Not been on here for a while so this might have been covered but in my opinion, this Haaland circus can stay away from our club. What a farce!

Who ever he signs for this summer, he'll be hawked around to potential buyers again in 2 years time.
As good as he is, he'll be a journeyman, much like Zlatan.

{Ed077's Note - and he is going to cost HUGE money, both transfer fee and wages as well as extortionate agent fees

The chance to buy Haaland was last year. That boat has well and truly sailed. United will be linked with Haaland, Kane, Sancho again I'm sure. None of those will play for United. I can see us being interested in a Premiership-proven Calvert-Lewin perhaps but if Everton start looking at north of £60m for him that won't happen either lol.

He is a very good goalscorer, none can deny it. But i am not convinced with his all round game . For a total cost of 150+ millions I wouldn't touch him . He is a better version of Lukaku nothing more.

{Ed077's Note - circa 600k weekly wages too. Absurd numbers, truly absurd.

I agree 077. The total cost is huge and (for me) well above his worth. He is a good goalscorer, not a truly special player like Messi Ronaldo Neymar Empampe.

It's a real shame they didn't grab him last year. Frustrating, too, as it feels like a technicality got in the way (release clause? ) . Although if an agent/ player are already looking at how much they can leave for before they've signed it's maybe not a great sign!

I wonder if it will be another season dominated by loans and out of contract signings. Our last two strikers have fallen into these categories with moderate success. Ighalo was useful at the start but Cavani's signing nullified it. I think a one year extension for Cavani still seems the most likely outcome which wouldn't be ideal due to his age but could be worse. Haaland will be in Manchester too, sadly not in the right half but it will be great to be able to see him in the Prem.

600k is nonsense.

A better version of Lukaku probably sums up every striker in world football, apart from Jason Lee.
Haaland is exceptional and some team is going to get a dozen years out of him. His goals will have paid off half the fee by then. Mind you, it's likely he'll change clubs a few more times in his career yet with obligatory stints in the Prem/ Spain/ Italy before winding off back at Dortmund.

Is he that good? Serious question.

Not MoTD Fever but I'd sooner go with Mason.

Sancho would add options on RW LW

Seems a complete non starter with the wages involved.

I could see Haaland to Madrid and Ronaldo back for a season being something.

For me no Utd Road. As i said a better version of Lukaku. I mean not good all round play, not a close control, not good at hold up play but a good goalscorer.
A player that doesn't make his mates and his team better overall but he finds a way to score in most games.
These players for me don't deserve the 150 million price tag. If Mason grow a little bit more i would go with him.

Haaland is an above average striker with an excellent goal return. We need someone of his ability. Cavani is not working out for us. I agree Greenwood should be able to fulfill the striker position but we do urgently need another productive striker if we are going to challenge for the title. An alternative might be Lacazette if he is available at the end of the season.

I’d love to have seen the posts about Ruud if this site was around lol. Haaland is absolute class lads, it shows by the clubs who want him. I don’t think we’ve any chance personally, but the hardest thing in football is scoring and he makes it look simple.

{Ed077's Note - I wouldnt allow people to criticize Ruud lol. Bin them all lol;-)}
