Welcome Erling Haaland | Signing confirmed on a 5 year deal

[Johnny Mars Bar]

Are people still thinking it might not happen?

He’s literally posted a photo of himself on Instagram as a kid wearing a City kit, and he’s been photographed in the car park at the CFA wearing a City shirt.

The cheesy photo holding a pen with Txiki has obviously already been taken, it’s just not been published yet.

I’m 100% comfortable, and I’m one of the people who said all along that there’s no way the club or Txiki would be able to get this deal over the line. I’ve never been happier to be wrong.

Have to admit, I thought it was a ruse by the boss man to avoid the forum spontaneously combusting when the lanky Viking was unveiled today.

Unfortunately, he was born in Leeds, so he's a yorkie.

Smokescreen?

Wouldn’t be surprised!

Recently saw a clip of Lewandowskis 5 goals in 9 minutes under Pep and thought, man, we have a player now who can probably give us moments close to this.

Don't be greedy.
We got 3 goals in 5 minutes a few weeks ago!

Would you admit to being born in the land that time forgot?

Good to remember that Grealish was shocked when he was given his shirt number.

But he had requested the #10, no?

I was born in Ashton, not Mossley.

I know he probably wants - and will get - #9 but I do think #15 has something about it for him.

Not particularly on brand though…

I think it was Adam Johnson's preferred number.

It gave Ronnie Irani one of his most memorable moments whilst supporting the rags ;-)

Was that when he was in the stand at Old Trafford at exactly the same time he was playing cricket in Essex?
