Can you imagine City with Haaland and Grealish in their squad? Would be almost unbeatable!!
Approaching £2B spent on players if they sign them two. All legal and above board of course.
Haaland maybe but not seen much of him, just media opinion. Grealish no. Not needed, better areas of team to spend money on and would be no better than what they already have. Slows the ball down too much, wouldn’t fit IMO.
Aguero was the very worst of the Premier League. A total mercenary only ever in it for the money who knew the dodgy means by which his employers acquired their wealth, and on top of this was one of the dirties players in the league. Glad to see him gone!

So you support the slavery of the UAE and the forced subjugation of millions of people so that the Emptihad can parade billion pounds worth of players like the mercenary Aguero. Pathetic mouthpiece

Pedantic.28 in the summer if he signs for them.
He'll be 28 when the proposed transfer would happen, and when he played his first game.

Just whip open the chequebook yet again. A sad state of affairs. Sadly the chequebook will never be able to buy you a big history or tradition. Your history and tradition is a Championship yo-yo team. It's also your future when the oil money runs out
Jealous much
It's a very interesting question as to what will happen when the world becoms less reliant on oil. The economy of many middle eastern countries may well collapse and certain familes may well see their riches evaporate, though it's just as likely they'll start investing in other things. People that rich rarely become poor.
When oil money runs out.... like that's going to happen tomorrow lol
Rumours are that Haaland wants £600k a week. There is no way City would pay him anything like that.
Poor old Stoned, trying his best to keep a positive spin on mid-table Man u's prospects of signing this prodigious talent.
"City, City, the best team in the world"
"City, City, the best team in the world"
It must be a shallow league if 2nd place is considered mid table.
At least try to make your wind up comments make a little sense. It's embarassing for City fans who actually try.

except on a wider basis they are worse than Nottingham Forest because they have fewer European Trophies... and have never qualified for the world Club Championship.

City fans are not bothered, neither is coming, we have Ferran and Delap and lots of defenders and midfielders who can score goals.
Aguero left because he and Messi want to play together in their final years, Pep agrees because he still doing some favours to his old clubs, Barca and Bayern.

Might as well buy both since no one seems to regulate how much they spend
What are you on about. They are clearly profitable, just look at the new £100 million sponsorship deal they just signed for the corner flag.
Ha Ha HA
City could have an A and B team make top 4 "excluding" injuries. It's not a surprise given their net spend over the last five seasons is half a billion.
Money is killing the competitiveness in football and the prem. Until transfer/salary caps are implemented with significant fines/taxes, then we are just gonna move further away from being competitive sport.

I get that you might be understandably bitter and unhappy about City’s financial power. If I was a fan of a rival team, I’m sure I would be too.
The thing that’s a bit silly about this post, though, is that you know it is literally untrue. City have been extensively prosecuted by UEFA in relation to how much we spend. It very much is regulated, and we *cannot* buy both.
Just don’t exaggerate. :)

Oh diddums. No one seems to mention Man U are in £450 million of debt but still manage to spend billions.
Kane??? No thanks,he is nowhere near good enough to pull on the sky blue shirt and certainly wouldn’t fit into the squad!
apart from FFP apparently....which we have fully complied with

Kane better option despite Haaland being younger and better. City gel as a team rather than having key individuals and I cant see Pep allowing a 20 year old to come in and earn more than the established stars. This is before we get started on Raiola.
If you see the Bundesliga, then retract this comment. Raiola, fair enough.
Haaland is no way better than Kane! If you think that you haven't been paying attention.
I'd love to see Haaland at Man Utd but seeing all the fun and games Raiola brings re Pogba, I'd be happy to miss out on him (which is likely what'll happen anyway!). Whoever signs Haaland will get all the extra baggage and it becomes a side show any team could do without.
Harland has a brilliant record but suggesting he’s better than Kane is quite ridiculous. He’s playing in a much weaker league and has only been there for just over a year. He doesn’t have the playmaking ability that Kane does.
Potentially he could become almost as good as Kane but currently Kane is a lot better.

But I thought Haaland likes to play in front of many fans?
I know for sure he wants to win the Champions league one day and as proven, that is very unlikely at City.
although I am sure he will cherish a treble of league cups if he won that!

Haven't seen him live but he looks massive, hope City don't just use him as a big target. Makes teams very one dimensional
If we’re serious about FFP maybe there should be a limit of up to, say, £100m spend per club per transfer window, and wages no higher than £100k per week so clubs can’t overpay the best players, allowing other clubs a shot at attracting the best talent
The latest news on FFP is that UEFA are going to scrap it! I think Man City getting off with breaking FFP rules basically killed it any way.
Haaland will probably end up at Real Madrid.

Financial fair play at its finest. I would love to see how these top Managers would fair with a team with no spending power and then see how wonderful they are. Mourinho with Porto and Klopp with Dortmund are the closest you get to this, with Pep only ever with money.
Pep has Improved every player at City... Dont agree tell me who has digressed.
All lies of course.

Would love to see pep manage a club where he hasn't got the luxury of unlimited cash flow. Let's see how he would cope at spurs
the same could apply to jurgen the german and jose the whinger
I would love to see Messi take Yeovil Town to the Premier league, but sometimes you are that good you don`t have to start at the bottom!
you mean manage a club like Southend united
I’d like to see Big Sam have a go at managing a small supermarket, I reckon he’d be pretty good.
I’d also be interested in seeing Peter Crouch put up some shelves. His height would be useful but does he have the full range of practical skills?

Barca didn't spend much under Pep, they had top players coming through their academy. Also, Madrid kept spending and couldn't touch Barca under Pep. Man United keep spending and are still useless. You need a top coach to manage a top team. It would be interesting to see what he would do with a team like spurs, but I'm sure if given time he'd do quite well.
I'd love to see my local traffic warden manage Man City. Bit of a straw man argument there chap.
The same Pelegrini did at West Ham. No money no success.
Me too Jon. I don’t mind city or their fans but you do think if they decide to buy players such as Hareland or Grealish then what hope have the others got? As for Pep I’d love to see him keep Rotherham in the championship. I rate Neil warnock as good as Pep
Why on earth would anyone want to go to Spurs?
Only possible reason could be an allergy to silver.

Pahahaha, you’ve got more chance of juggling soot if you think Pep would go to the y i d s - he’s a serial winner ...... how many years since the spuds put anything in their trophy cabinet? (Apart from dust!) ????????
Better than what you've had
Yeah, I agree, it would be an interesting experiment. Similarly I’d be interested to see how well Rafa Nadal does at Wimbledon if he competes wearing flip flops and a mankini. But understandably, as a top pro, he’d rather compete with the best resources.
So based on that you or me just blow money on whoever we want and hey presto....you win trophies, what an idiotic sense of reasoning you have, name one club in the world who wouldn’t have him as a coach?

If Haaland doesn't go to Man Utd, are they still like the biggest club in the world? At least they still have Ole & Martial! ????
Man City don't need Kane but if he ever wants to win anything then Kane needs City or practically any other big club aboard.
Kane would be absolutely perfect for Man City. He’s more of a Pep player than Aguero ever was. They’re already a very good side but with Kane they’d be the best in the world by a distance.
Kane's already 'aboard' a club...the problem is they sink every season!????
Man City still haven't won the Champions League. They need all they can get the poors.
Spurs have had more CL finals than City. In fact, aside from Liverpool, which other English side made it that far in the last 10 years?
no thanks....not for me... and a sizeable amount of other City fans

City are buying the title now, United did it for years, then Chelski. That is the way football works there will be exceptions, Wenger built arsenal under cost, Klopp built liverpool undercost and then of course the foxes did it for free
Not sure who you support but City won a European trophy before L.f.c. and an f.a. cup before Chelsea where formed! so where does 15 years fit in?
Dry your tears, chum(p).
It is "real" Steve, I've eaten the pies & sat in seats, but well done there - by using the phrase "invented by Arabs" you have managed to insult the legacy of St Marks & Ardwick who created the team in 1880 & renamed it in 1894, insulted City fans like me who followed City to league, cup & European success in the 50s and 60s and also made yourself sound like a bigot & slightly Islamophobic.

I would have thought Aguero would have deserved more respect and got to announce himself at the end of the season he would be leaving but it is all about the money and timing to get the new man in.I would love to see him stay and go to Man Utd.Surely they have got to be interested and after Tevez it would be quite amusing but i think he is going back to Atleti.

Despite having 'no' fans our attendance records aren't bad compared to most. Even when in the 3rd tier. Regarding history go read up on it before you make more of a fool of yourself.
Fenway?
But they seen how Manchester United bought their success, with no local fans.
City have way more fans than United in Manchester. No contest.
At this time Man City is making history like Liverpool and Man Utd made history during their great era's. As if holding a mirror up to society, the economics of the game have changed significantly and who really knows if it's for better or for worse. But leaving the financial aspect aside, you can't argue with the success being achieved on the playing field.
How do you know how many fans they have?
84,569 biggest outside of Wembley 30,000 average in the old third division one of the top 5 best supported clubs in England for longer than I can remember.
SonofBilic- Whose money is clean? If you have enough to buy a premiership football club there will be some exploited downtrodden workers somewhere probably all on furlough at the tax payers expense. Aguero was/is a great player and deserves all the accolades and the statue and I am a lifelong West Ham fan.
Way to undermine your argument by comparing slave labour and human rights abuses with 'people on furlough'.
I was Manchester born and bred, If I was born 200 miles south I would have been a Hammers fan, just feel we have more in common than the other London clubs!

He doesn’t like united because of what Roy Keane did to his dad. That is allegedly one reason he didn’t go to you last season.
His dad played for city when Erling was a boy and he also supported city as a boy. Until recently he was active in a Man City fan group in Norway.

Haaland maybe but not seen much of him, just media opinion. Grealish no. Not needed, better areas of team to spend money on and would be no better than what they already have. Slows the ball down too much, wouldn’t fit IMO.

I don't see why anyone should be paying more than £65m for him.
Surely his priority is about going to a place that he wants to play, not about making Dortmund and his agent as much money as possible. So he should force through a move to the club he wants. He doesn't owe Dortmund anything.
Also the higher the fee paid for him the more pressure, he should think about that.

Erling Haaland would be an exciting signing but a bit speculative for the amount of money Dortmund would want for him. Not easy to envisage a forward from Norway being prolific in the Premiership. Harry Kane a top striker and a safer choice and he surely would take the move because Spurs are probably not going to win anything whilst he plays for them. Jack Grealish also got to be after for a move.
Haha on the off chance you're not trolling, might I point out Ole was prolific.
Also, imagine if someone said "can't see an Ivorian being prolific in the PL" and decided not to sign Drogba.
Anyone who would prefer Kane in their team over Haaland is smoking better stuff than I am.

This ole chestnut again! The "littlewoods family" never "propped up Liverpool" as they were Everton supporters and John Moores was the chairman of Everton! He never started funding Liverpool until they won the league and FA cup in the 1960's. But do not let truth get in the way of your nonsense!
As for Haaland, he will go to the team who offers the most for him in trems of tranfer fee and wages

Just whip open the chequebook yet again. A sad state of affairs. Sadly the chequebook will never be able to buy you a big history or tradition. Your history and tradition is a Championship yo-yo team. It's also your future when the oil money runs out
It's a very interesting question as to what will happen when the world becoms less reliant on oil. The economy of many middle eastern countries may well collapse and certain familes may well see their riches evaporate, though it's just as likely they'll start investing in other things. People that rich rarely become poor.
Haaland is way better than Harry Kane. Haaland has everything. Additionally Jadon Sancho recently said that Haaland was the fastest player at Dortmund. But he won't come to England. He'll most likely end up at Real Madrid as a replacement for Benzema.
What amazes me about Haaland is that Ole didnt make him his first signing at united for peanuts after managing him at molde? Surely must give ole sleepless nights!
Haaland would never play for 'nited.
Deal was in the bag but Woodward intervened and stopped it. A few years ago Mourhino was offered Mbappe for United at £60 million but he wouldn't pay that much for an 18 year old!!! Gotta love United's decision making!
He's got worse nightmares playing for him than worries about one he didn't sign.
Poor old Stoned, trying his best to keep a positive spin on mid-table Man u's prospects of signing this prodigious talent.
"City, City, the best team in the world"

Haaland is a very talented player i cant argue about that.
as for joining city as per some comments over being a big club is laughable
as sterling gave away fa cup tickets to fans as it was admitted you could not sell them.
anyway now lock down is easing and the rule of six is allowed that means i will have more in my garden then your stadium.
and you call scouse fans plastic!! utter fake club.

Boring!
Nonsense. Until recently, Man City had the biggest top flight crowd. Spurs topped it at Wembley. The problem is normal City fans are priced out because plastic from London can afford obscene season tickets, and these plastics go to five games a season.
No I'm not a Man City fan.

I doubt you've got that many friends judging by your comments.

Never called the scouser Liverpool fans plastic myself.
Only the majority of English based Liverpool fans that live in Devon and Shropshire. The rest just like destroying other teams busses.
Which are you? The plastic south variety or the bus destroying variety?

Ha Ha Ha!
The Scousers will probably be in other peoples gardens, after stealing other peoples property telling everyone how special they are as if anyone outside the BBC or Norway is interested.
Man city may buy halland. There top transfer 62m though tax,agents fees went on top.Dortmund would put 120m-150m transfer fee with tax,agents fees on top. City may baulk at that. man utd's woodward did not buy sancho at 108m and extra's on top. Funny though uefa are changing debt to allow clubs to accumulate debt through transfers. Not long after barca's 1.37b and real's 901m debt were discovered.
Uefa are a corrupt organisation Platini the former president and ffp inventor is completely banned from football so no shock at what you say.
Obviously just a coincidence.
As usual its to keep the established "elite" at top, MU, Barce, Madrid etc... even though they are in debt and still borrowing!
If it wasn't for this shambles we would have an even better league, Villa and Leeds would of been able to spend more for example.
