My man says we are not signing Haaland, Pep has other plans.

And what would they be

And what would they be

What you see now, false 9 is the future, Foden is earmarked for the role.

It's funny and quite fitting that a player from our then-average past, is potentially the key to us signing one of the most coveted players in the world - his own son! Love it.

And we haven’t even started trying to buy Claudio Reyna’s son yet.

Doesn’t seem likely that we’d just go with one plan with no alternative. Also Pep’s here until 2023 so any new manager may choose a different style and Haaland will be a top player for years to come

Thats what i was told and that there are alternative false 9s in Bernardo, Jesus, Raz.

Was also told rather cryptically that we ain't seen nothing yet in terms of playing style. This season we have evolved into playing without a CF, why would you change a winning system.

Or Kun & Fern sadly.

Very sad that TH 'liked' my post.

Moonbeam and Moonchester are getting furloughed.

Then again he 'liked' this one too so perhaps there's hope :)

Something is definitely afoot with regards Douglas Luiz at Villa.

I had heard we were inclined to bring him back at the £25m buyback clause which ends this summer.

Villa already value the player at £40m and I suspect we are just posturing about bringing him back and we are leveraging some of the difference against a discount for Grealish.

Similar to leveraging the sell on clause we have on Sancho, although we can let that ride if Haaland does have a buyout clause.

Dortmund can chum the waters but Haaland and his dad know the contract.

Laporte has piped down, thankfully.

Laporte was trying to leave??

 

[Centurions]

Laporte was trying to leave??

Perhaps he meant Laporta? Or at least that's what I'm hoping, although Laporte wasn't happy at one point seemingly.

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

Laporte was trying to leave??

I think it's pretty clear he was throwing his toys out of the pram a little bit, considering his public comments on his future and the lengths that Pep has gone to in accommodating him into the side.

Don't tell @kaz7 that you think Grealish is a genuine world class player, I don't think she's a fan.

i thought i hid it well lol
