Welcome Erling Haaland | Signing confirmed on a 5 year deal

[Stoned Rose]

Will signing a player as good as Haaland for only £51m deflate the transfer market and save football?

City saving football.

Not many people on here will know this but when Bernardo signed for us, the meltdown from some posters on Red Cafe was so bad that the site owners somewhat amusingly sent a PM to every member of the forum basically asking the flappers to calm the fuck down! It went along the lines of "We can understand people are disappointed but try not to get too despondent as we still have a full summer ahead and United might make some exciting signings too". I can't remember the exact wording of the message but being a member I was lucky enough to get a PM!

Rag.

It makes sense as he did exactly the same with BVB.

Keeps him in control and City would not argue as they got him for a steal.

Doesn’t really make sense.

You do that on the way up the ladder, not when your at the top.

Rival fans will lap it up because it seems to validate the idea city are below real in the totem pole, but there’s no way City themselves feel that way.

No player signed since 2008 has ever had a release clause and I doubt any ever will.

City also told journalists yesterday they thought his market value was €200m so why would they put a clause in that’s 50m below that, 2 years prior to the move?

we’ve done this before. Aguero and Silva were gonna spend 2 years here, Pep had a clause to leave for Juventus…it’s all bullshit.

I back mino on this one, calling out BILD from the grave, its what he would of wanted.

I think the giveaway is the part about it being activated in year 3. There's no way he's only planning to play in the PL for 3 years.

I hope the news is fake. We are not steppingstone club.
