If that's all we end up with after winning a major title again, I'll be very worried.

Should Leeds sell him, we'll receive a portion of the fee.

We're an attractive option having just won the CL for starters. The clubs you mentioned will be in the CL next season & two of the three will probably be league winners. People have that train of thought based more so on the competition we'll have to face for his signature & pay packet that will be on the table. Not everything comes down to Haaland having his heart set on a specific club.

It is, and they are showing it for free as well.

Signing someone that will be 33 in a matter of weeks is the last thing we should be doing.

If rumours are true, we could be the place they offload him to. Bayern messed themselves up making Sane their third highest paid player & expected others to be mute about it.

Bayern could easily step in for a proven replacement for Lewandowski. It really is, this summer or bust.

Just seems like a cop-out IMO. Hope Broja is the first to show them otherwise.

If our youngsters just had a look at the players that have broken through in the last few years, they'd see there is an opportunity. If the latter does come to fruition for any of them, we'll still effectively be held to ransom.

Slightly disappointing to see a number of youngsters move on, but they are choosing the easier option, so be it.

I don't expect Kane to remain at Spurs, so he'll be joining someone.

All I see is more egos to deal with. I honestly don't see them winning the CL in the near future despite their stack squad.

I don't know how that's possible with Abraham, Bats, Broja & Werner as our CF options. If nothing notable changes, we'll have to hope a number of our other attacking options have the seasons of their lives in terms of output to be competitive in both.

It will certainly be an interesting few weeks, nonetheless. I do worry that if the last bit comes to fruition, we could be in some trouble.

Have they ever done that aside from when clauses are well publicised? The fact it's probably this summer or bust, as a few others have said, plays it part. No one here knows if we've actively registered our interest in him, but if we have, we either need to offer a figure that is in their ball park (£150m IMO) or move on and prevent another transfer saga dragging on till the end of the window.

See Bulka's move is paying off. The grass isn't always greener...

I don't think Dortmund would be stupid enough to let greed get in the way of receiving double of next season's fee. The rumoured €150m fee is what they are holding out for, so the ball is effectively in our court; cough up or move on.

I noticed shortly after posting. Same thing as we did with Ake.

I hope we are covering our tracks at least & have a buy-back clause inserted.

Something that came to mind should the latter leave. Tuchel doesn't fancy Tammy & we can't have Werner as our sole CF (not sure about Broja's situation).

If we don't sign Haaland, is Rice & Traore meant to be seen as a good window? We can't have this pattern of getting fillers IMO. Also, before you or anyone else makes a comment, I don't believe Rice would improve our XI that much, not to mention the price tag to boot.

Not necessarily; some players have their heart set on moving to particular clubs. I'm sure Dortmund would be more than happy if Haaland said no to us (providing we pay up) to join RM next summer for still a hefty profit. I agree for the most part. However, we won't exactly get any notable fees for outgoings unless Werner shockingly leaves.

It's seemingly down to Roman going by most. If he puts up Dortmund's asking price, he'll be in Blue for the coming season.

Money can't buy you success. It will be the same story next year & Mbappe will be off.

Ah, fair enough. I wasn't aware it was official (had seen rumours).
