New striker?

Haaland will now cost way more now than just a year ago. I would not be surprised if they price tag him more likely around £100m. Also don’t forget his agent, a nighmare doing business with. Ask RB Salzburg.
I don't think the fee is the issue but he'll demand huge wages, much more than KdB, hence why this deal is a non-starter and he'll end up in Spain.
I just got a feeling that Madrid are saving money this year and next year they'll do a galactico style 2 signings in Mbappe and Haaland.
 
We need a Dzeko, a version of Edin who is happy(ish) to be on the bench and come on for those last 15/20 mins when they are sat deep and we’re crossing the ball in to our sub 6 foot forwards.

Wouldn’t want to break the bank for this type of striker but would be an asset to our squad. I think to play that role they have to be a bit older. Soooo.... Troy Deeney anyone? He comes with a bit of passion and leadership as well.

But seriously though, anyone similar that comes to mind? We could go young but they’d cost a fortune and we have to prioritise elsewhere until Sergio really is done.

What about Dzeko himself on a loan or short term contract? he's said to be on the verge of leaving Roma and is said to still love City. How many times has a wasted cross gone into the box in recent seasons when you have screamed "we could do with Dzeko to get on the end of those"? He'd be good coming off the bench too as a 'plan B'.
 
€75m release clause next summer
Double that for fat boys cut. We won't go anywhere near that.

Madrid are clearing the table for Haaland and Mbappe. Bales wages will be gone etc, they are selling off other deadwood to give them the capital.

Yeah, Raiola would make a deal impossible. He`s a greedy big shit. Would sell him family for a slice of pizza

For me that is a defo, of course we will have competition but COVID repercussions will not have abated, as a lot of players holding out for a big move will find out, we still need a third choice for this season though and that would be Doku for me cheap versatile and does not take up a squad place

He could have all the pizza he wanted if it meant we get a player that helps us win the league again. I couldn't give a shit what we pay agents as long as we improve enough to have more 100-point title winning seasons again.

The LW from Anderlecht? Or are you thinking about Daka from Salzburg? He could be a steal

I would have Edin back in a Heart beat.

We needed an option like this last season.

Games where you are dominating possession based football ,and it just isn't happening.

Plan B, Edin for 20 minutes and long Balls.

Ironically when it wasn't happening,we were pumping long Balls in to the Box to no one.

Makes sense to me.
