Lol!!!!

I assume it’s Raiola trying to start a bidding war, but I wouldn’t put it past Madrid to have found a way of financing it

I went to the As website for context and there is no Raiola interview there. The main story is about how Madrid might want to sign Lewandowski. And that story explicitly says Mbappe is their main target.
I need context before commenting but the Raiola quotes are always funny.
Like I’ve always said, we won’t be outspent for this bid.

Okay even without reading I can tell what this is about just based on the context of the cover. It’s a response to Perez’s comments that Madrid can’t make big signings without the Super League

More bollocks about Pogba.

He sounded more desperate to keep Cavani who links there play up better than anyone else in their team..

 

[Coatigan]

Of course they do. They always do and always will. It is utterly naive, nae, moronic, to think otherwise.

Doesn't mean he would end up there but certainly won't be for lack of money if he doesn't.

Here's the link to that interview. The real quote is:
"- Can Madrid afford Haaland?
- I don't know, because I didn't study your finances. But I believe yes. I think every club can afford it. But the question is: can Madrid afford not to buy Haaland? And Barça?"

Hes more of a creator for Villa than a finisher, hes got 6 goals in the prem this season and 10 assists only behind KDB and Kane. when he gets into those positions to score he will look for the pass instead. whats good about him this season is his dribbling i rate Raz but Grealish at dribbling is easily one of the best in the prem he just glides past players its why he is fouled so much one of those players where if he gets going only way to stop him is to foul him.

Finishing wise he dosent really think about it if hes one on one, he knows how to find the net. its a shame he plays for Villa because if he played for a Bayern or a Real madrid and the attack didnt have to go through him i think he could be looking at Double figures in goals. there was a goal last season against the Rags where he cuts in and curls the ball in the top of the net. I think hed bag a load of goals for us.

Nah, he's just a right footed Marez.


Which is a very good thing btw.

It would terrify any defence having Marez and Grealish cutting in with over lapping full backs and Haaland hovering in the area. Add in Foden and KdB on the edge of the box and what a sight that will be.

This interview made me feel pretty good...

 

[skillman]

In the interview he:

1) Said Pep issues aren’t actually issues
2) Said Bayern make a one team league
3) Said PSG play in the worst league
4) Mentioned us as ‘getting to being an elite club’
5) Said Madrid and Barca can afford Haaland
6) Said Haaland is interested in goals and trophies


Based on that, we tick both boxes Haaland wants, he sees us as an elite club (a bollocks statement because I doubt what Mino thinks about us would change anything here), he’s namedropped Pep specifically.

Add to that the positives we already have with Haaland supporting us as a kid and his dad playing for us - it’s a very positive interview IMO.

 

[WRicko]

Sounds like he prefers PSG to us why ?

How did you decipher that lol

 

[Mayor West]

Probably because they are more willing to pay him his ludicrous fees

If you read the interview, he mentions Mbappe and Madrid more than once — he knows that’s their main target

You got that from “PSG play in the worst league”?
