Erling Haaland

[The Stockport Iniesta]

Is everyone clutching at straws, or is there some news?

Just don't see Madrid paying 200 million euros when they will get him free, that's my point and they can pre arrange from January

Like I said they already made two fat offers and the media in Madrid says there will be a third. We’ll see

It's has always been very "simple", even now.

Any club that meets Dortmund's €150m euros asking price can have him today.

In addition to wages of £500k a week, £40m to Mino and the Haaland family, the buy out clause, it would move very quickly.

Sadly, it's a £200m deal before a ball is kicked.

Would I do it?

Not my money, would break the bank and even go another year without a left back!!

Wouldn't need to spend anything on a striker for a while though. As for LB, Mendy was a useless lump anyway so no point replacing a non entity

He clarified later!

Yes just seen that lol

200 mill cost
Buy out clause
500k week

Do you think city have got it in them to do that deal, I just can't see it unfortunately.

Maybe it's because I'm American and am just conditioned this way. But I find the angst of *potentially* paying large amounts of money funny. We're talking about multi-billionaires moving money around to multi-millionaires. Are athletes being paid obscene over the top amounts? Sure but that's a whole separate discussion. At the end of the day it's an entertainment business and the market dictates itself regardless of what's happening in the real world.

I compare football to American sports quiet a lot just because it makes it easier for me to comprehend sometimes. With the £500k a week being talked about there's NBA players who are in their early 20s earning about the same but they aren't nearly as good at basketball as Haaland is at football but no one really complains about the amount they're being paid because it's been accepted that if you want the next best thing or a player with high potential you better be prepared to pay because if not someone else will happily pay the cost needed.

TL:DR not my money. Get the boy in :)

If we’re the last ones to understand this, we’ll be left behind

They will lose him for free next summer anyway. And Richarlison regardless of what you think of him, almost always starts for Brazil

So did Jo at one stage in his career, with 20 caps.

Harland is a future legend. Pay up…….we will regret it if we don’t.

Seems unbelievable typical City that there’s a superstar who was a City fan as a kid and we still won’t end up with him

He is a huge Leeds fan all though he obviously grew up liking us as well
