COME TO THE EUROPEAN CHAMPIONS SON WE NEED A 9
Erling Haaland | Dortmund player
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Finally scored again for Norway for the first time in nearly 7 months!!! (3 games without a goal, his last was hat-trick against Romania in November).
Norway managed to scrape 1-0 against Luxembourg in over-time. First half was atrocious, second better, but still, Luxembourg.
Glad the matches are meaningless (Still relatively new national team coach though (Dec2020), so he needs to drill the squad before WC qualifiers later this year).

If City do not get him I think he will stay at Dortmund another season then go to Bayern to replace Lewa who will be what, 33-34 by then.
Bayern won‘t buy him. His demands for wages and agent payments are something they would never meet. Having him would damage their wage structure for maybe decades.
100% we'll try to buy him next summer. The timing is perfect and the transfer sum is low.
Whether he chooses us over other attractive offers with potentially higher numbers is another thing, though it's not like we're offering poverty wages..
I don’t see why he would go to Bayern unless he has started to feel like Germany is his 2nd home.
He has consistently been talking about how he wants to play in Spain and in England. Seems like a player that moves from club to club a bit like Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

His next contract will most likely catapult him above Alaba spheres. More than Neuer and Lewandowski earn now. If Bayern destroy their structure for a player like Haaland, they're in serious trouble, as their wages are already pretty high. This would affect the whole squad and every renewal in the next 5 years. The transfer would not cost them just the - as you put it - "low" transfer sum, but millions additional in wages for other players (not to mention absurd fees for agents etc.).
He's 99.9% certain to stay at Dortmund for another year, he even came out and said himself that he respects the contract, I think any reports to the contrary are just English media being English media.
I don't really see him joining Bayern:
Haaland himself seems to be planning at least one stop in Spain and England, it doesn't make much sense to sign for another 4-5 years with Bayern first, when he's already had a couple of good years in Bundesliga and won a trophy, even if it's only the lesser of the two.
And from Bayern's perspective it doesn't make much sense either: Lewandowski is in the form of his life, still significantly better than Haaland, and going by photos he seems to be a model athlete that could go on for another couple of years. Are Bayern just going to send him away, for a player that already has his next step in mind the moment he signs? And what about the money? The Haalands and Raiola know exactly how valuable the boy is and they don't seem to hesitate in taking their share. Even if his release clause is as "low" as €75m (which is still about Bayern's record signing), they will demand the difference to his actual market value in wages and signing fees - and some clubs are going to pay that, just like with Alaba. He's going to be a proper galactico signing and Bayern have never done these.

I agree he will stay at Dortmund one more year. then he can pretty much choose which club he wants to go to, on the Bayern thing, they could easily offer him a big signing on bonus because the transfer sum is so low. But ultimately like I said, he will pick where he wants to go with a few caveats, CL every year, competing for all the top domestic trophies will be requirements.
Luxembourg seem to have become decent enough as a team. They’re definitely no longer the whipping boys they used to be. And I’m not just saying this as an Ireland fan!
It makes all the sense in the world to make the transition from Lewandowski to Haaland in 2022. Lewandowski will be turning 34, model athlete or not. Of course we will try to do it, would be moronic not to.
But I share the estimation that it's not going to happen and Haaland will prefer to go elsewhere.
Apparently Koeman rejected him at Everton for 4 millions.
When was that supposed to be? And how does that make sense when Juve were already after him before he chose RB Salzburg?
Supposedly this happened before Haaland signed for Molde and OGS: https://www.footballtransfers.com/e...transfer-news-koeman-rejected-haaland-signing
One of 100 players the scout recommended to a club. I’m sure the scout doesn’t talk about all the players he recommended that turned out to be utter shite.
Right, thanks. So 4m € for a Norwegian kid that just turned 16, can't say I would blame anyone for not doing this...
It ranks up there with "should have invested in Bitcoin when it cost $10". Hindsight is worthless
Exactly. No doubt the guy is an excellent scout, but as Claymore Peg-leg says, for every player that realizes their 'potential' there's dozens who don't.
2 goals already in the first half an hour of the season. If he can stay injury free I reckon he could hit 50 in all comps.
To be fair this is against a third division side in the cup
He's obviously a force but don't forget it's fecking Wiesbaden
Finally escaping the shame of being below one goal a game for Dortmund.
We need to strike a deal to get him ASAP. Beast of a player.
Someone is going to get him for an absolute steal next year considering what Lukaku at 28 is going for. Hope it's going to be us considering the state of Madrid and Barca in where they may be in terms of challenging in the UCL.
I think he’ll be a La Liga player personally, Mbappe and Haaland will be the new faces of the league.
A bit more respect for a club that's potentially competing with Schalke next year.
Yeees!! Fantastic player.
He has done everything right; step by step.
- Molde
- RB Salzburg
- Dortmund
- United next. 100 % sure
- ?
Absolute machine, he just looks so confident.
If it all goes how it looking right now:
Chelsea - Lukaku
Madrid - Mbappe
PSG - Messi
City - Kane
Barca - Broke
It HAS to be us getting him next summer!

Then Madrid.
man
Don't worry, I meant Wiesbaden might get promoted, not that Schalke will be relegated.
I can’t disclose my sources as I don’t have any, but he’s absolutely nailed on to come to Utd next summer.
I've never been more positive about a future signing. Sancho has a good season and he will be ours next year.
As I said a few weeks ago, he’s going to struggle without Sancho.
Think Real Madrid are planning on getting both - with Mbappe going on a free transfer.
We really do have to sign this lad next season. There'll be a Cavani sized hole to fill. First step is to have a real good season to reposition us as a top club. The stars are all aligning with the top strikers and needy clubs all getting sorted. Come build your legend Erling. No better place!
