Erling Haaland

[Blu1]

A gesture like that would have been more meaningful and sincere after his career ending injury sustained representing us

Very true. We could offer a room alone with Roy Keane for 5 mins in the press office too I suppose. I’m sure father & son could have a word with keane about that.

could be a good point you raise though. Did city handle his dad well after his injuries. Could be a big factor

I think you may be overthinking that. He will go to where he is offered the most money, shirley as simple as that?

I dont believe he will,whichever club he chooses have the ability to pay varying degrees of astronomical wages,so i suspect,given his very obvious passion and love for the game....he will go where he has the best opportunity to excel and win trophies.

why was it disallowed? offside?

No, Sevilla's defender tried to shoulder Haaland (which is similar to colliding with a rock) and fell over. Ref's verdict: Haaland's foul

Rarely do the stars align like this. Father played for our club, most clubs are skint, clear need for a striker in the team, title winning season, release clause activated in a year so need to sell, sell on fee for Sancho. So many reasons we should get this over the line, and if we don’t, we’ve missed the next big thing when we need a striker more than ever.

Totally agree.

It’s the perfect transfer and the perfect time. He is a monster of a player and looks pretty much guaranteed to make it to the very top.

If we don’t get this over the line, Txiki will get pelters on here especially if he ends up at another English club.

Im pretty pessimistic of it happening purely based on our recent track record (dating back to the likes of Hazard and Sanchez the first time round) of signing our first choice targets.

Might be a daft question but how sure are we that we are def in for him? Are we just basing it on what we hope for? Or newspaper gossip? Or have we had any reliable info?

Listen, Dias has worked out well for us, but we only got him because he couldn’t find another team that wanted Nico earlier. And again, Zinny has been class this season, but he was supposed to go so we could get a proper LB. And that’s just last summer

And we're not playing FIFA either. Dias is a credit to Txiki's method, he was option C

 

[Lavinda Past]

Txiki was moving in at that stage and under some pressure with FFP. He's been world class since. Cop on to yourself.

Two words...

Mangala

Bony

That defender was our old boy Fernando

 

[Ajm1985]

Just seen the clip for the goal he scored fiasco....but the way he bounced that defender out the way

The lad is an animal

Go get him City

Think that was good ol Fernando

 

[Otamendi's Beard]

Imagine our threat from set pieces...

Dias/Stones/Laporte, plus Rodri and Haaland.

The combination of our exquisite, total football with a Stoke-esque aerial threat would be quite something.

freekick to Sevilla and a booking if he was wearing our shirt in that situation.
