He would be a game changer for us, and considering the level we are at already, thats would scare the shit out of every team we play.

If you look back at all the games we have lost over the last 3 or 4 seasons, it's very hard to imagine any of them happen with a finisher as clinical as Haaland up front.

Obviously life doesn't work like that, but this signing would be transformational. All those games where we're the better side but just can't put it away would evaporate.

The price as well. For a side that does get so much scrutiny over our spending, £64m for the best striker on the planet is too good to be true. He wouldn't even be in the top 10 most expensive PL signings. Wages and bonuses etc are all gossip and can be played down, the fee is the steal of the century.

Absolutely totally agree. We have so many talented ball players, but nobody to make those classic striker runs, the movement he would bring to the party is like nothing else we have currently, add in his goalscoring ability and it looks the perfect fit. If the club need to go the extra mile on this one they really should.
 
Don’t know where this claim about him not being good in the air is coming from. I’m Norwegian and have watched at least half of his games since he made his debut in Norway. None of the teams he has played for is known for making many crosses, hence why he hasn’t scored that many headers
 
No player ever has scored as much as Haaland in his first two years(maybe Gerd Muller, but I am not sure). We are talking about a guy who is strong AF, as fast as Walker, as physical as Walker, as tall as our CB, great shooting with perfect collocation and strength, who can shoot with both of his feet, great movement, and good control and passing. He doesn’t have any weaknesses.

Some people here have mentioned that unless his wages are less than KDB, we should not sign him. Haaland could very well be the best FW ever in football history. The potential is there, and whatever team he goes will be a threat in Europe for the next 10 years.

The best part is that he seems to be a good teammate. Whenever someone else scores a goal, he is as excited as if he scored. He is not like Ronaldo who has thrown tantrums when a teammate scores instead of passing him the ball.

Halaand is good, but the best FW ever in football history? I don't think so.

I don't think we will ever get another chance to sign a goal a game striker. This is like if Cristiano Ronaldo or Messi were on the open market in 2010, except he's 21 no 25/26, and he's only going to cost €75m.

He is going to score 50 goals a season every season if he stays fit, it's the kind of signing that will define a club for a decade, we absolutely have to seal this.

73 in 72 for Dortmund now.

23 in 19 CL games.

And to top it off he’s also a City fan. On average he gets a goal contribution every 60 minutes, both in the Bundesliga and CL. I would do unspeakable things to see Haaland under Pep at City

He has the potential. He is like Ronaldo(the real one) but stronger(and not as good technically). If he keeps this level, he will break all the goalscoring records. He has already broken all the records in precocity in both Bundesliga and UCL.

I can't imagine a world where we're willing to pay £100m for Grealish and even more for Kane (if reports are to be believed) but we're not willing to pay just over half of that for a player who will probably be the best striker in the world for the next ten years and fills pretty much the only hole we have in our squad.

It's one of those signings too where I can see Pep extending for a few more years if we got him.
 
We’ll pay the money. We have the money and we’ll pay the money. That’s been established from a few sources, not least Tolmie.

It’s all down to Haaland and Raiola now. We’re here if he wants us. I wouldn’t blame our club if he doesn’t come.

Edit: We also have the whole Puma thing going for us. There are a hell of a lot pieces falling into place, but it just needs the nod from the man himself. Not sure why people still have doubts about our willingness to pay up.

I'm a trust in Txiki/Khaldoon guy for the most part but this is the one player that I would be really upset by if the powers that be don't move heaven and earth to sign. You've nailed it. This isn't like when guys like Vlahovic or Lukaku or even Felix come up for sale...players of that caliber are available every year, this is a once in a decade transfer. If we don't do absolutely everything we can on this one I'm not interested in listening to Khaldoon tell us how serious we are in his videos anymore, because it's not true.

After his last end-of-season interview, I won’t bother watching to the new one...

You would think with the sheiks apparent desire for the champ league he would make sure money wasnt the obstacle to getting haaland. This signing almost guarantees we win it.

I hope what you say is true but the fact that Pep wanted Harold Kane so badly last summer makes me think he may not fancy Haaland.
