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

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.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

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?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.

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.You're stating that Dortmund is stubborn, but Inter and Tottenham won't be?

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.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!
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.This is where scouting and coaching come into play.

Hopefully mate. Don’t expect much this summer. But by next there is no excuse for the new guys not to have **** sorted by then.Hopefully for Utd's sake things start to change with the structure change.
I have my doubts for you so long as Ed and the Glaziers are there but time will tell.
