Erling Haaland

Friends and family, mainly. Casual conversation can easily end up in media hands.

Tolmie a great example. His most recent update was sourced from someone close to the Haaland family, per TH.

Yeah good point.

@sport: #ManCity have informed Erling Haaland that they will better any offer made to him this summer. @mancity officials are working to ensure the striker does not ‘slip through their fingers’ and are ‘optimistic’ about their chances of signing him. [via @Sport_Witness]

I can see it now.

United finish 6th, absolute turmoil. We win the league, FA Cup and CL treble. Mid June we announce the signing of Haaland, just days after Pep signs his extension.

Ladies and gentlemen, may I present to you summer 2022.

If Carlsberg did summers

If Carlsberg did summers

Based on the available info, I’d say there’s a 70% chance this summer could indeed be one that carlsberg brew for us.

This saga in the summer is going to be grim whichever way it goes.

If carlsberg brewed it then the chances are it’d be piss poor.

I highly doubt our guys are daft enough to make a comment like that

Yeah, he didn’t write the article but it’s interesting he chose to tweet it…

 

[skillman]

LUUUUUUUUUUUU (I’m disgusted and I’ll see myself out)

Or the media will make anything up to fit their narrative— specifically the media around the Spanish clubs that LOVE to claim EVERY player “wants Madrid/Barcelona”

 

[richards30]

HOLY FUCK! :-0

Lu Martin, she knows what she’s talking about!

(A very inside joke for those who have been following this thread for a long time, lol)

"Tell us what they offered and we'll double it".
Insane that some people actually think this is how negotiations work in real life, especially within our club. As history has shown, we are more likely to back out of a bidding war, than winning it. If he ends up here, its because he thinks this is the best move for his career, not because we outbid everyone else.

Sarcasm? I’ve literally never heard of Lu Martin. Have I missed something?

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

He must be joining us

talkshite discussing the best striker in the world and Haaland apparently isn’t anywhere near Kane and Lewandowski

They’re probably right.

He does have 8-12 years to reach their levels and beyond though.

 

[Centurions]

Sarcasm? I’ve literally never heard of Lu Martin. Have I missed something?

Along with Pol Ballus(sp) I think they've written books on Pep and Barcelona, whether that makes them 'close' to Pep is another thing entirely.

He wrote the book on Pep along with Pol Ballus.
