Erling Haaland

[Keeper!]

I think it's us.

Yes I know there is a lot of Kane chatter but that seems to be coming from his camp as opposed to City themselves.

I believe Kane is a second choice if Dortmund doesn't budge which they will eventually given they won't lose him for 70 next summers.

Not to mention Kane doesn't fit the profile we are looking for.

I hope your right, both great options but Haaland is the one I think would be prefect for us long term.

 

[Mr. Wednesday]

Yeah that was a bizarre interview, like 2 naughty kids failing really badly at keeping a secret.
All the noise around Kane at the moment but that certainly makes you feel there could be a few twists yet.

 

[Coatigan]

That’s exactly what I was thinking!

He almost looks like he’s taking the piss and stifling a smile as he’s saying it - and the interviewer is struggling to keep a straight face too.

If anything, it makes me feel even more like he knows the exact opposite of what he’s saying is true.

I find it baffling how anyone watching that would blindly take the words completely at face value as evidence he’s staying til the end of his contract.

Thought the same watching it.

 

[Coatigan]

He's saying nothing we didn't already know and the kind of statement all footballers tend to come out with in order to respect their current club.
Means fuck all in the grand scheme of things.

Perhaps.

Yet Kane says a lot of the exact same things, and that means is nailed on to arrive here next week.

 

[Coatigan]

Every time I see this thread at the top of the page I get all excited thinking there's an update, only to left disappointed.

There will be that one time though. Thats all it takes.

 

[I'm Blue]

There will be that one time though. Thats all it takes.

That’s why I keep coming back : )

 

[Keeper!]

We have. Our pot is huge with a heated seat and solid gold handle. And the others can all fuck off the pauper bastards.

Come on City, fucking blow everyone out the water.

Fools are parted easily from their money.

 

[Semper aggressus]

Fools are parted easily from their money.

Indeed they are. But I’m sure we won’t be foolish, just ruthless.

 

[Keeper!]

Buyers market like never before, but we have to be hard, we have cash , little or no clubs do.

 

[Plain Speaking]

In the transfer betting markets we have gone from nailed on favourites to 40/1 outsiders to land Haaland this summer :-(

Maybe the bookies have good reason to believe we’re getting Kane instead.

Ha, only just watched that. That was funny.

 

[GX Blue]

Maybe the bookies have good reason to believe we’re getting Kane instead.

This is the one market where the bookies can have their pants pulled down.
One transfer exclusive in a tabloid and that 40 disappears into odds on again.

Hes 40/1 with Betfair and Paddy Power.
11/8 William Hill. Sky Bet 3/2.

I think it’s still very possible. Bang £100 on and get £4000 the day he signs!
What a day that would be....

Or just go for the 10er like me. 40s is superb value. Especially considering there’s not many horses in this race.

**UPDATE - The 40/1 has gone. Back to 6/4 favs again**

200 million offer sunday morning

 

[lonestay]

Give Dortmund their asking price whatever it is. We can play false 9s or invent a new system and call it what you want, but what we need is a goalscorer, an ice cold finisher someone who actually enjoys sticking the ball in the net, the type of striker that can live on scraps and convert those scraps on a regular basis, it was Kun in his pomp it isn't Sterling but it should be Haaland .

 

[RayCTID]

Haaland isn't busting gut to leave Dortmund just yet. As far City was concerned they were probably waiting to seeing if Dortmund were qualifying for the Champions League

 

[I'm Blue]

This is the signing, not Kane.
Haaland would give us another dimension, big, powerful and would bully defenders.
Kane wouldn’t change all that much from what we’ve done before.
We can’t be that far off the price it would take to get him considering what Kane will cost.
A must.

 

[depps]

Give them the money!

 

[RayCTID]

Give them the money!

Not that easy. They have another season in the Champions League. We could gamble and wait 12 months but the way the Champions League went I am not prepared for that.

 

[Jamo Mcfc]

Get him in at any costs, big game player, quick powerful and deadly in front of goal, he’s absolutely unbelievable and could offer 10 years of service.

Stop this kane nonsense, he’s a big game bottler and after what we’ve seen tonight I can just imagine him to have sat in between the two defenders for 90 minutes seeing little of the ball.

I’ll obviously support kane if comes and I’m sure he’d score a lot of goal but will be massively disappointed if we don’t try to do everything in our power to bring haaland in
