I thought Rico Lewis was a full back? He doesn’t look upto it to me, at the moment. I’ve never been that impressed.

he's a luxury player imo. when the team is ticking over nicely he can play attacking midfield but thats about it for me.  nice close control control but short as fuck.

 

he's "one of our own" so he gets that standard bit of extra grace that that bracket gets.

Our “one of our own” players get blamed for all of our shortcomings. You treat ‘em real nice like over in that there wild (north) west.

Haaland on £500k per week btw. 

 

That'll get Isak twitching more than any shit patter from a pundit will.

it's staggering (if it's to be believed) but let me ask you this...

 

Would you pay peak Alan Shearer that much if he was leading your line today?

 

similar scenario in that he's among the very best and a boyhood fan.

City are taking all the risk. If Haaland does a Wilshere or Sterling and massively drops off the pace in a few years he's still going to be raking in mega bucks and City will be stuck with him.

You pay the going rate, don't you. We're talking about numbers where it's just impossible to wrap your head around in terms of "is he worth that" etc. 

 

If he gets you promoted from League 2 to the PL in consecutive seasons, you'd argue he probably is.
