Can’t see it tbh. And doesn’t sound like or go with City transfer strategy over the years.

All stories indicate they'll go all in this summer, and smash records to set up the team for the next generation in the cycle and get a step ahead... Gonna be fun

Can see Haaland staying a year like Ducker says as City don’t wanna deal with a stubborn Dortmund and Riola who will likely want a release clause in again. And I can’t see City spending 80£m on Grealish and then another 50£m on Mendes. I can see City going for alternative STR like Lataro Martinez who is on the list with Lukaku and Kane.

You're stating that Dortmund is stubborn, but Inter and Tottenham won't be? Either way, for these top strikers, it will be an extremely difficult market. Also, isn't Messi still part of the equation? OR did he sign a new contract?
 
Gaughan & Hirst have us not giving a ****, and going for both. We've no problem with Dortmund or Riola (hes still a **** though).

Messi will have to indicate he wants to move, they will press ahead with plans regardless and make that offer if its needed.

Martinez contract expires next summer so could be an easy and cheaper option. Barca were quoted 70/80m last summer. I really can’t see any 100m 100m+ signings this summer.

If reports out of Spain about the meetings with Madrid and Barca today are true about what Riola and his farther and Haaland want then no clubs paying that. Plus his transfer fee on top!

This is where scouting and coaching come into play. Find or produce the next Haaland. Same reason united walked away from Sancho and rightly so this summer. The fees are astronomical in today's climate.

There after a similar fee what we had to pay Riola when we got Pogba. Which was close to 40m commission. Then he apparently wants to be paid as one of the top 3 footballers in world football. Then 100m+ transfer fee. Lol I don’t blame anyone looking elsewhere lol. Especially City if they are not even desperate for him.

United did what now mate? 🤣
 
Haaland and Mbappe going head-to-head for the league/ Messi/Ronaldo crown that's soon to be vacant, over the next 4/ 5-years, would be fun.
