Erling Haaland

In other news, water is widely considered to be wet

 

[Bald fraud]

Announce it an hour before the scousers play please city!

 

[Tom Connolly]

announcement today would be class but i doubt it. city always find a way of dragging these things out and killing a bit of the hype for the actual announcement don’t they hahaha

 

[Coatigan]

Just announce it today, we have suffered long enough

I haven't!

 

[Sir Joe Aguero]

I want him coming out at half time like he’s the Undertaker.

It's close, Rag Cafe have confirmed it.

Something about this HUGE transfer feels very flat, not sure if its the prolonged envitability of it all or just the fact its a soulless oil club taking him, it just doesn’t have the same impact as a Chelsea, Liverpool, Madrid, Barcelona signing, very weird.

Imagine the City fans are creaming themselves but there’s just something flat about it, maybe its too obvious.

Don’t rate him as high as other people. I just don’t see it with him so I’m glad he is not eating our whole budget. The guy has huge flaws in his game. Powerful, Good finisher yes but his all round is sorely lacking. Kane is twice the player albeit older. He would have been another big money disaster for us. City are making a mistake not going on for Kane. Haaland doesn’t have the vision and technical ability of Kane nor have ample space to run into like in bundesliga. Pep’s Ibra at city and city’s lukaku. One was better than Haaland, the other less but this transfer reeks the same to me. Mark my words. A mismatch and misfit. So sure of that.

have to imagine the "announced in the next days" would be on the BVB end. No way would City want to announce a transfer in the last week of the season, especially our biggest signing in 10 years. I'm sure from a marketing perspective we'd have like to have waited until June or even early July!

 

[J.G.Blue.]

It does all look quite interesting & this Haaland lad does seem quite good but to be honest I usually reserve judgment until Paul Merson has had his say, any news on Pauls thoughts?

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

Since it’s pretty much nailed on he’s coming we reckon he can break Aguero’s record of 260 goals? Genuinely think there’s a massive chance

This is a bit Raggish 'n Dipperish. The rags were always looking at a double before they'd won the first 'un, and the DipperDiaspora were bleating on about a quadruple after they'd just got one on the mantlepiece! I await E's first goal, and the first hat-trick before I start looking for him to tipple Dixie off his throne!

Hes said its a lot of money but a triffic player, blown out the water, asked where the nearest toilet is and please can he have another Guinness

At this point, waiting too long for an announcement would only lessen the impact, whereas you can still capitalize with a welcoming marketing campaign even if it’s not about the “announcement” per se

 

[Gogootz]

Do Dortmund have to announce transfers? Dortmund didn't announce the gundo transfer - he did it himself with a tweet to city out of nowhere iirc

I couldn’t agree more, yet Haaland is a better option in the long run as he is younger and can learn and adapt easier.

Yeah, let's get the season over with. No point in drawing attention towards our present throng of goalscorers, and inviting the hyenas in the press pack to start scribbling about 'discontent' in Beswick.

 

[Withnail]

The Real Madrid fans on Twitter are fuming!!!

No surprise that the scouse tramps aren't best pleased as well.

 

[CityBluez]

Haaland under pep will be massive. Can't wait for next season

it would also give City an extra month or so to shift Jesus so the #9 is available in a less awkward situation :)
