Other clubs' transfers

Not so sure about that tbh. 

[McCormick]

We spent a similar amount on Jacob Murphy

Haaland is my favourite player to watch. An absolute specimen, not sure I've ever seen a player with his physical quality. Honestly can't wait to see him in the PL but at the end of the day it's kind of revolting.

[Optimistic Nut]

Wonder how much of a pay cut he’s taken? I’m guessing he’ll be on £100-150k a week?

[Decky]

Hope he enjoys celebrating his first home hatrick at the end of the match infront of the 5k fans who stayed for the full game.

Villa are currently paying around £125k pw at the moment whilst he’s on loan. He’s supposedly on between £380-480k pw at Barca…crazy money- no wonder their finances are fucked.

No idea if he'll "flop" (my guess is he'll score a boatload) but at around 51m, there's almost no risk really. I'd guess even if he doesn't quite fit in with their style or meet expectations there, they'd get their money back from someone. I mean he's an instinctive finisher, fast and physical and probably good enough for most leagues, even if it turns out, not quite PL perfect. Also, didn't realize Haaland is still only 21. Jeez, bloke is still 5 or 6 years from his peak

What an absolute bargain that is. 

 

He's tired a bit in recent games, but he's clearly on an absolute other level skill-wise to the rest of the squad.

 

I love watching him. After ten years of Lambert, Sherwood, fucking Bruce-ball, and some of the utter dross we've had in that time, this bloke is a magician.

I'm sure he wouldn't come here but surely we poked at that release fee once or twice?

[toon25]

Dortmund are so good at setting up that conveyor belt of talent.

for £17m you can’t go wrong - his wages will be big hence the somewhat smallish fee - think Barca are so desperate now to offload him

After a bright start, hasn't he been pretty average the last few games? @brummiewill know better, but feel like he hasn't done much lately.

Whole team was tired and out of ideas for 4 games or so, and he was no exception.

 

I love him, I'll be gutted if we don't sign him, he's genuinely exciting to watch.

What sort of wage will he be on?

Nowhere near what he was on at Barcelona, but tbh, I don't care.

 

Years and years of the football equivalent of having cold dog sick sprayed into my eyes week after week, I don't care, the owners seem to have a ton of money and are happy to spend it, so if they think the deal is good financially, I'll happily go with that.

So boringly predicable.

 

Do none of these so called world beaters actually fancy a challenge?

Fantastic replacement. Love Adeyemi's potential. Great move for him.

Sentiments like this always end well.

Nice to see someone else name checking Gerrard again. I don’t think there’s any way of referring to him in the press without a quick noshing

You seem to forget what football club this forum is for. 14 years of Mike Ashley says hello to you.
