I can remember a few transfers that generated this much noise where they lived up to it.

Figo to Madrid
Zidane to Madrid
Real Ronaldo to Barca
Real Ronaldo to Madrid
C Ronaldo to Madrid
Maradona to Napoli
Van Basten to Milan
Gullit to Milan

They all lived up to the hype, and Haaland is the same bracket as those players for his generation.

This is one of the biggest days in the history of the club, days like these have never come before, and they may never come again.

Enjoy it!

Stan Horne to City.

I've always believed that City were exactly right to wait for the right player rather than panic and just buy someone to fill the gap. I said last season that I would rather have Haaland than Kane, and I think that's why City hung on rather than pay an overrated price for an overrated striker. Well chuffed.

Tbf,Kane is a top player but not worth £150m at his age.

From your lips…

I desperately want you to be right, honestly. I’m just not big on tempting fate. Let him fit right in, have a good season, and I’ll dance in the streets with you after we win silverware!

I'll be there! Was able to get some pre-sale tickets last week, thankfully. Chances Haaland actually makes the trip? I assumed it would be extremely low.

Enjoy!

Was offered the chance, but don’t have my schedule that far in advance, so passed thinking j could probably go if able closer to the date. Not at these prices!!!

By all accounts (no pun intended) we don`t make a lot of money on shirt sales.I`m certain it was Colin who stated that a couple of years ago ?

I was under the impression that essentially, no teams make money from shirt sales....thats why we get sponsorship money from the shirt makers etc.....

Don’t agree with some of the comments about him needing time to settle. He might need time to get used to Peps tactics, but make absolutely no mistake put him in that team and he will score for fun straight away whilst he’s learning which tbh is the only thing I give a fuck about.

I don’t see how he’s not scoring 15-20 tap ins a season from inside the 6 yard box, never mind the rest of the chances he’s already proven he can bag.

He is already a Pep type player: he defends, he drops deep to join the build up and he busts a gut to get on the end of a final pass. The only bedding in he’ll need is to learn “the rules” of the game of position.

The worst thing about this being confirmed is losing the daily enjoyment of the Haaland transfer rumour thread. We didn't even get a decent plane-tracking saga - I feel cheated! #HaalandOut

We’ll all miss it

Haaland certainly did all those things in last season's matches for Dortmund against City plus a superb assist for Bellingham's goal.
 
Think he'll score a good amount of goals first season whilst adapting to Pep, our team and this defensive league. Then 2nd season if all has clicked, scoring records will be broken.
