Shithole of a season ending for us, only needed now is to fail getting Top 4 and its a complete disasterclass.

Saw this bit in an article about United's transfer plans...

At the start of 2021, Erling Haaland was United’s principal target for the centre-forward role but as his agent, Mino Raiola, made his way around Europe it became clear the cost of any deal for the 20-year-old Borussia Dortmund striker would surpass all expectations. The prospective €150 million transfer price, plus agent fees and salary demands of £500,000 per week, which would break many clubs’ wage structures, certainly led United to re-evaluate.

To that end, outgoing executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward recently informed manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer that the cost of his Norwegian countryman would be too prohibitive and, by mutual decision to avoid any saga, the Haaland pursuit was put on hold. Multiple sources believe that Dortmund expect Haaland to stay for another season now Champions League qualification has been secured.

Haaland’s €75 million (£64 million) release clause comes into effect in the summer of 2022. Manchester City were previously confident but there is a school of thought that Real Madrid stand out as the striker’s first-choice destination.

Re: Erling Haaland 

Chelsea working intense to get Erling Haaland. 
He is seen as the “missing” player to make them challenge for the PL-title next season.
Fee very high, but confidence that this can be solved.
The main obstacle could be the wage-structure at Chelsea

Break the wage structure, he is worth it. Whats the source.

Fjortoft, not reliable source.

We work well under the radar with these type of signings.

Fjortoft is normally pretty clueless and only regurgitates what he hears from other journalists, but with his Norwegian connection I wonder if he’s slightly more clued in here with Haaland…

Well, it's no longer under the radar if it's gonna become public, assuming that story is even true...
