Erling Haaland

Good relations, yes, but why would we want to spread the payments? Even if we haven't got the cash in the safe, we'll have a facility to borrow it just like every other club.

Nearly all transfers are paid in installments over time, very few are ever paid in total upfront. When psg paid for Neymar, the most high profile one that was paid in its entirety, it ruined them for the next several transfer windows, they were restricted to loans and freebies. I'm not going to go through specific scenarios of why we might want to stagger it because none of us have a clue what we are planning on doing in the market over the summer or next few seasons or how the cash flow forecasts are looking, nor can I be bothered to look at the latest financial statements to see current figures. just know there's an abundance of accounting reasons why we might favour that approach even if its cheaper to pay his release clause.

Better than Barry Conlan
That's for sure

But not as good as Barry Silkman.

Gonna be a lot of happy Blues when they log in come the morning....

Are most of us on here now in the Western Hemisphere?

 

[Citizen Green]

Hopefully we’ll get some more stories along the same lines from other reputable City journalists tomorrow.

Remember him 78/79

Not happening unless talkshite break it through snot filled sentences and sky sports news announce it with black armbands on and the BBC sport app run a story about the tiddlywinks championship in outer mongolia.

Then I'll believe it.

Mr Jordan will be having a meltdown.

He is going to be immense lining up with other imminent signings like Sanchez, Messi, and Kane.

He really was shite.

Don't you just love popping on here for quick read before going to bed. Wow, it's actually happening, isn't it!?

Its enough to make you go to bed with an erection.

 

[Barcon]

Powerful image. Says to me ‘I should be considered a stain on your career.’

At the moment Haalings a stain on my boxers.

You’re doing the same as @AlanBalls by keep moving the goalpost and no report will be enough. Take a lot at what’s come out, it’s enough

Who the fuck do you think you are, Mary Hopkins. ;)

 

[Barcon]

Who the fuck do you thing you are, Mary Hopkins. ;)

Haha. I used to babysit her.

It’ll be interesting to see if we move to kill the £500k per week story which is obviously bollocks. If we don’t, and considering our lack of action regarding other transfers, we can only assume the club like being reported this way. ‘Only going for the money’ grates as fans, but from a business point of view it obviously helps to have that reputation when you want to attract the best.

 

[birchwoodgingerste]

I don't get the hype and the only way this signing is going to happen is if Pep leaves.

Hmm

Hey what you coming at me for?!

I’m excited like everyone else.

I’ll go have a beer tug over it once I see a pic with Txiki.
