Erling Haaland

[tolmie's hairdoo]

No I agree! I meant it in a 'stop getting me so excited!' kinda way ha.

Oh, I know what you meant, bud, just hate Ballbag grinding gears.

 

[andyhinch]

That's good to hear. I was just made privy to a series of texts.

I hope he was reassured you can still get a chip barm in Manchester :-)

Who said he's stalling?

We have a title to win.

It might not be dressed up as stalling but ultimately, it’s not done until it’s done. We’ve learned that the hard way. Should just get the bastard thing done IMO.

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

Were you shown a picture of him on the Corrie St tour holding a brochure from a posh Prestbury estate agent in one hand and a chip barm / muffin / sarnie in the other. Anything else would be pure conjecture.

They cut the crusts off in Prestbury!

Or they certainly did when I got married at the Bridge Hotel and we asked for chip barms to be served at the evening reception.

Not a barm in sight, all very dainty. Bastards even put the red and brown sauce in bowls.

 

[Thaksinssoldier]

Balague used to be reliable at one point, just seems to be another DiMarzio now recycling news.

Is there any truth to his agreement with Madrid or is that just based off pure speculation since team Haaland met with Madrid last year around this time?

He had ONE source, long proven as Roberto Martinez. Absolute chancer.

His dad was here long enough, he'll educate him about a good chip muffin

Perhaps there is a couple ,but I can't think of any player who has "snubbed" us and gone on to be proved to have made the right decision.Whilst I can think of a number who must be regretting that decision,Sanchez,Maguire,Isco,Kane,PR37,to name but a few ,some might have done alright, but have missed the chance to be part of our fantastic clubs rise on the world stage .

To be fair, I don't think multiple Champions League winner Isco has too many regrets.

 

[manimanc]

It was the same time i was given "the nod".

It could possibly be about the same time I was given "the clap".

(That joke was for the older viewers of bluemoon)

Literally became a Ballbag when every summer Fabregas was joining Barcelona every year from 2008-2012 (stopped clock and all that) , followed by his assurance that Falcao was joining City in 2015. Bale to United in 2017 was another classic.
None of these even “interested” but full on declarations of happening.

 

[halfcenturyup]

Sounds like a load of Ballagues to me.

 

[freshie]

Sounds like a load of Ballagues to me.

And a lot of Ballache

You should have popped over to the admiral mate.

I suppose so,but perhaps I'm in a minority of one that didn't really rate him ,every time I watched him he seemed to be the first one to get the hook.I was really meaning with us, players have the opportunity to become iconic ,as with Merlin V.K. Sergio Pab Zab etc.

Off topic but the bridge is nice place mate. Try the coast restaraunt next time if your in the village. I got married at the church next door to the bridge last August. Priest is a top blue.

Yeah, but personally I think the most striking thing about the list of players that have rejected us over the past 10 years is not how many of them that ended up regretting it, but how many of them we ourselves would have ended up regretting. It's easy to say they would have all been better off with us, and especially under Pep that might be true to various degrees. But I also think a lot of them just weren't up to the standard and thankfully they showed us that at different clubs (mostly United thank fuck).

There is no way of knowing but Isco I think would have been more Nasri than Silva. The likes of Sanchez was completely shot and could even have ended up costing us a couple of titles. Maguire and Fred probably wouldn't have been the laughing stocks they are today but is there really enough quality there for us to not have wanted a upgrade on them very rapidly?

I think overall our recruitment has been very good, but like any sustained succesfull business we have needed a healthy dose of luck. As for Haaland, I think he is one of those that can't fail anywhere. Just way to ruthlessly good

He's definitely a fan of Pep.. I spoke to him at the airport in Porto the morning after the final and he was clearly in awe of the guy and called him a "genius" BUT didn't always get his tinkering....

For fuck's sake. Do you lot want him to sign for Madrid?

It's a chip BUTTY.

And it is served on white bread, buttered, with salt and vinegar. No ketchup, no brown, no Lea and Perrins and no fuckin hoisin, teriyaki, or any other kind of sauce you may care to mention,

And it is served with the crusts ON.
