I don’t see any strikers in the PL that have the weight and quality to substitute Kun with the exception of maybe Kane (not that he’s as good obviously).

edit: Maybe Werner too, but not realistic

Salah would be prolific for us he lives in Wilmslow so already in the area and he can play across the front 3 and takes penalties
 
Regardless of agent, he is most likely noticing how well we are playing (everyone is), and if we are actually in for him, I just can't see anywhere else being a better option for him.

If he's thinking Real Madrid, and if they are offering more money then sure, but he is so young and he will make so much money that he should be thinking about his "greatness" and City is the only option, the money will come anyways.
 
At this point I'm more worried about Dortmund qualifying for UCL and him sticking around for another season than I am of him opting for RM. We'd probably have a great chance in 2022 though.

No chance of that. It’s pretty clear that they’ve chosen to move
 
Real? Why would he want to go to a club, that is coming third in a two-team league? It would only be for money.

From what I have read, it just seem his Dad has a clear career path mapped out for him, I just don't think it is all about the highest weekly wage, and if that is the case, City are the obvious choice. I also think it is all in our hands too, I am sure he will be influenced in some way by who is successful in the champs league.

I am not sweating on this either, yes he would be an absolutely brilliant addition, but if he signs elsewhere, then so be it, we are not what he wanted, similar to Mbappe a few years back. He is a proven goal scorer, but adding him to any team, will not guarantee success, just look at Dortmond's position in their league. Add him to our squad, I am sure he will score a great number of goals, but we are playing so well as a team at the moment, our own shining light Aguero has hardly featured this season, so I will not fret if we don't get him.
 
If he went Madrid, it would just be a poorly advised move. He's 20 and he's somehow supposed to be the man alone who revives an aging Madrid side to glory. It's like throwing him to the wolv es. Moving to City, winning trophies, playing with better players under a better manager makes so much sense considering his age. He's not expected to be the hero that saves the day, he gets the time to properly develop.
 
Haha just seen this video on Twitter. He always looks clunky on the ball but I agree he is a decent finisher. I don’t rate him but if Pep and the board believe he is the one for us, I have to trust them

Based on what? I haven't seen anything saying he is definitely leaving or Dortmund is definitely selling.

For one, you wouldn’t have us, Madrid, Chelsea and others so heavily after him if there weren’t indications in that direction. And Dortmund would need to be irresponsible to miss on the chance of banking so heavily now as opposed to next year

Is there a time where it's not beneficial for newspapers to have transfer rumors? Like I'm suppose to believe he is definitely leaving Dortmund because I read about it in an english or german tabloid?

And Dortmund can basically make up what they would lose in a transfer fee by qualifying for the 2022 champions league WITH Haaland playing another season with them. They sell him this summer and then they may take a step back and finish 5th or 6th in the Bundesliga. Just saying we can't act like we know what makes the most sense financially for Dortmund.

Not sure how you can't rate him. He is averaging 1.64 goals every 90 minutes in his champs league career. That's insane. Tied with Lewandowski for most goals in last two UCL. He is 20.

It is personal preference. No stats would change my mind. I have my eyes and when I watch him he doesn’t look like a good footballer with and without the ball.
But like I also said if Pep and other decision makers in the club decide he is the player to lead us I would trust them

I've seen some arrogant know it all comments on bluemoon, but who the fuck are you to tell anyone what they should and should not comment on , it's a football forum, for comments and opinions, I gave my comments based on what I've seen from our teams play, and imo we will not go for haaland, I'm sure we won't go for podence, but IMO he would do an excellent job in our system, sorry for thinking out of the box and not just wanting the "next big thing " all the time, the same with the cb, it was koubally,or kounde, if you didn't agree you know nothing about football, well be didn't do too badly with the outside of the box thinking there did we
 
First post here, I cannot believe people are having a go about haaland’s all round game, the kid is only 20 years old and under pep his all round game would improve, this is a player who’s averaging a goal a game in the last two seasons a player who scored 8 champions league goals in 6 games for RB Salzburg and has a further 8 in 5 this season, he’d score for fun in this team, talking of bad first touches as much as I love him sterling’s first touch is up there with the worst and yet look at the career he’s made for himself whilst he’s been here all players have their weaknesses.
