Erling Haaland

well in that case say good buy to star signings and improving the clubs image

It will be huge setback but not the end of the world, there will always talent like him waiting to be discovered for the next five years. We just have to be lucky we got it first and it will be cheaper too hopefully.

 

[Rammy Blue]

Not sure a pre-contract is possible. His current contract expires in 2024 but there is a clause in there that allows him to leave next summer for a pre-determined fee.

Ha, yeah. Shouldn’t post when had a few drinks, note to self.

We’ve got the money to buy him. We would also have to destroy our wage structure.

I assume we’d expect a pre-contract agreement to be sorted in Jan.

Pretty sure it is impossible to agree a pre-contract with a player that has more than 6 months left on his contract with another club.

Could agree with dortmund to buy him in the summer and then agree terms with him, but at that point might as well agree to buy him in January.

Likely to go round in circles this one, an indication of intention is the most the club might get, if that is good enough for them.

i fancy haaland will want out now after going out of champions league.
he would be available for a new club in the knockouts and munich and manchester city must be the 2 clubs suited.

but i know munich do sign players and loaning back to the summer and that would suit dortmund
maybe city sign kane and see what haaland wants to do ? but i would not touch kane or levy ever again
the only deal i can see city taking from spurs is a cheap fire sale or loan

I didn’t realise a player could play for a different team in the knockout phase. That puts a new perspective on things, the thought that he could join us in January and win THIS season’s CL must have crossed his mind.

 

[Barcon]

Both ?

I’ve spent the last 5 mins trying to figure out what’s in his left hand.

 

[Maly]

Exactly. We were told by some that Kane was ‘done’ last summer.

I’m not having a pop at the guy, I just don’t think possible that it’s ‘done’

Agreed? Maybe, which is what I guess the chap means

‘Done’? Unless he’s signed his City contract, I don’t see how it can be done, so saying it’s done is disingenuous

Sanchez was ‘done’ before he’d signed his contract & I don’t remember him ever playing for us

The Haaland will join Bayern

 

[Rammy Blue]

The Haaland will join Bayern

Thanks.

Close the thread.

We’ve got the money to buy him. We would also have to destroy our wage structure.

We could pre load part of his wages onto a signing on fee.

There are ways round paying a huge weekly wage.
