Does he have a release clause in his City contract ?
Nordic Ghost Yeti (Scandi Carroll) | Haaland at City
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
You can take the boy out of the Bundesliga
First time since Messi vs Bayer Leverkusen I think. Germans do love to set this record.5 goals in a CL knockout tie
whats a forwards main job?
If no major injuries and he still plays for top clubs (no reason not to) then he could explode all the goalscoring records possible for him
He probably has it in his contract, but if he is happy at the club then it makes zero difference.
To press and cut the passing lane of the CBs some will say. haha
track back and keep possession in your half to relieve the team of pressure.
Burnt out. See: Owen
He‘s not going anywhere for the foreseeable
Nah, they're built differently.
Doubt that ….he doesn’t exactly run his nuts off
Unless he falls out with Pep. Hopefully he was only smiling on the bench because he hadn't googled the CL record yet.
Pressing!
Messi called Pep at half time telling him to sub Haaland before he broke his record 
Agreed, that’s always a possibility ….wrong end of a Pep meltdown etc
Boring Pep denied him a record tonight I reckon.
Sometimes Redcafe insists its pressing and being a targetman, not scoring
You'll find several by looking at their international tournament record, which is one of the things their respective fans keep hammering each other with.
C. Ronaldo also, despite being Mister CL himself, went missing in a couple of CL finals.
Unstoppable force.
Shaw will take care of him again at Wembley.
Meh, not entirely true but fair enough. Doesn't change the fact Messi has had his stinkers in CL too, even in his prime. Inter in 2010, missing the penalty against Chelsea in 2012, both ties against atletico in '14 and '16...
Ferdinand is spot on there. (If you are watching BT sports)
When you have Haaland in your team, just play to his strengths. Play the balls over the top, he will beat the opposition for pace, he will outmuscle their defenders. Slow build up play in not his game. Tonight they played his way and you saw the result. Similar to the derby at their place, they tried to play him in at every opportunity and scored everytime.

As a Norwegian is difficult not to like him. He is a force
It's just kind of boring. Their owners pumped enough money into the club to let it buy literally any player at all, and now they're reaping the "rewards." Yay. What a story. What a legacy. Meh.
It remains a fact that the club is literally nothing whatsoever except that it has been made the sportswashing vessel for a human rights nightmare. That is the sum total of City.
It's impressive what Håland is capable of. In no conceivable way does that compliment extend to Manchester City as a whole.

Where's that weirdo who was obsessive in his hatred of Haaland, and assured us Alvarez would be taking his spot any day now?
Can't knock his stats but he lacks something to the football purists. Even RvN was 'just a poacher' but was miles better technically when you look at hold up play and variety of finishes and goals. Haaland seems to have an incredible ability to sense and anticipate chances, sort of an Inzaghi with the size and pace to get on the end of passes and crosses. He strikes the ball well with both feet, but not particularly special for a top striker. Doesn't have the fear factor of Thierry Henry, the play doesn't go through him like Benzema. He will do ridiculous numbers but City aren't obviously elevated by him in the team.
Crazy to think that R9 only scored 14 CL goals in his career. Haaland is already on 33
Typical striker goals, he could have games like that every week in the league if Pep just embraced what a cyborg he is.
Yes, he can go to toilet only three times a day.
I honestly think Pep actually didn't want him to break that record.Messi called Pep at half time telling him to sub Haaland before he broke his record
He's like the player you make in fifa when you're 12 and make them 6 foot 6 and 99 pace and shot and just do lobbed through balls and score loads.
He doesn't have the wow factor. I'd rather watch Mbappe for example over him every time. He's just not exciting, football is about goals and he's ruthless, yet it just doesn't get the blood pumping.
Obviously pressing, working hard and holding up the ball.
(Sorry everyone for being mean, I love Weggy and his passion)
I kinda feel Haaland would have had Ronaldo's success if he replaced R9 in all his teams
Imagine where we'd be with this lad. Damn shame we couldn't get him.
Yes, it's a shame only Ole wanted him when he played for Salzburg. As crazy as it may sound i think he'd fit in better at United - and that's not a dig at City's play style.
Anyone questioning why Pep would take off Haaland needs to go look at the career of Derrick Rose for the Chicago Bulls! Why play a player when a game is already won?
