Imagine Abramovich response to being sanctioned is a big fuck you and let’s Chelsea fold to get his own back. Give away the club or let it fold and he just sits there and says nah fuck it let it burn to the ground.

I bet UK government (aka the British tax payer) would have to bail it out like the fucking gas companies that they lent a billion to and nobody’s paid any of it back.

Manchester City have a deal in place to seal Erling Haaland

EXCLUSIVE: Haaland has a £63m release clause in his Dortmund contract, while Mino Raiola, is set to earn a substantial payment. Those fees are likely to take the total outlay towards £100m.

Haaland makes a huge amount of sense for City. A striker is the one missing piece for them in an already stacked squad. And Haaland is one of the best in the world in that position. Not only that but he’s still so young, so he could have that position locked down for them for the next 10 years.

Raiola is a ball ache to deal with. But it is what it is.

Good win for United, but they did escape a red card.

It's fun to follow the title race, CL spot fight, and relegation fight this season.

If we did ask him to wait another year then you guys are getting him for sure this summer no doubt about it.

[Fabrizio Romano] Excl: Salah and his agent have no intention to accept current new contract bid from Liverpool. Talks have broken down since December, as things stand. Mo’s priority is to stay - but not at current conditions. Let’s see Liverpool next move.

 

[Labadal]

I'm guessing that the agent leaked this to Romano, as damage control for yesterday's tweet.

They are walking a tough line, they want to cash as much as possible while at the same time not losing the fans support. They are just trying to squeeze the club.

As a Madrid fan, go for him. I dont want a 20yo player that have more than 14 injuries in such short span of his career.

 

[Banjo64]

As a Madrid fan, go for him. I dont want a 20yo player that have more than 14 injuries in such short span of his career.

Gladly. He won’t be used in every game for City and we operate fine without a dedicated 9 anyway. Plus we’re used to Aguero’s injury record

We’ve added Julian Alvarez for fire power also.

For me the thing that turn me off most about Haaland is his agent, that one is cancer to any club that deal with him. Of course getting a lot of injuries is worrying but since he is young it is a 50/50 whether he continue to be riddled with injuries or alternatively bounce back and have a good run.

I can only hope that because Alfie played for City, and that Haaland himself is a City fan from childhood that he will limit Raiola’s volatility.

As do the major players in Europe its funny how since news said wasn't going to real the injuries get brought up personally I'd chose a injured haaland over a lazy mbappe his stats speak for themselves.

I thought Haaland was a Leeds fan? Can see him liking the idea of playing for a club his dad played for and he grew up around thought. And obviously City are going to be challenging for trophies in the near future more than Leeds.

With Raiola, he does stir shit up but ultimately he’s only acting on behalf of his clients. And Haaland is going to be one of his big cash cows for years to come.

Nah he’s been in the City terraces a few times with Alfie

 

[DKehoe]

I can see him having an affinity for both but he had said his dream was to win the league with Leeds. Maybe he’ll end up there once he’s passed his peak.

Haaland surrounded by creators like De Bruyne, Graelish and Foden could be ridiculous.

 

[Dark Rider]

Raiola drills into all his clients skulls that money is more important than any club well being and I have a feeling that will apply to Haaland just like the rest of them regardless of whether he goes to Real Madrid or Manchester City or even anywhere else. I will be pleasantly surprised if Haaland actually put a muzzle on Raiola but I highly doubt it. Also look at Pogba, a Manchester United childhood fan, Raiola is still taking them to the cleaners and being a thorn in the club side all year around, don't expect anything less than that.

As do the major players in Europe its funny how since news said wasn't going to real the injuries get brought up personally I'd chose a injured haaland over a lazy mbappe his stats speak for themselves.

Haaland strike me a little more pragmatic than Mbappe but honestly I think Mbappe have a higher potential ceiling and I think when it is all said and done that Mbappe will achieve more over his career than Haaland
We will get to enjoy seeing what they will do though and decide for themselves.

[Bobo TV] Cassano: “Cristiano Ronaldo is not among the best in history. Did he score 807 goals? Yes. Has he won titles? Yes. He is a good player, but playing good football is different. Zidane, Iniesta… haven’t scored half the goals he has, but they are true geniuses.”

There are markets who pay high prices to be retirement homes to high profile players just for the marketing deals so even when it is retirement time for him he would get way better offers elsewhere to use him for marketing.

Dunno if anyone else watches Tifo but they do some good stuff. Here's a video looking at how both Mbappe and Haaland could fit into Real Madrid's lineup.

 

[Banjo64]

Buzzing to play Atletico, they would have been my first choice pick.

Never played them before, English and Spanish champions, beautiful attacking football meets the most resolute defence in world football.

Should be a cracking two legs.

This season they are FAR from being the most resolute defense, in fact they are having big problems in defense and the entire team is under-performing massively. They might step up of course but I highly doubt it they are far from their best this entire season.

 

[DKehoe]

People are really puzzled about them being together?

With Benzema and Vinicius in great form recently I think it’s fair to wonder how you could manage to fit all four into a cohesive lineup. And with PSG we’ve seen putting incredibly talented players alongside each other isn’t a guarantee of success and can leave you unbalanced.

I don't expect the new faces to fit right in from day one so they will have to be slowly eased in, on the other hand I think after all are comfortable they will need to fight for their spots. And sooner or later Benzema will play less due to age.

And with PSG we’ve seen putting incredibly talented players alongside each other isn’t a guarantee of success and can leave you unbalanced.
