Erling Haaland

[balotelli's back pocket]

If anyone actually thinks that Haaland is signing for Barca, I've got some magic beans to sell you.

That's because City don't tip off the press in order to look credible.

This is what I was getting at. The reporters knew they were there for a reason. Agent and father will have spoken to other clubs in the past weeks/months but this is the first time they've been spotted?

Right after Laporta's election and aiming to please? Forgive me for the pessimism.

On a lighter note, Txiki could well be in Barcelona...

He's a major part of his sons career so would be shocked if he wasn't.

Just makes it more serious than just Raiola on his own...Both parties are obviously interested

 

[Sheikh rattle and roll]

Yeah for sure but this is the first we’ve seen of them actually going to see someone?

If I was Dortmund I would be unhappy
If I was City I would be unhappy
I’m hoping we’ve spoken to him and he has made his demands and intentions clear
and therefore doesn't play the field
Ultimately though the player will decide where he wants to go
It also always irritates me when people say why haven’t we signed X Y Z
Perhaps we have asked tried and been rebuffed
If he isn’t interested I’m guessing would would know though

Or Laporta is desperate for the publicity, so that he can go "But you saw we tried to get Haaland"

I just hope it’s nothing major and they’re just feeling out all options but I’ll be majorly disappointed if we don’t get him. I know there is a chance it isn’t our fault but this signing is such a big statement

Of course, it would be negligent on the part of Haaland's negotiating team not to give every offer consideration.
It also helps their cause to be seen talking to the big boys of world football.
He might even sign for them, who knows?
I'd still put ourselves as favourites though due to us ticking far more boxes than Barcelona.

Time for all the flappers to come out lol

Hey if I see some negative news I reserve my right to flap! Then if we sign him I can say I was never worried and knew we’d get him all along :)

I disagree you can have a phone call to discuss what is on offer or alternatively have a discreet meeting
All the main players will know his worth his price and his terms
if I wanted City I would say
I am to come for X Y Z end of
If my demands are met I would then make it known I’m off elsewhere
let’s face it there will be very little between what the main players are offering
