Sorry , I've just noticed the agent wants €5 million more. I should've known!!
Scratch what I said on Odegaard - apparently his contract WAS until 2021 but was extended until 2023 just before the Real Sociedad move.
Breaking
Haaland's agent been spotted going into st patrick's athletic's ground for talks.
It's all a bit reminiscent of Hazard "having his choice of club" before he went to Chelsea. Albeit magnified somewhat.
I do take extra pleasure from the careers of these lads falling off a cliff in such circumstances.
All this media/agent fuss has put me right off the idea of Haaland in some ways. Just want us to find "another" Jota/Mane type. In the door, no fuss, no drama, contribute.
We need 6 good players in the forward positions, plus need to consider weaning one of the older members of the "three" out and Firmino/Mane/Salah/Jota is a bloody good start in that department.
Shaqiri+Origi (in terms of appearances) can be replaced by one player to make the "fifth" (ideally Jota sort of level, slowly wean Firmino into less games) and then you have a sixth spot that will be taken up by Minamino (or Minamino's replacement) or Elliott. I'd probably want to have a body in there so that Elliott could go on loan and develop for another year, but we really aren't a million miles away from being in a good spot for the forward positions.
That got a bit long-winded (quelle surprise, it's me) - but a bit early yet for a Your-Squad-Structure-for-21/22 thread just yet.
I am a huge fan of Haaland the player Sid and he was the one id have signed.
The way his gang have gone about business I dont want him he could ruin the dressing room no player is worth that hassle.
