But how would you feel if united were to get Haaland next season. Not saying Kane isn't a great striker, just saying how I feel and he doesn't excite me. Like I said I think he will come and I will probably change my mind when he is here. Never said my thoughts made sense just saying it's were my head is at the moment and going off the poll I am not the only one not overly excited by this likely transfer.
I don't think there's much chance of us ever signing Erling Haaland.
If we want him, we'll have to offer him something more lucrative than any other club is able to. We'll have to beat the contract offer and promises of Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern Munich, PSG, Chelsea, Manchester United and Juventus. Probably not all of them will be in the race but at least three or four as well as us.
Most of those will be willing to pay him something utterly absurd to get him to sign. I'm thinking in the realm of £400k a week plus big bonuses and a sign-on fee, then there's the agent fee that will presumably be in the realm of £30m like it reportedly was for Pogba. There's also a good chance he'll want a whole lot more in terms of perks and assurances, which isn't really our style.
When it comes down to it our club doesn't go to those ridiculous lengths to sign a player. Barca and Real do it at the drop of a fucking hat. It's a shame that we'll likely miss out on Haaland because of this policy but it's also the reason we're in good shape and half the clubs mentioned above are drowning in debt.
Kane by comparison seems attainable. We can probably pay him around the same wages that we're currently paying Sterling and KDB, which I think is fair for a player of his pedigree, and we don't have to worry about another top club coming in and smashing what we're willing to pay. By the time Kane is starting to decline in 4-5 seasons there'll be more great young strikers to look at.
