Erling Haaland

[Coatigan]

I also think people misinterpreted kehl's comments about a deadline

Bigtime.

All he said was, 'there is a release clause, and a deadline'. After previously stating they have set a deadline for Haaland to accept their improved offer to remove the clause.

It would be no different to us setting a deadline for Sterling to sign an extension. Nothing actually happens if that deadline passes, they are still players of the club, until they are not.

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

If he does choose us, it will because the sporting project and not this bullshit news about making him a highest earner, breaking wage structure etc. Makes no mistake he will be paid handsomely but still within a reason that our club is willing to accomodate.

It means our club is able to convince him to join us, rejecting offer from the more "prestigious" and "historic" club that can afford even more signing bonus and wages than our.

They absolutely can and be able to even more offer than our club, they just can't handle the reality that one of best young talent on the planet is willing to join us regardless the club stature and how much they can offer to him.

If?

If?

I really hope for you that the transfer goes through because if it fails, people will want your head here lmao

 

[meeesh]

If?

Any idea on when an official announcement may come ?
Obviously more from his side than the club I mean

If this is a done deal, who not just come out with it? Why all the secrets and withholding information. Just announce the deal is done, then we can boil more piss

Because announcing this could have adverse effect on players trying to win two trophies

I'd assume the players either already know he's coming or are spending too much time speculating which is also counter productive.

Has any club anywhere already been announcing players they have deals with for next season?

Possibly

 

[Otamendi's Beard]

Just watched his goals from yesterday. OK, there's no doubting that Wolfsburg are shite. However...

Two things.
1) Movement. He's always in and around the ball when it comes in from crosses. He regularly finds the space in the box.
2) Finishing. His finishing looks so simple because he's calm, picks his spot (see 2nd goal) and puts it exactly where he wants.

Two huge attributes to go with his speed, physicality, link up play, etc, etc.

If he comes we'll put 7 past teams so often PGMOL will be inventing offside goals left, right and centre.

If?

Just the one question mark, rather than a page-full?

Doesn't sound That confident!

This is the highest profile signing the club has made since…Robinho? Tevez maybe?

A world superstar who could go to any club he wanted and he’s chosen City.

They will have a massive promo campaign and reveal interviews and photoshoots selling next seasons merchandise and all that kind of crap.

They aren’t going to want it leaking out just after we bomb out of the cup.

I’m more surprised Dortmund haven’t spoiled the surprise. They are vindictive bastards, they’ve announced loads of transfer before the end of the season before and their executives love nothing more than running their mouths - but Puma are their biggest sponsor and it would piss them off no end.

Not announcing anything, but out of contention for two trophies already. Which one is the correct way?

If?

But still in with a chance of winning the biggest 2 trophies.

Come on, you all know how City work, especially regarding transfers.

If Haaland is signing, with the lose ends being tided up, or if he has signed unofficially, we will all hear about it eventually.

Be patient.

Any private planes from Germany due in at Barton (or whatever it's called these days) today?

Once Adeyemi to Dortmund is done they will announce it. Its how Dortmund operate get the replacement done, then announce the sale of the out going player.
