggle big time.
We've seen it happen quite a few times when great players come to the Premier League and struggle/fail. Personally i think he'll do fine though.

Thank you Roy Keane.
This is what is must have felt like for opposition fans when we added Veron and Ruud to treble winning team.
They have just signed a young version of Ruud Van Nistelrooy.
Yeah, this place would be absolutely fine with losing the club's main (and 21 year old) striker for £50m
Scoring goals isn't Citys problem. They've scored more than anyone in the league.
So what happens with that other promising young striker they also just bought now? Are City definitely selling a couple of their current forwards to make way?
And then we finished 3rd.
But they all miss chances, big chances. They could have scored 2 or 3 more in both games against Real Madrid. Imagine those chances are falling to Haaland instead of the likes of Grealish and Sterling.
I guess Jesus will be sold.
Probably be loaned to one of their dodgy **** clubs they’ve got dotted around the globe.
Looks a good deal on paper so you've got say fair play to City... no doubt we are lining up a loan deal for a young up and coming star out of contract in their mid to late 30s as we speak.
It’s £85.5m with fees. Basically the agent making an absolute killing.
They have Jesus who was there for quite a few seasons and was not starting week in, week out. Given that, you can't seriously think that the Argentinian kid would've had a chance to start next season. He'll come in, get a few games from the bench, score a few goals here and there because it's City and in 2 years they'll sell him for 40 mil, easy money.
There's a reason he went to Dortmund and not a bigger club - no club with aspirations of winning anything would put such a low release clause on a player so young and talented - and rightly so!Yeah, this place would be absolutely fine with losing the club's main (and 21 year old) striker for £50m
People were saying we would clean up the summer we signed Ruud and Veron - we won nothing the next season, actually finished third if I remember correctly?
Also said the same when Torres and Shevchenko joined Chelsea - there are no guarantees but he does appear to be a great player with the right age profile.
Never liked him anyway. Daddy long legged freak of nature 
This assumes Haaland will help the team in terms of generating those chances, and not hinder it
Our success was earned so they shrugged and said fair fecks
Brilliant signing for City. Fantastic young player who will only get better.
He would probably struggle if he played for a club like us, who couldn't even put a few pass together against the likes of Brighton. But playing for City, with chances after chances after chances put on plate for him? It near impossible for him to fail there.
