Erling Haaland

Mbappe, Pogba and Haaland will be there next summer

Mbappe + Haaland would be terrifying together, good thing they're after Pogba as well to bring them back down to earth a little

My opinion is based on a lie?
No, its my opinion based on living in the real world and clearly seeing what is happening.

If Haaland wanted to come here we wouldnt have spent all summer chasing Kane. Unless of course Pep just doesn't want him, as wild as that may seem to be for some.

How about we didn’t have 175M sitting around for Dortmund plus 40M for Raiola and Alf? What an implausible explanation!
Maybe Kane was indeed Pep’s top choice even with that in mind. (Although the fact we held talks about Haaland makes it unsure.) That’s dead now. And as @twosips says, the club would rather invest in a project/young striker, so next summer (or January, who knows), that has the better chance of being what guides the decisions

Just an idea and maybe the perfect scenario for City and Dortmund. City agree to do a deal in Jan for the player for 100m. That why Dortmund get him for CL group stages, and City end the campaign with him.

Like I said just an idea

Having money in the bank and having it to spend in one deal isn’t how it works

I have heard this before but it depends on whether they qualify

They'd have 5 months to work on a replacement

Haaland could want to go to Madrid for any reason. Mbappe wouldn't make any difference. If anything it might strengthen the case for Haaland to go to a club capable of attracting Mbappe.

We won't have months discussing anything. There is no discussion to be had, Haaland isn't signing for City. Anyway, will put you on ignore for now, then next summer when hes next to Perez or Kahn being unveiled it will all be over.

Or we only went for Kane because the ridiculous money and terms being asked for Harland made it a non starter.
Harland may well be responsive to coming here and we may well want him - but the conditions imposed by their side meant only Kane was a viable option.

if they qualify from their group than undoubtedly having haaland in the latter stages will be worth more to them than the 25m between what we offer them and what they'll get in the summer

Our pursuit of Kane tells us he didn’t show interest in coming here

IMO the clear difference was pep not only wanted Kane more but Kane agreed to only push to move for City.

Haaland was willing to listen to offers from Real/pre-audit Barca/Chelsea and possibly others. We seem to be furious the minute a player talks to anyone else.

I'm fine with refusing to get into bidding wars that is smart and saved us a bunch of times already. But if we bail on targets merely because they don't go insanely all-in for City and ignore all other clubs then we're just scared money and it's going to keep being a problem moving forward.
