Rumours United have agreed a fee for Haaland £76m plus £150K per week wages

Credible rumours?

[Norbs]

No, incredible rumours

I just don’t see him as being the player they need right now.

He looks like a poacher, a big, raw, work horse type forward without the technical ability. Lukaku didn’t make the grade with a similar skill set but with years of prem experience because they didn’t play to his strengths... and nothing has changed.

He’ll cost a fortune too.

Still, Ole’s at the wheel and he’s not put a foot wrong..!

Yes he does but apparently he wants an enormous signing on fee, inflated wages and his agent wants a huge brokerage for pushing the player towards United

This is similar to the De Ligt deal, he had a clause but Juventus ended up smashing that by having to pay agents fees to Raiola

[Lecter]

Raiola got £11m in fees for doing the De Ligt deal and apparently wants £20m fees for the Haaland deal

I have probably said this before but I think UEFA/FIFA should legislate to prevent agents taking such huge fees it should be limited to a small % of any deal 1% or 2% max and any additional fees should not be born by the clubs

The only thing this might do is push the players wages demands up as they will always try and find a way to get their pound of flesh

[S-RED]

They obviously have a clear vision there... get rid of a lump like lukaku (albeit a lump that is proven at this level), as he did not fit the intended style & 5 months later replace him with a lump, but unproved............

OLE, OLE, OLE !!!!

[Norbs]

It's clearly a Norwegian link up

[Lecter]

Its quire surprising they have persisted with Ole

He looks massively out of his depth to me

[gratziani]

They were saying he has a 50% win rate under him as if that solves everything

The money spent and they lack so much still.

There is a massive element of lets "hold" where we are at OT at the moment. Money is still rolling in despite lack of champions league.

Ole gives them a degree of time to try and work out what to do, hence little action. I'm. hearing scary numbers on infrastructure at OT, Training ground and associated offices to bring them up to satisfactory standards.
Rumour has it the changing rooms hav been infested with rodents (right next to railway line also) and given players eat after games etc, it pretty full on.

There is a serious lack of investment/interest from the owners, and its not going to change soon.

Won't ask you to divulge your sources but it's heartening to hear them going through so much crap. And therefore having to settle with mediocrity for the medium term. About time.

That place has always suffered from being infested with vermin
