Erling Haaland

[Withnail]

Pep wanted Kane because he wanted a striker this summer just gone, and Haaland wasn’t attainable.

Next summer is a whole new ball game.

Just hope his wages don't kill the move, Haaland is a generational talent and he would rip the PL up in this City team.

I'd be disappointed if we tried for Kane again. Sure, he'd probably be great short-term. But we'd be looking with envy at whichever club got Haaland within 1-3 years.

Not on a release clause that kicked in mid season.

No doubt he can move in january, the point is whether we find that one abstract guess that his release clause kicks in in January believable. I don't.

It doesn't matter. If the question was "how is it possible that a release clause could activate in January, that seems really unusual" a very plausible explanation is that January marks two years from his arrival at Dortmund. I have no clue if it actually does, but it wouldn't be completely insane if it did.

I was genuinely happy the Kane deal didn’t happen,please don’t make me think theirs a chance of him still coming!

Most likely he cannot leave Dortmund in January, but only sign a precontract.

I think it would, for the reasons I noted. A simple 2 years from January guess doesnt stack against all the other logical issues with it.

We'd known soon enogh I guess.

That would surely be illegal.

His contract isn't expiring, a release clause becomes active allowing him to be bought out. Can't sign a pre contract with 2.5 yeara left on his contract, not until someone pays the release clause or an asking transfer fee first.

He shouldnt care. His endorsements will be far beyond any salary. Just accept the tiny £300k a week and win everything at the club you supported as a boy

If can’t Haaland love us to offer 100m for Salah next summer!? It be worth it just for the fall out!
