Erling Haaland

[I'm Blue]

Here is a question. If Haaland didn't have a release clause next summer, would clubs be keener to push to pay the asking price for him this summer? Thoughts?

Maybe, reports suggest (could be bollocks) dortmund want £150m, then Riola wants £20m, Alf wants £20m, then there’s £400k a week in wages, though Riola said the last part was fake.
If those figures are correct that’s a total of £290m
Next year that’s £210m
Still sounds expensive, but Kane will be £225m (£150m plus wages)
We sign Kane, Chelsea sign Lukaku and then it’ll be between the rags and German rags who gets him.

If you go back far enough I can remember Neil McNab trying to take one with an injured shoulder in front of the Kippax, couldn't get his poorly arm up to hold the ball.

Must have been around the time he was trying to get a move to Real Madrid...

The release clause means nothing. All it will do is set off an auction that will lead to a similarly extortionate fee and wages.

As mentioned earlier, City will get Kane, Chelsea will get Lukaku. Unless Real Madrid win the Euromillions jackpot a couple of times in the interim, that leaves Bayern and the rags the most likely bidders for Haaland next summer. I would expect the rags to make contact with Raiola & co around the January window and go all out for him next summer.

In my view, City and/or Chelsea will only enter an auction for Haaland if either or both Kane and Lukaku flop badly, or suffer long term injuries.

In a nutshell, I don't see City being drawn into a crazy auction for Haaland.

united fans 150% sure he's going to the swamp if we get Kane and chelsea get Lukaku

So the same as any player anywhere, including our own that get contract renewals periodically.

No not the same.

Mentioned that earlier, seems wages could be a problem but they are trying to make it work.
Whatever the fuck that means.

Like I said yesterday, clubs had an inkling that he's already chosen his new club, otherwise Chavs would have kept going for him.
If he doesn't join the German rags he join the English ones!
