Erling Haaland

Even if let's say he wasn't as crazily expensive as some ar projecting, it's still way out of our range for the time being.

City is a club offering more sporting wise. Immediate success too. He would be more expensive for Barca even if willing to come.

Bonuses must be huge though.

Dont agree.

Think club could have got it done and were trying to sign him. They stopped pushing that idea when realised he didnt want the move.

The CVC and Barca Studios deals would make it possible.

Yes, it's a mix of all. City perform in all areas but prestige.

CVC and Barca Studios aren't done deals pen to paper. It's a projection. I agree City offers more outside of money too, but money is also part of the issue. It's not as irrelevant to the discussion.

I'd say Guardiola is the main pull, then the financial package and the chance to write a great story for himself by doing what Neymar failed to achieve at PSG. City is a great vessel atm. They are so close to being no1 undisputed in the world and lack just one or two pieces.

Obviously but they are being put forward as very real options and would have made deal viable and it is not unrealistic to have them done already or soon had the transfer depended on it.

Had Haaaland given green light they would have been getting it done quick sharp.

Why did anyone ever discuss how much they would pay Haaland etc if it was this impossible? Narratives have fairly changed.

I agree Pep, better league, better team currently, better financial situation. He made the correct choice really.

Haaland isn't an ideal complement for Fati and Fati can be better than Haaland. Even with all these injuries Fati already has a slightly better goal to minutes played ratio this season, stunning!

 

[Iniesta Ultra]

Nah and thats a terrible line.

You excited to see Puig tomorrow and his huge talent?

The real reason you're pissed lmao!

I mean both City and Barca offer a chance at winning the league and getting slapped out of the CL. Fairly even I would say.

Pissed?

Puigs fate is set in stone. That one is long dead.

I disagree. I've been Xavi's worst critic here but I've also posted recently he can become better than Pep. But if you get your way you can stay in misery.

Doesnt make sense so very glad you disagree.

Would worry if you didnt.

Puigs time is done. Simple.

As a norwegian, i hope he performs well, but at the same time i'm kinda indifferent to this whole thing, cause of the club he will play for.

 

[DonAK]

You expect them to release the whole thing including all bonuses and sign-on fees? I doubt it. That shit only comes from WikiLeaks and clubs go bananas when it goes out. Like with Messi's contract that got leaked.

Only the transfer fees are publicly reported and documented, not those bonuses and fees, right?

Nope, but these sort of things often get leaked.

If he does well enough to help stop the likes of you guys and Bayern etc. from winning more trophies in Europe it is a big win for me.

Also, you might want him to do well so he can help your NT too.

So if the fees aren’t greatly exaggerated then us buying Ferran paid for them buying Haaland…. Wild
