Please Erling, drag us to our first championship spot in twenty years.
Erling Haaland | Dortmund player
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Whats actually his goal total for this past season ?
44
10 goals in 8 matches in CL
13 goals in 16 matches in the Bundesliga
16 goals in 14 matches for Salzburg in the Austrian league
1 goal in 1 match in the DFB cup Germany
4 goals in 1 game in the Austrian cup
Unbelievable player. He really is. He’s like Ronaldo Fenomeno with less skill, but more brute force. We’ll win the World Cup if the lad continues developing like this!!
Blimey 10 cl goals in 8 games with games against liverpool napoli and psg iirc
Could be RM, but Haaland has expressed his desire to play in the PL in the future, and if Ole is still around, I think we have a fair chance of signing him.
The reason why he chose Leipzig - by his own words - was in the end his gut feeling. He said he wanted to go somewhere where he felt wanted by the whole club, not only by the manager. If you look for context - on which his gut feeling may have been formed - we were in a situation where Ole´s position looked somehow unsafe. There was a report claiming that Haaland sought a promise from the club that Ole would not be sacked, but I don´t know if there is anything in that.
What is a fact, however, is that most United fans had seen Haaland in one game only, and that was in the CL game against Liverpool where Haaland had a bad game. So they went on social media, and in here as well, to express their lack of desire of signing him. That could very well be part of the feeling not being wanted by the whole club.
Not being wanted by the whole club - one could speculate - could also be the contract he was offered, without that infamous release clause.
None of those teams can afford him nor will they be able to within the next couple of years.
That´s only if it´s correct that he´s release clause kicks in two years from now. The only source for that is Bilt, and I have not seen this confirmed by any other reliable source.
My fear is City will be in for him next summer as a replacement for Aguero. I'll be absolutely gutted if that happens. Hopefully, Bayern buy him as Lewandowski's successor!
It's already 1 year in. It activates next year. Football's not gonna be played in front of crowds until 2022. The Spanish creditors are not lending anymore.
He reminds me of Christian Vieri in his prime but with more pace.
In two years, allegedly ( seach for it, and you´ll see that´s the info circulating on the nett).
We made it very easy for him tonight unfortunately
Probably a lot of truth in what you speculate, especially on media fuelled OGS uncertainty at the time.
Imagine having Rashford Martial, Haaland, Greenwood and Sancho as an attacking unit?!
Might have to sell one to keep them all happy.

That would be tasty!
Thinking hypothetically, would you swap Martial and Greenwood for Sancho and Haaland? It would make an interesting vote and I'd imagine very split opinions! I've still not been able to make my mind up!
His dad explained it a few months ago. He said Ole was the only one that really wanted to sign him, there wasn't a collective effort from the club. At the time Ole's future was in serious doubt and they didn't want to move to a club with a potential managerial change. Uncertainty at the club is never good for a young player's development, especially for a teenager moving to the toughest league in the world.

The second point is also an interesting one. Project and direction is important when players make their decisions. That's why it's vital that we get Sancho this window. Not only because he'd improve us massively but the knock-on effect is massive. We'd send a serious message to all young players that we're on the right path and this indeed is the place to be.
For those who watched the match. Paddy McNair as an AM?
Am I the only one who thought he was Finnish?
I think Ole was scared to sign him as the norwegians he signed at Cardiff strongly contributed to him failing.
I did find that strange!! But then later in the highlights he was one of the 3 centre backs!
I'm sure we all agree with you, he's got a great finish!
Second striker in the first half, CB in the second.
Played there in youth teams but feck knows why he got picked there now.
At least he took his goal well. I was happy to see him come up, but that was unexpected.
This is the player Ole should have moved heaven and earth to sign. Top class talent.
Tbf he tried. Harland chose Dortmund over United.
Should have moved heaven and earth to get this guy at United. He was terrifying against NI tonight.
He would have transformed our team. Suspect he ends up replacing Aguero at City

Is that the former United defender Mc Nair playing as striker?
The only one he reminds me of is the NFL player Gronkowski. I’ve never seen a footballer with that physicality/pace combination before.
Yes he started off as a second striker and got moved back to CBHe is at the right club for him. When he is ready for a move there will be a lot of big bids and I expect Bayern , United, Chelsea and perhaps Real to he chasing him.
And by that point we will have a more developed Grenwood. Interesting times because quite different players despite both love scoring goals.
Not sure he tranforms our team at the moment though. Young player. Still developing. And we need to develop our all around play.
If we got sancho I think we’d have a better chance of bringing in haaland and other top prospects. Go at it that way. We are the next stop for top young players breaking through. Haaland, Upamecano, Camavinga. World class ability. Will the glazers pay the money? Maybe, probably not. I wonder did we mess up the last deal badly? This guy is what we thought we were buying when we went for lukaku. A bully who’s fast, strong, can get onto things and has great finishing. He reminds me of Ruud. He just lives for goals.

A very good chance? You are already through
Games like Sevilla, when we are dominant and playing great football but can't get the goal? I reckon Haaland changes the game even as a young player. That's what we are really missing upfront.
When he does leave Dortmund you are right, every top club will be desperate to sign him
Ansu Fati, Sancho , Haaland, Carmavinga these 4 will be a dream and our team will be sorted for next 10 years !!
I don't think I've seen anyone with his confidence and composure in front of goal at such a young age. Going to be an animal.
Benzema, Greizmann,Aguero,Lewandowski, Icardi / Mbappe /Neymar all could leave in next couple of years.
That release clause is going to be so damn cheap.
