It's Quiet Thread 15 - Txiki Blinders

Yes we won with mfs but you take bernie out of the equation and you will have a different picture .

Only if we play with 10, if we sold Bernardo than we’d replace him.

 

[samarasra]

Of the two....I think we are a better team with Bernardo rather than De Bruyne.
We keep the ball better

I agree but better again with Kevin as a roaming attacker.

I think its pretty clear, the block on Haaland is not the transfer fee.

If we offered 120m-150mfor Haaland, I dont think Dortmund would be able to turn it down...they are a selling club...that is their business model.....Do you think their board of directors and major shareholders would risk losing anywhere between 60-90m considering his release clause next summer.....I dont

I don't think thats the issue, the issue is the lad doesn't want to come here. I have no proof, just a feeling.

I think Dortmund do sell for that price.

No.

The MEN have said "Regardless of speculation from supporters, it seems an announcement on where Fernandinho's future lies could be imminent."

Yes, they used the 'i' word...

Take it he isn't going to the Copa America?

Why don't you think Haaland would not want to play for the club that has arguably the best team in the world (or thereabouts) that he supported growing up?

well their plenty of rumours to the contrary that he does want to come here......

1. He wants to come to the prem - that means literally only 3-4 teams could afford him....Us, Chelsea and Rags....maybe the scousers

2. We have Pep who is regarded as if not the best manager of all time one of the best

3. The lad is highly driven and motivated....if he wants to win trophies we have won 8 out of the las possible 12 (I think)....so he would be considering us purely based on that alone.

4 and 5. His dad played for us and there is a good connection there...he used to support us and grew up watching us......

6. Attractive style of football

There is plenty to attract Haaland to us.....who else could afford him this year if he wanted to leave....

Barca are not going to g for him....they werent even before they got Kun on a free but now there is zero chance
Madrid - the are after Mbappe and Mbappe wants them......
PSG - would he go to a one horse league?

The only other real contender is Bayern - now if no one goes for him this summer, then Bayern will pounce on his release clause next summer (along with Chelsea and Utd) - but i dont think Bayern will go for him this summer as they will wait to get him on the cheap as is their way

Dortmund only sell if Haaland agrees to be sold and the question is why would he?

Say, for argument’s sake, that Haaland is worth say €150M, and if Dortmund wanted to accept an offer of €150M for him right now, then where’s the €30M for Raiola, €20M for his dad and €20M signing on fee for Haaland’s bank account in the Cayman Islands going to come from?
Well it would come out of the fee paid to Dortmund or Haaland wouldn’t move anywhere.
Therefore Dortmund wouldn’t actually make any more money by selling him now as opposed to selling him next summer.

And why would Haaland, his fat agent and his dad gift circa €70M to Dortmund when it’s their’s for the taking in 12 months?

To my mind this is likely to be the stopper.

Also, if Haaland is worth €150M now and if he performs consistently well and holds his value until next summer then Raiola will make sure that whoever buys him pays that full whack.

Some posters have the odd notion that Haaland will become a cheap buy because Dortmund get less of a fee next summer but they’re forgetting that Haaland, his agent and his dad will have the difference earmarked for their bank accounts so Haaland will cost as much as the market values him at, it’ll just be the case of the split between the involved parties being organised differently is all.

Only kante would be the closest replacement i know diff player but in terms of upgrade in the middle .

 

[super_city_si]

reports of Saul Niguez to Bayern for 68m. IF Bernardo wants out he'll fetch at least that
