Educated? Educated about what? You are essentially telling me that the only reason Haaland has a buyout clause in his contract with City is because he wants to come to Madrid eventually, City is just a spring board for the next couple of years, and now he knows Mbappe is not coming so he will definitely say yes whenever Madrid triggers it. A very big claim. So I got educated about your personal belief and theory? OK.
We are stuck with Lewandowski in the sense that we have to pay his wages for the duration of his contract, whether it is 3+1 or 4 years, but that doesn't mean he will be playing most minutes as the CF in the next 3 or 4 years. As he gets older and becomes less effective, he will have less minutes and it is natural and not unimaginable at all that the club will be looking for new and younger CF in a couple of years. And you think Haaland or any high caliber CF would shun Barcelona simply because of a 36, 37 year-old Lewandowski is still playing? I don't think so. Of course, I said it already, I don't believe Haaland or Mbappe will come because we won't be able to afford the cost.

What about Aguero, Suarez, Mane, Ibrahimovic, Lewandowski, Dembele...
Google each of them and you will see Marca cover with them saying FICHADO.

Educated about terms of Haaland agreement and why it was signed they way it was signed and at that time.
Not a springboard, just a stepping stone if terms are as reported. He went there to maybe win something while working with Pep and I imagine probably to make dad happy, but never seemed overly fussed and move to City was never on cards until it became clear Benzema is staying and Real also need to pay for Mbappe in same window.
Hardly a big claim, just a logical continuation of what we already knew. If wins treble maybe he stays who knows. More likely he'll be keen on moving to make the Mbappe rivalry happen eventually as both are gonna start getting too old otherwise and I doubt he'd want to pass that up.
Don't think he's that big on English league. Pretty sure also news from his camp was he prefers Spain as league style will help him stay healthier.
Oh totally most forwards will shun Barca or Madrid if an established veteran of any age that keeps scoring sufficiently (15+ per season) and has a contract that cant be moved/club dont want to cut short (i.e. Benzema) is already there.
Lewandowski not too likely to dial down considering his fitness unless gets hurt more over time and will be keen to keep going as has enough to prove outside Germany.
Not likely to become less effective as strikers can play till quite old even when not taking care of themselves as much as he is (i.e. Inzaghi, Quagliarella, Shearer).

Guess I saw a different match. He was linking up well with the frontline. Some time and they will be clicking.

Genuinely astonished at the total lack of involvement in buildup play.
Didn't even do one good lay off. Zero percent participation in the gameplay.

He was much better vs. Bayern but then again Nagelsmann's tactics are suicidal. Still think he'll start off well though.

Been saying for a while he has big problems in that area of his game. He's closer to Lukaku than Aguero in that respect.
