Erling Haaland

[serghei]

When someone is a superstar, comes in as a superstar, and gets paid the highest wage in the team (or even worse substantially higher than the 2nd)
he has a certain status, authority, and power in the dressing room.
And that means (more often than not) that the team has to adjust to his wishes and needs, rather than the other way around.

Messi wanted to drop as fuck'n deep as he wanted to touch the ball, and the ball always to pas through him.
It was his desire that completely fucked up our way of playing.

Haaland will have other desires that might as well fuck up the functionality of our way of playing.



That's the antiquated logic Laporta is after

Sorry, we are in 2022

Generally true, but Lewandowski is a superstar for example, and also a team player who listens to the manager. Not all superstars are undisciplined. Some are true professionals and do what they are asked to do.

Xavi is similar to Pep. We all saw how Pep handled Ibrahimovic. With Messi he found a way for it to work brilliantly for the team.

Barca get better with Haaland.

Teams get worse when give up elements of game that is too much to cover and that doesnt come with Haaland.

Real are not getting worse because they get Mbappe and Barca dont get worse if get Haaland.

I think we might get, and I have explained why.

The problem is that the 'wait and see' approach is too risky...
Every other player we can replace (if they fail) within 1-2 years.
But with this kind of mega-deal, if it goes wrong, it totally dooms us

Depends on what type of mega-deal we're dealing with here. But yeah, it's a risk for sure. I'd prefer smart reasonable signings like Liverpool is doing with Salah, Mane, Jota, Luis Diaz.

Not really. He is coming with only 75mil. He will be movable even if he busts.

I don't mean the transfer fee or commissions, or not even selling him

He is 'too big to fail' of a signing.
Laporta is dreaming of an era marked by him.
Imagine we find out after a while he is a new Ibra in terms of fit.
How can the club recover from such a failure?
Very hard

You wouldnt sign Haaland if had option?

 

[Birdy]

You wouldnt sign Haaland if had option?

I would only if I was 100% convinced he would fit in, and cover needs the team cannot.
Like when Liverpool signed VVD or when they signed Alisson

Only this way,
other that that it's too risky IMO

Do you think Barca should sign him and think he fits?

 

[iniestaGOAT]

Fuck you Haaland dont pick barcelona you oaf

 

[Givenchy]

We won't get him, we'll end up with Morata.. quote me on it

It's most likely Lieporta (remember Messi?) putting out stories of grandeur.

In all honesty it's a shame Auba isn't younger as I'm enjoying the current team

🗣[ @JanAageFjortoft🥇] | At the moment for Haaland it?s down to two clubs, Man City and Real Madrid. I do not know what will happen with Barcelona, ​​but right now these two clubs are ahead of them. #fcblive

 

[Vladinho]

If Real get Mbappe and Erling, we'd better invest heavily in the defense

 

[RF20]

Fuck you Haaland dont pick barcelona you oaf

Wtf bro?

Why are you so firmly against him coming to Barca?

Can't be THAT bad a prospect surely??

But we have a plan how to deal with his injuries

 

[JamDav1982]

Too much talk from Barca media and hints from Xavi/Laporta make it all feel like some game to get Haaland more money from Real.

Raiola plays clubs off one another all the time.
