Erling Haaland

[not my fault!]

I know Txiki gets a bit of stick for his negotiating but as Chelsea allegedly bid £130m a few weeks back then a bid of £85m might be taking the piss a little

“Allegedly” so no not really, £85m is a good base to test the water officially.

 

[not my fault!]

not going to budge at that mate, i seriously think Haalands value could hit close to 200 million with the add ons, Mbappe not far behind him, crazy figures i know

He’s available for €85m next summer, that’s £72m! So that’s where you start, not suggesting for one minute they’d accept that 100%, but you’d a) know if they’d sell to us, b) what they want, c) if the player is even interested. As for Mbeppe it’s a buyers market, he’s stated he wants out, he’s also stated he’ll be going next year on a free and PSG now suddenly need a cash boost to comply with FFP to cover their signings let alone Messi coming in. It’s not as daft a bid as you think, and nothing to lose yet everything to gain.

Honestly think we got the player on board back before the CL games. The way he was chatting to Foden was same body language as Grealish. Holidaying with Mahrez, and the face Chelsea went in hard for him and Dortmund didn't even blink. Real will want Mbappe, Chelsea Lukaku, PSG in for Messi...

How does that explain the situation regarding Kane?

Then Haaland to the rags only club stupid enough to give him and his agent ridiculous amounts of money.

Maybe we’re just exploiting the Kane situation to do the hard miles on Haaland under the radar… I really hope so

That would make Kane part of the Machiavellian plot after his comments about playing with kdb!!!!!!

I think it's down to Kane's agent will suggest to his client that £350k a week and silverware is a good deal. Haaland's agent will be nowhere near as accomodating.

Haaland’s off to Madrid next summer

I hope so, .Kane is no mug but this guy is the real deal.

Could Kane be a smokescreen and we ultimately buy Haaland? I was convinced we were in for Koulibaly last summer and then bang: Dias.

Sadly the only smokescreen is from the crack we’re smoking by paying £150m for Kane.

Really don’t see us paying that much for him.

 

[I'm Blue]

I thought so too.
£120m was our supposed maximum, now all the talk seems to be we’ll pay £120-130m plus addons, so £150m no matter how you dress it up.
Complete madness, not only is he not worth that it’ll fuck up some of our future deals cos they’ll know if they play hardball we’ll pay it.

Just cannot see us paying that. Could easily be wrong but that seems excessive.

Excessive? It’s fucking robbery.

Daylight. It’s highly unusual for us to speak publicly about players and highly unusual for us to be involved in a public auction. Just doesn’t feel like us at all.

Scored twice in the DFB Pokal already and the first half isn’t yet over

 

[Damanino]

fucking hell this guy will shit load of goal in next 10 years. he will be the only one who will get close to to crazy goal tallies per season CR and Messi has had over last decade. Lewandowski had couple similar season too to be fair.

whoever brave enough to sign him will do a fantastic deal.
if we stick into Burnley imo he would still score a shit load there as well.

the step up from Salzburg/Austrian league to Dortmund/Bundesliga did not even cause any challenge for him.

wonder he was ever on our radar while at Molde and what was the reason we never made a move for him. also its very clever way of building him up to learn his trades at Salzburg then he could have gone to very strong clubs but chose another stepping stone club at Dortmund which is a great club for young players to get a chance and still play regular quality football and CL too.
I wish we were in for him.

too bad it seems certain Txiki is not in the business of getting him.
