Erling Haaland

Classy bastards

City saying nothing but made it plain they weren’t the source of the info.

So it’s either from Haalands/Raiola or BVB themselves.

I lean towards the Haaland end. I don’t think it’s in Dortmund’s interest to leak big news before Der Klassiker.

Stu Brennan will tweet later that the official line from City is ‘Haaland is a target and City are favourites but there is no agreement’.

So predictable.

Really looking forward to the true fee coming out. Including transfer fee, wages, tax, inflation, his dad’s old wage, taxi/air fare, cost of stationary, refreshments and the cost to publish all the stories. Sure there’s still a fair whack I’ve missed off. ;)

Isn't that a good sign as normally the club distance themselves from players they aren't interested in?

100%. We’re the first to deny false (major) reports.

I am desperate for him to sign, if nothing else he will bring a whole new dimension to our attacking options. Defenders will not be able to nudge him off the ball as they do with the likes of Sterling.

And he certainly won’t run after the ball with VVD and then stop in front of him wondering what to do.

And there's one more, which, if it were true, would raise the question of why the fuck Liverpool (with that world-beating squad) aren't winning everything:

- Klopp is the best manager in the world and one of the greatest ever

They currently have a pretty good chance of winning everything, or a combination of trophies, unfortunately. Up to us to stop at least 2 of those left.

For another thread though.

IF there is a deadline. Them telling Haaland they want a decision by whatever date does not a clause deadline make. Which is currently all that has been claimed.

There may well be a clause timeframe, makes almost no sense for that to be before the season ends. None of us can really know. Remember when quite a dew were convinced it would be triggered on the 1sr of Jan. Then March. etc.

Yeah you are right but I’m going off Tolmie saying a few pages back that Haaland MUST inform Dortmund of his decision by 1st May. There is surely something concrete about that date even if it isn’t the clause deadline (which it could be too)

Whether it is or isn’t I believe Dortmund will spill as soon as they are told by that date.

It’s now at the stage where confirmation will actually quieten things down.

Worth noting that Sky Sports are reporting it without quoting Keegan. Running it as their own story too.
