Erling Haaland | Dortmund player
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Just won a penalty for Dortmund.
Would have been on penalties if he had chosen use. What a loser.
Missed out on a generational talent in a position we desperately need to fill because we were too prideful to accept a bloody staggered release clause. Even if he fecked off after 3 years, odds are we'd be in a far better position then than we are now.
or he chose them over us
Aaaaand another one.
And another goal 
Always rated him.
Pfff! He is gonna break so many records!
Insane record.
He just keeps banging them in, terrible goalkeeping for that last one but he's just always in the right position and at the right time. It's a mark of the great strikers, and he already has that at his age.
7 goals, 14 games left after this one. Can Haaland manage to do the same before he turns 20 in July?
First Bundesliga player to score 7 times in first 3 games.
8 shots, 7 goals and won one penalty in 134 minutes of Bundesliga play so far. Totally mindblowing!
Considering Ole's current record against relegation fodder, I'd chalk this up as a plus too.
He has a staggered release clause of like 60 odd million that activates in his third season so I doubt he's going anywhere for free.
Even though the release clause is a couple seasons away - it isn't too far away.. Surely Dortmund are feeling some pressure building already - literally every club with a transfer budget and a history are going to be looking at the lad now.
Well - the combination of him and King up front - Ødegaard and Berge in midfield and Ajer in defense - looking good for Norway at least
Who the hell is this @Pigeon geezer? @Wonder Pigeon I can accept because technically he sounds like a cheap magician knock-off of myself but this other guy makes it look like he's the original. Time to sharpen up my stabbing spoon.
Lacks a lot of quality in the team, but it certainly looks like Norway for once has a shot of making a tournament.
Still gutted we couldn't get him in, we're desperate for goals and presence up front. Unbelievable start, and to think a sizeable portion of the forum didn't want him..
Technically you are the knockoff, seeing as Wonder Pigeon signed up in 2006 and you in 2014.
I think that we fecked up here. We overpay average players but when we can sign top player then we decide to not go over the limit and we decide to make a stand "nobody is bigger than Man Utd". If release clause was the problem so what? Sign him now and then in a year or two offer him new contract without that clause. He will want new contract anyway after some time.
Yeah but I was born in 1987 and so I'm at least (doing the maths in my head) seventy years older than him.Technically you are the knockoff, seeing as Wonder Pigeon signed up in 2006 and you in 2014.
I think that the stand we made was on a windy and grey morning as the rain clattered onto the shelter and we were waiting for a bus that wasn't coming since he had already decided that he didn't want to join us.
Exactly, We really need someone like him for now and who knows what happens after 3 years? Probabaly he might have wanted to stay with UTD.
We missed the trick here by playing it hard. Getting more minutes at Dortmund or a better play by Dortmund is BS as you know its more down to agents these days. I think Riola could have convinced him to join us if we decided to give him more leverage in Haaland's next move.
Make the Euros and I think we can create a fuss
Wondering if there's more Pigeon folk lurking on the caf, but I exhausted my amazing resources of typing in 'pigeon' and was spent after you 3. @Damien ?
@Pigeon sounds a lot more sinister than you and @Wonder Pigeon , mind. Like the pigeon you don't wanna meet in a dark alley. The one that gives you pigeons a bad name!
Banned Pigeons
@arsepigeon
@Duncans Pigeon
@Green Pigeon
@pigeonhoey
@Wood Pigeon
You've mentioned the ones that aren't banned.
He doesn't post does he? @Pigeon you better say something because right now we think you might be the thing from The Thing.
pigeon overlord; the Goodfeather!
Right, I'll not sidetrack the thread any more with my pigeon observations!
Because the cnut Raiola added a release clause in the contract terms.
With 2 homegames - and all our key-players in superb form - we really should
7 goals in 20 minutes or not, he still looks like a giant baby.
Honestly, I can see this kid being the best striker on the planet in a few years. I know its a bold claim but he really does have something about him - he's bossing it now in a much better league than the one he came from. Seems a total natural.
At this rate, I can see Madrid making a move from him in a year or two. Too shiney a toy for them to stay away.
He’s incredibly lethal in front of goal, and quite effective in his overall game. Still find it funny there were posters arguing against his speed and technique. Lukaku, I believe many compared him too. The only thing comparable is their hunger: Lukaku’s for food and Haaland’s for goals.
It's Team Haaland and Raoila who were wanting the release clause so you can bet they would not renew in a couple of years. They have a clear plan for him which included going to a decent sized selling club in Germany with a view to getting one or two more moves to eventually end up at Madrid/Barca. This way his development is incremental and Raoila makes more money. Unless he has some real affinity to Utd why would he come to a struggling team who would make it hard for him to leave (apart from the money).
Still bitter about we missing out on him. Feck that fat twunt Raiola
