Looks like City are going to sign Haaland.

Laca saying he’s talking to other clubs because he wants to play in the CL.
Well maybe if you tried scoring more than once a season you’d be doing that at Arsenal next season, you utter berk.
Well judging from the shit he’s served up this season, what makes him think he’s even good enough to play in the CL?
Worst Arsenal striker in a long time.
Aye, I did think that. I don't think the top teams will be queuing up for him given his record this year.
He can't even finish his dinner. His hold up play has regressed too. Apart from a bunch of French clubs, I wonder what CL clubs would even want him?Originally Posted by Letters
Despite that I thought Auba was finished and he has flourished at Barca, looks back to his best.
Lacazette is decent holding midfielder, but he certainly ain't a striker!
Gabriel Jesus links from reliable sources in the last couple of days:

Celebrated his imminent move by scoring four goals today.
Would be a good option if he was coming in addition to a more prolific goalscorer. Can play in all forward positions, presses really well and fits the profile of what Arteta wants. No language or settling in issues either and already has a relationship with Arteta.
Most importantly, it's another Gabriel to add to the collection.
i would be happy with this and another striker. I think he has big potential and would be the star man upfront so to speak of here.
Looking at the CFs we’ve made confirmed enquiries or bids for over the last year - Abraham, Vlahovic, Isak - there’s clear similarities there: 6’3 / 6’4, strong enough to hold the ball up and then quick and mobile enough to turn and get in the box, enough presence to occupy and pin a couple of CBs… I would guess we’ll be going after something very similar again this summer for our starting CF.
I really like the look of Jesus and agree he’d be a good choice for forward #2 (especially at sub-30m if that’s legit?), who’s role should be a bit more multi-purpose. Put him on the list.
I also really like the look of Cody Gakpo at PSV for that role - he’s another big lad (6’2, I think) and that kind of presence is something that I feel our forward line really lacks. I think I’m leaning towards that - bring in a couple of forwards who add some serious physical presence who are technical, but who can also simply overpower and opponent when the technical stuff isn’t coming off.

Although am I doing Jesus a disservice here? Is he actually a genuine candidate for starting CF? It’s hard to get an exact picture of what he is with the way City play and rotate and switch players around.
My preference is for someone with a bit of raw physical presence, but if he can hold the ball up and then turn and get in the box, and if he can press, dribble and finish in a variety of ways, then why not?
