Erling Haaland signs 9.5 year new contract!

Following the contract extension it would just be like Pep to bench Haaland and play Marmoush instead. Alternatively he would convert Haaland into a world class holding midfielder.

In the old days, we'd follow something up like this with Haaland breaking his leg....

Nowadays, even though form hasn't been great, I think Ipswich should be concerned.
 
I'll add a differing view and expect to be shot down but here goes.....

I'm loving the piss boiling that the announcement has caused. Watch Cuntbridge self explode is a lovely thing.

But what if EH was a 18 year old striker breaking through this season? Would you offer a massive deal like this? He's been well below par this year and (hope I'm wrong) if he doesn't improve, we're saddled with a £250 million outflow, just to one player.

Of course when he's smashed 40 goals by the end of the season this will look like a bargain. And imagine the fee we'll get in 2029 if a release clause is triggered.

He’s not an 18 year old. He’s the best striker in the world. So this is the best deal in the world.
 
Just brilliant news, what a statement and surely this will continue to attract other top top players in the future. I don't do social media so i'm just in seventh heaven thinking about all the trash that's going around. Just sit back and enjoy City fans.

I get what you're trying to say, but in your analogy an 18 year old breaking through wouldn't have had two previous seasons of breaking the goals in a season record and being top scorer in both. Nor would he have several seasons as a bundesliga top scorer.

The thing is, he's having an off season but so is the rest of the team, and you have a lot of data to suggest he hasn't peaked. So the analogy just doesn't hold up
