***Official Winter Transfer Thread***

haaland just scored a stunning chip over the gladbach keeper from a tight angle and made it look easy. give sterling or jesus 1000 tries at it and we all know what would happen...

edit: and just as i type that haaland scores a second. GET. HIM. IN.

Alfie Haaland was one of my favourite City players at the time. Getting his kid in would mean a lot. Hopefully the club are looking at this

I am NO contract expert, but the way I read this is he has agreed to stay until next year?

Haaland has an agreement in his contract allowing him to leave the Signal Iduna Park for €75m, but Standard Sport understands that clause will not kick in until 2022.

That’s how I understand it too mate. It was rumoured at first that the clause would kick in this summer, but I think it’s been confirmed it’s 2022.

I’d definitely test the water this summer though. I’d throw kids at them in the deal (Braaf etc)

[Mase]

Haaland only played around 38 games for us - most of them carrying an injury to his left knee that would eventually force him to retire. I remember him scoring at Villa Park when I was sat in the Holte End and literally had to sit on my hands to stop myself celebrating.

There you go, you see. All these years and I never knew that.

Aye mate, he played with strapping on his left knee often (the opposite knee that Keane hit)

Would love to see us raid PSG. Just a point, we seem to face barriers to the elite players. We don’t deal with the agent - Haaland. PSG will never sell to our owners. What is the solution as we need the best we can get to replace the best.

Mahrez, Jesus and cash for Mbappe would do the job

Chuck in Garcia too.

And add a couple of million extra if they'll take Mendy as well.

[PeterParker]

I would stay away from Mbappe.
Talent, no doubt, but a primadonna of the highest order. Cares more of to be a social media woke warrior.

Plus he is dumb as fuck.
Wouldn't want him here to hear after 2-3 years moans he wants at Madrid or Barcelona

Real and Barcelona are finished as super elite, they're skint mate, they rely on tourism, it's going to take them years to recover. Scousers can't afford him, I think it's down to us, Rags, Real if they can miraculously stump up the cash. We already got a sulking Gimp Garcia, rather have a sulking Kylian than shithouse called Mendy. Personally, Haaland is better finisher, a goal machine, Kylian is better footballer.

Probably all just bollocks talk, his contract must be up for renewal soon.

[london blue 2]

All this talk of messi, mbappe and haaland is annoying. It doesn’t feel like we have a hope in hell of getting any looking at our previous transfer activities.

Those clubs will always be an attraction. The spaniards will not let them implode, they are their golden goose.
Mbappe grew near Neymar, another cunt of the highest order, in his years when he is was building his character so you can say he got a lot of things from him, things I would hate so see here.

I am biased, to be honest. I liked him, but then that stuff with the romanian ref happend and then I took a closer look at him. He had some weird conflict with the Cameroon federation, they said they called him at every national team from u15 and he refused them all. He said viceversa, that they never called him, but the funny part was the cameroon FA was just congratulating him, not moaning he chose France.
Behind all of that spark is a social media whore who loves the attention and really doesn't respect much.

I think our succes was built on characters. We rarely had cunts in the squad under the new board. That is why we are the most succesfull local team of the past decade.

There is a lot of sense in here and i agree with it. Unfortunately we are breeding a generation of narcissistic fuck-wits and top-level footballers are no different. They waste no time in promoting themselves and their brand and it is something that annoys the shift out of me but I figure that I could live with this if we had a player of this calibre here. The sweet irony of me mentioning narcissism and posting my views is not lost on me.....

[Dimples]

Pogba has talent - has he been beneficial for Utd?
Ozil has talent - has he been beneficial for Arsenal?

Mbappe seems like more of the same.
Don't want him anywhere near us.

Jayden Braaf on loan to Udinese

Taylor Harwood-Bellis on loan to Blackburn until end of season

And we've signed 18 Yr old Rochdale striker Kwadwo Baah, apparently beating Bayern to his signature. He remains at Rochdale until end of season.

Will be good to see how Braaf performs and what they think of his attitude whilst he’s over there.

[Dubciteh]

Interesting moves, braaf was supposed to be with a 9m obligation to buy but doesnt seem to have been included. Baah whos same age we bought for 500k, would love to know the plan with him and how he compares to braaf.

We have a good relationship with rochdale, they play nice football(shitter version of us) and they have bazanu as there keeper on loan from us. Hes a real talent.

Interested to see how HB does too, its rare we send someone on loan and they come back and impact in the team. I wonder is this the start of the end of his time here? I hope not. I fear he could be the next tosin....speaking of which we got robbed with him from fulham. Peanuts he was given away for.

[Mase]

I’ve just noticed that D'Margio Wright-Phillips has been let go. I thought he was decent?

Interesting. read last week they ”had problems” paying the rest for Sane.
Horrible club
