Lord knows what PSG are offering him and bonuses that are under the table. From what I read they are desperate for an upgrade on Florenzi.

That is still a lot of money for a position that isn't a priority. And my argument still stands, he is utterly ineffective anywhere else and in any other system.

Behave. Nearly 80 million for a RWB that can't really be effective anywhere else. Rather we utilise both CHO against low blocks and James against tougher opposition.

Don't let Vesper see that.

For me its out of the question. A ST is needed. Haaland is a generational talent and should be the priority. Isak closely monitored as a backup.

But our competitors aren't standing still. All reports indicate they are improving in areas that were weaknesses. Your last paragraph could potentially lead to an utter capitulation. What's to stay our current crop fail to perform against low blocks again and we find ourselves struggling to break Top 4? Surely that would mean the end of Tuchel, with yet again instability in the club. Why would Haaland and Mbappe even entertain the thought of coming here?

I expect everyone to have better individual seasons this time around, but you have to ask yourself, is it enough to challenge for the title? Again, if City get Grealish+Kane and United get Sancho + Varane, Liverpool with a fully fit defence and Leicester continuing to improve, are you still willing to take that risk?

Sure they can, but are you willing to take that risk? Particularly if City get Kane + Grealish and United get Sancho + Varane? Sure we need our attackers to do more, but not having a recognisable #9 when we are already 16th in chances converted, is that something you really want to head next season into?

We see this every summer don't we? Our transfers are well within the dark of the media.

Question is whether CHO wants to sacrifice his career being another Victor Moses.

If there is any truth to that no way Dortmund accept.

We should hope. Massive bargain for his quality.

We still have Zappacosta....

You'd hope the club would've learned from the 2017-18 debacle. One of the reasons we appointed Cech no doubt.

Was the same thing with Havertz. Just need the Dortmund YouTube page to post a Haaland documentary 😎

DiMarzio claiming PSG will bid 75 million + bonuses soon. I personally would feel sick if we bid more than that on Hakimi. And I'm Moroccan myself.

What a farce and blatant click bait article. TOTAL AGREEMENT REACHED....yet if you actually read it it states "Real are stated to only be willing to bid slightly above €100m. Clearly, this saga could run and run." Add the fact 99% of the population know Real are broke, this is some conjured up bollocks.

Liverpool have three attackers that scored 260+ goals within the past 4 years. City won the league without a traditional #9 fair enough, but in context this was a pandemic season where they had no real competitors, and their conversation rate was far superior than ours. Particularly since we switched to a back 5. City are also looking to pursue Kane so it isn't as if they are head over heals continuing to not have a #9 in their team.

Aye this has to be it.

I wouldn't exactly classify Haaland as a poacher. I also wouldn't call our current system something that's sustainable when we are currently 16th in the conversion charts since Tuchel's appointment. Something to build upon yes, but something that will eventually collapse should the execution of our chances not be fixed this summer. Again, I am firmly on the boat of wagering utter capitulation should we go into next season in the hopes our current attackers find better form. 1st in chances created under Tuchel. Haaland would at least provide the team a focal point to be at the end of the chances we create.

Think you pretty much answered your own question. You'd hope Tuchel would want an attacker that is the clinical focal point vs having an additional attacker involved in build up which ruins the execution of the attack.

I think its more so the latter. We need a clinical focal point vs another attack heavily involved in build up. So Haaland.

He's pretty good technically. Great dribbler and link up play. When you look at our current attacking players metrics in build up, they are all heavily involved. When you compare it to Isak and Haaland, the former looks like he would better suit us. But that is the question. Are we so poor at finishing because we have too many players involved in the build up and no one being the clinical focal point? If that is the case Haaland is the answer.

Not to sound ignorant, but how on earth are footballers still not vaccinated?

Can see Isak happening.
