Id say we also need a left back but I get your pointThis guy and a top quality centre midfielder and we would have a fantastic team again. We only need those two signings and we should therefore go for it and no reason why we can’t afford it.
rather than buy 4 average players.
he would add something different as well
I’d think £70 mill is very optimistic, I’ve got no idea if we’ll go big this year or not, ps about time we did lunch and post pics to everyone in T3 :-))))Messi free and wages covered by commercial deals. This guy 70 million?! A left back 40 million and we have some team next season.
I agree Bob but we won't will we.Our need for a striker is much, much greater than that of Bayern, United, Madrid, Barca etc so we have to be approaching this deal with as much aggression as possible to get it done. We simply need this guy, he's an astounding talent with past links to the club, get him in no matter how many toes have to be stepped on
70 mil will only buy one leg if he keeps scoring for fun mate. We need to buy him whatever it costs as his value is increasing weekly.Messi free and wages covered by commercial deals. This guy 70 million?! A left back 40 million and we have some team next season.

Not arsed about Messi though. Too old and wanted for commercial reasons above his footballing skills. And there's no guarantee he'll light up the prem at 34.
Messi is unproven in a league commonly regarded as the toughest league in the world. Silva proved himself for 10 seasons here. The argument about Messi being better than Silva, well I'm not arguing, he is(for now). But Messi has played all his career in a soft two horse league where they throw themselves to the floor as soon as anyone makes contact, especially in the box! Messi is getting too old and I very much doubt he can hack a tough new challenge here, and whether he still has the drive to succeed when he's getting clattered weekly. Besides, our club is about 11 players out there, and I won't be getting a semi on if I see Messi beating a few Burnley plodders and the like. And I don't want to see a media and gloryhunter wankfest. I can already imagine the tabloid back page headlines - MESSI GETS 'EM MESSY! : /Messi is better now than someone like Silva was in his prime, so not really in agreement on the skills part.
I’d love to see us splash out on Haaland though.
I think it’s been said about a thousand times in this thread, but I’ll say it again. Haaland has a €75m release clause!!70 mil will only buy one leg if he keeps scoring for fun mate. We need to buy him whatever it costs as his value is increasing weekly.

Do you think you are telling me something I don't know?I think it’s been said about a thousand times in this thread, but I’ll say it again. Haaland has a €75m release clause!!
Do you think you are telling me something I don't know?
You said 70m would only buy one leg and his value is increasing. He still has a release clause of 75m
I did, and I know.... It was a joke btw : /You said 70m would only buy one leg and his value is increasing. He still has a release clause of 75m
Fair enough. Quite a few people on here talking about how we should offer 100m+ for him etcI did, and I know.... It was a joke btw : /
I agree Bob but we won't will we.
We might be prepared to go to £70m
Raiola is an arsehole. The rags are facing Leipzig tomorrow in a very important game to go through to the knockout stages, and Raiola has today said that it`s over for Pogba at United, trying to disrupt the dressing room. A pain in the arse to negotiate with, and as you say he would probably try to move Haaland on in 3/4 years. There`s a reason why De Ligt went to Juve for example, in a few years Raiola will offer him to Barca/Real/PSG/BayernI read a few weeks back that the agent (Mino?) of Haaland has a habit of moving players on every few years.
As much as I'd love to have him here, I'd rather us have the security of keeping him - like Aguero, Silva, Toure, Kompany etc. did/have done - rather than losing him a few years on so the agent can get his next pay day.
