I’m still amazed we never went in for Messi and PSG had a clear run at him. I wonder if that’s because we always had a longer term plan in place and let’s be honest this deal for Haaland is going to cost a serious amount of money.

The more I think about it as well you bid for Kane a top striker in world football but never really pushed that hard and you know Spurs are one of the hardest teams to negotiate with. I’m I thinking to much into this? But did we bid for Kane unsuccessfully on purpose and not pursue Messi on purpose because we always had this planned?

“Yes we really do want and need a striker please come here Erling”

We never went for Messi because we’d just signed Grealish. There was no room for him and our budget was down £100m.

At £500k p/w and a free transfer (plus signing on fee?) for a two year contract, the outlay per season wouldn’t have been too different to Kane.

Think we just didn’t want to go down that road again.
 
It’s sad seeing these reporters having to run a story they know is bullshit but needs to stay alive for commercial reasons

 
By the time Barca are in a financial position to make it work for Haaland he will already be at another club.

But they will get the “we’re back!” message out by just pretending to be in the race, which is the whole point. They already got their mouthpieces out running the “if we can’t get him, we’ll still get a big striker” spin

Yeah have never felt Barca is a realistic prospect for Haaland over Madrid (if Spain). Barca have too many other positional priorities for this summer - and with Aubameyang firing, there’s no desperation up top.

Painting themselves in the public eye as a sincere option for Haaland helps them secure targets elsewhere on the pitch though, for sure.

It’s us or Madrid. There was a time earlier in the season when I was concerned about the rags coming in with an absurd offer, as they often do with us, but they’re a total fucking rotten shambles. Unless my respect for Haaland is misplaced, he’ll take one look at them and laugh.

Us or Madrid. Outside chance of PSG.
 
Starving kids in Paris need looking after?
Surely can’t be football related because he’s fucking shit, he’s fucking shit, he’s fucking shit.

they like him. PSG wanted him last summer. There are people at PSG that see him as the replacement
 
Like Haaland, there’s more chance of me signing for them.
As if they’d go from Mbappe to Rashford !!

Well they are, they enquired about him last summer as a replacement if Mbappe left for Real Madrid in that window. It came out yesterday from multiple journalists that Rashford is still on the list as a replacement for Mbappe. PSG were told no last summer after asking about his situation , Poch is big fan of Rashford. Massive downgrade for PSG

You saying they are and saying there are journalists saying the same doesn’t convince me. They are that stupid, sorry mate.
