Erling Haaland

[Thenumber1blue]

And we learnt our lesson. Never again will we pay such an exuberant fee for a single player. We have more success via giving the academy lads a run and making more modest signings. The Pepe signing was us trying to be something we are not. As for PEA wages, thats the going rate or the top tier players. Martinelli and Saka will be offered a 200k a week contract at the seasons end. No one can avoid paying top wages if you want to keep your best players. As Liverpool will find out the hard way if they dont meet Salah's 400k a week demands.

63m for Haaland is a steal. But the side deals for the dad and agent are poor form. Especially the agent, fucking leeches of the game.

Any chance we do a retweet thing on this for everyone to laugh at

You do realise Arsenal pay agents fees, don't you? Nobody gets away with not paying.
If I could be arsed I would try and find out how much of Pepe's fee went to the agent.
Good that uefa look to be clamping down on this almost racketeering behaviour by agents.

Haaland waits for Real Madrid

His environment assures AS that he has not yet signed anything with Manchester City. The Norwegian wants to speed up his options to play for Madrid.


Erling Haaland (21) wants to leave Real Madrid's door open until the last moment. As AS has been able to learn from sources very close to the footballer, to date he has not made a commitment to City. Furthermore, his idea is to leave the two options open, that of Guardiola's team and that of Real Madrid, until the end of the season. The reason is simple. He is still waiting for a carom that will allow him to fulfill his dream of wearing white. Until Mbappé takes the step of signing for Madrid, he will not take his step to go to Manchester.

Haaland has already told the Dortmund officials that he will not continue next year, which is a big step. So much so, that Borussia has streamlined the steps to sign a substitute. The chosen one is Adeyemi (20 years old), from Salzburg, who has scored 21 goals this season, three of them in the Champions League. From Borussia they continue to deny that Haaland has informed them that he is leaving (although he has). It can not be any other way. If he announced it, the operation would be more expensive for Adeyemi, for which he will pay around 40 million euros.

Borussia already projects a future without Haaland. In addition to Adeyemi, two other operations are advanced, those of Nico Schlotterbeck, a 22-year-old central defender from Freiburg, and Schlager (24), a midfielder from Wolfsburg. In total, he plans to spend between 75 and 100 million, just what he should receive for the transfer of Haaland.

Until now Haaland has remained faithful to the word he gave to Real Madrid, who has the "yes" from the Norwegian in case the whites want to launch the operation. But events change fast in football. The confirmation of Benzema's good moment and the high commissions requested by Raiola and the footballer's father have cooled Madrid's position which, as AS has revealed, is now turning to other objectives: Rüdiger (is released) and Tchouameni are the ones who will accompany Mbappe. In any case, the French star of PSG must take the final step (the Parisian club is still trying to renew him). When his transfer to Madrid is a fact (not public, but consummated, and reaches the ears of Raiola) Haaland will already feel free to sign for City. Meanwhile, wait for Madrid.

In the midst of all this don't forget this old fart who reported it first.

It was a nice win. Are we really going to claim three points against Chelsea is the barometer of overall success? Does that completely override the consecutive losses to Palace, Brighton and Southampton beforehand?

You're jumping the gun mate, you've had no success yet. Last time you won a trophy, who was the man of the match? Who played alongside him on the right wing?

You might be fantasising about winning something or everything with a team full of kids like some kind of romanticised version of what happened under Wenger but you're not getting there without significant investment in the team. Mostly because a lot of those young players are nowhere near as good as you seem to believe.

What was it last week? Martinelli is an Henry level talent and Odegaard will be in the running for the Balon d'Or?

Be realistic FFS.

I think it’s a fair point that the agents are taking the piss with their commission.

But that is their business model.

They clearly have a sweetheart deal with Dortmund, where they get one of the best players in the world for a couple of years, then turn a tidy profit on him.

The agent then makes a killing on the big move, but City are still getting a player worth £200m for about £94m total, so who loses out?

Dortmund get a player they would never realistically be able to get for a couple of years and make a big profit on him, the agent gets a big commission, City get a player for half his true value, Haaland gets his dream move, so everyone’s a winner (except all the other clubs who fancied him and didn’t get him ;-))
