    Sky sports (owned by American conglomerate Comcast) , the very entity that started the Americanization of English football is complaining about it all of sudden because Haaland signed a long term contract.
    Really? 😄

    I personally have no issue with the contract.
    I mean Haaland is a massive asset and this way it gives City the control if he ever wants to leave. Removes the threat of a player running down his contract like a lot of top players have done over recent times.

    Haaland at 24, 256 goals + 54 assists in 313 games, that’s 0.99 goal contributions per game
    Messi at 24, 197 goals + 84 assists in 326 games, that’s 0.86 goal contributions per game
    Ronaldo at 24, 132 goals + 66 assists in in 362 games, that’s 0.54 a goal contribution per game
    Haaland has the best minutes per goal ratio of any player to compete in the champions league scoring on an average of every 64 minutes, fastest player to 10,20 and 30
    Champion league goals most of these broken before joining city, Quickest and youngest player to reach 50 goals in Bundesliga history, broke the epl top
    scoring record for 1 season in his first season
    Haaland has played most of his career in weaker teams compared to Barca and Man United
    playing with the like of Durtmund until he joined
    city and with city wasting his talents by passing the ball around 1000x times instead of giving him a through ball or cross

    Too a degree I agree with the Americanisation comment but it may also be the pendulum swinging back. Teams used to comprise of players who remained with their clubs forever. At some point, it became more acceptable for players to be sold to other clubs and that became the norm. Maybe now, things may return to the time players identified themselves with a certain club and became a recognised part of their history. I mean, what club should Ronaldo be identified with when he retires from football? Man Utd, Real Madrid, his current club? Messi was best known at Barcelona, but then there was PSG. Mbappé? I am a long time fan of an NHL club and as I was growing up, the players remained basically the same year after year. Now, they are from all over the place and come and go when the business decides there's a profit to be made. Maybe it's time for clubs to become recognisable again.

And it's one of the things people complain about the most here in the US. Fans like to see important players stay for a long time and establish a history. In some cases, build a dynasty. Very confusing content here.

    Why are City "Trendsetters"?
    Chelsea came up with the blueprint first, to get around that soppy FFP and now the rest are following.
    Just like when Abramovich came in, gave Mourinho a blank chequebook and told him: "Spend what you need, just win me trophies".
    He did that and those that could afford i,t followed that blueprint
    "We have come up with the FFP to create a level playing field".
    No you haven't!!
    Rich Clubs are getting richer and poorer Clubs are getting poorer.
    The ones outside the say, top 6 are being punished, while the top 6 are receiving as good as no punishment at all, in any of the Leagues.
    Man City got a miserly fine for their wrong doings, £42m, with £32m suspended, making it £10m, which would not even keep Haaland in bootlaces for a Season, mean while, you have Derby, Bolton, Wigan and the like, not only with fines, but points deduction, which nearly sent them into Liquidation and they are still suffering from, given what Leagues they are now in and apparently that is fair.
    Meanwhile, you have CFC, who I do work for, so trying to stay objective, who "were" in trouble themselves, sell a couple of Hotels and that is the end of that.
    And then we have City, 115 charges hanging over their heads and allowed to carry on as usual.
    "We came up with the FFP to create a level playing field", my cute butt.
    Sure you did....Nothing has changed the status quo and if anything it is even less fair and one-sided now, than it was before it all.
    They can change the rules all they like, these big Clubs pay their Lawyers millions for a reason.
    Whatever that soppy FFP, etc. comes up with, you can bet the Lawyers have already come up with ways around it.
    The big Clubs will continue to get away with it and the smaller Clubs will continue to be punished.
    Soon there will not be a 1st and 2nd English Division, maybe not even a Championship.... that FFP would have killed them off.
