Erling Haaland

Jesus as a regular winger is not happening.

There’s been a rumor about this being Pep’s intention for next season

Delap is being sent on loan which is the right thing to do for now. Which is why the rumors about a second striker like a Daka or a Ings make sense. Not Haaland OR one of them but Haaland AND one of them

Delap being loaned I could also see, but I don't see us buying 2 strikers, that seems unnecessary to me.

I'd rather Jesus or Delap deputizing that back-up role. Delap being similar to Haaland to retain the style we play with Haaland.

Like trying to teach a pigeon to roller skate.

Like trying to teach a one legged duck to swim in a straight line.

No idea whether Delap will go on loan, he may well. Still can’t see 2 strikers, without somebody leaving we wouldn’t have room in the squad and we still have Jesus and the no striker option.

Rumours on an internet forum. It won’t happen. We already have Foden, Sterling, Mahrez, Torres and Bernardo who can play wide. Obviously Bernardo has played regularly as an 8 too this season. If any of the current wingers leave we still have 4 options for the wide positions and I believe we would then go for Grealish as someone else who can play wide or as an 8 if needed.

If Jesus stays he’s 2nd choice forward.

I can't see us buying Haaland AND Grealish, no way will we pay getting on for £200m for the two of them.

I think we could get both for around 170.

Factor in players we can sell from loans (CFG signings), and even the potential sale of Mahrez (which is the only way I see Grealish going anyways), the net cost is probably only 100m. Easy for the club.

All this gossip about us buying Ings is pure bollocks.


He`s at his level at Southampton. I can`t see him being bought by a top 10 club.

International break before UCL season is when we cover a lot of ground for most of our targets. I can't see Aguero staying longer, atleast not as our first choice striker from next season. We will HAVE TO have Aguero's successor as someone who can provide that same level of ability and marketability. If we still see reliable links to Haaland with some new information (developments, wages, on field interaction with Pep and City players), I genuinely think he's ours.

If not, I think we'll have moved on to our next target, and then we'll probably hear more reliable links with other players.

We would potentially make some serious cash on departing players though so I think 200 million on those two is plausible
