Lining up targets and signing them early is something we just can't seem to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizy 18,952 Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 Welp. Looks like it’s Haaland or bust, then. Kane was always impossible, Lukaku is happy being the king in Italy where he’s the main man and free of the English media criticizing him. We can now either make Dortmund an offer they can’t refuse (£150m now I think they’d reluctantly sell rather than for his small release clause next summer) or we go the Sancho route, play Havertz up top, and extend Giroud for another year. Our options are even more threadbare now. Muzchap 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the same club that decided to keep Lewandowski in his final year of the contract rather than sell him to Bayern and then let him go to them for free after that.

Haggling has been the issue for a host of targets in recent years and look what we've ended up with. Baka, Emerson and Zappacosta are supposedly going this Summer for 40m loss. One plus I read over the past few days is, those days are seemingly over. Tuchel wants his first choices or nothing.

True but at the same time, it's never straightforward to complete big money transfers, even more so while we're in this pandemic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but maybe that was out of principal. Taking a stand against a domestic rival trying to take their best player. Maybe it’ll be easier to take from a foreign club? Especially during pandemic affected times. Honestly, we’re kind of fucked here in terms of options. The irony of our club being in its best position and potential in like a decade and there are no strikers available. 😂😂😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the only way Haaland comes to us is, if we offer a player in return (CHO is like someone they're keen on) to give them some incentive.

Maybe it’ll be easier to take from a foreign club? Especially during pandemic affected times. But they have also maintained a pretty strong stance over not selling Haaland, even before they secured Champions League football next season. Just like with some other players in Germany that have release clause (think Leipzig not selling Werner a season before his release clause activated for example), clubs don't seem to really push to sell their players before the clause comes into play. Also, don't think Dortmund want to leave themselves short by selling Haaland now. They have more chance to achieve something next season and make up for the price difference through Top 4 finish when his fee will be lower. There also doesn't seem to be any noise from Haaland or Raiola about leaving this summer. 7 minutes ago, Pizy said: Honestly, we’re kind of fucked here in terms of options.

Clockwork 1,794 Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 I think you guys need to prepare yourselves for a quite transfer window. I anticipate minor signing there and there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf, they gave Man United a clear valuation for Sancho and they fucked about all summer trying to get a discount. If they had just payed what was asked Sancho would’ve been in a red shirt already. We have to at least try here. If they say no they say no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superblue 6,372 Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 37 minutes ago, OneMoSalah said: I think hes gonna do another season at Paris then leave on a free in all honesty to go to one of Madrid/Barca. He has one year left on his deal and personally I think he wants to go to Spain as has been talked about for ages, mainly Madrid when Zizou was there but Barca will have seem him up close and personal a few months ago and he was electric against them also. It's another possible dilemma. Both Mbappe and Haaland may be available next summer and whilst it would be fierce competition, the club will surely want to make a play for both. The only chance we really have is to be as competitive as possible again next season in England and Europe, hopefully winning something again. But to aid this we could really do with strengthening, but do you then spend big on an attacker this summer or wait for the next? It's always going to be difficult going up against Real Madrid and Barcelona in the transfer market but this could be a really important season for both. They are both debt ridden and in need of a rebuild. I wonder whether Haaland and Mbappe are able to look through the glamour and history of both and instead look elsewhere. A strong season next year could really put us in a position to make a strong claim for one of them. Muzchap 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would still work in our favour. Dortmund are a selling club after all, so if teams pay up, Haaland & Sancho will leave. 2 minutes ago, Pizy said: Tbf, they gave Man United a clear valuation for Sancho and they fucked about all summer trying to get a discount. If they had just payed what was asked Sancho would’ve been in a red shirt already. We have to at least try here. If they say no they say no. We've been known to do exactly the same. So many rumours going around about a clause and so, but if Dortmund say £125m+, we're out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
