Had to double check that. Holy Shit!

Yeah, perfect opportunity to get the best up and coming young striker on the planet. Screw Lautaro and all others, this guy is a must.

Also with Laporta being good with Raiola i think we will try to get him if he wins the elections.

We sign him and he will be just another Gudjohnsen or Zlatan. Doesnt fit here.

Or bring Mario Gomez back from retirement and play him between Ozzy and Fati. Same thing, will save a ton of money too

Winter signing Erling Haaland (photo) has a release clause in his Borussia Dortmund contract, which can be triggered from 2022 onwards, according to German magazine Sport Bild.


Haaland has an agreement in his contract allowing him to leave the Signal Iduna Park for ?75m, but Standard Sport understands that clause will not kick in until 2022.

:adriano:

2022 makes more sense if you know Raiola has negotiated this clause. It basically push Dortmund to sell him for 100m (I'm sure clubs will be willing to pay that for him) or whatever is the best offer they'll get in 2021 or risk losing him for 30m+ less a year later.

Higher transfer fee - bigger provision for Raiola. Wouldn't really make much sense for Raiola to sell him for "only" 75m because Haaland will probably spend at least 4-5 years in his next club (unless he'll flop there).

Yeah so lets buy a striker that does everything except score lots of goals. Lautaro is def better because of bArCa dNa...

Zlatan was actually good until he fell out with Guardiola.

They prefered 0 over anything at all for Lewa when he went to bayern. Guess we’ll see what happens.

That's actually a very reasonable take, I buy it 100 %.
All because it's none other than Raiola as the agent.

It was the same thing with Paco Alcacer. Failed here but as soon as he moved to Bundesliga and was played in a different type of system he started banging goals.

Haland simply doesn't suit us at all and it's definitely not worth the risk since the board has already spent millions in players that don't fit our system like Coutinho, Griezmann etc..

If Haland doesn't suit us, can you name a few wingers and No9s who fit here?

With this logic, none speedy winger will fit here if we play against parked buses all the time.

So, who are our type of attackers for 2020 onwards?

We have plenty of wingers already in Dembele, Ansu Fati, Trincao, (Messi?). What more do you want?

What difference does Haland make as #9 if we play against parked buses all the time? The only benefits Haland brings to the table is that he's tall, physical, decent header, and has great sense of positioning but either way it doesn't mean anything against a parked bus if all our other forwards are 170-185cm tall.
If you look at Haland play you can see that he's not very technical player and can't take part in playmaking and so. He's just going to waste time on the pitch and touch the ball couple times every 10 minutes which doesn't benefit us at all. He's very much like Mario Gomez or Jonathan Soriano type of player and it's just a waste.

Unless you want to change our entire playing philosophy and system which is going affect every other players role on the pitch just for the sake of one 19 year old striker.

Dembele is the dumbest player ever.
Horrible professionalism, forever injured, horrible decision's making.
So, one big no.

Ansu played like 5 matches in his career and is not that fast.
So, I won't hold my breath.

Trincao hasn't yet kicked the ball and is also slowish.

Messi is almost on a grandpa level and is not a winger anymore.

About changing our philosophy, Barca's/Pep's/Spanish style stopped working in Europe and there aren't any indications that it will start working again.

So, the only options are:
1) stick to our style without changes and get himiliated over and over
2) eventually move towards modern, faster, more direct football from Bayern and Liverpool

Also, the system and players which work well against Getafe (parked buses) don't work at all in Europe against teams who plays faster, athletic football.
