It's a bit like dreaming that SAF will come out of retirement to manage us and David Beckham is still young enough to play on the wing for us... that said, if I were on the board I'd call Halaand and ask him how much it would take to get him and pay it but hey, I'm no businessman (not that some of our past geniuses seemed to be much better).
No surprise there
No. We are not in a good position to do so, obviously.

Exactly, there is only 1 reason Mbappe stays at Paris.
Haaland can't wait to play in the conference league.
No, that's Declan Rice
Come on. You're not saying there's not plenty of perfectly good reasons to choose City over Madrid other than money, are you?
Its definitely because of what you say, the moment he stepped foot in Dortmund with a low release clause it was obvious what was going to happen, we've all just been waiting for it. It's not like it's some mega deal that clubs have had to struggle to get done with a load of drama. We had our chance and sI think we smartly chose not to take it. He was only ever going to 2 clubs after Dortmund then. It's the same with Mbappe, there's just an inevitability about it that doesn't really excite
No, there is good reasons to choose City over Madrid.
how many goals is he scoring next season? just so I can mark your words.There were the same concerns about Agüero and Pep even benched him for Jesus at the very beginning. Agüero changed his playing style to suit Pep's system and became even better — I'd be surprised if Haaland, who is younger and is positively obsessed with improving himself (look at how he has developed his previously non-existent heading), is going to be tougher to mould into Pep's ideal number 9.
Haaland pressures per 90: 13 - for a team that dominates possession and pretty average for #9s in the top 5 lists. Lower numbers than many wingers, SSs and false 9s for sure, but higher than Mbappe, Benzema, Lewandowski, Kane etc....
At gunpoint yes with his family captive somewhere.
Do you think so? He seems a bit too much like a target man to me, they should get someone who can be more involved in the play and retain possession better.
They have their whole squad for that, they need someone who is going to offer them something different. Unfortunately Haaland gives them exactly what they need. He's gonna score a boat load of goals. The hope is he doesn't stay for more than 4 years before fecking off to Madrid and/or has injury problems which feck him over, otherwise he's gonna smash it with them IMO.
I wouldn't say a team with no striker going and buying Haaland has smart people working for them. It's just addressing the 1 hole with the most obvious dream signing in Europe. Though I guess we've had the DM as a hole for years and always ignore it.
Why would we? We already have Ronaldo for the next 5 years.
Bundesliga tax.
Calm down, it's only the Bundesliga. So many of their "top players" (remember Mkhi?) fizzled out when they moved to other higher quality leagues (Jovic top striker now not even good enough for Real Madrid B Team, Time Werner, etc).
