Erling Haaland

[David Silva]

Laporta will have arranged them a lift and then tipped off the paparazzi. Barca politicking..

 

[lee_wsm]

It’s ok we have Danny Ings on standby

 

[skillman]

Aren't SPORT Barca's mouthpiece? We saw that with Messi these past few days.

 

[Akira]

Ah sure, can't afford Eric Garcia, but 100m++ for Haaland is a-okay.

 

[citytill1die84]

All to please Messi and when Haaland says he wants to join City they can say we tried Leo.

 

[Coatigan]

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

I'll take 3 please.

 

[The1nvisibleMan]

looks like they’re getting ready to make a decision and now they’re looking around to see who to pick

 

[Andrew___K]

Come on guys, stop panicking. Barca are in deepest financial hole possible and just were (once again) humiliated in the CL, no sane player of Haaland's stature is going to sign for them. Read Tebas' recent interview, even he thinks such deals for Lol Liga clubs are impossible now

 

[Bluemoonie92]

Its the 'big club' way. Make everything public and get their players to constantly hype them up. If he doesn't go there, then they can tell their followers they did everything they could... Thats when tebas comes out slagging us off again.

 

[Sheikh rattle and roll]

All to the Danny Ings thread then?

I always liked Danny he is in his prime and from the premium league ready to hit the ground running
Not sure what else I can say oh he is over his injuries and we think he can play until he is 40 in our team so it’s a long term signing
I hope not big come down
However Mbappe would work

 

[citizen_maine]

I would get that anyway
I would simply say this is what I am worth look at my age and record I want you however I need X to make it happen
I have interest from all over the world
But give me X and I sign now if not I’m off to speak elsewhere
your choice pen or passport

Or instead of "I have interest from all over the world" you can go "Barca have offered us £[x] and y - What are you offering?"

I agree that all makes sense but this is worrying news
I wouldn’t even waste my time speaking to them

 

[decmancity]

I understand that they are going to hear out proposals from all clubs, but I doubt Alf and Raiola have met all of them in person so there is obviously interest there from both sides. Laporta wouldn't surely come to the table if they cant finance it as that will get leaked and its embarassing on his side.

 

[TheThirdDeano]

Can’t wait for Barca to tell the world (more importantly their fans) that they tried but could compete with city’s money

 

[Sheikh rattle and roll]

Maybe however I know what I want and where I want to be give me it and we are all happy
Who knows we are all guessing
It just means bank holiday weekend will be a long one
Bloody Spanish ha ha

 

[DMA's]

So ...that photo has been verified?

Yes I think it has been photoshopped it looks like mangala to me (couldnt resist what a thread that was on villatalk)

Course they have, it's their fucking job. But only Barcelona are making a show out of it

 

[BAB.DAB]

Alfie being used by Barcelona"s media team,

 

[Gumzy97]

I predicted this, Laporta is a brilliant politician. #

This news brings the Barca fans more on side, so they dont turn when Messi leaves and excuses are made when Haaland dosent sign for example "we tried to get Haaland but he went for money to another team"

 

[Coatigan]

The fact that there is a meeting at all is surprising and concerning.

Indeed.

It is midway through a season. Dortmund have a top4 fight and CL games as earlynas next week.

No way his dad and agent would be going there This publicly, at This time if it wasn't in some way of genuine interest.

No way he would put his son in an awkward position with Dortmund and the press there at such a crucial point, just to go see whay Barca are up to, or to attempt tonstrengthen their negotiating hand. There is Something in this. Whether it is enough, who knows.
