2023 FIFA Club World Cup

This trophy is missing from his honours. Why is that? 2001:1C04:2A14:500:F598:206:F49E:90FA (talk) 20:13, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Erling Haaland has signed a new long-term contract with the club, extending his tenure at the Etihad Stadium until 2034. Should Haaland remain with the team until the contract's conclusion, he will be with Manchester City until his 34th birthday, a period spanning nine and a half years."Erling Haaland contract: Manchester City striker signs new nine-and-a-half-year deal until 2034". SkySports. 2025-01-17. Retrieved 2025-01-17.

This agreement represents the longest contract currently in the Premier League, surpassing the nine-year deal signed by Cole Palmer with Chelsea in August. Metaprost (talk) 12:46, 17 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Confusion regarding player of the season 2019-20

Regarding this this edit, I am finding several sources saying Haaland was the player of the season, like https://sport.orf.at/stories/3069419/ and https://web.archive.org/web/20210810060124/https://www.bundesliga.at/de/redaktion/news/19-20/haaland-spieler-des-jahres-2019/

But the link provided in the edit summary above does not list him, what gives? --TylerBurden (talk) 19:06, 5 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The height

So in the website you said he is 6’4 but i met him and he said straight to me “I’m 6’4 and 3/4 so can i politely change it Ruaridh Christopher Kane (talk) 21:23, 29 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry Ruaridh, but we go by reliable sources rather than word of mouth from people on talk pages. ser! ^{(chat to me - see my edits)} 21:25, 29 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Honours

Hi,

Shouldn't he also be listed as part of the 2019/20 Austrian Bundesliga team in the honours page as he made 22 appearances in the league, and he made 2 appearances in the previous season but was listed as part of the team in the honours page anyway. 202.90.242.154 (talk) 03:56, 1 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Pronunciation again

FWIW How to pronounce EVERY Premier League player and managers name has him saying his name first in native manner and then "how would you like commentators to say it? [What country? Every country.]" The video is WP:PRIMARY and converting to IPA would be WP:OR, but perhaps a footnote, e.g. "for Norwegian and anglicised pronunciations see this video", would pass muster? jnestorius^(talk) 14:16, 28 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Probably would be more useful than IPA which the vast majority of readers can't read. TylerBurden (talk) 19:30, 28 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This isn't the place to criticise IPA. Take it up at Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Pronunciation. jnestorius^(talk) 20:45, 28 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I am not and expert, but looking at the IPA help page and being Norwegian, I can confidently say that the first vowel is incorrect in all dialects of Norwegian. It is not "e", but rather "æ" or "æ:". The IPA pronounciation should be taken out or corrected by someone with strong IPA knowledge and advanced command of Norwegian/native speaker 88.91.207.193 (talk) 20:33, 31 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It looks like @AleksiB 1945 may have verified the 1969 Berulfsen source since they restored it? TylerBurden (talk) 21:24, 31 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I looked up the source. It does not have an IPA transcription, but a Norwegian simplified version. Moreover, it just lists "Håland". The following link shoud give you access to the book from Norway at least. https://www.nb.no/items/45aba4e2cf1a7f0ad6c3bb7ad8853339?page=144 88.91.207.193 (talk) 22:42, 31 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Ok thanks, the WP:ONUS is on whoever wants to add the IPA's to actually demonstrate that it's verifiable, so I've removed it again as WP:SYNTH. TylerBurden (talk) 10:58, 1 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

2023 FIFA Club World Cup should not be listed among Honours as Haaland was out of Manchester City squad for this competition. 2A01:5A8:42D:4128:E12E:77F8:DD99:1380 (talk) 08:03, 2 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
