Erling Haaland

[Centurions]

...

Haaland is to Dzeko what Dzeko is to Goater in footballing terms. There’s a reason he’s our top target and it’s not because he’s dead tall.

Ha, made me laugh out loud.

Ha, made me laugh out loud.

That’s up there with buster phillips being a 10m player (:

City have made it clear the money can be used for the benefit of the entire CFG group, which included City, obviously.

I understand that can form operational costs, infrastructure and absorbing costs that can relieve other areas.

If we are saying the money is Sheikh Mansour's and can't be used, he might as well have taken the money directly into his own pocket?

The money is earmarked for the CFG and the improving City and sister clubs.

Won't be for transfers, as others have stated.

My original post was hypothetical, imagine the foaming if CFG loaned City £300m to be paid back over 30 years...

Interest free, ;-)

I can envisage only one of Haaland or Messi to come tbh. I might be in the minority here but as much as I love and respect Messi, I hope it’s the Scandinavian shithouse robotor.

I mean yeah ideally both would be nice but yes Haaland would have to be the one out of them both

No chance he stays under Laporta? I’m not saying I believe everything printed but seems like there’s always a chance?

Barcalona are broke they couldn't pay Messi for 1 month nevermind another 2 years

For them to survive they have to move on, they will be busy sorting current contracts, teams what they owe & banks money

Messi is off

I can tell you United did an off the record briefing last week stating they couldn't afford him and were distancing themselves from an auction.

Ole also stated his belief City were at the front of the queue.

He is well informed on the situation, as it is in United's interests to know the landscape, as they want to sign a striker this summer.

City do not have a problem with the local pack writing we are in for Haaland, and we are very quick to shut down such talk.

We have been speaking to his dad for a few months.

Might be a coincidence, but Pep signed his new deal shortly after the club told him we would be backing him big again.

Good to hear this Tolm. I hope it comes off (obviously).

Yes, we've never actually signed a world class player. We have turned them up into world class players. Haaland, at 20 year old, is already world class, with potential to be super duper world class.

Yaya had won 2 champions leagues & numerous La Liga at one of the Top 3 teams in the world . He was world class for me . But I’m going off the topic .

100% he does...

I’m normally the kiss of death on stuff like this, getting older and more conscious of info, this is also separate to what billy will already know, however, I’ve spoken to someone who will undoubtedly be involved in this and it’s already further along than people realise...

As supporters we have yet to really feel the euphoria of what a signing like this looks like, despite the outstanding acquisitions over the years, this will be the game changer in that regard...

Does it happen? I’ve been cautious since Kaka tbh, this one though just feels inevitable!

So what you're saying is it's gif time yeah?

Will it be Messi , Haaland and Mendes as our summer buisness?
