You wouldn't expect someone like Haaland who looks to be obsessed with being at peak physical condition would sacrifice any kind of preseason training to force a move. I still think its possible we sign him, I would just hate the club to draw it out, the good thing with Dortmund is they set the fee, pay it or don't, we saw that with Sancho last year. The stumbling block is and was always going to be his father and agent.

Maybe I'm just clinging onto the Diego Costa and Cesc Fabregas summer, we literally had our business wrapped up so so so early then, it was bliss.

A buyout that was active and a gentlemans agreement that was as good as a buyout. Kante and Werner were similar too. 

Apples and oranges.

If that's the case this deal is very close. We will pay 175m, no problem. 

Dortmund can buy Vlahovic for like 40m and spend Haaland/Sancho money elsewhere. Vlahovic also won't be available next summer so selling Haaland now would be smart business for them. And no player is worth 100m for just one season. Plus this is most reliable source about Haaland and no surprise it comes out after EURO. We are in full offensive! 

AC Milan and Atletico have already bid for him. Spurs and Juve also rumoured to be looking to make moves soon also so Vlahovic will in all likelihood be off the market well before then. Lots of talk he wants to play for Juventus more than anyone else out of teams linked.

Price set at £51 m if you believe sources as well which I think for teams outside of Italy maybe is a bit of a issue because he’s only had the one real good season there, probably similarly to why we maybe didnt stump up/push as hard for Pastore and Dybala in years gone by also due to the fact they’d only had the one really good season at time we were linked and could of flopped outside of Serie A for a big price tag.

Donyell Maren is close to going to Dortmund, plays CF but he’s able to play all across the front line on the left or right side also. Andre Silva went to Leipzig earlier too. Not a huge list of CFs out there with exceptional potential or good currently who are attainable so you would imagine Dortmund are 100% preparing for another season with Haaland.

Then Maren maybe gets that season to get used to things in Germany before taking over as their main CF next summer, bearing the bigger goal scoring responsibility or they’ll make another move from there.

Be bad enough they've lost Sancho who got like 25+ goal contributions last season so to lose Haaland this summer thats another 35-40+ minimum (cant remember how many he got all competitions). Talking about a team losing 65+ goals in one summer.

The update is that there is no update.

Fjortoft was on Romano's show and all he apparently said was basically what we already know for ages - the club are interested in Haaland but there's no agreement etc. all comes down to whether the club can put in a bid big enough to make Dortmund sell him.

Well that is hardly surprising Fjortoft is a known BS'er. 

Where I stand on Håland is that it was always a difficult transfer to pull off. I think I rated it as a 30%-40% chance as Dortmund clearly don't want to sell. For me, the deal was never going to happen during the Euro's but I don't see us going all the way to the deadline to try and get it done. In my opinion, we have about three weeks to get it done with every passing week meaning it becomes less likely. 

I do think we will sign players this Summer and I think they will be good players, however I do think the club are prioritising selling players and getting extentions for players like AC/Rudi/Liva/Bate which makes sense as we have so many dregs and those four players are quite valuable.

Be interesting to know what the actual offer was.

well, we value Tammy at (lolol) £50m

and CHO I am sure around £30-35m

€175m is £150m

so it was likely £65-70m cash + Tammy & CHO

at MOST is £90m cash + Tammy & CHO (Tammy at £35m, CHO at £25m)

That's assuming it's even true considering it's Sky...

The Sky report said we offered one or the other, not both. 

EDIT: England's Sky said Abraham OR CHO while Germany's Sky said both. Go figure...

The Sky report said we offered one or the other, not both. 

then if Tammy, it was £100m to £115m cash, likely £100m

if CHO, £115m to £125m, likely £115m

Even if that story was true, I doubt the club even offered that amount of cash to start with.

that was based off the €175m price that so many claim is what they want

I cannot please everyone (I still say they would take €150m cash)

I meant valuing the player for XXX amount and then offer the remaining in cash. I mean, if the club could say 100 million immediately, I highly doubt the remaining 50 million is a problem. Am sure the club would try to get Dortmund to lower their price. 

[Warning_Hazard 156]

And so it begins!

They offered 1 player plus cash. probably no where near what people are saying here, opening offer!

 

50m plus player first bid id say

well, all you need to do then

if you take my figure of €150m

is reduce the cash on all my posts above by £21m

simple maths

Won’t believe we’ve made an offer at all until someone reliable reports it. Ornstein or Law.
