I’ll be surprised that all those clubs that Haaland be hawked around to all said we will do the deal next summer when it’s 75m why pay 50m more now!? Especially when the agent and Haaland dad are getting 20m each in the deal...
 
Id take Messi as a false 9 signing on a free if we can still get him. hed score loads of goals in our team. If Haaland is to expensive

One thing I was wary of as soon as it was announced Sergio was leaving was the fact that clubs know we need a striker now and could hold us to ransom. Doesn't mean we will give in or overpay by any means but just might be a stumbling block for us.

Agreed it seemed odd to show our hand.
Having said that I'm sure Haaland was coming out with something about his next club must prove they want him. I'm not sure but I think we acted in response to that.

Mate, we are the best run football club on the planet. Post COVID many elite level clubs are screwed financially and there’s no way we’re inflating the market by flashing our cash around like some immoral loadsamoney character. If selling clubs are demanding precovid prices for players we’ll walk away and wish them luck. This isn’t a negotiating position, this is a major player in the transfer market laying down a marker and calling for some realism. This is leadership, both moral and practical, and if some other club wants to pay silly money for a striker let them. We have a brilliant manager who has already solved the no Sergio conundrum, Jesus can play there, KDB, Sterling, Foden, and we may even have a certain Argentinian who has played there many times. So chill out, relax, crack open a beer, and celebrate the fact that our club couldn’t be in better hands. In a few weeks we might be winning 1, 2, 3,4 trophies who knows, and we go into next season stronger than ever regardless of any transfer activity.

But that's essentially what he said?

Not according to the BBC report. He said we can’t afford it. That makes us look smalltime, whereas the Utd and Chelsea managers just said they wouldn’t talk about him as he’s not their player. Much better if Pep just said the same.

Now we have more negative headlines about us not being able to afford a new striker. Not the best image for a club of our stature.

Brilliant hg and you are correct , and the club will provide a solution for whatever situation is presented .

If the " deal " for Haaland proves to be unacceptable, an alernative will be brought in who fits our needs.

We do not need to be bullied by greedy cunts .

Absolute fucking drivel
 
For the owners there is also the problem of perception.

We are in a world where companies are going under, people are dying, people are losing jobs, houses, everything they have.

The last thing they want to be seen doing is breaking transfer fee records with this as a backdrop.

They will drive a bargain, they will push as much as they can and they will not inflate the market - can you imagine the press if we did that? They can.

In other business ventures (non football) they have already pulled the plug on one take over as the perception was it was ‘taking advantage of the pandemic’.

Big things will happen this summer; but we are not being dragged through the press, being ripped off or setting vulgar standards in football when everyone is so pressed financially.

Yeah I think we had to budge one way or the other. Hopefully it pays off. As someone on here said recently, it's not a bad life when Kane is a backup option :)

Sorry mate but that is just a silly over-reaction imo.

I suspect that we are fairly used to " negative headlines " when talking about the shite the media throw at us all the time . And using the rags and chelsea as yardsticks is pretty hilarious .

And we don't appear to be doing too badly in football matters despite the bitter cunts in the media collecting " clicks " at our expense.

Think he said @Guscruz chats nonsense or something along those lines..
In all seriousness, I think Pep is being a bit mischievous but I certainly wouldn’t rule out us not going big on a CF signing.

Same here, I’m chilled about things either way.

What you have to remember is flappers are going to flap, it’s all they know.
