Willing to take a pay-cut apparently (though given he's on £325k/week, he'd presumably need about a 50% cut to come here)

at least

I’m a bit disappointed about this, I would’ve liked him to stick around but whatever is best for his development is best for us I suppose 

 

 

It's right for him to play regularly at the top level for his development. It also might signal we're going to make another attacking signing possibly.

Omorodion wouldn't make sense unless Duran is leaving, and even then would be difficult to bring him in as second choice. Pretty sure thirty million is way below what Atlético would want for him too, I think they already turned down bigger offers for him than that. I say could a swap with Duran work.

[Delphinho123]

Rather keep Duran. 

[Wes]

Maybe they saw Onana score from the corner and thought we don't need a playmaking second striker, we just need another 6'4" lad in the mixer.

They agreed to a £35m deal with Chelsea before that fell through.

Any relation to Ian Omorodion?

My man city buddy is convinced he’ll end up there.

Apparently the source for Omorodion is quite reliable, maybe just something we're looking into in case Duran still leaves, I know Emery has been saying kind words, but he did the same in January, he knows what to say to motivate player and not make it look like we're desperate to sell, if someone came in with a suitable offer I think we would still let Duran leave

Was there credible link to City?  I've not seen any.  I suppose they have a vacancy for a Haaland backup.

PHEW! Piss off Chelsea.

 

 

By "monitoring the Raheem Sterling situation" what they mean is we have a bloke keeping an eye on the road up to Bodymoor Heath ready to lock the gates and turn out the lights so we can pretend no-one is home if he is seen approaching.

It's a BS link. Signing a young out and out striker when we're keeping Duran is a non runner.

No. I don’t think there was ever anything outside of some randos on Twitter saying something.

To play absolutely no football behind Haaland.

One of two reasons. Either he believes everything he reads on the internet or he was just trolling since it was right after the West Ham game.

[Jas10]

Seems like a bargain… mentioned by a few as a good option for us.
