Erling Haaland is now a Manchester City boy. After years of “nearly-theres” on the European stage, the club needed a decisive force, and they seem to have found it in a 21-year-old Norwegian forward with golden hair and brutish strength.

Life is a series of decisions, and more often than not, these choices are very hard to make. Which college do I apply to for a master’s degree, which country is the best for my future, and what job prospects do I have in one company as compared to another? Even something as simple as deciding between pizza and pasta for dinner could take a lot of time!
There are some decisions, however, that just feel right. We might yet take our time to decide on these calls, but there’s a sense of satisfaction that comes with it—for example, finally mustering up the courage to ask someone out or deciding to go with the same brand of earphones you have been using for years. These calls are motivated by strong emotions or they just make too much sense on paper for us to overthink them.
Manchester City deciding to sign Erling Haaland falls into the latter category.
