Erling Haaland

Sarcasm? I’ve literally never heard of Lu Martin. Have I missed something?

About a year ago he leaked our main interest that summer would be Kane when no one was talking about it. I doubted it, but he was correct

"Tell us what they offered and we'll double it".
Insane that some people actually think this is how negotiations work in real life, especially within our club. As history has shown, we are more likely to back out of a bidding war, than winning it. If he ends up here, its because he thinks this is the best move for his career, not because we outbid everyone else.

If you back out every time someone counter-bids you, then you'll never get anything. I doubt our leadership is so weak.

Better not be.

Reverse that idiom and if you pay enough every time, you’ll win every auction.

City will have a ceiling of what they think Haaland is worth and will walk away if the bidding goes higher than that.

City take the players that want to play for us, not the ones that want money from us.

I’m surprised anybody would think differently seeing as it’s an MO we’ve gone with for the best part of a decade.

Probably because this is “different” as it’s Haaland, who is a “generational talent” and we don’t have a striker and “need” one for “plan B”.

Damn, I forgot about “plan B”

Yep, when Pepball fails, Mike Bassett ball will prevail.

If carlsberg brewed it then the chances are it’d be piss poor.

Believe me, I wanted to change said brewery, but that’s the saying.
