Managers get sacked a lot more frequently than DoF. The DoF doesn't pick the team, no. But he does have the power to sack the manager...
Benzema's contract ends 2023. No they wouldn't play together, they'd rotate for a season maybe, then Benzema either leaves or stays as backup...
Not anymore.
I belive our team can beat anyone. If they can string it together we are a team that can take anyone.
And Ronaldo will keep on proving haters wrong.
Surely going to city next season now? I think we have be in for him though.
It was a deserved draw. Norway is indeed very talented.
How often have city actually beaten us to players though? Players we really are chasing, not tabloid rumours? Not very often
when Mbappe, Messi, Neymar, Di Maria, Icardi are in the same team i don't understand why the above three can't play together. Even CR7 and Cavani are in the same team now.
In the end money talks. Haaland won't say no to 1M/week.
And who says city are offering that?
Aye, he's a feckin cretin of an agent but somehow manages to get his fat pay cheque at the end of it. No wonder so many managers dislike him, yet accept he manages top players
Mbappe, Messi, Neymar, Di Maria and Icardi on the pitch to the same time.....i doubt that will ever happen.
wherever he goes they will plenty of trophies, he got that.
So, Haaland has now scored 11 goals and provided 2 assists. In one month (Aug 7th - Sep 7th).
Hopefully Ole doesn't feck this season up and his relationship with Haaland helps us snag him, otherwise if he goes to another PL side - we're fecked.
The question is, who are we going to bench next season. Haaland or Ronaldo. That´s a bit of a problem.
Neither.
Ronaldo is 37. He is going to be a useful player but he is not going to be the one and only player for us.
He will be our Cavani of last season whilst Haaland replaces Martial.
Another thing I'm wondering might happen is this:
Rashford_____Greenwood
Bruno
Or
Ronaldo_____Haaland
Bruno

Ronaldo_____Haaland
Bruno
4-4-2.I'm sure Ronnie will be totally fine with the occasional cameo frm the bench
Ronaldo and Haaland up front.
Sancho,Rashford/Greenwood on the wing.
Fernandes into midfield alongside Mctominay.
Haaland doesn't do rotation. Neither does Benzema.
Not to mention, Benzema is coming off of one of his best seasons - performance wise. He's still a marvel. Reports were that Madrid offered a contract till 2024 but he refused himself.
Haaland has more chance of fitting in with United (Ronaldo being 38, toward the end of his game, if Haaland joined) than with Madrid (Benzema being 34 and still at the top of his game).
Well, Perez gave Ramos the boot, too.
The guy is hellbent on forming the nexr Galactiocs, and since Mbappe will come relatively cheap, it is certainly doable from a purely financial pov. Then there will be the Oilacticos from Paris who'll probably throw the Platinum kitchen sink at Raiola to get him as a replacement for Mbappe, and there'll be City who are desperate for some legacy and a No9.
That's going to be some stiff competition for his signing, and beyond that, are even sure you could afford both Ronaldo and Haaland on your payroll?
Ronnie will be in his final year and Pogba and Cavani are leaving. But sure dude, we'll struggle "affording" him
Ronaldo can still easily be Prem's best players for these 2 years, possibly more. He outscored Lukaku in Serie A with an atrocious Juventus team and a manager. He'll also never agree to play Cavani's bench role. Haaland and Ronaldo can link up well... possibly. Or it will fail. But there's more chance of that than Haaland and Mbappe in the same team. Because if Haaland comes to United, he'd be the heir of Ronaldo. If Haaland goes to Madrid, him and Mbappe would share the spotlight which I don't think either of the two want./
Looks like it's Madrid.

Pack it up folks, Sportbible have concluded. Party is over.
Ah yes, I'm sure Diario Madridista has absolutely no ulterior motive for spreading this story...
Sportbible referencing TEAMtalk referencing Dario Madridsta’s blog no less.
Daniel Marland from SportBible said he's off to Madrid so must be true,
Fun while it lasted

We’ll have a bunch of non-playing players off the payroll next year. Mata, Matic, Lingard and Cavani. That should be enough to cover Haaland’s wages.
Probably one of De Gea or Henderson as well.
Raiola asked Chelsea for £820k a week during the summer, on top of 40m in commission to him and 150m transfer fee to Dortmund. It will be the four you mentioned and then some, considering that the transfer fee is halved next summer, so £1m a week is feasible.
We can afford it, yes, but it will carry a lot of financial implications, similar to the Sanchez’s deal. It will depends on Greenwood’s progression and Ronaldo working out or not. Things can change very quickly in a year or two.
Rumoured that they're giving him an £80m signing on fee. That's far from cheap.
This part below proved to me that whoever wrote the article have no idea what they are talking about.
We lost 0-3 at home to Turkey (in March) and drew 1-1 with Netherlands. We still have to play both of them away in the final 4 games. Sure we will probably (*knock on wood) beat Latvia and Montenegro at home. But unless Netherlands cocks it up we won't pass them to guarantee WC qualification (currently both have 13 points, but the dutch have a 9 better GD). And Turkey is 2 points behind, they just have to beat us at home (or draw if we lose in Amsterdam) to beat us to 2nd place.
Even if we manage to retain 2nd place that still means going into a second round of qualifiers against 11 other teams vying for 3 WC spots.
Also every other argument in the posts above me saying this is hearsay of hearsay.
And how Madrid wouldn't need to have a deal in place with Dortmund anyway since there's a buyout clause in place for next summer, Leeds and everyone else technically have a deal in place with Dortmund next summer.
That's still Mbappe for 80m. Yes, that's pretty cheap.
Don't see much wrong with the bolded part? It's saying we're looking to qualify, not that we're going to qualify. We will easily beat Latvia and should take care of Montenegro too. As long as we avoid defeat to Turkey next game we will most likely be in a position where a win in Holland on the final day will mean a group win. I don't see us winning there but with Haaland in decent form there is a chance. Hardly a controversial statement.
Madrid rebuild done in one summer if they managed to add Haaland, Mbappe and Pogba in one window.
Madrid would be Barcelona level 3 years from now if they actually do that. All 3 would be on insane wages unsustainable for any club. At this point, as good as Haaland is, I don't want him. 1 million per week plus gazillion to Raiola and his father at age 20? He's not prime Messi or Ronaldo. Mbappe looks to be the same in terms of demands. Utterly ridiculous. Wage caps should be placed like they are in America. And especially agent fees.
How about Bellingham instead of Haaland? Both would be great to be fair.
I'm not against wage caps and don't know how they do it there. But looking at how City and PSG have been fecking FFP over I seriously doubt that'd be any good here. Rather, it'd make all the good players come to City and PSG I think.
it's no great announcement that Haaland is of high interest to Madrid and could easily see him going there.
I just don't see how they could afford to bring in Haaland for 75m plus wages with a Raiola bonus then bring in both Pogba and Mbappe on frees with their wages along with probably two more big signing bonuses to the players and Raiola. Fat boy is going to make some massive money next summer.
you're talking arguably 150m in fees and probably 1.75m p/w in wages between the three of them after tax....there is no way for them to sustain that especially given how much they are spending to renovate the Bernabeu
