Would be an absolute robbery if someone gets him for 50m from usI don't think Laporte is going, we have four top centre halves now why let another one go. Could definitely see Bernardo going though, the surprise departure people are talking about, what would we get for him in this current market 50m?
At least a £100m starting ask for Bernardoreports of Saul Niguez to Bayern for 68m. If Bernardo wants out he'll fetch at least that
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?
It makes all the sense in the world for him to join but I just don't see it, sorry. Just feels like hes staying and they will let the bidding commence next year.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
At least a £100m starting ask for Bernardo
Laporte is gone I reckon, Pep and him have been having a basically public spat for the past few months about game time. Unless something happens to Stones then why would he play. He is about to be starting CB for Spain and if he was to win the Euros or something hes not coming back to sit on the bench.I don't think Laporte is going, we have four top centre halves now why let another one go. Could definitely see Bernardo going though, the surprise departure people are talking about, what would we get for him in this current market 50m?
In fairness to Rodri he had the least rotation in the first part of the season and just ran out of steam towards the end. Bit unfortunate for him really I think he'd have been one of our top 5 players across the season till about March.He has areas of weakness that cause us issues.
Not starting him in a CL Final,and,at times,playing a 36yr old ahead of him,suggests Pep might also disagree.
If there is a release clause there cannot be a bidding war....all any club has to do is match the release clause so Im guessing if that were to happen then Haaland would just decide on who he wanted to go to....basing it on whatever factors he deems most important...It makes all the sense in the world for him to join but I just don't see it, sorry. Just feels like hes staying and they will let the bidding commence next year.
70m to Dortmund and whoever wants to put the most on the table for Raiola and Alf next summer, potentially off the back of another huge domestic season.
The whole media circus of Barca and Real just said to me that he clearly wants them and he will wait till next summer for them to buy him. If he was going to leave we would know by now.
The Kane news says to me that we have made him the target because Haaland isn't on the table.
Maybe its the lad himself, Dortmund or Raiola. For all we know Pep had a conversation and thought fuck that, don't want him anywhere near. Then was on the phone to Txiki, get me Kane.
Let's stop this nonsense, Berna doesn't make any risky passes, of course we keep the ball better, but KDB is the best player on the planet.Let's be happy that a good player like Kdb is playing for us and will most likely become a legend here. Say what you want but Berna has nothing to do with Kdb's level and I can't even say that Berna works harder than Kdb,because Kdb is the example of a player who can run the whole game and sprint even when he has to breathe on his ass. Top class player.Of the two....I think we are a better team with Bernardo rather than De Bruyne.
We keep the ball better
