Welcome Erling Haaland | Signing confirmed on a 5 year deal

[LangleyBlue1970]

Go watch their meltdown

Guess that means he doesn’t want to leave either.

Well the only way he’s not running after him is if he leaves, as he’s going to have to train with him every day ;)

 

[Zin 'messiah' Zimmer]

Could be a rabbit from the hat involved in this, potential player with buy back option, the figures don’t add up

 

[OB1]

So 35m-40m euro positive affect...?

After taking out his Dortmund wages...We aren't paying by installments are we?

They will have to write off any unmortised transfer fee from when they bought him. His orginal contract ran beyond this season.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Is his transfer thread the longest one we're had where we've actually signed the player?

Not quite, the Scott Carson thread will never be beaten.

Sorry I’ve missed it, can someone please explain the ‘contract still to be agreed with the player’ part to this so I can get excited?

Can’t remember a deal being announced like this before and surely that’s a huge part of it?

It's all done mate.
This is all part of the charade of a transfer.

Interest.
Breaking news.
Fee agreed.
Contract to be finalised.

He's already agreed terms, this is just playing it out for the media.

To the tune of Der Haaland:

Haaland! Haaland!
He's our big blue Norwegian
Came to City and Now he scores for fun
Haa Haa Haa Haaland!


Haaland! Haaland!
Cross the ball and he will score,
A beautiful blue bastard to the core,
Haa Haa Haa Haaland!

 

[Burtonblue]

Now I believe. This guy scores goals. Lots of goals. And we create lots of chances.

Wonder who if any will be leaving. Sterling, Gabby, Barnado?

Two of those and I hope Bernie isn’t one of them

 

[levets]

Why is that dickhead on sky calling him horland

Norwegian pronunciation
