Erling Haaland

[domalino]

Why do you say that.
He is 18.

Because I read the thing you posted that said 3 per window and 6 per season.

Kayky is joining in January 2022. He is irrelevant to this window.



The Brazilian season ends in December. Same arrangement we had with Jesus joining.

Whether true or not — it should be the obvious conclusion

“Kane and haaland back and forth ”
sounds like a movie you don‘t want your kids to watch .

 

[HaalandEffect]

Again who is Ekrem Konur?

 

[BamberBridgeBlue]

Or perhaps Harry Kane is just part of the Haaland back and forth?

This CF position is just something we can’t get wrong, especially with the figures being thrown around. It’s Haaland for me or don’t bother and wait for the next no brainer to come along

So if we don’t get a striker you want you think we should make do without? So basically go into next season weaker? Dias wasn’t our number one centre back choice last year... wasn’t a bad back up option.

That’s why I suspect Ings is on the list a put me on if you like. £120 mill on Kane is not the way to go

Buying a proven prem striker, the best striker in the league, last years golden boot winner, great penalty taker, scores more than a goal every two games isn’t the way to go? Out of our normal kind of signing I agree, just like united when they got Van Persie.
Sometimes it doesn’t matter

Fair enough buddy if he joins and is a big hit I will hold my hands up and say I got it wrong. I just get a bad feeling about this one, if he was a couple of years younger then maybe

Soon to be 28 isn’t past it mate. Kane is a guarantee.

Whilst I fully expect Haaland to be a hit wherever he goes, it is still a risk as he’s unproven in this league. Whilst there’s a part of me that respects his journey he’s also moved on every couple of years. Considering his agent if we sign him I do not expect him to be with us any longer than the amount of years we’d have Kane smashing them in. His agent is bad news, we’ve genuinely avoided them after Yaya but I do accept Haaland may be worth it.

We waited a year to replace Kompany, because the oprions that summer were dire or insane prices. Then we nailed it. Imagine we spent 80m on Maguire, and then had to buy a proper defender again in a year or twonat a huge cost again. Or koulibaly the following year.

It would be a mistake not getting a replacement for Aguero. But nowhere near as big a mistake as not getting the right player in. Specially at the insane prices we are talking about, it Has to be right. Get a cheap alternative in if you have to wait, give torres and gabi a go, but if spending big money, get it right.

And I'm sorry for not agreeing, but for me Kane isn't the right signing. Not saying he is not good, but rather he is not right. Will totally welcome if he comes, won't be disappointed if we get nobody though.


Your mention of van persie is appropriate. Short term fix, thay won them that one title, their last in almost a decade. Also, cost a good 100m less than what Kane would.

i don't know where people get the idea there is exactly 1 good striker in the world today

In that year not replacing Kompany we failed in every comp minus the league cup. We are too good to skip seasons.

Kane isn’t a risk in the slightest, I can’t understand how anybody sees it as anything less than a guarantee. It’s a lot of money but who thinks replacing Aguero will be done on the cheap? Van Persie was older with a year remaining on his contract and nearly ten years ago. Costs are different but idea remains the same. There is also zero guarantee we get Haaland next year.

Don't think that's what he is saying. 1, well 2, that are worth breaking the bank for.

And Kane isn't one of them.

 

[GOULDYBOBS]

Please please please

Let me, let me, let me....

So the best striker in the prem isn’t worth breaking the bank for? We are replacing a striker with the best goals to min ratio in the prem ever, why not replace with the man at number two?

There’s some really good reasoning for and against Kane or Haaland but if we get Kane and it doesn’t work out what sort of resale value would he have. With Haaland we would probably get a significant amount back.

Think haaland is more a risk than Kane tbh . In Kane you are getting 25 goals from an already established premier league striker in haaland you are signing potential which could go anywhere . Be happy with either but kane for us would be immense.
