Erling Haaland

[Exiled Mike]

Scouse isn’t a language, it’s a series of noises.

Not always in the right order though :)

 

[The Fat el Hombre]

I wonder how his signing will be portrayed in the media?

a) A bargain £63m for one of the best strikers and hottest prospects in football.
b) £300m deal when factoring in fees, wages, blah blah blah. City splashing crazy money again.

Already been on Talksport this morning as a 500 million pound deal!

They even emphasized the 63 million fee, as though that's a lot of money for a player of his quality

Fuck em boys. Someone pour the pina coladas

Thought it was £500m?
"How many nurses could have been paid for with that, don't City care that people are dying? Call in now on 0898..."

We should have paid Dortmund in monthly oil deposits to heat the stadium. Just to piss everyone off ;)

 

[wolviedinho]

Do we think he'll be on penalties?

Depends is he any good at missing the goal? ;)

 

[kupest]

Italians clubs would have paid that over 600 years probably.

 

[Rammy Blue]

I can’t fucking wait to see this monster up front for us.

A career-long loan

Everyone should get a token towards their own Haaland wobbly head toy every time they put fuel in their car. Feels only right since they're all paying for the transfer

This is how it feels o be City!

 

[blue b4 the moon]

Fucking BOOM be afraid be very afraid.

It's very clear this is tied into Peps comments yesterday...a big fuck you, fuck you all to everyone.

It's always going to be b) because that's where the clicks lie - but it's not just City.

The Alexis Sanchez deal to United could have been described as a bargain - swapping one of the best players in the PL with a player who had been poor, but that got the b) treatment too.

There were even multiple articles at the time linking it to the wages of the casual staff at United.

 

[MarsLlama]

The list of footballers who cost £63m or more is hilarious. Lemar, James Rodriguez, Osimhen, Arthur, L. Hernandez, Kepa, N. Pepé, Lukaku twice, Maguire, Higuain, Hazard, Pogba, Dembele, Felix, Griezmann and Coutinho.

 

[mancityscot]

Stratospheric signing. Has to be the biggest statement signing since the takeover surely?

To get the lad for half of what his transfer fee probably should be is incredible too.

Hope he can play the piano.

 

[richards30]

not getting excited until city post something! lol

 

[JOGAMIGMOG]

Fuckin get in! I knew it was a great idea starting this thread!

 

[Rammy Blue]

Then Pep’s new 3 year deal will be announced.

Piss Boiling FC is in town.
