How can the rumours be true that Barca are trying for Haaland? Are these people deluded, apparently not a pot to piss in, yet think they can break a transfer record and fees, at the same time behaving like paupers with Torres


Rumours that Torres knows we’re going for Haaland and that’s why he wants out.


I think he just is a weird character and never wanted to come here in the first under place.
That interview when he said Valencia forced him out comes to mind.

I really think losing him is ok, he isn't special, even if this year he looked a bit better that last year.
We will manage, but I hope we will get the right money for him.


Not sure about questions about his ability PP his movement is world class mate. I just cannot for the life of me see how playing
Under Pep in this squad is in his mind, Farca are done. Broken for years. If he was French, PSG fine.

He has something, I agree, but I think something about him makes me think he will never be better than Morata, or someone similar.
Time will tell, but I think there are zero chances for him staying.

I agree with PP. He looks decent but he’s not shown anything to say he’ll be world class one day. And especially not if he’s going to be coached by a Xavi rather than Pep. Probably the most idiotic choice you could make as a player - which is Hazy’s point as well.

I watched him v Italy and he was class, I might have missed it have City commented boys.

Came here to say this. Saw the second half, the kid is turning into a proper beast.
I think we need to be very smart about this, because we might end up like we did with Kane if we will try and run after Haaland all summer long.

Imho, make an offer in the winter, now, take it or leave it. If not, go after this kid.

Saw that also. Fiorentina wants him to stay also, but they said he wants to go.
Plus he is serbian.

Piss aside, he looks like the real deal, hungry.

Florentina aren’t mugs and that will know the speculation there is around the boy. They will set their stall out at £100m and will likely let him go for around £75/80m, which is still a very serious wedge of money for someone so young and relatively unproven

Ridiculous fee for Torres.

Ok. Not chump change. Would have asked for more myself but it would still be a record transfer fee received for us and a profit of £30+M in 18 months.

And I guess if he wants to go it's better to get good money whilst his stock is high

I am more curious if we are going to sign someone, but I think there is no chance.
Is not like we missed him, but another place opens and with Mahrez going in January to AFCON, It will be a gamble.

Zero chance of Sterling leaving on loan. The path to regular playing wasn’t obvious and he wanted to leave so I guess it was the right decision. I’d be very surprised to see anyone coming in in January. Maybe Cole Palmer has a bit more chance of playing a part?

I am hoping so. I am also hoping he isn't one of the guys Pep was referring to with the off field activities.

Looked decent whenever hes had a few minutes and like Foden, a City fan who has been with us for ages which gives him extra grace in my eyes

Apparently 6 million of the 8 million add ons are easy to hit.

I just think we should have got more, particularly a january sale!
If we were trying to sign him now the fee would be 50% higher.
Why not wait until he's fit, plays a bit and then let him go in the summer, probably for more. What's the point? It's very unlikely we will replace him next month.
It's been said we're weaking our squad, and who knows what will happen and who we will need at the back end of the season.

Pointless sale. Fuck Barcelona, they should have been made wait and pay more.

Now if we sign Haaland next week, I'll retract the above :lol: :lol:
