Welcome Erling Haaland | Signing confirmed on a 5 year deal

[LangleyBlue1970]

Go watch their meltdown

 

[Tricky_Trev]

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

Well the only way he’s not running after him is if he leaves, as he’s going to have to train with him every day ;)

 

[Zin 'messiah' Zimmer]

Could be a rabbit from the hat involved in this, potential player with buy back option, the figures don’t add up

 

[OB1]

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

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

They will have to write off any unmortised transfer fee from when they bought him. His orginal contract ran beyond this season.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Is his transfer thread the longest one we're had where we've actually signed the player?

Not quite, the Scott Carson thread will never be beaten.

 

[manimanc]

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?

It's all done mate.
This is all part of the charade of a transfer.

Interest.
Breaking news.
Fee agreed.
Contract to be finalised.

He's already agreed terms, this is just playing it out for the media.

To the tune of Der Haaland:

Haaland! Haaland!
He's our big blue Norwegian
Came to City and Now he scores for fun
Haa Haa Haa Haaland!


Haaland! Haaland!
Cross the ball and he will score,
A beautiful blue bastard to the core,
Haa Haa Haa Haaland!

 

[Burtonblue]

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?

Two of those and I hope Bernie isn’t one of them

 

[levets]

Why is that dickhead on sky calling him horland

Norwegian pronunciation

[pudge]

Woah, calm down their City admin, don't go overboard.

Now, where's the lotion?

 

[jimmygrimblesboots]

Personal terms done and dusted weeks ago , they have to state "subject to personal terms" because we would be accused of "tapping up" a player , and would normally be cautious about any player arriving from rhe Bundesliga especially if you look how Sancho has flopped at the Rags.
But this lad is different gravy you only have to look at his Champions league goal scoring record , we have beaten every major club in europe to potentially the best striker around , not bad for Likkle Citeh.

It's not a media thing, it is keeping to the legal formalities.

Welcome you moose herding, herring munching, alpine skiing, heavy water plant destroying, Viking bastard! Lose the Alice band though mate ;-))))))))

 

[jimharri]

Last time i was this excited when we signed Trevor Francis and 10,000 of us went to Stoke to witness his debut , the difference we wont have to sell him 12 months later 'cos we were skint :)

I was there. What a day that was!

 

[Invisible Man's Bandage]

Is he eligible for Wolves tomorrow?

 

[Scottish Cityzen]

This has been coming for months but now that it’s here, fuck me IT FEELS GOOD

Unbelievably, the total package involved is an absolute steal compared to the suggested numbers (not even taking into account his market value).

What a time to be a blue. Buzzing!

 

[dadnlad]

shit were skint

 

[Chi-town blues]

Why is that dickhead on sky calling him horland

Sounds llike an amsterdam accent

OK Haaland is great and I get everything, but here is the question -> can he deliver on a rainy evening at Stoke ? Let's take a step back and think about it...

Hehe Germany can be pretty wet and cold, as for Stoke, unless we get them in the LC and he's coming back from an injury I'd not worry too much about that.
