Erling Haaland

[I'm Blue]

So we still have no idea what’s happening or where he’ll end up.
He’s keeping his options open from what I can tell, rightly so, so he’s a ****, it’s a circus, don’t want him, steer clear etc.. (not from everyone)
From the outside that looks like exactly what Vlahovic is doing, yet it seems Haaland is in the wrong but Vlahovic isn’t.
I’ve seen nothing from Haaland that makes me think he’s a big time Charlie, a troublemaker etc, he needs some arrogance to be the best player in the world, but from what I’ve seen it’s nothing out of the ordinary.

It’s a done deal to us , has been for months , we was hopeful of getting it wrapped up for this January but to keep all parties happy it’s now looking inevitable that we will have to wait till summer , the media will make a big scene of the wages he will get paid , but he’s worth every penny, plus we’ve offloaded players in the last 18 months to fund him and his wages.

thats the info we are seeking. But now the noise is all coming out from spain. Either barca or madrid are signing him.

With respect, you have absolutely no idea...

You should have just stopped posting at that point ;)

 

[Centurions]

So you now agree that he can't sign a pre-agreement as he's not got only 6 months left on his contract?

He also has some big misses and batshit crazy transfer posts that didn't happen.
I'd love to think the information was in good faith, I'd be far more civilised if that was the case but alas, I'm of the opinion he's a chancer.
I'll refrain from putting money on it just like I've refrained from putting money on anything else ever at the bookies.
I think my idea of enjoying a ride differs quite spectacularly from others it seems.

we are here talking about speculations and the most likely scenario mate. If you want definite news then better not to come to transfer forum. Thats what this forum is for. for speculations.

Thanks for the advice, blue but I'm pretty sure I've got the hang of this place now.

I think the quietness at City tells another story. City would've briefed the press by now if they knew we did not have a shot at him and he was off to Spain.

We have heard from Spain for the past three or four years, that each summer they are going to splash the cash, and with the exception of Hazard in 2019, neither of the two big clubs really have. Madrid is hardly getting the interest rates from the banks that they once did and need to pay off the renovations at the Bernabeu, and Barca cannot afford him regardless of what Laporta says. If anything this looks like a statement to get the fans back excited about the club until the summer when they miss out on the CL and have no cash to spend.

These reports from Spain sound more like conjecture more than anything. I don't think any decision has been made.

I read the Marca story this is referring to and it never explains where they got the information about this said deadline.
But it should also be noted that it also doesn’t say Madrid and Barcelona are the “favorite clubs” as the tweet insinuates. Here’s what it says:
“The striker has been enjoying the time off granted by the winter break in Germany by holidaying in Marbella, which has got some people talking about a move to Spain and put Barcelona and Real Madrid on alert. Both clubs will be making moves to try and lure the hot prospect to the Camp Nou and Estadio Santiago Bernabeu respectively, but they aren't the only teams in the race.”

You’re on the right path, but I would also add that we don’t have the local media on our side to be making similar noise, unlike the Madrid and Barcelona propaganda newspapers. Imagine if United had a real shot...

If he refused to sign an extension,what could we do?

Saying that,if Raiola was still involved,he'd make sure we got a fee,so he'd get a slice.

We'd sell him before he walked away for free.
