Erling Haaland

My point still stands about Leeds but looking at the criteria from the FA rules it seems he would gain eligibility through education.


d) He has engaged in a minimum of five years education under the age of 18 within the territory of the relevant association.

I always look at Gareth Bale and think what a sliding door moment it was when we turned him down in a cash and player swap deal for Stuey Downing. 🤣 🤣 🤣

Villa wanted to swap + cash Jack Grealish for Jordan Rhodes in 2007.

Spurs bid for downing beats that

We wanted Money plus bale

Spurs are said to have offered fringe players Hossam Ghaly, Gilberto and Adel Taarabt as part of a players-plus-cash move for the England winger, but Boro have their eye on Bale if they are to finally cash in on their skipper.

Tottenham have long admired 24-year-old Downing and White Hart Lane boss Harry Redknapp is keen to strengthen his options on the left wing.

I read in the Gazette that we tried to sign him when he was 17. I wonder what he would be doing now if we had managed 🤣
He would have ended up at Girona after most of us didn't rate him much and he was played out on the wing, then would mock Barcelona when they bought him.
