Snubbles

Think we may have learnt our lesson dealing with Raiola.

 

[drd23]

Nicolo Schira: Dortmund paid 30M for Håland's sporting rights (20M release clause + 10M to his father) and a 15M commission fee to Raiola. Haland will earn 6M net salary for the first 2 years, with a wage rise to 8M yearly and a release clause starting with the third year of contract.

Why did his dad get a fee? I thought 3rd party ownership was illegal now?

Probably for the best that he snubbed United. At such a low price he would've spoiled Woodward's ten year strategic plan of spunking hundreds of millions of pounds up the wall and reducing Ferguson's 27 year empire to rubble.

...at Bayern.

Amazing how far we have advanced as society since 2010, yet some people can’t even find a new/original joke to tell

At this stage Haaland is raw but he is already such a natural goalscorer. 19 years of age, 28 goals in 22 appearances this season, including scoring in 5 consecutive CL games - it's inevitable he'll be a great signing for BVB. Will be interesting to see how they reshuffle now. Their current front 5 (in a 3-4-3) looks something like:

Sancho-Reus-Hazard
----Brandt-Weigl-----

Subs: Witsel, Dahoud, Gotze, Guerriero, Alacer, etc

Haaland coming in at CF means Reus will be shuffled out to one of the flanks. Does Sancho stay until the end of the season, or does he leave in January? If he stays, their depth is looking pretty amazing for the next 6 months.

Sancho-Haaland-Reus
-----Brandt-Weigl-----

Subs: Witsel, Dahoud, Gotze, Hazard, Guerriero, Alacer, etc

This will be an interesting juggling act for Favre. Whilst Reus is our captain and should be starting most matches - Hazard has probably been our most dangerous of late. But then you can’t ignore the amazing link-up that Reus and Sancho have developed

The good thing is there’s currently plenty of games to go around. Sancho is definitely off on the summer but I can’t see him leaving before. Atlético are also after Paco but letting him go would be dumb

I think Götze, Bruun-Larsen, Dahoud and potentially Weigl will leave between now and next season

What's Gotze like nowadays, is he any good?

When played deeper he’s brilliant still. Not as mobile as he was as a teenager but very good eye for passing, picking up the ball deep and carrying forward etc. pity he only sees limited minutes for us as a backup striker.

Reckon he’d be a good fit at Hertha under Klinsmann. One of my favourite players at the club and would be just happy to see him succeed again

You asked the question, though.

On The Ball | Man United mean business refusing Raiola over Haaland

Manchester United walk away from Erling Haaland transfer after agent Mino Raiola’s demands prove too much for Old Trafford club.

Some talk about PEA and putting in a transfer request.

in all seriousness they’d reject the request surely. Would be bottom 3 without him.

They only need one striker so they’d still have lacazette. Wouldn’t have to shoehorn both into the first 11 like they currently do. They should then spend every single penny on new central defenders

From what I’ve seen Lacazette has been playing centrally of late so would it matter?

nah think they need CM’s. Even more than we do. Xhaka and the French poodle.

 

[glenferry23]

Lacazette is an inferior option to PEA but at least can play centrally in the short term. Arsenal should be looking towards building a forward set up around the likes of Pepe, Martinelli, Saka etc.

Aubameyang is not a long term player for Arsenal and I wouldn’t have thought he’d be too keen on a rebuild occurring around him. He’s in his prime still, excellent goal scoring record and would be able to land that one final huge contract elsewhere and genuinely compete for trophies.

Would still command a decent fee. And if that’s put towards investing in some glaring areas of the squad, it’s not as bad as it seems on face value.

Gee those Arsenal captains sure love their transfer requests.

It's been a poisoned chalice hasn't it. Gallas, Fabregas, RVP, Koscielny all had unhappy exits and looks like it could be the same for Xhaka and PEA

Hope Mustafi is named captain next.

I don't know how Rojo has pulled this off...

Lacazette has been shit this season

Could see Woody splashing the cash for Auba. Would be a good back up to Mason Greenwood.
