He might just be locking himself in for the years getting back up from League 2.

That’s mental. He’ll he 33/34 when that runs out. I bet there is a release clause somewhere if Real Madrid come sniffing.

 

no release clause 

 

[Gemmill 47715]

He might get a few goals in League 2 tbf, if Roy Keane is to be believed. 

[Gemmill 47715]

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.

Must be worried that Arsenal need a striker.

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. 

[Holden McGroin 7048]

Im not even sure why a 9.5 year contract was floated as an idea. Surely 4 or 5 would have done. It's better for Haaland than Man City.

i get that the maths is impossible? 

 

9.5 years means we don't have to spend 100m on a replacement in 5 years. and if he does go, we get a decent fee.

of course if he gets even better ....  maybe his link up play improves or maybe we get Sam Allardyce in and he plays the percentages and we start crossing the ball more...

[Gemmill 47715]

It'll be long ball stuff in League 2 so he'll love it down there. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'm continuing until I get a bite.

Man United will still probably jam a result against us in the league 2 derby

 

[LondonBlue 861]

If City sign Marmoush, Khusanov and Reis in this window (as is looking likely), they will still have a net spend over 100m LESS than any of Man Utd, Arsenal, Chelsea or Spurs since the arrival of Pep. With a slightly better return on silverware. Boyhood dreams.

at least he's using tax payers money well by buying it in Spons.

 

[Gemmill 47715]

I hope he hated every minute of that forced interaction. 

[Toonpack 10596]

Probably got a quick pegging in the bogs

[ewerk 31749]

Fitting in just like one of the lads.

love  them or hate them.  i've long thought that he's one of the most balanced / sussed of the royals

 

 

[wykikitoon 21749]

Balanced in a way he's never lived a 'normal' life and had a nonce as an uncle.

[Gemmill 47715]

Of the current crop, I'd let him go last or second last in front of the firing squad.

He's a cunt, he's got a notoriously short fuse/bad temper and is widely rumoured to have slapped his Mrs about.

 

The only one with anything "normal" about him is the ginger one.

[trophyshy 7117]

Doesn't he also like it up the arse?  Not that there's anything wrong with that. 

 

No wonder his grandmother died. And his grandfather.  Dirty, bald bastard.

Nothing normal about that cunt either, the French certainly got one thing correct.
