You are missing something. He clearly knows where he wants to go and it doesn’t involve City or Chelsea. I refuse to believe neither of us were at the table, so he’s definitely made it clear what he’s looking for.I thought haaland to city was an absolute shoe in to be honest.
You would he getting a beast of a player for at least a decade.
Maybe I'm missing something but it looks like we're not interested at least for now and spending 100m on Kane instead who maybe we will get 4 to 5 years at best if his dodgy ankles hold up.
For me this was a golden chance to assert our authority and boss the league for a few years to come with a player of Haalands nature.
I think it's more of that he was non-commitale,You are missing something. He clearly knows where he wants to go and it doesn’t involve City or Chelsea. I refuse to believe neither of us were at the table, so he’s definitely made it clear what he’s looking for.
Kane and Grealish signing definitely asserts our authority in the league. Takes two of the best players in the league and puts them in a team that comfortably won the title last year.
Yes I suspect Bayern tooI think it's more of that he was non-commitale,
Think that may be why Chelsea didn't sign him either, He will learn this summer.
He's off to Bayern next year imo
He then smashed it up in Germany last year and has the best first 3 seasons in the CL ever.Håland was playing in Austria two years ago, is that really much better than the Championship?
Yes, a terrible idea having your dad running your career for you... probably won’t have his best interests in mind, right?Haaland, another one who needs more time. It's hard to judge him right now, he's had one good season in the Bundesliga. His agent and his entourage have created this image with one intention, money.
He's young, obviously talented. But he has the wrong people around him.
Lots of examples where having a parent running a career isn't the best idea. Think getting Raiola involved is a bad move to start with.Yes, a terrible idea having your dad running your career for you... probably won’t have his best interests in mind, right?
I have already said many times on this thread that Raiola isn’t different from the vast majority of agents. He operates behind the scenes like most of them except when his big mouth gets the best of him in public. And he is a very good agent to the players. But I accept that you can’t fight it when people already have notions about him engraved on their heads. He will forever be perceived as the worst of them all despite the evidence.Lots of examples where having a parent running a career isn't the best idea.

Think the reason he isn't signing for anyone this summer isn't because of who his agent is it is because of various demands made by his dad and Raiola, those same demands will limit his choices next summer too. Observations pointed out when you were adamant at the start of the summer there was no way he'd still be at Dortmund next season.I have already said many times on this thread that Raiola isn’t different from the vast majority of agents.

And sure, a father can bring a problem to a player’s career... just like anyone could. You take Messi and Neymar and their dads have been great to their careers.
Not signing a player because of an agent is stupid, period. And we’re not that. We had a Raiola player on Saturday on the bench.
Raiola will get him the best moves and the most money. Doesn't sound like a bad idea to me!Lots of examples where having a parent running a career isn't the best idea. Think getting Raiola involved is a bad move to start with.
Agreed, but don't forget that Messi's dad landed them both with convictions for tax evasion. Not exactly the best moment of his career...I have already said many times on this thread that Raiola isn’t different from the vast majority of agents.

Most money yes, best footballing moves not necesarrily. There will be clubs priced out, especially now.Raiola will get him the best moves and the most money. Doesn't sound like a bad idea to me!
Three to five years with Bayern, then (assuming he maintains/improves on current standards) a stellar move to Real Madrid to see out his career.
That's the most obvious path imo. Clubs with huge, long-standing, worldwide profiles. It's how any good agent would market a top talent.
Yes I was incorrect. He isn’t moving not because of his dad or Raiola, that’s a silly statement, but because of the fee Dortmund is asking. That’s extremely obvious to anyone. I thought they would have been more flexible and I was wrongThink the reason he isn't signing for anyone this summer isn't because of who his agent is it is because of various demands made by his dad and Raiola, those same demands will limit his choices next summer too.

Getting a player to play for Bayern and Madrid isn’t a good footballing move?!best footballing moves not necesarrily
I very much doubt Madrid can afford what it will cost, they wany Mbappe anyway. Not even sure Bayern will pay what Raiola and his dad want either. My guess is he ends up at united, so yes the extras will limit his options and it will be money his hangers on get not him he'll get a good wage wherever he goes.Getting a player to play for Bayern and Madrid isn’t a good footballing move?!
Whilst I agree with you, Gary Coleman & Britney Spears don’t ;)Yes, a terrible idea having your dad running your career for you... probably won’t have his best interests in mind, right?
You need to go back and read what the poster said. He said he’d be a few years at Bayern and then off to Madrid. Their financial situation in four or five years likely won’t be as badI very much doubt Madrid can afford what it will cost, they wany Mbappe anyway.
