Erling Haaland

[WestGorton]

We can't afford him without selling players and under Covid. Not happening.

Kerr-ching.
Break the bank for a natural goal scorer PLEASE

 

[Goater=Legend]

He be shit Against the park buses week in week out our team have to put up with.

He wouldn't be trying to take 3 or 4 touches in the box like the rest of the team do

Got height so would bring us something different. Ain't happening tho.

 

[Damanino]

Pep hates him. He reminds him on Ibra. That did not end well between them. Same agent too.

Top class striker in the making. We gonna get someone like Mahrez, 60-70m cost and about 10 goals a season instead of a 25+ goalscorer.

The kid (Moukoko) who has come on for him is meant to be unreal too he was 16 yesterday!

He’s been waiting for his debut for months. Not allowed to play in the bundesliga before he turned 16. Made his debut for the U17s when he was 12

51 goals and 11 assists in 32 games for the U19s
90 goals and 16 assists in 56 games for the U17s. 168 goal contributions in 88 games, and he turned 16 yesterday

Absolutely ridiculous stats (check transfermarkt.com if you don’t believe it)

Yes i know the stats, find it interesting that they refuse to prove his age with a test though surely they want to put the media discussions to bed and let him get on with his career.

Has to be said that Bundesliga is piss poor league. City have 10 game unbeaten run against German teams, going back to Pellegrini era...

He would face 11 man defences here. Haaland's goals would quickly dry up for sure at City.

 

[Tevez City]

Lets trust the 3 amigos ( Pep, Ferran & Txiki )

There is a reason they didn't sign him when he left Salzburg.



I heard many justifications such as ( he doesn't fit Pep's system, his agent is a bad guy ...etc )

What kind of nonsense is this? Of course we can. Financially we're in as good of a shape as anyone in the world right now.

FFP is still rife.

We have plenty of room under FFP and zero debt. How exactly do you think we were planning on signing Messi a few months back if we were up against FFP limits?

We haven't spent big on fees since 17/18. We could absolutely afford Haaland if we wanted.

I don't agree a it stands but who knows. He will end up at RM. They don't have to stick by the same rules.

He's 6'4, fast, Jesus is 5'10 and fast option's.

As long as Raiola is Haalands agent, we will never see him at City. That’s a promise.

We were never fully in for centreback Matthijs De Ligt when we needed a young top centreback, because of Mino Raiola. And we will not even bother with Haaland as long as he represents him.

More fool us in that case. Those in charge at the club are supposed to be running a business and if they won't deal with another businessman for a product that will improve us for a decade that it's petty and pathetic.

Spot on. Sometimes in business you have to deal with shithouses. You don't have to like it, or them, but if it ultimately improves your own business then sometimes you have to take the medicine.
We didnt have a problem buying Girona in partnership with Pep’s agent brother so we can’t pretend to be be too precious or sniffy about dealing with that particular industry.
If the finances don’t add up and dealing with Raiola ends up being more trouble than its worth then fair enough. But it would be insane to miss out on a generational talent because of some historical personal grudge in the boardroom

 

[Blu3m00n91]

just look at the quality of those goals. Haaland is exactly what we need
