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.
