9.5-year contract > 750,000 pounds per week, Manchester City bet on Haaland, and fans are upset about Palmer & Little Spider

Some of Manchester City's actions in this year's winter window are a bit unusual, in addition to the desire to sign a number of players, they are also betting on Norwegian striker Erling Haaland on a long-term contract and a high salary.

On January 17, Manchester City officially announced that they had signed a 9.5-and-a-half-year long-term contract with Haaland until 2034. According to the latest news from the British media "talkSPORT", Manchester City's weekly salary soared to 750,000 pounds in order to persuade Haaland to give up the release clause and renew his contract until 2034, which is also the first player in the history of the Premier League to earn 500,000 pounds a week, which is worthy of the name of the first salary in the Premier League.

Many fans were puzzled by this, and even complained about Palmer and Alvarez. These fans believe that Haaland is seriously overrated, and the Norwegian center's long legs are a good hand in addition to playing counterattacks, but he is invisible in tough battles, and he does not have his back and head in tough battles, nor does he have the ability to advance with the ball and organize attacks. Haaland has been in a slump lately. In the most recent Premier League game, Manchester City was drawn 2-2 by Brentford, and Haaland was the worst-rated player on the field.

Pep Guardiola bet on Haaland and let go of technical attackers for two consecutive seasons, namely Palmer and Alvarez, who have now become the heart of Chelsea's attack, while Alvarez has led Atletico Madrid to the La Liga title, in stark contrast to Manchester City, who are struggling to compete for four in the Premier League this season. Alvarez, as the main player of the Argentine World Cup + Copa America double champion, left Manchester City to join Atletico Madrid coached by Argentine compatriot Simeone in order to play the main team, and Guardiola is bent on making Haaland, who is not qualified to play in the European Cup, play the main team, and the Norwegian center has no recent form, it is easy to be targeted, and it is difficult to eat cakes, let alone their own offensive creativity. Some fans believe that Pep Guardiola should not sell Palmer and Alvarez, and that his bet on Haaland will sooner or later make Manchester City suffer. What do you think about this?
