Erling Haaland

I can’t see us buying him for that amount of money.

Neither can Pep :-)

If we dont get him I sincerly hope Pep and the club come out and say we wont deal with raiola and thats why we didnt buy him

Agree but this is what I was concerned about, Has Mino managed to convince his father that the best thing for his son is to stay at Dortmund for another year and wait until next year, when teams are in a better situation to spend?

Mino might of convinced Alfie, but Dortmund have a say in this, and have recently lost a lot of money by being greedy with Sancho. His release clause is a lot cheaper next season, and Dortmund probably need to balance the books.

Alfie is just being his Dad, hearing the offers and seeing no shenanigans are going on.... hearing said offers, first hand, is a little easier to digest without the Mino seasoning that always accompanies said deals...

I wonder why he did the same when a guest at city?

No need to say anything.

If Raiola is responsible for causing the breakdown of a potential big transfer, due to his greed, then he is stupid and loses his massive cut, as well as potentially losing future clients .

Not really, we are not desperate.

We won 21 games in a row this season (the previous all-time record was 14 games!) without a top top finisher and, who knows, we may win the lot in several weeks. Maybe, just maybe, we should trust the team, the manager, the club bosses a little bit more.

Why do some fans think they know better than Txiki and Pep what we need and at

Let's hope this is right but I get a feeling this would be a massive opportunity missed to pull further away from our rivals

You're apportioning blame to something that hasn't happened, and might not

That isn’t beyond the realms of possibility but will Dortmund be in a position to take that stance? I’m not too sure..

This idea that the economic recovery, not just in football, will be reset in 12 months is also folly, we are taking about a global economic decline, it’s not isolated to one country..

Dortmund will be no better off in 12 months, both in terms of his release clause but also other teams ability to do the type of business they’re touting, if anything Pep is reinforcing that point and a deal will have to be done!

Agree.

In the last few years clubs overplaying their hand has seen them end up with fuck all. Napoli with Koubalily and Crystal Palace with Zaha. While huge money signings like Griezman, Slab head Maguire have been shocking examples of clubs panicking and thinking they must have this footballer and overpaying.

Dortmund had the chance to rinse Woodward last year for sancho but ended up with a player who looked pissed off at the start of the season. I would be amazed if they got anything like the fee they were offered 12 months ago. As for Haaland, they either sell big this year or low next year. If they don't and they go against that agent it will be months of mouthing off in the press.

The other issue is do you want that fuck of an agent in the club? There is a reason why proper managers and clubs steer clear, he is a decisive negative factor in any transfer. I would nearly spend the extra on Kane.

We are currently a long way away from pulling away from our rivals.
