Erling Haaland

[paulchapo]

She's lying

 

[DMA's]

It's not done yet, but I have seen some snippets of documentation regarding insurance premiums and the agreed terms at the Haaland end a few weeks back.

Gotta trust the process.

Which is what jacks article also alluded to. It’s not done just we are ready to sign off on the deal once haaland gives us the nod. It’s looking very positive but need mbappe to join Madrid first.

Thanks for the info as always

I don't want to be a killjoy, and whilst Rick has not put it actually in the the forums T&C's, I think the long standing No1 rule, that has served us well, should be adhered to.

What is the general process from here mate?

Agreed terms at the players end.

Then what are the likely next steps that need to be completed before a signature is obtained?

House shopping in Openshaw.

If you want to unsettle half the City team then buy him. Bernardo, KdB to mention just two will probably not be happy to see someone like this earning the kind of wages he is reportedly demanding.

You seem upset?

Players signs there contracts they are happy with that contract! we ain’t the scum with whinging moaning cheating players.

 

[waspish]

He's not even signed but the bitterness from the scouse twats and rag bastards on that Mail article is ridiculously strong. Would love this to get done to send those two sets of horrible wank supporters in to complete meltdown

Haha I laugh at it now with there bingo claptrap!

Unlike the majority of city fans when Liverpool bought Diaz in January and then seeing him play say they got a cracking player there for the fee, likewise with Jota. Clubs have bitter fans but think we have less.

 

[Sky Blue]

My cock!

Hi Ron.

 

[billymumphrey]

As much as these stories look promising, I still think convincing Bernardo to re-sign is the bigger priority.

If signing Haaland meant Silva left, then I'd prefer we kept Silva.

He has said yes, that was a few weeks back, but a signing of this magnitude has a lot of moving parts that are rarely straight forward.

But the 2 don’t relate to each other? Bernardo will stay because he’s happy to. Haaland signing has nothing to do with Bernardo.

 

[Mid Wales blue]

If that 100m is true I think we have made a great deal. The buyout figure is 68m if I remember correctly and I read sonewhere that his agent and father were looking for another 45m. No doubt young Haaland is expecting a sizeable signing bonus so 100m represents a significant saving from those numbers.

A bargain.

We aren’t the scum because we have always stuck to our pay structure and walked away if the money isn’t right . I’m not saying that it will create problems but it could .

 

[Centurions]

I just can't get overly excited about it for whatever reason. I hope he proves me wrong and turns out to be a brilliant signing though.. if the rumors are true, of course.

Have you checked that you're not dead? That's the only reason I can think of, not to be excited by this.

 

[SWP's back]

He, along with Mbappe, is the hot property in the world and moving on a much reduced fee (compared to his market value), they will fully understand whatever wage he is offered. He has 25 in 23 CL games and 90 in 89 German league games. No one comes close to those numbers at 21.

Honestly, some people just love a fucking moan.

The required steps are patience.

City won't want to disrupt the run-in, Haaland will want to be respectful to Dortmund.

Unless Dortmund want to stick it to City by cursing our moves behind the scenes, I expect lots of counter rumours for a while yet.

Once Mbappe is confirmed, then we can start to see the finish line and we can blow the bloody doors off.

"It could be the start of a dynasty" said Tyler (or Quinn) after the QPR match. Maybe this is a step towards it. But being the kind of FOC whose first idea of a striker was Joe Hayes I'm still uneasy with City planning world domination and i feel bad for Palmer, Delap and others coming through the ranks, their future in the first team will be less likely if Haaland arrives.

What are you on about. Have you forgotten we are attempting to replace one of the best forwards the league has ever seen and that means trying to land a very big fish. If Delap and Palmer continue to improve they will get their chance regardless.

Some players have aways got paid more than others, usually strikers get more than midfielders, midfielders more than defenders. We aren't run by fools, if the money hadn't been right then we would have walked away.

 

[jimharri]

Surprising the amount of glass half empty types we have re. this potential signing. Ah well; it's all about opinions, I guess.
