Erling Haaland

[Centurions]

Not at all I love both players, I'm picking what I believe would be a deadly starting 11. I rate Torres very highly and prefer Rodri in the defensive midfield position to Rodri. I love Foden and would always have him and KDB in the starting 11. As you and I well know it's a squad game and I'd love to see that starting 11, absolutely no disrespect intended but it's easy to criticise, isn't it.

May I ask specifically what you don't like about this starting 11?

Well I'd have Stones over Laporte for starters :)

 

[Barcon]

Well I'd have Stones over Laporte for starters :)

And Zinchenko over Cancello.

Footballers are human, someone offers crazy wages to Haaland he is going to take them, he would be a fool not to and if you were in his position you would do the same.

Depends on the team, but those that can afford it operate at the higher reaches of football.

I think he sees himself as the natural successor to the Ronaldo/Benzema era at Real Madrid.

He will make as much off field as on field, will be soaking up the sun all day every day, and will be living in a fuck you villa on a mountain side, with a fuck you pool out back (which is actually usable!), and a garage full of fuck you cars in the stable.

I think he’d take less money from RM than it would take to bring him here.

It’s written in the stars, isn’t it?!

Shame on me, I forgot Little Kev.

I'd have Laporte over

if you had to shoehorn anyone in, the question is how to get Walker, Laporte, Dias and Stones in a defence. But Cancelo has huge potential and I prefer him at left back to Zinchenko

 

[LongsightM13]

Hah hah cheers pal, had to defend a few digs today, keeps you on your toes though eh!

I'm currently wining and dining, very classy, Tyskie and chipotle chicken wings mini cheddars.

Hope you enjoy your evening also, but that's some team though eh?

True, we don’t always appreciate what we already have, especially during a transfer window, enjoy your weekend

Just one signing and this is our starting 11!
Young, hungry and very, very scary.
You could argue strengthen left back or defensive midfield and at times I would but just adding Haaland makes us the deadliest team on the planet.

unfortunately Pep has his sights set on Kane alone....

The ONLY way this happens is if Levy holds out and we dont get Kane and no one pays Dortumunds ridiculous demands this year leaving us to fight it out for Haaland (and his buy out clause) next season...

For me someone getting Haaland for 75m (or whatever it is) next year and us paying 120m+ for kane is a bit sickening.......esp if he goes to a prem rival.....Chelsea, Utd and even the red scousers wuold all go for him at that price.....Chelsea are already trying this transfer window.

I think Monsieur Mbappe will be fighting him for the keys of the villa but I understand what your saying.

Our greatest weakness is our location but fortunately the major European clubs are in a financial crisis as well as their leagues, that's a huge advantage at this time.

 

[doobyedoobye]

I would wager a tidy sum that Kane made it abundantly clear he would come to City and had zero interest in any other club while Haaland's camp did not commit and went on a European vacation

Not everyone is sun mad.
I think the Norweigan/ Englishman could adapt.
Don't remember Dortmund being red hot.
He can have the hills the cars and all the trappings he wants.
Manchester is the place for this guy,
Nothing better than a Radcliffe hot tub in November!

Fuck me
The Barca visit!!! That took the piss.
Trying to drum up a bidding war went well didn’t it?
Basically haaland can either go to Chelsea Or stay at Dortmund, not much of a choice is it?

In current circumstances Chelsea is probably a great move for him tbf. If I was 20 years old again and had the choice, London would probably have swung it for me.

Haaland should be our number 1 transfer target, id be happy if we only signed him this summer

 

[BufordUSABlue]

Giroud gone. Confirmed by AC.

Now our top target, Giroud has moved on it looks like there's still a chance of our Plan B, who is Haaland.. I think. :-)

Huh? Since when was Giroud a transfer target at all.

We seem to be mostly interested in Kane - as Kane clearly wants to play for us and is top class. Secondarily we seem to be pursuing Haaland - in case the Kane deal falls through.

This, IMO, is a huge mistake. Sign Haaland at all cost.

Was a 30 page thread on here a couple of days ago that had both Tolmie and BS confirm we were all in for him?
Did you not see it?
Must have been deleted after City gave Ric a bell...
