Salzburg are a very wealthy club. They won’t sell a player who has scored a bazillion goals including ones against Liverpool & Napoli, someone who is a bonafide wonder kid, for peanuts.
Salzburg have rich owners but their revenue is very low. And no, 30-40 million is not peanuts. It's just peanuts to the PL clubs who are awful in transfer market, with more money than sense.
I highly doubt Haaland will be sold for 30-40m, he is not even a year into his 5 year contract. Salzburg have enough money and dont need to sell. If he manages to keep scoring at the current pace for the rest of the season i wouldnt be suprised if the price was closer to 100m then 50m, around 80 would be my guess. For reference maguire cost 80m and we were pretty much the only interested party, i would suspect almost all top clubs will be interested in haaland. Would he worth those kinds of money? Its not my money, but the market is what it is!
Only 2. Rashford isnt one and to be perfectly honest Greenwood is better going out on loan anyway

200m because a Redcafe thread says so.. and 90m because... erm.. it's less than half the price innit? so it's a good deal.
Higher than Champions League?
He's scored against Liverpool and Napoli, not sure there's going to be many higher tests before you can make your mind up.
How long did it take Rooney? Completely different footballers but I get Rooney-esce vibes from this kid, in terms of how his career will develop. Huge club coming in for him this season.
That's us out then
Chances are, whilst Ole is in charge, we will have a huge eye on him this season.
ok so are you gonna pay £100m and make him your main striker already? good luck
Don't think anyone said that TBF
He won't go for that sort of fee, i'd imagine between 40-60 AT MOST.
why not then? is he a unicorn after two months under the spotlight, right? everyone is going to break the piggy bank and buy him in Jan... or maybe not, he needs to be tested for consistency and ability to bear the pressure from playing for a better club?
My gut feeling tells me your skepticism won’t age well. His mentality seems to be top notch.
For one thing, he will not go for £100m. As great as his numbers are, the simple fact is he plays in the Austrian league and Salzburg will most likely sell for a sensible amount. See @roonster09's post above, post no. 762.
He is young so can wait out the 4 years or however long it is
The club gave Rashford and Martial the big bucks, can't see any of them staying on the bench for too long. Greenwood has already scored goals for United, don't see United loaning him. An old fox in the box would be nice, but because there will be limitations on the budget, i'd prefer to focus on different areas of the team.
We need another striker for competition and depth, it's no good having Martial who's the only one actually good enough to play striker and then a significant drop off after that in Rashford and Greenwood. We need more than just one option, if Haaland can provide that, we should get him. I agree that we need a midfielder more than anything else, but it shouldn't be an either or type if situation.
not skeptic about his potential, if nurtured properly... just skeptic about the hype
thanks, this makes perfect sense and you surely know better for your team... also your three brackets are clever and I understand fans wanting more 1s like this kid than 2s like Mandzukic or 3s like Can but I am pretty sure Allegri would go for 2s and 3s so we will see.
I don’t know the team behind Erling Håland but the reason that he took the sensible step and went to Salzburg tells me that his advisers knows a thing or two about how to mentor a raw talent. It’s no coincidence that Red Bull Salzburg/Leipzig has several top talented youngsters in their squads. They take good care of their talents and they let them work in a good environment without to much pressure. The opposite from us.
You pretty sure, but you didn't know fecking shyte. Nobody does.
A player in his form and with the apparent ability he has can choose where he wants to go in the summer, little different to De Ligt or De Jong. If he kept up anything close to this level of performance there would be at least half a dozen big teams in for him, most of which would have CL football next year and fighting or their league title. He'd be mad to come to United in this current climate when he's probably have offers from Madrid, Barca, Athleti, Juve, etc etc etc. I hate to say it as he's the kind of signing we would have made in years gone by.
Depends on the quality and age of the experienced player for me. If it's the likes of Mandzukic then I'd rather than a top young CF. If we're going for ''experience' it should be someone under 27/28.
I agree. But who fecking knows what goes on in our transfer committee.
My reaction wasn't to whether Haaland should choose to go to United - it was to a guy claiming Haaland shouldn't go to United because OGS is the Worst manager in the League. If anyone seriously believe that Haaland is in any way negative to the guy who took him from being a talent who had shown nothing in terms of goals, on the pitch to being one of the most talented 17 year olds in the business - and a little more than 1 year later to being one of the hottest Properties in football, then I stand by my comments.
I think its the opposite, we've too many young players with potential who we are banking on coming good. Martial, Rashford and Greenwood are years away from their expected peak years. We don't have the luxury of investing in a potential world beater, we need someone who is ready now.
