There is so much wrong with this post, and since I have some time on my hands I’ll adress some of it.I have intentionally not replied to this thread after being castigated for having the nerve to suggest that Haaland should not be a priority for us, since it would hamper Greenwoods development and even force the club to send him on loan. While also removing investment from where its really needed: in midfield.
With some Swedish jibes thrown in as well. Its very much the Caf this thread so I dont really mind.
The "hate" against Haaland after his performance yday is as stupid as the posters on here claiming that Haaland reaches a top speed of 35 km/h plus after 20 meters already. If the latter was even remotely true, he is practising the wrong sport because he would feck Usain Bolt himself up. I dont know if anyone watching the game yday saw this athletic superman that has been projected in this thread
Haaland is a very exciting and promising player, but he is nowhere near proven enough to be anything by second fiddle to Martial should he arrive at United. Which would mean a new plan for Greenwood, who held his own and then some against City on the Etihad as the sole #9.
The money Haaland would cost is better invested elsewhere in the squad.
Performing in a completely inferior league like the Austrian one, having some very good performances in the champions league while not performing for his national team (for whatever reason) reminds me a lot of Fred tbf.
And believe me: there will be a new Haaland soon, we cant just buy every exciting player on the market as soon one emerges, disregarding the composition of our squad. If we were to buy a new #9 now at Haalands age or thereabout. it should be a generational talent like Mbappe.
And sorry, Haaland is not even close to that. Yet.
There have been a lot of stories in the Scandinavian papers about Raoila advising him to go to the "bigger" Leipzig or a club like Dortmund and wait one or two years for a move to one of the really big clubs in Europe. Which of course would be great for Raiolas own pockets, since it would be two transfers instead of one, but in this case he is probably not wrong.
First bolded part: Rubbish! Also, you’ve intentionally not replied since yesterday? Wow! The dicipline! Not wanting him because you see other priorities is fair. You’ve been pulled up because you’ve spouted some absolute crap. Like how you’ve watched him a lot and compared his explosiveness with Lukaku, which leads to...
Second bolded part: It was measured to 36km/h actually, over about 30 m or so.
Third bolded part: So now you’re doing the exact same thing you’re criticising others for in this very same post? Judging by one single game.. He was well handled yesterday and wasn’t able to showcase his top speed or acceleration this game.
Fourth bolded part: Greenwood didn’t play a second vs City.
Fifth bolded part: He hasn’t played for Norway the last two breaks because of injury and illness, and thus wasn’t even part of the squads. A little difficult to perform then, no? This part I spesifically remember you being explained earier in the thread, so what’s the point of bringing it up again?
Just pipe down and give it a rest won’t you please. You’re starting to look like an agenda poster.
