Welcome Erling Haaland | Signing confirmed on a 5 year deal

[mccity]

Well sad cafe reckon that Haaland will not fit the way we play , what they don't understand is, it's the way we played up to last season under Pep . Think Pep is gonna change football again.

Our most important player is arguably Walker, who's comfortably the least "Pep" player in the squad.

I'm sure we'll make it work!

So basically Lee Bradbury 2.0

Perhaps a marginal upgrade on Lee!

And a touch of Mario!
(Hopefully he's banned from buying fireworks!)

The best bits, the saner bits, the bits that are 100% football!

No chance of that. Norwegian sports press is possibly even more hostile towards City than yours and the the cult is lapping it up. Haaland is a star when playing for the national team but otherwise he is being portrayed as a corrupt or gullible fool running errands for the evil arabs.

My friend drink in their jealousy. Piss boiling gone to a new level. The best young talent in the world is ours.

You should see or rather hear @Ric s edit.. it’s worth it

 

[SWP's back]

You are an angry little chap. Maybe some meditation would help? There is no punchline. The players I mentioned genuinely excited me when they signed.

Ps. you didn’t need the word actually to make your sentence work.

Oh ffs. You missed the joke. Stewart Lee is a comedian, famous for his long drawn out stories/jokes.

 

[martinmcfc]

Some other good Erling specials on there too.

Yeah i’ve also got him to score 30, 33 and 35 goals aswell, 35 goals is 33/1 and thinking/hoping he gets 5 more goals and it jumps to 250/1. The guy is a machine, just need slightly more than a goal a game machine and it will be happy days!!!

 

[martinmcfc]

That is genuinely a steal. He could stand still on the penalty spot and he'll score a goal a game.

I would guess they're thinking he won't play every game, but in Germany everyone puts his injuries down to Marco Rose, whose training ended up injuring everyone at Dortmund, and Pep's rotation, but when someone nails down a position, Pep's rotation goes out the window. Haaland is probably going to be like Walker, Dias, Rodri & KDB and play 95% of games.

Yeah i agree, as long as he’s fit he’ll play the majority of games.

 

[TheThirdDeano]

If we can avoid our usual issue of injuries to key players this kid is going to be insane!

I really, really hope he keeps his shithouse attitude and drags it out of the other players, some matches we need a bit of bite

We should have signed Suárez.

Dortmund also knew he would be leaving at the end of this season so tried to extract everything even when he wasn't fit whereas we will have a completely different mindset in how we manage him

That's not really fair on Dortmund, they tried to get him to have surgery and sit out half the season but he played through.

It's just Marco Rose's caveman training loads that got everyone injured.

This chart paints the picture pretty well. Bellingham and Witsel were the only first team players who made it through the season without missing a bunch of games through injury.

Ah ok.

Wow, that chart certainly shows the pattern.

Just looked at that chart and it is obvious that something has gone badly wrong. Haaland did rather better than many of his colleagues yet pundits are saying he is injury prone. Is it the training regime, the medical team, or what?

Can't wait to see the Hammer of the Gods at the Etihad…Valhalla I am coming!

Don’t mess up the carpet.

They haven’t invented an X ray machine big enough to fit him in

You wrote Stewart Lee instead of Franny Lee.

Stewart Lee is the unfunny **** ie the comedian with no punchline.

Whereas you seem to be the dumb guy in this whole sorry saga.
