    Manchester City's director of football, Txiki Begiristain, says Erling Haaland's "dedication, professionalism, humility and desire" are a true reflection of what the club strives to achieve daily.

    Begiristain, who will depart City in the summer, said: "Everyone at the club is absolutely delighted that Erling has signed his new contract. The fact he is signed for so long demonstrates our commitment to him as a player, and his love of this club.

    "He has made an incredible impact already in his time here and his amazing numbers and records speak for themselves.

    "In addition to his outstanding natural talent and ability, Erling's dedication, professionalism, humility and desire to keep getting better sum up what we all strive to achieve at Manchester City.

    "He is one of the finest strikers in world football, but Erling is still very young and will only continue to improve working under Pep and his coaching team. If he works hard, which I know he will, he will create an incredible legacy at this football club.

    "Now he can focus on his game and continuing to play a huge part in helping us try to achieve even more success."

    Manchester City striker Erling Haaland has signed an unprecedented deal to keep him at City until 2034.

    He also broke Alan Shearer and Andy Cole's long-standing Premier League record for the most goals scored in a single season (36).

    A masterclass to tie him down for so long, or is a decade too long?

    We asked for you what one thing - good or bad - that nobody is talking about at Manchester City but should be.

    Here are some of your comments:

    Mike: The elephant in the room is a replacement for Rodri. Even now our activity in the transfer market is around defenders and a backup striker. Zubimendi was available but now he looks as if he is going to Arsenal. We are dragging our feet over Ederson at Atalanta. Is it that we are just afraid of upsetting Rodri or that Pep Guardiola thinks we can survive without him?

    Boza: We do not have the hunger that we used to have. The reason Liverpool sit top is because their team wants it more, otherwise we have a better squad than Liverpool. The second we get our hunger to win back we will be on form again.

    Brian: Manchester City are now playable. Other teams have found the Achilles heel. The high-line is not easily defended and too much possession means that teams now push on in the counter-attack. Is the Pep gameplan no longer an asset?

    Jahn: We need more clean sheets. I love Ederson, but it seems he is no longer at his best.

    Kevin: It needs to be acknowledged that Gundogan's return has been an unmitigated mistake. His contribution has been ineffective and is miles away from his previous contributions. The end of his contract can't come soon enough.

    Roger: The bigger picture of not having a succession plan in place for either ageing players or coaching staff will bite.
