Erling Haaland

[Mr Kobayashi]

Please don't remind us, overpaying doesn't equal marquee

I think you just reiterrated my point......we dont make marquee signings...that is my point

We got the most sought after manager

Is that grealish listening to all the other clubs who were in for him in the summer? Oh there wasn't any lol.

Fair play though good response made me chuckle.

Sorry, I’ve had a few drinks since the game and probably not being as elaborate as usual :)

Should we agree a deal with BVB today for a Jan 2024 transfer, we can then speak to Haaland to agree a contract with a Jan 2024 start date. Same goes for this coming summer.

Legally and per FIFA rules, there’s nothing stopping us getting a deal fully wrapped up with both player and club for this summer.

He has a release clause though? There’s nothing to agree with Dortmund.

They aren’t compelled to accept the fee and allow us to speak to the Haaland camp until the presumed clause active date (June 1st ish?).

They’d need to give us the green light for January talks. Once the clause kicks in, they have no say.

You sure?

What is it you mean by done nothing yet.

Not specifically Haaland, more what does a player have to do to have done something.

Nothing in terms of winning trophies etc, he is an outstanding talent, that is without question, but is he at the stage when he can make demands in terms of 400k wages?

Yes, because some clubs in the market will most likely pay that £400k p/w, simple as really.

We’re well within our rights to turn down his demands, but if he prioritises money, those demands will end up met elsewhere.

Do you only come on this forum to slag Jack off?

Jack has in the past turned down transfer moves to bigger & better clubs than Villa.

Bet you was a Rodri hater as well eh?

If Erling only wants us, and we need concrete assurances over that, then there’s plenty context for all parties to sit down in January and agree a binding deal for the Summer window.

Our board will be more than wary of getting burned like we did for Messi and Kane. There’s every reason to get signatures on paper in January for the summer.

Not for Dortmund.
