Spanish twins are institutions that will always have the allure for big players and they can always make money. COVID may have put a damper in their operations but given the choice of coming to England vs going to madrid/barca, nine times out of ten you know what players will do.
Yeah they definitely would be but where do we get the money from to sign him this summer or did you mean joining the race next summer when his release clause activates and he will have his pick of the best
Whenever if he available. If they finish outside top 4 and he is available we have to try imo.
I would rather we could keep Eddy and invest in CB, DM (no interest in staggering) & RW this summer, however as I said in another post the sharks of City & Chelsea are circling with this one so may not be able to wait another year.
Under SAF, was there a Nordic players signature we managed to get, when every other club wanted him, such as Haaland?
I would feel perfectly happy to wait if City, Chelsea or PSG finances were actually affected by COVID too
It is just that simple.
. His hot UCL streak will only make his value rise higher and higher. Sooner or later, we wouldn't be able to afford him. He needs to get a few red cards and own goals under his belt. 
Not trying to be rude or anything, but I'd say commonsense. It's only logical for someone with the attitude of him.The boy has to stop scoring ASAP
Ps: Yes I'm aware of his release clause. Who's to say he wouldn't sign a new contract soon.

Why would he sign a new contract? He obviously won't stay at Dortmund any longer than next season (there's already rumours he might look to leave at the end of this one), so signing a new contract with a higher release clause will only reduce how much money he and his agent gets when he makes that move.The boy has to stop scoring ASAP

It's never that simple. Borussia Dortmund are 6th in the table right now, and they actually have Haaland. They have regressed since getting him, if anything. I'm not saying that's because of Haaland but he's certainly not a guarantee of anything.
they haven't regressed because of Haaland. Without him they'd be in relegation.I specifically said they haven't regressed because of him. Jesus Christ read the posts. The point is he doesn't guarantee a league title. Or even a challenge.
You literally say "they have regressed since getting him, if anything". Perhaps form better sentances instead of contradicting yourself.
Well he`s right, they have regressed since getting him. But that`s not because of his signing (which @Siorac also specified).
Our team is absolute miles away from a league title. Let's not kid ourselves.
To be fair there hasn't been that many great Nordic players. But the narrative was always that we had first dibs on them and English players. My point being you have to be a successful club first and foremost, that's one of the most important things for any top player. Money always helps but is largely a secondary factor. Longer we remain in wilderness and distant from top trophies harder its going to become to attract talent like Haaland.
Is it? I don't agree. We need a few changes, but we definitely have the ability. Consistency is what we require, and that comes with better depth.
To win the title we need to fill the gaps in our team. Our gaps are:
Hasn't this been cleared many times? No way Alfie's feelings towards any club is going to stop them from choosing Erling's next steps. Also he has a good relationship with Ole?Apparently his dad hates Man Utd! Don’t think his agent is a big fan either
Agreed, on that - but let's be honest with finances effected by COVID it's not going to happen that quickly.
theres also pictures of him and his siblings wearing Man City kits as kids because their dad played for them. Maybe he will want to follow in his dads footsteps. City also guarentees trophies?
Worth more than 3 times that amount to be fair.
Oh I agree no chance of it being sorted in a year. Though I'd argue opposite, that right wing we have nobody really natural there and it's by far our weakest position. Striker this season has been a problem but Martial is better than this and you'd expect him to bounce back next season, and Greenwood has big potential and it'll be as a striker, because he will never be more than average as a winger. It's easier to sign a winger than a striker so I wouldn't argue get Haaland, but equally I think our best chance internally of the right wing being even an acceptable level would he in 3 years when Diallo can have a bigger impact, nothing from any of the senior players, so it's definitely an ongoing issue.
I agree that Haaland would improve the striker position massively. If we can get him, we absolutely should. We can worry about the rest of the team later.
Hard to believe this. If its so high then there was no need for a clause in the first place
Forget about that. Why on earth would Martial go to Dortmund. He´s not s slave you can just ship off wherever you´d like.
I agree its all potential with him, but the potential is at least there. There is the potential he kicks off and steps up next season or the year after, and then we're fine. We don't have that potential for right wing, or Diallo is at least a few years behind Greenwood even and totally unproven past youth level. We need both a right wing and a striker, but striker has a chance to sort itself out in the near future while right wing doesn't IMO. I'd be delighted with either Sancho or Haaland, with RW being a bigger need for me, but on the flip side top strikers being harder to find than top wingers.
