Haaland Madrid claim shut down in hours

Can only imagine how smug he must have felt before this came out and now its just embarrassment all round, proper self inflicted mess
 
There was never enough evidence for this to be treated as anything more than a rumour, and the public denial makes that clear. Madrid remain Madrid, they will always be linked with the biggest names, but this one was always floating on air and now it has burst and everyone looks silly for pretending otherwise, honestly what a shambles, you do not get to just invent certainty because it sounds good in a campaign and then act shocked when the player camp says no and the whole thing falls apart
 
This is why I cant take election season in football seriously anymore because every time someone wants votes they start throwing out the biggest names imaginable and the fans just lap it up for a week and then reality hits and the whole thing collapses, Haaland is at City and has every reason to stay put for now, the idea that he was secretly agreed to join Madrid just because a candidate needed a headline is honestly one of the most ridiculous things ive seen in ages and now everyone involved looks like theyve been mugged off by their own hype
 
It was always going to need a denial or a confirmation to mean anything. The denial has arrived, so the story is basically dead.
 
On paper this was always a dangerous thing to use as a campaign point because if it fell apart you would look reckless, and that is exactly what has happened. Madrid’s pull is real, but you still need something concrete before you start acting like a deal exists and now it has turned into a complete mess and honestly the whole thing is a joke and everyone who bought into it deserves to feel a bit daft because it was never that simple
 
Nah I dont buy the whole he was dumb thing because these stories usually get some sort of oxygen from somewhere and people only act shocked when the denial comes out, it was never just one bloke making it up out of thin air
 
If you look at it purely from a football angle this made no sense anyway because Madrid already have issues fitting elite attackers into the same side and a move like this would only make the squad building even harder, so the whole thing felt like election noise from the start and now the denial just confirms it was all smoke
