Erling Haaland

Going to Barca- daily mail said so :)

Well they have that Spotify money and all that debt is not a problem it seems.

I personally cannot see him staying at Dortmund for another year, even if a move to a supposedly more fancied destination was on the table.

I really don't see RM getting both Mbappe and Haaland, as I believe both would want to be the poster boys of the clubs that they sign for. Also I would factor in that we have Pep, whilst RM have a revolving door, and so who know's what tomorrow brings for them.

I am sure he would have had a decent look around when the Etihad campus when he was over with Dortmund, and let's face it, I am sure they would review the whole infrastructure, although I am slightly biased, I cannot see a club out there that is run as well as our organisation. The worldwide coverage of the CFG, the executives we have in place, even down to the fact that our recently formed US team won the MLS, it's all so impressive.

I think his stock is high at the moment, despite his injury record this season, so Mino and Alf will strike whilst the iron his hot. I feel his logical destiny should be City.

Agreed, but logic, is more often than not, trumped by hard cash :-(

The sooner we get this kid,or a fully fit Delap,in the side,is the day we start seeing the best of our individuals again.This false 9 system is doing a job,but it's very much contributing to a drop in form for some.

A drop in form for some. Who exactly?
Tbf the false 9 system has been going on for some time, brought us a PL title and a final in the CL.

If we play with a true CF we will soon find out how much better we become. Obviously I hope and expect us to get better.

i'm a fan of the false 9 system but we score less with it, that's really my only gripe. i am of the belief this team will be even better with a striker.

Think we concede less with it too because we have more control, with the right striker I think the team would score a few more but not a great deal more, at best maybe 15 ish per season. The quaestion for me though is would those extra goals be in games where we draw or lose narrowly, so Southampton or the losses to chelsea last season, or would they be goals in games which are already won.
I think as long it's the former then great but think the pool of strikers that fall into that category is very small. Haaland would probably be one though.

Peps next masterclass. The False 9 systems control with the 17/18 systems goal scoring ability.

Be Afraid.

At least it allows Foden to play midfield, his best position. Can see a future midfield five of Foden KDB Grealish Palmer and Bernardo. This excites me and if those five can’t feed Haaland with 30 goals a season then I’m a Dutchman.

Dortmund's Haaland replacement is more or less sorted.

think we concede less on account of having a better defense imo

sadly the player is letting the agent pimp him to anybody with the biggest offer and not football reasons.
if newcastle stay up i can see them paying crazy money to jump the que and the agent making him sign for them

money reason vs football reason winning silverware and medals ? sadly money wins hands down
