Don't agree. We've got a powerful bargaining tool as in 15% of Sancho, and quite likely another if the narrative of Haaland having a soft spot for City is in any way accurate.


I just mean 100 mill deals with prick agents are rarely done in March

Unless Alfie has convinced top brass at City that he’ll definitely come. Who knows.

I certainly agree with you about Raiola, but at the end of the day, it's up to the player where he goes. All Raiola can do is try and make as much as he can for himself out of the deal. But we are 15% ahead of everyone else, plus Real and Barca are broke, and I don't believe rags are an option.
That doesn't leave that many who could afford him, and who he's willing to play for, so if Haaland has decided he needs a bigger pond to swim in, I see no reason that an agreement wouldn't have been put in place.
I know we're all used to not being able to compete with Real and Barca, but look at it from a neutral point of view, and we are his best option.

I don't think we will land Hartland read this from his agent.

Raiola and Pep Guardiola boast of one of the longest-running feuds in world football. The Italian agent called Guardiola, a “coward” and a “dog” back in 2015. He spoke about the Spaniard again in the interview, saying “As for Mr Guardiola, I’ve closed the book already a long time ago. Everybody knows what I think of him personally and he can say what he thinks for me personally.”

Also in the same interview said he will not do business with the scum either.

I’m sure FIBD mentioned that we’d bought a Raiola player since 2015 though.

His agent is the only disadvantage that City have. But at the end of the day, the player goes where he wants to go. So Raiola isn't calling the tune.

Widespread reports that Haaland plus father in Barcelona meeting Laporta. I don’t see how they can afford him short of an absolute fire sale.

Haaland doesn't appear to be there, just his father and agent.

How can a club that is 1 billion in debt can sign Haaland?

I've seen a few reports (after 12-00 so not April Fools) that while Raiola is holding talks in Barcelona over Haaland he's not talking to any Barcelona representatives and they're NOT in the race to sign him.

I can see Haaland and his agent flirting with many clubs.

This is going to be one hell of a circus
