Erling Haaland

Will definitely be a bit gutted inside of we get Kane but Chelsea get Haaland

You will get over it when Kane wins golden boot next year and we win the title
You would get over it even more three years later when Kane leaves us and haaland signs for Madrid!!

I wouldn’t be surprised if Chelsea are only positioning themselves for a move next season. I can’t believe that any club will pay Dortmund’s fee plus Haaland’s wages plus Mino’s commission. There’s £75m in difference between this and next season.

I don’t think it would be smart to bet against Haaland winning the Prem golden boot in his first season.

His stats speak for themselves, particularly his CL ones. 40% conversion rate isn’t it?

I also think players making a move shows they are serious & want to come

Stones, Sterling, Walker, Laporte, Mahrez & now Kane imo it's Kane who we want & not Haaland

All the above made it known

I think City wont get turned over by Dortmund, Raiola & paying £400.000 a week in wages knowing Haaland has at least 3 massive deals in the next 10 years & Raiola pissingnon everyone's chips

Chelsea are making noises just like UTD did with Pogba then Sanchez

City imo have walked away & Kane will be signed

Either way we have a world class ready made player who scores for fun & takes a good fucking pen

I for 1 aint bothered how much it costs whatever it is City will.pay what they believe & won't be anywhere near the £150m more £100m + bonuses

Agreed, I think its the financial package more than anything that's likely to have put City off, a reported fee north of 150M the payoff to Alf and Mino, maybe 20M a year in wages. Kane won't be cheap but the overall numbers will add up to a fair old amount in difference.

Id still back Kane to score more for us than him for Chelsea

We’re signing both!!!
Gotta replace mahrez, sterling, Bernardo, Laporte and Jesus when they go to Barca

Do we need to sign a top striker? Pep's - seemingly - preferred system does not feature a dedicated striker.

We could do worse and have a look at what Tevez is up to these days. He could be back up to a main striker and he would love in this team.

Looks like It's boiling down to 1 of the targets being 90% commited and the other 100% commited to the cause and would walk over broken glass to even just win a community shield medal...my money's on Kane walking threw the door

It's not naive in terms of they want players who are committed to coming here.

We have shown plenty of times that we walk away if it's not the right smell for us.

I suspect City don't want to be dragging out this window for a number nine because it absolutely has to happen.

Two world class strikers on the market, it would be amateurish to find out you aren't the destination of choice, being forced to pay well over the odds by the other club, knowing backed into a corner.

I agree with this, but I also think the culture of our ownership plays a part -we have no desire to be used, played or made to look second best In any high profile transfer saga. We tend to deal in (near) certainties and walk away very quickly as you say if things don’t smell or feel quite right.
