Manchester City

[frank the tank]

I'd love to be as relaxed as you The kid scores a goal a game..he is ridiculous. City played with Aguero for years, it's not exactly alien to them. Reeeeally don't want them to get Haaland

i think Haaland plays a totally different game to Aguero though......

I agree that to play Haaland, City would need to change the way they play. I think Pep can do that - he had Lewandowski at Bayern so can play with a top #9 focal point striker. However, Haaland is also strong with early balls into the box. Is he strong at playing the tippy-tappy tiki-taka Pep-ball?? I am not sure. Just like Zlatan wasn't at Barcelona and was subsequently sold. On paper, City would be epic with Haaland as the focal point - and with 3 of Foden / Grealish / Bernardo / Sterling / Mahrez behind him. With KDB and Gundogan / Rodri in the middle. That is brilliant. However, it isn't the way they set up right now and you'd surely need to change to a 4-2-3-1 formation to get the best from Haaland.

I agree that Mbappe on the left hand side for them would be a better fit.

The zlatan example sums it up perfectly! Top player coming into a top team, but just didn’t fit in.

Say city change their system to fit him in… what happens when they take him off in a game- do they go back to their current system for the last 10 min? What I love about our 5 main attacking options is we can play pretty much any 3 of them and play our usual system.

It’s what I love about Tsimikas- not only is he a top top back up left back, but also plays a similar style as robbo, so we don’t need to adjust our game plan when he plays.


Again, I’m not saying that I want city to get him, and not saying that it definitely won’t work out. But I think it’s fair to say, it’s not gonna be guaranteed success either.

I thought you could only approach players during transfer period. How are they getting him now?

Well there is a tick after the word true, cannot get more concrete that that.

I find it more believable if it came from his brother Peter.

Peter would have said it himself... but there is just one thing bothering him about the deal

Raiola is a true parasite.

[RedReet]

Why does his Da get £30m?

[wiw]

Not a problem for a club that decides their own turnover figure

[Fivex]

£650K a WEEK

[Irishnev]

Why does his Da get £30m?

Because he was a **** footballer and is using his son to earn

[Irishnev]

£650K a WEEK

Probably nett, it will cost the club almost double it pre tax
