[kaz7]

Pep must be staying , he must be

 

[JASR]

A Dortmund legal statement reads...​

Player Erling Haaland (“Player”) is about to transfer from Borussia Dortmund GmbH & Co. KGaA (“BVB”) to Manchester City Football Club Limited (“Manchester City”).All parties have agreed on the basics of this today.The contractual details still have to be coordinated and documented.The implementation of the transfer is also subject to proper and timely processing in accordance with the provisions of the FIFA Transfer Matching System (FIFA TMS).
With the realization of this transfer business, the management expects a positive effect on the key earnings figures (EBITDA, EBIT) for the 2022/2023 financial year in the order of around EUR 35.0 million - 40.0 million.Due to the opening of the international FIFA transfer window from July 1st, 2022 and, among other things, other regulatory association requirements, the transfer business will not fall into the current 2021/2022 financial year, but into the 2022/2023 financial year.

So 35m-40m euro positive affect...?

After taking out his Dortmund wages...We aren't paying by installments are we?

Welcome erling. The guys a beast. We're going to destroy teams for fun next season. Well done to city also for getting this over the line. Some statement to world football.

 

[kaz7]

Not at all. If he wants to be here then I'm all for it.

Just think some people need to temper their expectations as there will undoubtedly be growing pains.

Only you lol

Didn't someone on here say that he is signing an extension?

 

[I'm Blue]

He’s still a massive ****!

Agreed that ‘million pound a week’ video showed him for what he is.
“He’s still a massive ****!”

 

[paulchapo]

I hope every goal he scores against the rags he says "That's for my dad, motivated by Roy Keane."

 

[kippaxwarrior]

If it’s ok with @tolmie's hairdoo, @kippaxwarrior, @Blue Mist and the rest, I’ll get packed up in the morning and head home.

One more night on the Heineken with a doner meat and pineapple pizza and then my work here is done.

Over and out from the Aerodrome.

You want to stand down?

 

[Churchlawtonblue]

Now I believe. This guy scores goals. Lots of goals. And we create lots of chances.

Wonder who if any will be leaving. Sterling, Gabby, Barnado?

 

[Tugay One Cup]

Pep must be staying , he must be

Of course he is.

Anyone else disappointed that the club didn’t “accidentally” leave Kalidou Koilibaly’s name in the statement?

what a great signing!!!! GET IN!!

First time this year that I don’t mind paying 1.80 for diesel. Need to do my bit to help pay the 51m ;)

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Well if those “personal terms” don’t get agreed then Laporte is going to look like a fool huh! Haha

Guess that means he doesn’t want to leave either.

 

[OB1]

Sorry I’ve missed it, can someone please explain the ‘contract still to be agreed with the player’ part to this so I can get excited?

Can’t remember a deal being announced like this before and surely that’s a huge part of it?

You can't have agreed terms with a player who is at another club until they give you permission to speak to them so we cannot have spoken with Haaland about terms until now ;-)

 

[Tricky_Trev]

I hope every goal he scores against the rags he says "That's for my dad, motivated by Roy Keane."

I loved tolmie’s words earlier, something like “I was just a young boy when he hurt my Dad - now I’ll hurt you all”

 

[Burtonblue]

Anyone hoping Keane and Richards are on duty tonight?
Could be epic wummery

Would rather see Alfie there than Micah
Should be interesting

 

[Chi-town blues]

Haaland leading the city line next season
