[Zin 'messiah' Zimmer]

We’ve come a long way since Geoff Thomas

Dortmund website now saying it’s close

To be fair we’ve not done too bad from Germany… De Bruyne, Dzeko, Sané, Kompany, De Jong, Gundogan, now Haaland. Why worry? :)

True ,a couple of those players needed time to settle in , hopefully Haaland hits the ground running.

Cant wait for next season to see him in the flesh scoring goals. Fantastic news.

A player who was desperately wanted by Real, Barca and Bayern.
A player who was wanted by Chelsea last season
A player who was wanted by United 2 seasons ago

City truly among the elite clubs now.

It isn't though, they are pulling an R from nowhere making it worse.

Well,I’m going off what Erling himself said… Hawland in Norway… Haa Land if not in Norway

 

[Brightwell Bros.]

Is this the first time we have signed a global superstar?

Aguero is the only player who comes close, I think, but that was an era dominated by top strikers.

 

[Manc in London]

Wow actually pretty decent summary

Weird though that the media ask this question. We have won plenty of trophies in the last few years, play great football and we have arguably been the best team in world football over the last 5 years.

It is more Ho'land but sky are full on Whoreland.

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.

Wait, does this mean the transfer fee is even less than being reported? @Prestwich_Blue ?
