Erling Haaland | Dortmund player

Try google "is Duncan Castles reliable" and you'd see.

Madrid was, not anymore. Plus, if they want to sign both Mbappe and Haaland in a summer they'd need at least 150m cash for those two deals alone. Then the Spain salary cap. Very unlikely imo.

duncan castles lost the last of his credibility when he allowed dominic cummings to drive around him to test his eye sight during the height of lockdown.

Mbappe would be on a free
 
Going to put this out there, for his age he is the best player I've seen since R9. And I include 21 year old Ronaldo and Messi in that. An absolute force of nature.
 
Castles is far from Tier 4. That guy reports things almost years in advance.

Well I believe it.
Madrid is first choice for most superstars. That's just the way it is.
Football can change a lot. No way is he agreeing to join anybody over a year away :lol:

We have just as good of a chance to sign him than anybody, we just need to make sure we cement CL football.
 
Told you lot he’s struggle without Sancho spoon feeding him.
 
Why isn't he in the Premier League yet?! :(

He needs Dortmund as a stepping stone and known selling club to play it safe and make every big club salivate even more than if he played directly in the PL as his numbers wouldn't be as absolutely insane as they are in the Bundesliga. He'll get more offers by better clubs with higher wages that way. It's a perfect plan.
 
Chelsea stupidly spunk their money on average Lukaku so I think we don't have any other competition than Real. How much is his buyout clause? Do they have enough money for him? I think they are aiming at Mbappe for free anyway. We will have Cavani leaving and possibly Martial too. He will be a guranteed starter basically. We just need to show ourselves feasable for him winning something this year. His relationship with Ole shouldnt be underestimated. Timing will be very good I reckon.

One of his biggest inflators has left the league though, maybe that plan will backfire now.
 
He's obviously a good player but can he adapt to the frightening pace and tight defenses of the Premier League?

His number are even more insane in CL.

Topscorer last CL season.
2nd UCL top scorer in 2020 behind only Lewandowski.
 
He and United are a great match in so many ways and less than stellar in some ways.

I wouldn't listen to rumours about him having decided where to go yet. Probably a decision hasn't been made and even if there was a clear preference, they would keep it in the family.

United needs to sell some players and also needs to focus on midfield for improvement, but there's every reason to think that United is a strong contender. Probably it will be between United and Madrid next summer.

Probably because it's rare the very top players in their primes play in the prem. They usually come here when they are raw like a CR and Suarez then bounce to the bigger clubs in Spain. or they just dont even bother like Zidane, Lewa, R9 etc

No one wants to come over here if they can earn as much in Barcelona and Madrid. Madrid pretty much let Varane go because they did not want to bump his wages.
 
I love Mase but suggestions he has more to his game than Haaland are absolutely rubbish. This guy is a completely different beast and has no serious weakness. He's really absurd.

the buyout clause is about 75 Million Euros. That is really cheap for him but it was impossible to get him without giving that clause. But hey: having the best striker of the future for 2 1/2 years and getting on top a win of 55 Million Euros is not bad for a selling club

Scoring those against Sevilla was pretty good, but Lazio, Brügge and St. Petersburg aren’t really that great, right? No doubt if he was playing in the PL he wouldn’t get these numbers. He’s exceptional, obviously, but it’s still the perfect plan to use Dortmund as a stepping stone.

Why wouldnt he get these numbers in the PL? Salah broke the all time record and he never scored more than 15 in Italy.
It really depends on who hes going to play for, PL teams arent as good going forward as Dortmund, apart from Liverpool and City and maybe United this season.

I am sure he will have done well for you in the meantime. You will find a way to reinvest I reckon.
