Erling Haaland

[Deleted member 87819]

There were a few reports from the Spanish media - that there is no release clause.

Many initial and specific reports about the release clause came from Spain, particularly Marca, by reporters who don’t make this stuff up. The story about not having a release clause came from Jose Pedrerol, who is a clown that hosts a sensationalistic sports tv show that is all about drama and yelling and BOMBAZOS etc (El Chiringuito). He said he heard this from Florentino Perez. That is the so called source of these reports. This is Madrid communicating with their fans that they’re not going to sign him. I have seen they do it many times before. Of course it is a lie. Bayern has done the same a couple of months ago, in leaking to their mouthpieces that they won’t get it done either.

I think Pep is trying to send a message to the board to sign Haaland in January by over exaggerating that Torres will be out for up to three months.

Great plan. I'm sure there's no way that the Sporting Director or Chairman or other members of the board could possibly find out the real injury status of one of our players.

He doesn't do messages he just speaks to them.

Yes they do, or if not make up ,they make wild guesses.

Is this a real account? Haha!
I'm pretty sure that Pep is past the point in his career where he has to send hidden messages to a board that will listen to what he has to say directly and probably move heaven and earth to keep him happy.
If Pep has indicated he wants Haaland then I'm sure we are looking into what it'll take to make it happen.
Subconscious messages during a PC don't seem to be part of his MO.

Nothing on Haaland for ages mate, was only by chance I heard anything about Sterling and that was from a client who’s a former player and still in and around the club.

There is no chance that Haaland is going to move this season to any club.

If you're right, which I suspect isn't the case, then we're idiots.

What kind of club won't pay £150m for Haaland but thinks £100m for Grealish is acceptable?

One is a great, but ultimately one amongst a dozen, creative wide player. The other is a beast five years his junior with the potential to be one of the best strikers ever.

Completely different deals. Haaland would cost north of £150m plus his wages would be a lot more than Grealish’s. His agent will also be asking for a boat load of cash. Haaland was never signing for City this summer just gone, it’s an insane amount of money to pay for someone who’s available for £65m next summer. I haven’t got inside information, but I’m presuming that’s what the club thought.
