Better than being a bunch of green and gold scarf waving cnuts who can't even keep sustained pressure on owners who have allowed United to fall from Tier 1 of European football to Tier 3 in terms of attractiveness.
I can't believe Neymar is 30 years old but has only 42 goals. Considering some of the teams he has played for and the talent he has, I'd put him in the same category as Adriano/Robinho/Luis Fabiano who failed to maximize their talents. He may be a better player than them but he has underperformed expectations. Maybe SAF was right when he once said "The ability to work hard is also a talent!"
If you calculate his salary per goal I wouldn't be surprised if he would actually be a bargain for a PL striker.
Pretty sure it was 12 games in a row no? He broke our Ruud Van Nistelrooy's 11 games in a row.
Agreed, so I try to avoid reading or thinking about it!
But still. Whenever my attention is directed at the ludicrous sums going round in modern professional football, I'm just disgusted. There can be no justification whatsoever for a footballer to take home this kind of money.
After 3 more CL seasons, I bet he will be in the top-10, at 7th place. Then he will enter his peak at the age of 25 and mow down those in front of him. By 32 he will have hit 100 CL goals and from then on it will just be a countdown to Ronaldo's record. Somehow I can't see Mbappe outdoing Haaland in pure scoring.
No, the [9] is just a reference to the source. Copying the Wikipedia table to this forum messes the formatting up.
It’s a copy/paste from Wikipedia. The 9 is just a reference to where they got the stat from.
Scoring goals.
It wouldn't raise eyebrows in madrid no. It would at barcelona now because of their finances, but in good times, consider they paid Messi twice that. Neymar was on around 30 million a year too iirc
Limitations interms of approach play. He is a fantastic out and out striker but he needs a strong team behind him to feed him.
As do most strikers,
I'm a football fan above anything, I fecking love the game.
Yeah it pains that he's doing it for them, but he's sublime and I'm thankful that I get to see player like Ronaldo, Messi and Haaland as they are truly elite players.
Ultimately players like Haaland should motivate every young striker playing football to emulate him, which can only be a good thing as it eventually raises the bar and gives us another elite players who will break the records.
If he was playing for Liverpool however, now that's a different story altogether
Wasn't asking permission
That is true. I rate Messi and CR7 higher as football players because of their technique, but Haaland is extremely good and efficient as a striker. He doesn't do anything fancy, he can't really dribble with the ball, has zero built up play, just put the ball in the back of the net.
I don't want to involve in speculation about his salary, but for a player with his unique skill sets, £51m transfer fee is a steal.So he’s on 900k per week and according to Romano has a release cause.
Not such a steal at ‘£51m’ after all really? And that’s not even mentioning the obscure monies to his dad.
Yes. Made up, 100%
I've never been particularly fond of Lukaku at any age.
