Erling Haaland

Then we”d find another way, there’s always alternatives and different ways to play. As it is I’m confident we will go the Haaland way but one player is never be all and end all.

I don't disagree with that- I'm sure we'll be fine whether we get Haaland or not. To be honest, as long as Pep is manager, I think we would keep winning trophies even if our next three signings were Jake Livermore, Ali Dia and Harry Maguire. Just think that if we do want a striker, and we don't get Haaland, the next best option is a massive step down. He's just that good.

Either he gets average to above average squad level wages or he can jog on, no reason to completely destroy squad harmony for some kid who only did it in a league where 98% of players are part time farmers

Hold on a second; the other two maybe.

But you know, coz he is striker he must have the highest wage in the squad on first season. F the rest who have been in the squad for years.

My biggest concern is if we miss out on him we'll go in for fucking Kane again.

There's such an important correlation between not getting Haaland (or another top notch striker), doing fine and Pep being here.
If Pep does leave then there is no guarantee another manager will get the same out of a no striker formation - we would most likely go backwards.
If we can get Haaland or Kane and pep stays, that's ideal for me but if he goes then I'd still be confident we would stay at the top

You must really hate Jake Livermore.

 

[TonyColemansbagofapples]

Don't most people? Just maybe not as much as they hate Andy Robertson

We wouldn't need to, we've got the new Kun coming in from Argentina

How dare you disrespect Ali Dia?

Did he post any homemade caramel pics yesterday?

More than ever I’m starting to believe the “lack of rumors” on our side it’s a good sign. All the “news” coming from Spain are just smoke and desperation imo. Haaland is keen on us as much as Mbappé is on Real and I don’t think this will change… Just a matter of time.

 

[AlanBalls]

Yeah this is the only thing I disagree with @BrazilianBlue (Gus) on. I think all will be said and done long before summer. Our board obviously don’t want a summer circus where we’ve been burned too many times lately.

 

[colesy]

Despite all of the social media speculation sending him to Spain, I will really not believe them, or worry until his destination is finally announced. If it is Madrid, I can just look forward to us giving them a good spanking in the Champs League next season.

We have already signed one forward, and I am sure the club will have multiple back up options for Haaland, maybe as not as shiny as him, but the people who run our club, have City's best intentions in mind.

Get the feeling haaland himself wants it done and dusted as well. No long sagas, say his goodbyes to BVB at seasons end and be there for the first day of pre season wherever that may be.

If we do happen to tie up a deal early I think we’ll have no choice but to announce it just to control the narrative - it will get to the press in Germany anyway much like when we got pep.

Why would we want to hide it if it happened?

So as not to disrupt our season flow in any way, I guess. Can’t remember the last time we announced a first team signing outside of the window?
