I too get all my impartial transfer news from *checks notes* Madrid Zone.

I also enjoy “have decided to sign Haaland”, as if it’s that easy.

I also enjoy that some random posters have taken it as gospel haha. God this summer is going to be fun!

It’s the exact same as getting news from CityXtra or CityReport really. Just news aggregators really. I’d also wager that most people are probably not taking it as gospel but Real Madrid are going to be hard to compete against for his signature

I think certain people want to be negative about things and so take any opportunity

I don't understand why anybody would even post random Tweets like that with no source whatsoever.

It appears to come from:-

cadenaser.com

Haaland, el elegido y la opción más factible para el Real Madrid

Es la opción más factible para llegar al Bernabéu este verano | Cadena SER
cadenaser.com cadenaser.com

And (if I'm reading the translation correctly) the 'reporter' doesn't mention any source and it appears to be only his opinion that RM should sign him (who'd have thunked it?). He even thinks Spurs are in for him, which is funny.

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

I wasn’t commenting on whatever opinion you had about Haaland or Podence, but on your opinion about the role you see for Torres, and it’s not my first time commenting on it. Oh and yeah, going for the starting CB of the Portuguese national team really is “thinking outside the box” huh... hehe

and nice job there on the language

The problem isn’t Madrid Zone, it’s the source they’re quoting. Even Madrid fans don’t take them seriously

Haaland transfer talk offers comfort blanket of messed-up normality

Talk of Erling Haaland moving for £100m this summer seems at odds with the reality of football.
www.football365.com www.football365.com

I fully agree with the assessment. Those behind the football transfer rumour industry are ignoring the reality. Clubs are all in some state of financial problem. Even our own model is functioning outside of normality. There will be change as a result. Something has to cover the hole created by no fans in stadiums for a full year. Clubs that have access to funding from their owners stand to be well placed. Clubs that don't have to find that money somewhere else. Clubs who were in a bit of a financial bind going into this are going to be in desperation mode.

Transfer activity and wage costs are the leavers they can pull. The budgets will be for millions of new commitment annually. That can and will get paired back.

Big question on FFP - can't see how they can enforce the repeat/aggregate losses rule when all clubs are set to report a big loss. If they make no effort to give comfort to clubs likely to breach (and it could be half or more of the CL clubs) then summer spending will be further curtailed even by clubs like us and chelsea who have owners who can spend.

I actually think if we were talking about this transfer two windows ago, the numbers would be much higher than we are discussing now

vs Schalke 20.02.2021. His coordination in the goalscoring episode is extraordinary, reminds of Van Basten

Good video to highlight how poor his first touch is(especially the very first chance), and how he doesn't link in his team mates and how low his technical skills are.



There may be some sarcasm in the above paragraph. Although he did misplace a pass at the end when his team mates decided to stop running on a counter.

My favourite moment is at 1:13, when he knocks down two Schalke defenders at once, then applies to the ref: "look, I was fouled!" :D
