Players and agents "word" means NOTHING and we shouldnt be so nieve.We fear he favours Real Madrid and have for a while. Not to preclude a deal, but City recognise Haaland is a special talent and have made allowances for the fact he is wanted by all the top teams.
If Haaland gives his word in January, we will stick with what we have until the summer, otherwise there is an increasing mood behind the scenes that we should walk and move immediately to our next target.
If nothing else, but to reinforce our position in this season, using the Torres sale as a further justification.
If he favours Madrid then we need to improve our offer as it will be all about the money for both Mino and Haaland himself...or lose out on a generational talent...

they are backed by the spannish govt in reality...they have the finances and no one in UEFA, FIFA will challenge them..they are the singular most powerful (political) team in the worldThey could but they also need players in other positions, they need to rebuild and they still have to be careful with their spend.

They would sign Haaland and Mbappe just to prove a point.They could but they also need players in other positions, they need to rebuild and they still have to be careful with their spend.
They have a good keeper, decent defenders, decent midfielders and enough fire power up front to challenge in Europe and they look pretty sure of dominating domestically.
They signed Alaba and Camavinga last summer and they have talents like Rodrygo and Vinicius coming into their own this season. As well as the likes of Valverde who is very talented,
Kroos and Casimero are still more than good enough.
They can sell Jovic and Mariano plus a few others as well as releasing the huge wages of Bale to fund other moves if required but would any club turn down signing Haaland and Mbappe for a combined "transfer fee" of about 70m. I don't think so.
It would be the perfect storm for Perez, Barca and Atletico waning so he can now put the pressure on again.
Exactly, which is why I dont think Haaland is going to happen. Can we trust that Haaland won't change his mind in the summer and in the mean time Vlahovic has gone elsewhere?Players and agents "word" means NOTHING and we shouldnt be so nieve.

Its not all about money. Mbappe said so himself this week, hes turned down a fortune to go to Real. Sadly it still has this mystical power that draws players in.

Part of me wants him to join City, but another part of me wants Pep and his scouts to unearth another talent nobody else has spotted under the radar, so he can coach him as an unfinished product. This will save a fortune and encourage Pep to stay longer.

It’s not the first time @tolmie's hairdoo says that about Madrid. I cannot pretend all the information I have isn’t there so I am sticking my neck out from the pack and insisting he will not be going to Madrid this window. I have said a few times already: IF it’s true that he only wants Madrid AND they want him, he will stay another season at Dortmund to give them a chance of dealing with Benzema and sort their finances out. It’s not happening in the summer. If I’m wrong, I will apologize, but I don’t see why it bothers people that I am willing to make a bold claim. Mind you, Tolm has not said anything about Madrid’s stance or even the Haaland camp’s; it’s supposedly about how it could be perceived inside our club. On the same page, one could argue Vlahovic has eyes on JuventusBetter not tell Gus!
I did not say they are skint but they have to be careful.they are backed by the spannish govt in reality...they have the finances and no one in UEFA, FIFA will challenge them..they are the singular most powerful (political) team in the world
The same applies to Barca, people on here seem to think Barca will be declared bankrupt at any moment, clubs like that will always find cash.

when did they unearth the first talent?Part of me wants him to join City, but another part of me wants Pep and his scouts to unearth another talent nobody else has spotted under the radar, so he can coach him as an unfinished product. This will save a fortune and encourage Pep to stay longer.

Bluemoon will self combust if we get his word in January, pull away from Vlahovic(he goes somewhere else)to wait for Haaland in Summer then he rocks up at Madrid with Mino chuckling on Sky.

What will encourage Pep to stay longer is giving him worldclass talent to work with. With strikers there is no scouting to find hidden talents for a side like ours. It’s who’s scoring shitloads in top leagues and their style. That’s seconds on Google and any average football observer will have watched these players. The pool is as small as it getsThis will save a fortune and encourage Pep to stay longer.
