Erling Haaland

[nmc]

You also said it will be in this january.

No he didn’t. Read his post.

 

[Gumzy97]

The Haaland will join Bayern

No.

The Haaland will join Bayern

Yeah daft isn’t it as if Bayern can afford him his wages and Haaland actually wanting to go to that shit stain rancid corrupt club.

 

[Maly]

No he didn’t. Read his post.

He did. He said it months ago that it was a done deal for January, which is pure bollocks. Not saying it won’t happen, but ‘done deal’ is fucking nonsense as he’s not signed a contract yet

Real Madrid already have Benzema who is not going to get benched and are signing Mbappe. Bayern have Lewandowski under contract until 2023, which would mean Haaland would be playing second fiddle if he goes there. They also have huge problems within the team as it is because of huge salary gaps between players, and Raiola himself said Bayern can't pay Pogba level of salaries. Barca have no money. Raiola also basically ruled out United or any other teams. That leaves us, who have the money and place for him.

Premier League is the best league in the world right now, and we have been the best team in it the last decade. Just to be able to be the main guy up front in our team with the amount of talent we have in our squad must be any strikers dream right now (Just ask Harry Kane). When you add to the fact his father played for us, that he was a member of a City fan club in Norway in his youth, and that he has travelled to Manchester to watch us play on several occasions, it all points to one thing. Haaland will most likely be a City player next season, you don't have to be ITK to realise that. Can't wait :)

But what about bailey’s on ice?

 

[Wretched Vengeance]

Let me be very clear about this quote: he is basically saying he is coming here

I doubt you'll get the opportunity to enjoy Haaland should we sign him.

You'll have wanked yourself to death long before he takes to the pitch.

Imho Erling playing in Germany is just a step in his education / career and he won’t be staying there once that step is complete, when he leaves Dortmund it’s for Real or City

 

[colesy]

There's a hell of a lot pointing him into our direction, especially his previous connections, the EPL being the place to be, and also Real going after Mbappe. Also being from Norway, the weather in Manchester may not seem so bad, which is not the case for a lot of the players we go after.

Gary Bailey on ice was far more enjoyable; )

 

[ninjamonkey]

Raiola says a lot of things, instantly believing what he says just because it's what we want to hear yet largely dismissing similar chatter when it's not doesn't make any sense. it's literally part of his job to drum up speculation.

tier 1 for madrid

Remember when PSG turned down Madrid's obscene amount of money for Mbappe a few months ago and they launched a crazy attack on the "oil clubs" for having such obscene amounts of money that Madrid couldn't compete and it wasn't fair?

It was such a stupid thing to say that that's when I thought they were hit with a double whammy, confirming Mbappe staying at PSG and Haaland coming to us.

Yet we all remain wet.

Some moist, some dank.
Some quasi-philosophical. BM in a nutshell.

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

So are we actively negotiating or have we told Raiola to keep us posted on his contract status. No idea when his contract runs out but we know a certain figure can trigger his departure in Summer. So surely we’ve shown our hand a little and that offer wouldn’t last forever.

A notice of interest is lodged, obviously, but still seems to be case next month could be pivotal in terms of concrete offers from clubs when Mino is in England.

Maybe there are several quotes but the one I read said the club wanted it done in January but it looked like we’d have to wait until the summer. In terms of saying a deals done - clearly Haaland can’t sign anything but that doesn’t mean the major parties haven’t shaken hands but it seems that’s unlikely. Personally I think Haaland will end up in Madrid.

 

[Dobsy]

We've seen City used as a stick to beat other clubs with in negotiations too many times. Raiola's words can just as easily be seen as leaning on Madrid to pay up more in wages or he'll go to City.

If it comes down to Real Madrid vs Man City I'm sorry to say my expectation is it'll be Madrid.

 

[Semper aggressus]

I could accept him going to Madrid, or PSG, just not rags or Chelsea. As long as he doesn’t go to one of those shithouse clubs and we ended up with Vlahovic or even Kane it wouldn’t be so bad. We need someone though, this false 9 and needing 25 chances to score one goal is fucking shit.

Ideally we get Haaland though! Just hope the board go all in financially to persuade him and his agent that we are the right choice.
