That just isn't true. The two were a couple months apart.

The Haaland links were when we played them in the CL. Most likely speculative due to the timing of the matches and also the timing of the announcement Agueronwas leaving. 'Club with money needs a striker, here's one of the best', easy link to guess at.

The Kane rumours came after he did his interview. Equally as speculative. 'One of the top PL strikers talks about wanting to win thing, club with money needs a striker' again, piss easy link to guess at. And others then echoing the rumours for fear if being left out.

The rest is people filling in the blanks to make it seem like some know more than others to conclude what they want.

Either guessed rumour could be true, neither could he true, both could be true. Their bases are covered every which way.

I remember that a lot of the United Journo's thought he was headed here back in early March.

and given Solskjaer's relationship with the family they would've known, what was going on.

I think we moved to Kane because we thought it would be an easier deal to do, I think we were wrong on that front.

Going off mere face stats isn't a good way of viewing football. When Felix is fit and actually given a run of games he has been brilliant, so elegant to watch. Have people forgotten we were one of the few clubs after him when he was at Benfica? Even more so favorites till the whole Griezmann deal happened.

If you need a clip or something.

Ah the old play the video on 5x normal speed to make him look decent.

Pretty sure that's what they did to the uncut diamond...

You guys are crazy. Felix is ridiculously talented. His problems come down to a. injuries and b. that he plays in a system intentionally designed not to do anything interesting. He'd be amazing for us.

Idk alternatively you could just watch him play and still find the same positives, admire his quality. Not sure which 5x normal speed clips of players have fooled you though, my condolences.
 
Shortly after United announce the signing of Sancho we will trump it with our signing. Clever City.
 
anybody else find it strange that after letting aguero will still not got a replacement yet ??
i know its been the euro's and copa america but we could have got somebody on board

kane will always be the hardest to get at manchester city and spurs will play hardball
but haaland had a free summer and wants a move. but again city and haaland agent don't like each other
pep and city have to get this right and even if we sign 2 world class strikers then so be it

You've just answered your own question. 'I know it's been the euro's and copa'
That is exactly why. Nowhere near first team back for full pre-season. What's the rush?
Also, could have got somebody on board? We aren't in the market for 'somebody'. We know our targets and will do the deals if we can. Nobody settles for somebody just to get a signing in.

He's class and would probably suit us better than most. Depends what they still owe on him

A. People Lie, numbers don't

B. We're after a number 9, not a false 9 or a Center Forward

It's not like Aguero was important in our last season though? And still won 2 trophies, nearly 4.

The players at the Euros will be on holidays now anyways, so I'd expect things to pick up faster in a few weeks.

I must’ve missed that club statement.

iirc, Khaldoon said that the club would replace Aguero, but I don’t recall him saying it would be with a number 9.

I’m not saying that it hasn’t been stated by the club but if it has then I missed that revelation and IMO you don’t need to replace an out and out striker with a an out and out striker to be incredibly successful . . . as we saw in our last glorious title winning season.
