Erling Haaland

[BAB.DAB]

We are pretty much the perfect football team. As great a player as Haaland is, he might just not be right for us. I'm torn, as I don't want anyone else to have him, but thinking logically Im starting to belive he wouldn't be a fit here.

He's perfect for City,

He's perfect for City,

Imagine him latching onto Edersons passes, another dynamic, 6 goal keepers!

 

[Lovebitesandeveryfing]

He's perfect for City,

He'd be an utter monster. Just the kind of bullying player — the one thing — that we don't have. But he's not just that, far from it.
Sort of liked the way he talked, too, the other night after the Bayern game. He said it was “a nice game”. Dripping with sarcasm.

I hope what you say is true but the fact that Pep wanted Harold Kane so badly last summer makes me think he may not fancy Haaland.

It worries me slightly that Kane may become Peps “Kevin Keegan/Robbie Fowler” obsession.

Pep might of read too many British newspapers that mislead people into believing Kane’s top draw.
Haaland signs, and I put my mortgage on us winning the league in his very 1st season

Terrifies me, and it has with Grealish.

 

[Tangled up in blue.]

If we are willing to pay what ever they demand, his fee his wages, his dads cut, and his agents fee, we will sign him

Big if given how city have operated with these kind of deals in past 3-4 seasons.

I know it's going against the grain, but if we are desperate to sign him I feel this is what needs to be done

We’ll pay the money. We have the money and we’ll pay the money. That’s been established from a few sources, not least Tolmie.

It’s all down to Haaland and Raiola now. We’re here if he wants us. I wouldn’t blame our club if he doesn’t come.

Edit: We also have the whole Puma thing going for us. There are a hell of a lot pieces falling into place, but it just needs the nod from the man himself. Not sure why people still have doubts about our willingness to pay up.

not even TH can establish whether we have the money....if another club comes in with an offer first noone outside of Khaldoon and Txixi know if we will match it.....no one really knows what Haaland/Raiola want either (everything in the media is pure specualtion) so again noone can know whether we will match what is needed....

Our record in deals such as this suggest that we wont (but it could be different this time)....Sanchez, Maguire Jorjihno to name 3 obvious ones where there was a bidding war and we dropped out (not that that turned out bad in any of those situations!)

I probably understand your anxiety more than some people will on here, but I think some of this is just down to the fact we haven't really seen a natural striker play in this team for over 18 months now, and possibly longer if you account for Aguero's injuries, and we are worried about upsetting things. But the thought of Foden, Jesus and Haaland as a front three, with two of Grealish, Gundo, Kev or Bernie feeding them, is a bit exciting. It certainly gives us another dimension.

Halaand is good, but the best FW ever in football history? I don't think so.

Absolutely possible

Just a shame we spent 100M on Grealish

 

[blueparrot]

Just a shame we spent 100M on Grealish

Why ? It has nothing to do with what we will or won’t pay for Haaland.

 

[domalino]

Just a shame we spent 100M on Grealish

If it wasn't for that we'd have 200 pages of comments saying we'd never spend the money on Haaland because we don't do mega transfers.

So that's a relief.

 

[Colin Bells Boots]

Another fuckwit comment

 

[MadchesterCity]

I just don't see it in him, good player yes, but 100M wtf in a position we're already loaded in for a player with low goal return in a front 3 position
The money all has to come from one pot, so wasted money somewhere could impact future investment

Well anyone making a judgement on a player we buy under Pep in their first season is a fool.
Having more money in an imaginary pot makes bugger all difference to what we are prepared to pay for Haaland. We will have a vlaue on him and being able to pay over that value doesn’t mean we would or should.

Unless Grealish turns out to be a great signing, which, seeing as he’s a great player isn’t beyond the realms of possibility.
Of course the few on here who have already made their minds up on him after less than 20 games will continue to tell everyone else he’s a waste of money.
