Will join City and score 40 a season
Sigh

True. We do need a striker pretty badly but there’s got to be someone else.
We need him to join City next season to prevent liverpool from winning the league 2 years in a row. What a sad state of affairs
City!? Lovely.
£500k + a week 
It does, prior to the dominance of Real Madrid, Barcelona, Atlético, Sevilla, etc. it was common for the EPL to line 3 teams into the semifinals and eliminate amongst themselves, nowadays the top teams in England are again the favorites to
Yep, €35m per year or about £550k pw. This would certainly activate some of the agents of the current City players.£500k + a week
Smokescreen. He'll be coming here to bang them in the Europa League
You don’t think he’s worth it?£500k + a week
We have a 37 year old on that right now …
Who has earned it over many years and brings far more revenue commercially.
Won't come here at OT, they will use the club against others for him to go somewhere else, City probably. Real going for Mbappe? So UTD need to say straight away no thanks and let everyone know. His agent and old man will be on his bike in May, if not already.
I believe Haaland is on record saying he wants to emulate Zlatan playing in multiple leagues. If that's true, City next makes the most sense. Madrid/Barcelona will be an option down the line.
Been saying this since City missed out on the Harry Kane sweepstakes. Haaland to City just made too much sense.
Be very interested to see how a individualistic player like Haaland fits into Guardiola's collective system. I didnt see much of his Bayern team so he must have made it work with leodowski, but it failed with zlatan at Barcelona under Guardiola.
I've read something about the offer by Real Madrid not being as good as Manchester City and if that figure is correct then no wonder we're not offering that much. If he was to come here it would need to be a similar deal like Mbappe where he's going to gain less than what he was making at PSG. They'll still be filthy rich but the team needs to have some sort of structure and cap when it comes to wages. He can still end up here depending on his ambitions and if he considers Real Madrid offers him a better platform to achieve his goals.
Or it could come down to him not wanting to share the limelight with Mbappe, or be shown up by him. Or that he would have to compete with Benezma to be starting striker. At city he has no competition for the no9 slot. So almost guaranteed to start every game.
I'd be suprised at his age if money were the motivating factor, that will come in bucketloads for him anyway.
Personally id rather he sign for anyone other than Madrid. The thought of Madrid having Mbappe and Haaland......
What is it to us as United supporters if he goes to Spain?City is a direct rival in the league for us. We rarely if ever play Madrid
Lewandowski is a very different type of striker.
Still think City will get Kanye. Haaland will come here or go to Spain. We may play it down publicly and the media can write as many articles trying to tease us about him, but I reckon we will offer the biggest financial package for him, especially if we sneak into the top 4 somehow.
I would love to see that
At least they would finally be able to sell out their stadium
At his presentation in a finally full etihad stadium: “Yo, Baldie, I’m really happy for you. Imma let you finish. But Sir Alex still the best Manchester manager of all time.”I would love to see that
We’re gonna have to sneak into the top 4 to have any chance of getting haaland. And even if we do it’s unlikely he chooses us over city, Madrid and whoever els are interested in him. Our best hope is that sancho is very persuasive and can convince him to come here and help us get back to the top.
Unfortunately the decision will be made before this season is finished. I'm afraid we're out, mate.
That isn’t our best hope at all IMO, our best hope is that he and his team are swayed by money, and offering and obscene amount of it. Which I think we should do, quite frankly.
No he's not worth it at all, it throws the wage structure in disarray especially a club that is full of players that could easily claim to be on the same money or similar due to their quality/performances.
add to the fact its blatantly obvious that Haaland is a mercenary and will be off to another club in x amount of years for another big payday for him and his entourage, add the niggling fact that he's missed around 14 games this season and the season isn't even over.
It might sound fantastic on paper but with the figures quoted i'm happy that we aren't in the picture not that realistically we ever stood a chance.
What happened to everyone complaining about how much money we were throwing at players? Especially players that we don’t know will adapt to the premier league. I think players should have to earn how much money they get. We shouldn’t just Chuck money at players for the fun of it… for starters it will upset the rest of the team and they’ll all want pay rises, and this is the reason we have trouble getting rid of players further down the line because of there ridiculous wages. We need to change the way we do things, we need players that want to play for us and are committed doing so, not players that just care about money… there the kind of players that don’t care if they put in good performances or not.
Not me, you have to pay the best salary to attract the best talent, which Haaland has already proven himself to be by any metric.
Regarding his recent injuryhistory, I agree it is a bit worrying.
Do you think Haaland would force a move from a club he was happy at while at the same time winning trophies?
Who would claim to be on the same or similar money due to quality/performances compared to him?
We are out of the picture, so it is of course hypothetical.
Theres 0.00000% of him coming to Utd this summer. Anyone who thinks otherwise is deluding themselves
Thats referring to players within City if i'm De Bruyne/Silva/Dias i'm knocking on the door asking questions.
Really? You bring in the hottest name in football and you think Silva and Dias would be complaining that he gets more than them (they are currently number 6 and 9 on City's wage list)? KDB is great, but I think he could live with being #2 on the paymentlist with the best striker in the world leading their line.
I have little faith in footballers as a whole not being after pure greed, have to forgive my cynicism, but years of those lot at united grates on you
+ 1 to that.I have little faith in footballers as a whole not being after pure greed, have to forgive my cynicism, but years of those lot at united grates on you
Haaland has so far in his career chosen project, development and minutes over money at every step. The supply of players with his skillset and qualities are down to one, so the money will follow. That's unfortunately the name of the game.
I think he's a generational player but the intensity of his game is too dangerous. I know that's one of the reasons he stands out be he looks like a serious injury waiting to happen.
I'll keep an eye on this, haven't heard this opinion before.
City are making a mistake if they sign him, he doesn't suit them at all.
Riola client, 500k+ wage, injury concerns, guarantee to agitate for a move to Spain in a couple of years, Riola, Riola.
I don't think he's a good option. He doesn't seem to have any interest whatsoever in joining us anyway. This isn't a slight on his talent. He's easily a top 5 forward in the world at this moment and as long as he stays fit, will be contending for Ballon d'Or against Mbappe every year once he joins a team that wins major trophies.
