Erling Haaland

I think other cubs will offer much more than his buyout, so why not offer £150m plus Sterling and Delap with a buy back clause for Delap so if he works out we can have him back? Lets be honest he wont get the chance at City that he will at Dortmund.

No one is offering more than the clause

Guys, if Haaland doesn't end up here. It would be because he chose someone else. And not because management didn't do everything in its power to make it happen.


In the end, it's his decision where he wants to go. Literally!

Think Riola will play a bigger part in Haaland not coming here than Haaland himself.

Greed

You have information, im impressed.

He's already on 11 goals in all comps this season. The numbers he's putting up are just frightening; and the only thing that stunts these numbers is a serious injury.

In a hypothetical scenario, if he wants circa 400-450k at his next club then we have to pay it; because there will be plenty of other clubs willing, they'll find a way of doing so and making it work. He's already the best striker in the world (of course that's a subjective take but I don't see how it's arguable) and he'd arrive here as our most important and valuable player. It's an unpalatable truth that some on this forum might not accept, but we're still some way behind the likes of Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern in terms of prestige and allure. We can't expect generational players like this to run through brick walls to come to us if we're not going to pay a little more than the aforementioned clubs. Because if it comes to us offering pay parity with those others, he's choosing one of them. Simple as that.

He's the one we have to change tact for next summer.

In fairness, I think we are the pricks in that relationship. So........

Yeah but I’m not willing to admit that

No offence but if you think Dortmund have any say in where he is going, you do not understand this transfer.

The only sweeteners worth throwing are to the Haaland family and Mino.

True, it’s a release clause so they don’t have any say, my bad.

Staying at Dortmund for the rest of the season could be a sweetener to Haaland and Mino, though, but not sure how it’d be pitched when they’d be there anyway and could get more money if he has a blinding rest of the season.

No idea really, no real point in the clause being ‘available’ in January really.

Lewandowski has scored in 19 consecutive games to be fair

Probably true, so if we need to clear out some players to free up some salary then we can get shot of Sterling, Jesus and Beenado.

Ah i see, so its the agent and Haaland that we have to lure.
