What aren’t we trying to sign Haarland ?

How much do you think he is worth ?

we paid somewhere near 35 mill for Kun at the time .

By which time Kun had already proven himself at world level and played about 170 games for Madrid. By which time he had scored a hat full of goals Almost a hundred for Independiente and Madrid .

Young Mr Haarland , make no mistake , is good, very good. moved from the Austrian league to Borussia. but - scores in Austria and Bundesliga . Both nothing really special.

So , On form at the moment , as good as Kun was, i would say, given a bit of inflation about 45- 50 mill ? All of course a risk because of his age .
Idiots in the Press are talking up Sancho's worth . Really ! wait a few more months after the honeymoon for both is over in Borussia.

Twitter just announced Tosin off on loan to Fulham and Sancho is joining Cavani + Telles at the swamp, anyway I'm now tuned in to Sky Deadline Day bringing us the collective wisdom of deadly duo Andy Cole & Dwight York supplemented by pearls from Gabby Agbonlahor. A requiem mass for this cockroach infested TV channel I hope.

Roberts to Boro, Garcia to Barca, Tosin to Fulham - no incomings on the radar

I think Haaland is the real deal, to be honest. He has everything, even speed.
He is a striker defenders fear, imho are a few left out there.

I would break the bank for him, 80 mil should be enough + bonuses.
The issue, I think, Pep doesn't rate him/want him. He is not the type of player that works in his system.

I said it many times, I would take Lukaku in a heartbeat. Lazy as he is, 30 goals per season guaranteed with our service.

Tosin news from City’s twitter account? Good move for him it’d be great if he got regular game time there to see how he copes. That Fulham defence will be busy all season.

The recruitment balance sheet looks pretty ropy since 2012/13 when Txiki was put in charge
- ..................................+
Rodwell...........................
Garcia.............................
Sinclair............................
Bony...............................
Mangala.........................
Negredo..........................
Demichelis......................
Navas.............................
Fernando....Fernandinho
Gundogan........................
Bravo..................Ederson
Zinchenko........................
Stones...................Jesus
Mendy.....................Sane
Mahrez................Laporte
Danilo................Cancelo
Rodri................Bernardo

Not having that mahrez, danilo, gundogan or zinchenko were duds. All have served a purpose and added to the squad. Actually hang on you have demichellis as a dud? Thats just nonsense really as is most this list imo.

I liked Danilo horrific mistake to let that lad settle in and sell him. Never understood it. PS Stones will leave to Spurs.

Danilo was a decent player. Seemed to like it here as well.

If that's your opinion Txiki is a genius - mine is different and he's the top dud but I've made the list more scientofic

[sheblue]

Demichelis was a great signing at the time, excellent defender.

[Sideshow Bob]

Demichelis was a great signing at the time, excellent defender.

agree. and one of the few leaders we had when kompany couldnt stay healthy.

[City64]

Demichelis was mint for most of his time with us and a leader .Negredo truly sensational for a season then went downhill faster than an Austrian world champion skier . Fernando , Bony , Sinclair and Nolito utter shit .

[PeterParker]

So no left back.
There will be our downfall again this season.

Piss poor.

[City64]

Think Ake first choice for LB can also slot into CB if injuries.

I said it before, I am so tired of the experiments on the left. Delph, Zinch, Cancelo.

I think the bigger issue for Pep is Haaland is represented by Raiola.

Hasn't Ake played at left back before, so would you classify him as an experiment there?

[Green & Blue]

Hard to beat the excitement of transfer deadline day

[Nick]

Just to correct rose specs

Negredo was quality for half a season.

Demich was wank until he cut his hair, then class.

[littlebig]

Demichelis was excellent after a rocky start iirc, he was just what we needed, providing quality and leadership.

We should be a bit more clever and make some of these short contract / loan signings more often.

Why did we not sign a striker on such a contact is beyond me
