Welcome Erling Haaland | Signing confirmed on a 5 year deal

[Alexia_Ko]

yes i don’t like those comments at all. i don’t have any fears about the deal collapsing at all but i would just like it to be announced and done

The deal can't collapse otherwise the club wouldn't have announced it

Thought I'd read earlier that this years transfer window opens June 10th due to the early start of the season?

It does, in fact city tweeted this very same date on key dates for your diary

Could be any number of things more likely than flapping

-waiting for Jesus to move out of respect before announcing the number
-waiting for July 1st due to not paying wages till then
-could be puma might be trying to link to the announcement to make Erling face of the brand
-could be that things aren't finished at the dortmund side till 1st

 

[Rammy Blue]

Fuck me, is this thread for real? We’ve seen actual footage of him walking in the CFA wearing a City shirt and people are panicking?

Fucking lol.

 

[youngbob]

Very weird we haven’t announced it.

Even weirder the Norway manager’s comments today.

Slightly worrying.

No it isn't.

Calm down.

 

[TonyM]

Shittin it now.

 

[Rammy Blue]

Shittin it now.

Yeah, my mate just told me reckons he’s signing for the rags, anyone know where I can get rid of my tattoo at?

 

[Gumzy97]

Weak foot as well

Weak foot as well

Fuck me peak Bob Taylor there.

 

[Centurions]

Yeah - it’s always a balance between an honest desire for info, and the equally important desire not to come across as a complete fucking nuisance who he’ll run a mile from next time he sees you!

It's hugely concerning, and we all know how quickly the summer window can pass. Not too late to put a bid in for Danny Ings? We might be able to get him for £50-60m?

Remember Ronaldo to United they announced it about 4 times

I’d expect another announcement soon saying he’s agreed terms and passed a medical with some photos etc

then one in July when his registration with a full interview and possibly shirt number (if Jesus has gone)

maximise the social media interactions

Rags did this with all of their signings last summer iirc, announced Sanco and Varane with preliminary statements and then the actual media stuff later on

 

[why me? Blue Manchester]

Typical city lol

 

[Lkzerinho]

My guess is this announced sooner rather than later with the Chairman talking so openly about it

I find it hard to believe that for “legal reasons” he can’t be seen in a shirt but the Chairman can talk so openly about him choosing City.

I wonder if it's an image rights thing.

Because he is in between brands, we are dealing with other people as opposed to the normal people we would deal with, and therefore it's taking a bit longer because we can't go straight to the people we deal with at Nike, Puma, Adidas, etc. And we are dealing directly with his lawyers who may not be able to get this done as quick as the people at those brands.

Plot twist. We forget to announce him, win the CL then have it taken away cause Haaland never got officially registered....

Jokes aside that interview has my hyped
