Haaland? Come on, let us have that one! Could you imagine the money to be made if y'all got Haaland and we got Mbappe?!?! WOW.
I'm not sure we'll pay the transfer fee that Dortmund wants, but he would be my preference over Kane. I wouldn't mind finding someone on a much lower fee, and letting them groom Torres for the future.

Kane wants to come to City but he is too old, too expensive, and too injury prone. City have an 18 year old kid in the wings, Liam Delap, (27 goals in 23 games at U-23 level). He is training with the first team and should make his debut next season. This has certainly helped him in his maturation process as he got red carded a couple of times and a number of yellows. Only had one yellow in the latter part of the season. Also Cole Palmer is training with the first team. Remember these names guys.

I forgot about Delap. I have read some good things about him. Kane would not be my preference, but I have a feeling we might wind up with him and lose Jesus to Tottenham as part of the deal.

I do need to pay a bit more attention to the academy.

I'm thinking Haaland might stay in Germany now that Dortmund made the CL . Don't think the Spanish teams have the resources to pay him. Could be the EPL but I'm thinking one more year at Dortmund.

This Sunday is going to be an amazing day in the EPL. Chelsea, Liverpool and Leicester are one point apart. As a Chelsea fan, I think Chelsea's beating AVL is almost more important than the CL final on the 29th.

I could definitely see him staying with Dortmund for another year. His transfer fee should drop significantly next summer. It would also give other teams another year to evaluate him.

Either way, by July 2022, he will be a very rich young man.

Also, I hope the rest of the squad is more concerned with Aston Villa than the Champions League final. :sneaky:

Grew up watching the Montreal Canadiens on my Dad's knee.

And I became a huge Expos fan after the team was formed...

It wasn't until our family moved to Toronto, in my early teens, that we got cable, and I was introduced to the almost magical electricity and energy of "US College Football"...

My favorite team quickly became the Crimson Tide, owing in no small part to the storied nature of the program.

As had been the case with the Montreal Canadiens and their rich history...

Even in my late teens, in the late '70's, if I had to choose between going to the park with the cute girl around the corner, or watching Keith Jackson call an Alabama football game, there was, effectively, no choice to be made...

I vividly remember watching "The Goal Line Stand" with my best buddy, who helped nurture my interest in US college football. Sensing even then that I may have been witnessing history...

I had a Sports Illustrated cover of Coach Bryant in my law school dorm room in the '80's...

And recall impatiently waiting for the Street & Smith college football edition to come out in late Summer...

Lost both my Dad and my best buddy last year, which may help explain why I was inspired to write such a lengthy post in reply to this great thread...

I haven't had an interest in pro sports for decades, and have become a deeply passionate Alabama football fan over the years.

And I wouldn't have it any other way...
