Erling Haaland

Willing to bet it won't even be the biggest move the league has seen this year, let alone decade.

So what is the biggest move in your opinion?

I don’t think it would be smart to bet against Haaland winning the Prem golden boot in his first season.

His stats speak for themselves, particularly his CL ones. 40% conversion rate isn’t it?

Wouldn’t bet against it but it will be a big move - the fee may impact him, the league is a lot quicker - most players take around a year to adjust - and the general standard of teams is higher than in the Bundesliga.

I just wish for the first time, we actually flex our financial muscle and get this deal done.

Send a message out, whatever the cost.

Tbf when City pull out of these type of deals we haven't faired too badly.

Utd flexed their financial muscle on Pogba, Sanchez and Maguire and we know how well they've done.

If he wanted to come we would sign him , simply as that. Now stop crying over it and move on ffs.

or if you’re stupid enough to think we will still sign him get in the 40/1 for him to sign for us.

40/1?

In terms of significance and contribution to their teams in the last decade Kev, Salad, VanDyke, Dias imo are all bigger moves than Kane would be. Haaland, when he moves will pip it this year.
It seems people have a hard-on for Shearer's record being broken, and because Kane once scored 30 goals in a wonder season, everyone thinks he will pip that with us.

We would be signing the England captain, one of the best goal scorers in the past 5/6 years and adding him to a team that just won the Premier League. KDB, Salah and VVD are only up there in hindsight, nobody knew what they would do when they arrived. KDB was class but in the Bundesliga, was no guarantee he would hit the level he has. Salah was scoring in Serie A but its a shite league and VVD was good at Southampton but no guarantee he would do what he did when he had to step up to that level.

Kane is going to break that record with or without City, what has that got to do with anything?

However, It is pretty much guaranteed he will score 25+ in all comps every year he is with us with the service he will get.

Definitely true when we’ve gone up against United. I suppose on the flip side you could argue that Hazard did well for Chelsea though

Shearers record, oh you mean the most goals ever scored in the prem. don’t make out like it’s nothing, you look a tit.

Agreed, I think its the financial package more than anything that's likely to have put City off, a reported fee north of 150M the payoff to Alf and Mino, maybe 20M a year in wages. Kane won't be cheap but the overall numbers will add up to a fair old amount in difference.

And we already have a fine young striker in Liam Delap which Pep will blood
This kid has huge potential our very own Haaland imo but we have to pe patient

We could do worse and have a look at what Tevez is up to these days. He could be back up to a main striker and he would love in this team.

You’re right, that would be worse.

A 37 year old striker with attitude problems who couldn’t cut it in the Chinese Super league. Jesus Christ.
