No-brainer for me. Haaland is younger and will be cheaper.
The pandemic has thrown a spanner into the works for a lot of big players and clubs planning moves and sales. I think we will see a lot of big players stay put for the next couple years who otherwise would have moved in a big transfer this summer or next (Kane, Mane/Salah, Pogba, Auba was arguably in this situation last summer). There just aren't many clubs capable of spending huge money on a player and, if they do so, its going to be spent on a massive young talent like Mbappe or Haaland. The days of Spanish clubs spending stupid money on players at the tail end of their primes like Hazard or Griezmann are over, at least for a while.
I reckon we could get Neymar for Rashford + 50 million
This is a big problem for alot of English based players. If you have an aim of winning trophies, you sign a 5 year contract at the age of 26 at Spurs, there is no way the club lets you leave for less than £120m. We have seen it with Zaha, Grealish, Maguire, Maddison etc..
No thank you. Wouldn’t swap Rashford for Neymar + £50m.
I agree. I guess its because English clubs are pretty adamant about not including release clauses in contracts. But you'd think that more agents would demand them.
Thanks but no.
‘Ooooooh, Teddy Teddy
It does both, protects the club and the player. A club like Spurs and Harry Kane is a very good example. He would get into the Barca, Real teams and win trophies.
I think you've got a point but by the same token, perhaps these clubs will need the money due to the pandemic and so will have to sell at a lower value? Personally, I would love to see Kane at a top club, surrounded by quality players. May even have a positive effect for England. Not that Spurs don't have a few, but I'm talking about going to a club with a culture of winning trophies with top players.
A bonafied STAR who can play in more positions than Rashford to greater efficacy. He can play 9 and LWF to a top top level and will create and link better in our build up play.
Gawd. No thanks.
Probably because the clubs simply refuse it, and even when a player thought they had such an arrangement, like Suarez at Liverpool, the club just laughed a bid off.
Dont think winning trophies is all that important these days tbh.
Wtf. That's the worse deal ever. Swapping a talented through-and-through United kid for that overrated bitch ass crybaby.
I am kinda trolling. A guy suggested we could get Kane for 50 mill + Martial, which I think would not be accepted in a million years and I think the same with this
Shearer, Le Tissier and Zola spring to mind.
Shearer won the Premier League.
He did but that wasn't with Newcastle and he spent his prime at a nothing club who were probably further away than winning things than the current spurs squad.
Yeh but the fact he'd already won the league probably factored into that. Already a champion so why not play for the club you love.
Not his fault. This is the cost of playing for a team like Spurs. They have enough money to keep him and have too much pride to sell to any of their EPL rivals. They also demand exorbitant fees which only PSG, Barca and Real can afford outside the Premier League, and those teams have struggled financially ( bar PSG) over the last few years. This is why players should be careful when signing these long term contracts. Sign them with a team you plan to dedicate most of your career to, forget loyalty to fans. These players need to make use of the bosman rule as transfers are now too expensive to coordinate.
Because of the money right? Because there's not a side in the country that he doesn't start for
Agreed and yes because of the money, and re. City he just doesn't feel like a Pep player to me.
Yeah they're nowhere near and won't be in his time. Big decision for him this summer.
There is still time. If he were to move this summer I could see him having at least 3 years at the absolute top level. Not least if he's surrounded by better players and plays in a more positive system.
...because City are set to dominate, right?
Newcastle did finish 2nd in Shearer's first season there in fairness before drifting into mid table for Shearer's peak years.
