Erling Haaland

Are we going to have to get Madrid's permission to extend Pep's contract once we sign Haaland?

No, as long as we inform Everton

i wonder if the announcement will be as and when it’s done or if we’re gonna hold off until the end of the season. my mate reckons it’ll be a pep style announcement soon (some sort of still graphic or just text on a blue background) and then a proper video announcement beginning of june

We may get an image of Haaland with a shirt rising on the Large Screens instead of the blue moon on Tuesday night

Really piss off Madrid

A waste of marketing that would be. Just imagine what Madrid will do with Mbappe, that should be our standard too.

Btw, someone sent me a tweet from a Madrid aggregator with Diario As is claiming that because his biggest dream is to play for RM, his stay with us could be just one year. They’re completely losing it and it’s hilarious to watch

I can't wait for them to let us through to the final because they think the travel costs are obscene.

completely agreed but our announcements are usually utter shit (other than grealish’s tbf that was quality). it’ll be just him walking out to that shite dubstep.

Worth a tenner i reckon

Few pennies to win!

nobhead you lad. guy has just made an account, says he’s excited about a deal and is just trying to gain some information on a forum full of like minded people. no need to scrutinise or make him feel small

Totally agree,no need at all

On Haaland being better on the counter- I reckon if (when) we get him we’d play with more fast breaks anyway like 17/18 but we don’t really have the ability to right now due to the lack of pace up front (barring raz). I think it showed a few times in the Brighton game too, felt like Kev was running counters on his own since Mahrez doesn’t have that speed anymore

Yeah he just always struck me as a player who thrives in a counter attacking set up. With City being the team that controls possession the most in this league, it's going to be interesting to see how he fits into that system. Perhaps we might not even see the best of him until his second season at the club. It does seems like your players sometimes have to go through a season of acclimatising and learning Pep's football before lighting up the league in year 2.

It could take time for him to adjust. Bernardo, Mahrez, Rodri, Cancelo are examples of players improving over time under Pep.

I suspect if we sign Haaland he'll have an impact more quickly. The tifo analysis of his attributes (think it's on youtube) show how statistically he's a great match for City.

I would love to have Havertz too ;-)
