Erling Haaland

[vincent]

Probably BS. But that is what Salah is demanding and Ronaldo is on more (reportedly).

I wonder how his signing will be portrayed in the media?

a) A bargain £63m for one of the best strikers and hottest prospects in football.
b) £300m deal when factoring in fees, wages, blah blah blah. City splashing crazy money again.

It's always going to be B, until a few years down the road when those same people will act like they've been saying it was A all along, whilst struggling to look their co-host in the eye.

There's a huge amount of narrative people want mainlined straight into their system so they can cope with this and us in the short term. All that wishful thinking tends to fade away every year.

The list of footballers who cost £63m or more is hilarious. Lemar, James Rodriguez, Osimhen, Arthur, L. Hernandez, Kepa, N. Pepé, Lukaku twice, Maguire, Higuain, Hazard, Pogba, Dembele, Felix, Griezmann and Coutinho.

Fuck me, is that for real?

Edit…can’t be right, VVD off the top of my head would be in that list.

Sky Sports News reporting Haaland has told Dortmund he's leaving. Doesn't say who to though

Call it off. I was hoping we'd spread it over the next decade.

BS likely. I think he will be around KDB but definitely that much more than him.

Sorry, that's not the full list, just the ones that made me laugh out loud

Fuckin get in! I knew it was a great idea starting this thread!

You chose the words wisely for that first post as well

Ha, ok mate, for one minute thought it’s complete list, lol.

You‘re right though, there are some shockers on it.

27 months in the making but thank fuck it was right.

Bad news: the club have found out while filming the announcement video that Haaland lied about being able to play the piano. Transfer now in doubt.

That's because the headline already says "Erling Haaland close to completing Manchester City move from Borussia Dortmund".

That has got to be bullshit. Why would we accept that clause and sell on fee

 

[kupest]

What the media is ignoring is that we got a player who would have likely commanded 150 million in the current market for around 63 million. Its probably the bargain of the decade. He is 21 and the hottest prospect in football (with Mbappe) bar none. 63 million is half the price of a 28 year old Kane.

Dont listen to any reports about his exorbitant cost etc as they have only one aim. 63 fucking million for the best striker in the world who is only 21 !

The headline & what Haaland is reported to have said are two different things. \0/

That tattoo on the neck is a no go for me.

 

[Trickyblues]

Can’t wait for Kaveh on Sky to say we’re getting a £200m player for £65m.
