I think Riaola would love the pay cheque there though. Plus PSG is a dominate side who will always score many goals and play in CL, and guarantee to win trophies every season. Haaland may like this idea too.
Love itRather another obvious, even kind of lame, iteration of a long-running gag
I'm convinced he'll join City.
Greenwood will never make a good Number 9, not physical enough, which means his pace is useless if we play against deep standing opponents. Right wing, inside forward, he is tailor-made for that position, his shoot with his left foot is amazing, why waste that?
Yup there are so many reasons - Dad's former club; money, of course; Pep; and they don't have an established striker....
So basically he may or may not go to a club somewhere that may or may not be able to afford his wages and fee. His agent will kook for the best deal. Alot of top teams may or may not be included on the list of potential destinations.Big info drop on Haaland from my favourite ITK Ed02. Some of it may be slightly out of date and of course feel free to mock/deride/ignore as normal.
Be confident Gato, The last three points could be used for any elite player.
The one thing I learned from reading many years of stuff from this guy is that the transfer market is a lot less straightforward than any of the media or famous ITKs like to make out. Generally the top clubs are watching huge lists of players and their interest levels are dependant on long lists of factors. There's pretty much always a plan a, b, c, d etc, and seemingly obvious moves can collapse at any moment for a wide variety of reasons, or suddenly appear out of seemingly nowhere for the same. The reason I like this guy is that he doesn't make hard and fast statements about what is going to happen or not happen, because he knows things don't actually work that way until the ink is actually on the paper.
Haaland doesn't give a fxxk what Rialoa wants. It is what he wants.
Maybe he give a fxxk what his dad wants though.
Agents are in players and families and clubs ears all the time fogging the picture just enough at the right time or developing opportunities to make moves happen. While Haaland will do what Haaland wants to do it would be foolish to think that what he wants hasn’t in some way been influenced by that mouthpiece over the last 2 years or whatever it is.
I agree.
Maybe small guys like these needs a bit more time to adapt to a more physical league than a 194cm physical beast would need…..none of those guys can claim that their physique is an advantage, quite the contrary.
Players are not stupid. When they aware their own agent put his own interests over the player's they will ditch the agent. The agent is hired to represent the players.
Sancho was basically a young/mini “Messi” in BL in terms of his style (dribbler+playmaker) and overall stats (goals+assist), but he has been nothing but disappointing in PL so far. Although I still believe he would make it here, it just seems he is finding it hard to translate his impressive form/stats from BL to PL.
He wouldn't win the Balón d'Or there, and I can't see him doing it. He will go somewhere where he's going to stand out as the main man. Even his chances of racking up the golden shoe drop if he's sharing the stage with the others.
I know, I just wanted to speak highly about the Premier League and I didn't know which thread I could use

Since the media say something new everyday it's obvious they don't have a clue on things and we'll have to wait until the end to find out.
Here's the only point that matters:
If Haaland performs better than Messi and Neymar, he will have the spotlight to himself as well as a constant shot at the CL. Mbappe is by far their best player right now, and he's the main guy. Haaland could possibly be able to do the same.
Bayern don’t have a say. Their pull is on players that want to play for them, Haaland has next to no affinity to Munich and they as a club would not be able to justify the competitive spending it would take to recruit him.
This bit?
That's a lot of 'if's' and they've shown time and again a complete failure at making the right deals. Haaland is a solid talent, but like any striker he will depend and live or die by his midfield and surrounding players, if Barcelona sell all these players and don't have the proper replacement, even if by some miracle they did get Haaland (and I honestly hope they will, rather than him and Mbappe joining forces in Madrid if those are the choices), they wouldn't really compete with Haaland. They're 7th right now without letting go of a big chunk of their team as you're suggesting, in what world do they make top 4 and manage to dump some truly difficult to dump players? De Jong and Dest are maybe their two best assets on the transfer markets, and they have so many areas to work on. Haaland is someone you get as the tip of your spear, not some jacked up golf club you attach that spear tip to with some crappy duct tape and hope you can hunt for first place.
Did you read the part where I said Firpo for 15m was the magic trick of the century? The Griezman deal wasnt half bad either, so they've clearly made strides in that department.
