I can't see Chelsea not ending up with Lukaku - they want him, he wants to leave now Conte's gone, and Inter want to sell to make money. If we don't get Haaland, he'll stay at Dortmund and then end up at either Madrid or Bayern next year.
 
I was thinking about this lad an undoubtedly brilliant striker in dortmund there style of play suits him on the counter like Chelsea but not us as we have seen the way to beat us is defend for your life and then counter would haaland get as many goals playing inside a box with 10 other players most of his goals have been of a counter attack

Would take him some time to match his Bundesliga numbers in the PL, but he`s easily the best young striker in the world and he would easily walk right into our 11. I`ve watched nearly every performance of him since he was 16/17, and his positioning and attacking runs are incredible. He`s always at the right place at the right time and a deadly finisher. Potentially the most promising young striker of the decade. 20 goals in his first 14 CL apps is incredible. Haaland is twice the player Kane was at the same age. I`ve never wanted a player this badly since Aguero, Pep would make him the best striker in the world

In that scenario, Kane is the ultimate box player, coupled with superior aerial ability.

I'm worried Chelsea are quite uncomplicated when they want deals done, off the back of this win.

Hazard chose Chelsea because they won the Champions League that summer and someone like Haaland could be persuaded by similar?

My concern stems from Chelsea having players such as Werner, Abraham and Odoi who could all be useful makeweights, might even be open to playing in Germany.

Kane is less complicated for us because he has made the first move.

I also wonder if Pep thinks Grealish can play as a six, because that info won't settle down.

He certainly has the energy levels and ability to play through the lines?

I remember when Fern was bought, he played far more advanced for Shakhtar and was never perceived as a defensive midfielder.

If Chelsea can get him that means he is available.....which measn we should be at the front of the queue......i thought that the issue with getting Haaland or not was availablity this summer......if its a straight choice between Kane or Haaland it shouldnt even need thinking about on any level...ability, potential, marketing, adaptability pace, pressing ...haaland trups kane in almost every category (certainly off the pitch) and in lots on it.....

We have players to we can offolad.....Mahrez being one who is at the right age and point in his contract to offload

We have a ready made place fo him...he walks into our team as a starter.....Chelsea have Werner, Harvetz pulisic and Girroud along with the ones you mention as well

IF he is available this season we HAVE to be at the front of the queue......it would be a big mistake not to.

IF Chelsea think hey have a sho then they must have had encouragement from Haaland....and us likewise....the issue for chelsea is surely the same as the one for us....Dortmund wont sell this summer....

I beleive this is where we need to "use" Raiola and his history of unsettling players/clubs to our advantage

My reasoning was an acknowledgement that Haaland's game would be more readily suited to Chelsea's set-up?

I just posed the question that maybe Haaland may be persuaded by that, certainty joining the Champions of Europe, as Hazard was.

There are also other considerations to factor.

Dortmund absolutely detest City and would rather do business with anyone else but us if it is just a question of asking price to let him leave this summer.

Tuchel is obviously a former Dortmund manager and will have some degree of affection towards him from their executives?

Re Mahrez, he is one of the highest paid players in the Premier League and would not be an easy player to shift at the age of 29 and with two years left on his agreement, so we need to be realistic which players who would want to leave and also in a short space of time.

Our surplus players won't be interested in a move to Germany as makeweights, but Chelsea possibly have a few who might be up for it, including Werner.

Most telling, you rightly identify Haaland outstrips Kane on most things off the pitch, but not where it matters, being an established Premier League striker.

City and Kane is a perfect fit right now and unless something dramatic now changes, I don't see how he isn't the primary target.

I suspect our buying policy this summer is tailored specifically to Pep continuing to win trophies in the here and now.

Kane has more miles on the clock but that makes him even hungrier right now to win trophies.

I understand all that but as you have alluded to in the past.....where Haaland goes will be his and his dads decsion....no one elses.....so surely that puts us infront of chelsea...he would only go there if we ddint show interest.

Mahrez also made comments earlier in the season IIRC about playing time..similar to Laporte...if he wants to go we would surely find a way.....but I take your points...I just get the feeling he may want to go

Haaland for me is the superior player ON the pitch as well..he has a higher ceiling than Kane as well. Can Kane do the press as required? is he mobile? Does he have injruy concerns? Can he play across the front 3? the answer to all of these is in the negative to me and Haaland is superior....the only area Kane trumps Haaland for me is aerially

One of my concerns with Kane is that his hunger has come from being Spurs through and through....would he dislay that same hunger? He wouldnt be human if that didnt play a part....

Personally I cant stand the guy but thats here nor there...he is a very very god striker i can admit that but for me Haaland has that hunger/attitude that makes him stand out. I jsut dont see that in Kane playing for us.....I also dont want the circus that comes with him being England capt....

IF Haaland goes anywhere this summer in the premiership besides us then we have made a mistake
 
Can see Abramovich breaking the bank for him. they made not much fuss to pay 120m + bonuses for Werrner and Havert last time from Bundesliga, and Haaland is a greater talent than those two.

As said above Chelsea has a huge loan army can be used to sweeten any deal also some players in their first team to use.

If he ends up somewhere else other than City I want him to play his whole career in Bayern or Real/Barca far away from PL.

The fact that Kane wants to leave despite being Spurs through and through shows how desperate he is to win things. Don’t think hunger would be an issue.

I’m with you though, quite concerned about the thought of someone like Chelsea getting Haaland, think that would be a bit of a mini-disaster for us. Haaland puts the shits up defenders in a way that currently only Mbappe and Messi do now.

Your right hunger wont be an issue .....have you seen the food they get in the staff canteen ...its Michelin quality ...

Dortmunds board have hatred towards Tuchel. There was a massive fall out between both parties. It’s why Tuchel left. It got very heated between the chairman and Tuchel
 
Roman isn’t bothered by ridiculous transfer fee and wages he will pay whatever Dortmund want this season if they want him.
