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

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 ;-)
 
Madrid having issues with Mbappe , Mbappe wants to own all his image rights. Madrid don’t want that.
 
Ballague really is a bitter bastard, and a text book Madrista.

His rant is a copy and paste of what we’ve been discussing on BM since City have been after Haaland. There is no substance to his thoughts, and certainly nothing new.

He’s another football pundit, bullshitter, stealing a living. But this time he’s Spanish, and he’s up Madrids arse!

BBC United at Mediacity have given him the platform to inform and enlighten the nation as to why Haaland may have chosen City over Real Madrid.

I won’t link the article. Parts of the article are below.

'If Benzema wasn't there, Haaland would be a Real player'​


"Something has happened in the last couple of weeks, something called Benzema, that has turned the mind of Haaland into 'you know what, I can go to Madrid in two or three years'.

"And that, by the way, was the proposal that City put to him. Not only was it the most attractive financial proposition, they also said 'you're young, stay with us for two or three years, we'll use you well, meanwhile Real Madrid will always be there'.

"If Benzema was not there, [Haaland] would be a Real Madrid player," he added. "The attractiveness of Real Madrid - I would add Barcelona as well - goes beyond any money that Manchester City can offer.
 
Ballbag chats some shit, making out that no player would want to stay at City long if Real and Barca are in for you. As if we'll only offer him a 2 or 3 year deal, it will be either 4 or 5 you English club hating idiot

That's on us for signing him for 2 years with a £30m release clause!
 
How can he say Barcelona has the attractiveness that our money can’t offer then cite Benzema as the only reason he’s coming to city hahaha

If Madrid want to test out his theory then why don't they tell Benzema to do one and try and take on us for Haaland, ultimately ending up with neither of them.

He knows that talking this way will give him airtime on British media
 
"Haaland has known for a while what Real Madrid and Manchester City are offering, and others, but those are the two clubs that are left," Balague said on the Euro League podcast.
