Correct. They can be rude to me all they want. That poster was being condescending too (“Can't understand these threads”) like we’re a bunch of delusional idiots. I already said, 95% of this transfer forum is condescension and tactlessness (you’re no different than I or the rest, btw), so I won’t try to be anything else.

 

[Keeper!]

Yep, absolutely. Can't understand these threads. Players like this guy never come to us. Absolutely never. Ever.

Ever.

Yaya, David Silva, Aguero, Fernandinhio, Gundo, Dias, Sterling, Mahrez etc may all disagree.

We pay for the big players in fees and wages when they are players that will improve this team.

We will not pay too much for any player, we set a value and stick to it, that is called good business practise and why we have and will continue to be a model run, successful football club.

 

[Kinkladze's crazy skills]

As I've said previously, this guy ain't coming here.

Why is this meant to be impossible? Must be as impossible as Aguero signing, or David Silva too both players were extremely high profile back then even if you weren't aware of that, anyone who watched the Spanish league sporadically knows they were destined to be world class superstars, the only reason the likes of Real and Barca didn't go for them was timing it was bad for them and we took advantage, for the time the wages we offered were supposedly scandalous then we took that to a new level with Yaya... If we want someone you bet your arse we'll go all out for them, we're one of the big boys and once players join us generally love it once here, Sergio or David could've easily spat their dummy out and demanded Barca or Real moves but they loved it here, we're the best ran club in the world we're extremely ambitious it'd be very stupid for us to have zero interest in Haaland.

Yep, absolutely. Can't understand these threads. Players like this guy never come to us. Absolutely never. Ever.

Ever.

These pages are just a bit of fun to pass the time don't let it brother you, we've gone above and beyond for many players in the past if we see someone we like we'll slpash the cash, for anyone to think Haaland signing is completely unrealistic then that's more than naive.

No idea what that has to do with signing the likes of Haaland.

We're an ambitious club when we want somebody whether a player or manager then we'll go all out for it like I've said, plus the the fact Haaland has a set release fee and set agent fees means it's very easily done exactly how we like our deals to be... It won't take long for whoever signs to get the deal done and when we want someone a deal is generally done with haste. We were prepared to offer a lot for Harry Kane in fee and wages if you don't think he'd have cost the same as Haaland with all fees you're wrong, or you don't think we wouldn't have paid him extravagant wages as in our highest paid or jointly highest then you're defo mistaken... Haaland ain't gonna be on 800k a week from a club like many moronic journalists have said, if he joins and continues his goal record though don't be surprised if he got a hefty wage rise after 2 seasons.

The truth is, even if we do sign Haaland, the “we don’t sign these big players” crowd will just internalize it as “signed because he had a release clause” and continue to use this cliche, the same way they still pretend we didn’t overpay for Grealish after years of saying we don’t pay “those numbers” for a player. They can never lose.

 

[blue b4 the moon]

I’d love to slice this arrogant ****’s head off.

It's like Klopp no journo ever pushes the bollocks they've spoken in the past back at them.

Must admit that I can never understand why someone would bother to post in a thread saying, “this guy isn’t coming here” and intend to be so conclusive about it. Just pointless and adds nothing.

And do it a couple or more times per month

If it's all about money and nothing else, it will be either United or PSG.

If it's all about playing for the biggest and most successful club in the World and in Europe, and living a comfortable life in a nice climate, it's Real Madrid.

If it's all about playing for the best football Manger in the World, playing in a fantastic team, winning trophies, following in your Father's footsteps, and playing in the PL, it's City.

If it's taking the easy option and staying in Germany, it's Bayern Munich.

If it's Chelsea or Liverpool, I'd be surprised and disappointed, especially the Scouse c*nts!(perish the thought)

Ahhh, think Xmas got to you !! football Manger ;-)
FWIW, the press seem to be upping our chances of getting Erling. No one really knows, and am surprised some seem entrenched in their opinions on this forum. Past experience shows, we all know FA.

TBH I didn't have that many scoops on Christmas Day. Maybe today?

Just an opinion. It's nothing more.

This Haaland saga will play out for the remainder of the season and into the Summer before Erling, Alf, and Raiola all decide where He is going. If people thought Isco and Ronaldo was a Circus, we haven't seen anything yet.

besides maybe Yaya..None of those players as good as they turned out (world beaters some of them) were the most sort after player in the world at the time (Maybe Kun but i doubt it...he was a very hot prospect and had been tearing up the spannish league but he didnt have the profile Haaland has at present --maybe some of that isnt deserved and Maybe Haaland isnt as good as kun was at his age but thats irrelevant to what we are talking about hear.......Haaland is a marquee signing, someone EVERY big team will go for, and we dont really do those.....nd none of those players you have mentioned at the time they signed for us were in that bracket

Haaland looks exceptional and a player I would love in sky blue, but stats apart he has done nothing as yet, so he is very similar to the players signed in the past decade.

 

[BlueAnorak]

I'd love it if he came to us but I think we would have to change our financial model to get him.
Dušan Vlahović is a much more likely option.

https://www.sundayworld.com/sport/s...ld-be-made-sooner-than-expected-41183418.html Big big news, the chance of us signing Haaland on a pre-contract in January is very high…

There is no such thing as pre contract with player having more than 6 months on his deal.

A) it is impossible for him to sign a pre-contract, with 2.5 years still to go on hia current one. pre-contracts are for the last 6 months of a player's contract, not applicable to a release clause.

B) Even if that article alone is what you are going off of, it literally says the exact opposite, that no decision will be made in January.

C)shit source

Not quite true. If clubs agree a fee, it absolutely is possible to pre-arrange a transfer for any date you like. Clubs can insert a ‘start date’ as they wish.

That said, I think the article is a heap of bollocks. But theoretically yes, it is possible.

What is it you mean by done nothing yet.

Not specifically Haaland, more what does a player have to do to have done something.

That is not a pre-contract then. It is a transfer between clubs. No it is not possible, not in the sense it was claimed.

We agree the article is mince.

We do agree, unfortunate as it may be.

The contract agreement would come after, also with the start date as agreed by the clubs. In short, we could theoretically agree a deal with both BVB and Haaland for January 2024 if we wish. Dates are absolutely not a blocker, it’s just rare because things change quickly. Huge risk for the buying club’s finances (as covid has shown), and a risk for the player (UCL qualification etc).

There’s nothing stopping us agreeing a deal now, for summer. On paper.
