Your brackets are pretty much spot on considering where we are as a team. Based on the lack of striker options we have at the moment, it makes sense to buy a veteran striker in January on a 18 month deal, who's happy to come off the bench and mentor the striker group. We can then buy a young striker like Haaland, Moussa Dembele or Timo Werner in the summer to compete with Martial for the no 1 striker spot. This would mean our striker options would consist of 3 good options plus Greenwood. This would be good enough to take the club going forward.
I'm all aboard the Haland express!
Come on Ole! don't just smile and wave. Do something! Drag him here, you are the father figure Ole!
Not in the world. One of the worst coaches in the PL. Results don’t lie.
Without disrespecting your opinions I think playing with United has a bigger pull then joining his former manager who struggles enormously to make United to play offensive football. That without mention his results.
I’m sure Team Håland will watch United’s developments closely and see if and when Ole will be out of the picture. As it stands that’s the wise thing to do. I understands you don’t agree with me and you think my take on this is totally out of order but let’s wait and see who’s right or wrong. If I’m wrong a gladly apologize to you, for me it’s a win and win situation so whatever happens suits me.

Anyone´s opinion, but I put most relevance in Haaland´s own opinion:
- He has had a huge influence on my life, both as a person and as a coach. He won the Champions League and he was an unbelievable good players. He has taught me so much. Solskjær is a fantastic person and a very good coach. He is one of the reasons why I am where I am today.
Get Håland ASAP so we can get rid of Ole already. Big question marks as to whether Ole will get to January though...
Agree 100%
No results dont lie - and there are 12 managers in P.L history With a win percentage of 10% and less - OGS is at 47%
As of february 2018 - the 20th BEST manager in the P.L had a win percentage of 46.9% -and according to you OGS who has a percentage of 47 is the Worst ? It's fine that you don't OGS as a manager, but what you are saying is just not true. If you look at results and results only - he is of course nowhere near the worst in the P.L
You shouldn't. OGS is the worst manager in the P.L so clearly Haaland is clueless as to OGS' abilities
Brock Lesnar II will eventually land in Manchester. His acceleration surprised me. He looks slow but he can move. Definitely very strong and extremely composed. His low shots are magnificent for someone his age.
If we do sign him, what is our attacking style? Because the overlap of qualities between him and Martial are pretty small.
Given how well James has done, feels to me like this would push us back to having a defined central forward, 3 players that are best at LW and no RW.
Not saying I don't like the player, just not sure how it fits into any kind of coherent plan.

They've never sold anyone for more than 26m. There's no way they're slapping a 60m-80m price tag on his head. No one would ever want to go there again if they priced them out of moves. It would be similar to a Martial deal if anything, rising to 60m with add ons.
When was the last time they sold a player of Haland’s profile, in a market where 30-40m gets you *maybe* a benchwarmer at a top club?
Will have to agree to disagree on this one. But I’d be very surprised indeed if he was sold for less than 60, if he continues his current form.
The teams that can afford to spend 60m+ on an 19 year old striker from the Austrian league, won't start him. Who are the the teams that need to buy a striker, that can afford 60m?
Very good point. And to go along with that- young players who jumped to I. E. Barça or Real must realize that they will likely give their academy players the nod first unless it fills an imminent need like De Jong at Barça.
Quite a lot of clubs can afford 60m, and striker situations quickly change.
Nobody will get a free run at him. There will be a bidding war when he leaves.
This is also true
I'm not playing down his talent, but the risk is massive if you're paying 60m+. Real and Barca can't afford it and I doubt Atleti can either. He's not on a Free so scrap Juve or anyone in serie A. Chelsea are putting their faith in Abraham, Liverpool won't spend 60m+ on a back up to Firmino. Likewise City for Aguero/Jesus (debate whether they could afford it as well with FFP). Bayern could probably go for him, but not at that price. Dortmund would only be able to afford it if they get money in from a big transfer like Sancho.
Serie A clubs only sign players on a free, but Inter spent a packet on Lukaku?
So many of the situations you mentioned could change. Add to that other clubs like Leipzig, Spurs, Arsenal, Napoli etc around Europe who might sell a striker and get involved. 60 mill isn’t a colossal fee anymore, it’s about normal for a decent young talent.
Salzburg have CL money and very rich owners. They have no reason to accept a 30-40m bid. That’s not the going price for a player like Håland. They know PL clubs like United are rolling in it, you spent 50 on fecking Fred FFS, why on earth would they settle for a paltry fee?

RB Leipzig in the summer for £40m when Werner leaves.
Inter spent a packet on Lukaku, so they would not be able to afford it now.... likewise with Juve paying Ronaldos wages and De Ligt.
Right, so Spurs who just spent 60m each on Ndombele and Lo Celso are just going to pull another 60m+ out? Arsenal who had to spread the Pepe payment out over 5 years to make it work?
I feel like you're just saying "60m isn't that much" but missing he fact all of these clubs have made massive purchases recently.
Was just reading this as well, proper daft. I'm choosing to believe it
Why can’t Real or Barsa afford it? Do people here even read Deloitte’s reports on club economies? Real and Barsa have consistently ranked right up there with us, and many times even above when it comes to their economic turnover. Not to mention no overseas owner they have to fatten the wallets of.
If he's available in January, we have to pull the trigger. As it stands, we will be lucky to score 50 league goals this season - unless we add some serious fire-power. Haland fits "Ole's plan" (there isn't an actual plan, but I'll play along). He shouldn't be a bank breaker, but it'll cost us.
Do it. Do something.
Do it. Do something.
It does read like something a caftard would write if given free reign to take the piss in Corriere dello sport.
Says who? Maybe you should start listening to professionals and not twitter opinion, or the 'stats'.

1. And it's not the right time for Manchester United to get a poacher when we are not able to create opportunities.
2. We play counter attacking football and will continue to play this way under OGS given the potential incompetence in him and the coaches, and we already have 3 attacking players that suit this style of play.
3. He is still far from being the finished article unless he aims to be a pure poacher (a dying breed for a reason).
4. Highly unlikely that he will improve while here base on how little our players has improved over the last 3 season.
He will replace Timo Werner in 8 months at Leipzig.
Yeah, that makes a lot of sense - which is why there's zero chance of it happening.
When did Allegri become our manager, or did I miss something?
De Ligt has been a disaster for Juve so far. They're better off benching him and playing Demiral instead, but they already paid too much money and want to ease him in. I"m not saying it's not going to work, but he's far from the finished article.
Didn't Rashford have some crazy stats when he just broke through? He scored on his debut in Europa, in the league, in the FA Cup, for England. Now he can't hit a barn door, and it's clearly not a number 9. Three month stats are too short of a timeframe to make a decision, especially in our case where we need an established guy not another up and coming considering we have Rashford, Martial and Greenwoods in the books.
@SquishyMcSquish you can have him for 80-million after you sell us Kane for 180-million. Fair is fair.
Up that to 200 and I'll do that deal
.That's like quoting the Sun or the Daily Mail
Unpopular opinion at the moment and just a prediction inspired by the gut but this guy won't make it to the heights being talked about him. Insane hype train by the hipsters.
