Erling Haaland

[Cobwebcat]

The only thing I can’t get my head around is if he can’t make his mind up how committed will be be to either team? If he has made his mind up and everything else is in place….why the long wait…do we have to wait till the end of the season to trigger the buy out clause?

Strange that Mino is so quiet, compare it to when he left Salzburg, or with any of his other players.

Got me wondering if he’s had to sign a NDA while we negotiate, usually how City do things.

He is also called Haaland (Håland to be very pedantic) and not Halland as I have seen numerous times in this thread.

No big deal but it amuses me how some players/people names gets constantly misspelled on the internet, especially when it's basically one letter from actually getting it right. Radamel Falcao is one of my personal favourites, back in the day on this forum he was mostly known as Radamel Falcoa. Mino Raiola is another one, perhaps better collectively known as Mino Riaola. It's also funny to look at other forums and see the same peoples names spelled the same way. I am sure I have done it numerous times myself, there is loads of alternative names out there

@93.20blue told us to keep a close look on him around september 2020 when we played Villa, and he has shown recently that he knows a thing or two

Had a chuckle reading the replies.

I would be genuinely surprised if Haaland hasn’t even indicated which way he was going next

I don’t think anyone knows if the release clause can be triggered now or only sometime during this summer. There has been some reports there is a deadline approaching for the release clause to be paid. Which means it probably can be triggered now. If that’s true that could be one reason why this is apparently going to be wrapped up in 2-3 weeks (very reliable sources saying 2 weeks). If that isn’t true (an approaching deadline) I’m not sure why they would choose to announce mid season. I hope the former is true. If it has to be triggered soon… a decision must be made, the International break makes sense for the announcement.

I heard that Haaland is putting pen to paper on his contract this weekend and it will all be done for next week?

He's not leaving on a free transfer, he's still under contract with Dortmund with a get out clause that's all.
He may tell Dortmund of his intentions to leave, but his signing won't be announced until the transfer window opens.

Have we had another player with all 5 vowels in their surname play for us?

Sometimes transfers are disclosed in Germany before the summer. It’s not impossible that it could be announced at anytime.

Its a bit of a ****’s trick though. Just wait and honour the contract until the clause kicks in.
