Prem league great!!
Very sad to hear. Injuries really hampered him so much but he was joy to wathc everytime when playing. He is 32 so maybe getting to warmer climate and different style to play will let him shine again. I am sure he will find good spot.
.....Also this move must mean striker and Haaland talks are continuing well.
Out of 34 games Jesus was available, he spent 4 games on the bench. Or 69.8 minutes per game. In 16 games he played full 90 minutes. In 7 games he was used as a substitute.Equally, it wouldn’t be a surprise at all if they signed no CF this summer the way the teams evolved to play without one. No coincidence Jesus has spent the majority of the year on the bench.
Thats bern Augero’s biggest problem since returning from injury. The team is not the one he was playing in pre-injury and he looks totally lost and no longer fits as they are now attuned to not playing with an out-and-out #9.
I would have Haaland ending up at City. Just not necessarily this summer given the current evolution thats working so well for Guardiola.

Could be, Jesus played few games on the wing as well. Looks like Pep is bringing back false 9.11 games on the bench then. Less than I thought but still nigh on a third.
Plays into a big shift in style at City this year to playkng without an out-and-out number 9.

Can’t see it tbh. And doesn’t sound like or go with City transfer strategy over the years.

Can see Haaland staying a year like Ducker says as City don’t wanna deal with a stubborn Dortmund and Riola who will likely want a release clause in again. And I can’t see City spending 80£m on Grealish and then another 50£m on Mendes. I can see City going for alternative STR like Lataro Martinez who is on the list with Lukaku and Kane.All stories indicate they'll go all in this summer, and smash records to set up the team for the next generation in the cycle and get a step ahead... Gonna be fun

You're stating that Dortmund is stubborn, but Inter and Tottenham won't be? Either way, for these top strikers, it will be an extremely difficult market. Also, isn't Messi still part of the equation? OR did he sign a new contract?Can see Haaland staying a year like Ducker says as City don’t wanna deal with a stubborn Dortmund and Riola who will likely want a release clause in again.

Martinez contract expires next summer so could be an easy and cheaper option. Barca were quoted 70/80m last summer. I really can’t see any 100m 100m+ signings this summer.You're stating that Dortmund is stubborn, but Inter and Tottenham won't be?

This is where scouting and coaching come into play. Find or produce the next Haaland. Same reason united walked away from Sancho and rightly so this summer. The fees are astronomical in today's climate.If reports out of Spain about the meetings with Madrid and Barca today are true about what Riola and his farther and Haaland want then no clubs paying that. Plus his transfer fee on top!
