The below is from the Sun (i know, i know). The quote is attributed to an Admin on the board.
City will hope his affection for the club will give them a crucial edge over their rivals.
The Norwegian spent 18 months as part of Citysnakk before quitting last year as people kept pestering him to sign for the club.
His dad Alfie remains a member and one of the group admins said: “It was clear from his time with the group that Erling is a passionate supporter of our club.
“We’re all delighted he is getting his chance to play at the Etihad. It’s a dream draw for him and his family.
“We would love it if one day he is playing there more regularly.''

He has a bit of time yet, Zidane didn't leave Bordeaux until he was 24 and while ligue 1 may have been arguably slightly stronger then Bordeaux weren't playing CL football. Ronaldinho was 22 leaving PSG when ligue 1 was weaker than it is now. Both were probably the 2 greatest players in World football at the peak of their careers. Messi and Ronaldo are unlikely to ever be matched purely for longetivity at the very, very top. There was a 10 year period where Schneider came close in one season and nobody else was seen to have really managed (although everyone will have their personal favourites during this time - mine was Iniesta).

Eh? Don’t really understand that. More regularly than what? Must have been lost in translation.
more regularly than CL randomly drawn ties, presumably

I’ve been a member of that facebook group for a couple years now. Unprofessional by the admin to leak it to the press
Did they? or did the press pick up on it and they commented, timed with the CL draw and speculative questions. I don't know enough about it, but the rumours of him being part of a city forum in norway have been about a while.
Either way, prob not their place to comment, you have a point.
It seems like someone leaked it to the press, either way, he confirmed it and gave a little interview. I think I know who the guy is, and he strikes me as a bit of an attention seeker.
It’s a private group, which means that all members have to be approved to be added, and it’s a quite small group compared to other clubs fan groups. Only members can see who’s part of the group, and thus it seems unprofessional to me telling/confirming it to the press. I’m sure Haaland does not appreciate the press getting hold of his membership
That is interesting to know, thanks for that.

As long as the club had nothing to do with it (sincerely doubt we did) it's nothing to worry about. I'd be more worried about him reading some of the shite on this thread.
That’s the standard for every private Facebook group

Madrid journalists going all out on Haaland news.....Feels more like a ploy to gather clicks but it is Real Madrid at the end of the day.

He must really fancy sitting around for 7 or 8 years while they sort out their finances and rebuild their entire defence and midfield then.

Based on what exactly?
Usually when Real want a top player they get them, they are a huge pull even in their current state.Maybe times have changed but i think it was Graham Hunter who said they have access to huge lines of credit this summer.
