Ahhh, think Xmas got to you !! football Manger ;-)
FWIW, the press seem to be upping our chances of getting Erling. No one really knows, and am surprised some seem entrenched in their opinions on this forum. Past experience shows, we all know FA.
besides maybe Yaya..None of those players as good as they turned out (world beaters some of them) were the most sort after player in the world at the time (Maybe Kun but i doubt it...he was a very hot prospect and had been tearing up the spannish league but he didnt have the profile Haaland has at present --maybe some of that isnt deserved and Maybe Haaland isnt as good as kun was at his age but thats irrelevant to what we are talking about hear.......Haaland is a marquee signing, someone EVERY big team will go for, and we dont really do those.....nd none of those players you have mentioned at the time they signed for us were in that bracketYaya, David Silva, Aguero, Fernandinhio, Gundo, Dias, Sterling, Mahrez etc may all disagree.
We pay for the big players in fees and wages when they are players that will improve this team.
We will not pay too much for any player, we set a value and stick to it, that is called good business practise and why we have and will continue to be a model run, successful football club.
Haaland looks exceptional and a player I would love in sky blue, but stats apart he has done nothing as yet, so he is very similar to the players signed in the past decade.besides maybe Yaya..None of those players as good as they turned out (world beaters some of them) were the most sort after player in the world at the time (Maybe Kun but i doubt it...he was a very hot prospect and had been tearing up the spannish league but he didnt have the profile Haaland has at present --maybe some of that isnt deserved and Maybe Haaland isnt as good as kun was at his age but thats irrelevant to what we are talking about hear.......Haaland is a marquee signing, someone EVERY big team will go for, and we dont really do those.....nd none of those players you have mentioned at the time they signed for us were in that bracket
There is no such thing as pre contract with player having more than 6 months on his deal.https://www.sundayworld.com/sport/s...ld-be-made-sooner-than-expected-41183418.html Big big news, the chance of us signing Haaland on a pre-contract in January is very high…

Not quite true. If clubs agree a fee, it absolutely is possible to pre-arrange a transfer for any date you like. Clubs can insert a ‘start date’ as they wish.A) it is impossible for him to sign a pre-contract, with 2.5 years still to go on hia current one. pre-contracts are for the last 6 months of a player's contract, not applicable to a release clause.
B) Even if that article alone is what you are going off of, it literally says the exact opposite, that no decision will be made in January.
C)shit source

That said, I think the article is a heap of bollocks. But theoretically yes, it is possible.
We do agree, unfortunate as it may be.That is not a pre-contract then. It is a transfer between clubs. No it is not possible, not in the sense it was claimed.
We agree the article is mince.
