Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 I strongly doubt we will be able to pull off Haaland. Spain might have lost a bit of its appeal due to the recent slump of spanish teams but overall, city, psg and maybe even still real will have bigger sway. Either we work something out with a combination of Werner/Tammy/Havertz false nine or give broja or some other academy product a fair chance. throwing money at the problem might not be the wisest solution as seen with werner killer1257 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But err, what's the backup plan if we are not able to sign him? No idea. Haaland is the only name being linked which is alarming as you’d think as much as we would like to sign him there may be a chance we wont so we need a contingency plan. Cannot afford to go into next season with only Giroud, Abraham and Werner. Never going to close the gap to the top top teams with those 3.

Yeah that could be another way to go. I still dont know though, seems a lot to expect us to be a top team without an actual top number 9. City may mix it up and false 9 with Foden, Sterling, De Bruyne or whoever but theyve got Aguero and Jesus who is an adequate back up. Spurs have Harry Kane. Even United have got Edison Cavani. We need to make sure we get one, more so as Giroud is aging and Abraham really only looks capable of being a squad player at this level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R2D2 368 Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 (edited) It doesn't matter who our 2nd or 3rd targets are we're getting Haaland for sure, can't see anyone giving the money needed except us since who are gonna be desperate to have a top class striker in.
