Dave and AC I think will re-sign. Zouma I see being sold this Summer. James isn't an issue with a 2025 expiry and Silva is 38 next season so not exactly crazy to have him on year to year. 

Rudi is the one to worry about imo.

Giroud already in Milan...

Milan are gonna have two strikers with the combined age of 73...

75 very soon 

Giroud turns 35 in 2 and a half months and Zlatan turns 40yo four days later.

With Giroud officially gone and reliable sources reporting that we’re actively shopping Tammy around, something has to be happening in the striker department. 

The fees we receive for Guehi, Emerson, Tammy, and Tomori would make a massive Haaland bid seem much more realistic. Finding buyers willing to pay decent change for Tammy and Emerson is proving difficult it seems, though.

Every day that passes makes it harder to see Dortmund willing to budge since they won’t be able to replace him. Feels like it needs to happen with at least a couple of weeks before the deadline.

We will get Haaland, the club are just gathering cash and ready to flick the lot of it at BVB

Wouldn't rule out Abraham staying due to the circumstances.

Agreed. In fact I think it’s more likely than not that he does stay because odds aren’t great with Haaland.

It'll be interesting to see what Tuchel does with Abraham in the pre-season games.

If we are really desperate to sign Haaland, what's stopping Dortmund - regardless if they budge or not -  from really milking that desperation to get more money out of us like say 200 million instead of 150 million?

Also, if we really need to raise cash by selling players to buy Haaland or whoever, what's stopping potential buyers of those players from just backing out, not paying what the club want until they lower the price etc?

basically we are fucked

Dortmund are capped by want they can demand. I think they're serious about £150m but I cannot see them starting to ask for £200m because of the buy out next season. If we offer £150m then that is the best offer they'll ever get as it is only 10.5 months before the clause kicks in.

I don't want Lukaku so any news on him being 'untouchable' is good news to me. 

[Mário César 1,043]

I want a fucking strike please 😢

But what if they really stick with their stance but try to see how far we're willing to go with the offer? 

Also while Haaland doesn't seem opposed to the idea of joining us, from his camp and Raiola's perspective, them leaving next year would be better from a financial POV. That 100 million or whatever the difference is in the transfer fee, they can get clubs to use that and pay them more in wages, agent fees etc. It's somewhat telling that they don't seem to be pushing for a move or making any sort of noise.

Hope we get him now!
