Magic Lamps 9,353 Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 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 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
OneMoSalah 7,307 Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 (edited) 7 minutes ago, Jason said: So much talk (or maybe even assumption) that we will sign Haaland this summer to solve our striker issue. 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think that will look just like Fabio Silva with the Wolves. Great potential but getting bullied by PL CBs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah...would need Havertz to toughen up. Could do well like what Firmino does for Liverpool. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

R2D2 212 Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 (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.
