Ok. Then I confess I misunderstood and still don't really get the reasoning. But it doesn't matter, at this point I feel like I'm arguing over sophist details that I don't mean to be arguing about it's not a big deal.

Dragging a bit…power games still going on maybe?
Think it’s pretty obvious Raiola knew Haaland’s value was only going to increase and then the family and him could cash in. They knew if he went United from Salzburg we wouldn’t sell him if he reached his potential. So he’s sold to a stepping stone club who agree to all the terms and Haaland is guaranteed to play. It’s going to happen a lot more and part of the reasons why laws on agents need to be brought in.
250k per week...wow, I wasn't expecting such a large salary.
Do you believe it every time? Same goes for every club - journalists guessing themselves silly. City player wages in the last financial report was £307m across 477 staff (including the players). If every player was walking away with the reported £12m per year then we’d be struggling. Grealish was £20m / £370k a week all on his own apparently!
Awaits the Inevitable ‘but what’s paid off the books’..
Sound like he's their version of Di Maria. He has His mind else where. Came there because Spurs could pay the fee to Lyon and good wage.
All Spurs managers found issue with his attitude/commitment.
Notice how Lukaku has had his medical in Italy, and is now flying to England, quick smart?
Meanwhile, Rafa Varane....???
So you believe the united players salary but not City's?
Dont be naive.
Liverpool are smart with it. I reckon around 12-15m or so will get him. If Nat Phillips had the season he had with us, we’d have given him a new contract and struggle to sell him in 2 seasons.
Of course we don't believe the financial reports. You really think Mancini was a one off?
Wouldnt be strange if he was. Not to mention going directly to Premier League from Austrian Bundesliga. Lot of players have felt the difficulties of coming from smaller league s too soon

Varane was also on holiday. If we were doing the Varane deal this week it would likely have had similar timing.
They also gifted Pellegrini a Lowry painting when he left. They go for up to £5m. They wouldn't disclose which painting it was.
That was just the first part of his medical. He'll complete the remainder of his medical in England.Notice how Lukaku has had his medical in Italy, and is now flying to England, quick smart?

Official: Young Welsh winger and former City player Rabbi Matondo joins Cercle Brugge on loan with a purchase option.
''The truth I wasn't happy at Inter, I was talking shit. Since my second game at Inter I imagined how it would feel to leave the club. And no I have, laters.''
They bought Pep's brother a football club.
Of course, not every player's getting paid super-large salaries, but that's why we aren't talking about every single player getting 250k+ per week. I'd like to see what the base salary amount is, too, to see how much of it is variable.
By the way, I wonder why you've excluded other costs for employee benefits when other clubs' financial statements aggregate them all together.
Official: Gerard Moreno continues on with Villarreal.
Note: this is Yacine Adil, a playmaking midfielder in Bordeaux, and not Yacine Adli, who's a tricky winger/attacking player in Toulouse.
Plus if he did that he would go from saying how much he loves Dortmund to peeing Dortmund off by joining their biggest rival in Germany, well the Dortmund fans anyway as we all know that Dortmund (the club) have history in giving Bayern their best players with no fight from Dortmund whatsoever.
I always rated Shakiri. Whenever I have watched him for Switzerland or one of his clubs, he has looked decent. Why’s it not worked out? Fitness?
I would guess it doesn’t help when Salah, Mane and Firmino are always fit, never pick up injuries and Klopp wants to play them every minute as the margin of error against Guardiola and City in a league season is minuscule, so rotation is a huge gamble and therefore the likes of Shaqiri and Origi miss out.
Is that really delayed? Offer finished Sunday. Medical on Monday and flight to England. That is fast track to me.
I don't know what the problem is for Messi, it is clear that PSG are the only club willing to pay the wages he demands (or close to it anyway) unless he is hoping Pep comes to his rescue as winning the French league probably isn't such a big deal for Messi.
I'm kind of gobsmacked Roman at Chelsea ain't all over this, we all know he's got the money to pay Messi's huge wages if he really wanted to, I thought Messi would've been the signing for Chelsea he has always dreamed of, golden opportunity passing him by in my opinion.
I was wondering if he'd have to quarantine himself just like Varane did when coming from Spain.
He is fully vaccinated from what I read. He just will need to provide a negative test.
Lukaku was vaccinated during the Euros.
Sounds about right, although he has been injured a lot. I actually really like him, but we need someone better so that we can rotate without a big drop in quality.
Hopefully, him leaving means that we’re looking at alternatives.
So was Varane, but he had to quarantine himself regardless.
Does England have a hotspot rule? That seems odd that someone from Spain would quarantine but not someone from Italy?
Good move for his development. He is going to face more intense defence now.
They do. Both Italy and Spain are in the same category. The only reason Varane would have had to quarantine is if he wasn't fully vaccinated (2 doses is my guess). Let's see if Lukaku's fully vaccinated.
who is more talented in your opinion him or Dike?
