Hard to sneeze at a 22 year old coming in and snatching that record with ease in his first PL season.
Definitely showed that he’s got more than a finishing touch today.

Nordic Ghost Yeti (Scandi Carroll) | Haaland at City
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Even though he only scored 1 and should have had 2 or 3, probably his best performance all round for us. When teams push up he's a real out ball and allows us to play on the break alot more.
He's a dam fine striker, but, by feck is the poor guy ugly. Like, really ugly, someone only a mother could love ugly.
This is the best I’ve seen him in terms of participating in the buildup play and taking on defenders. Definitely added another dimension, albeit against some weak defending.
Yet he probably shags who he wants
Why oh why can City manage to grab such a top notch striker while we're stuck with shit like Sancho and Weghorst ?
Beyond world class. A player without equal in the current landscape.
Really?
I am not sure. Would you let him shag you if he wanted to?
Yeah, why ? We have the money. Why do we pay loads for overhyped shit players why they manage to grab such players ? Even Grealish whom we mocked looks a world beater in comparison to a clown like Sancho.
Would you if he promised to join United next season?
Yes
Ironically, if he had performed like this all season, he wouldn't have been hyped up as much. It's goals that get him his hype.
Tough to say but he is a class act!!
When you are rich and famous it doesn't matter if you are ugly.
He could get more women than most good looking guys with normal income.
Because Solskjaer who managed Haaland didn't beg the club to sign him even though he was clearly one of the most talented strikers of our time.
He did, but it was Haaland (and/or his agent) who thought that United's board is a bunch of clowns and the club therefore was not to be trusted to develop Haaland the right way.
Why are we suddenly talking about haaland banging people and being ugly or not?!
By all accounts we had two chances to sign him, if it wasn't for incompetence/hubris respectively; Dortmund if anything were a better bet for his development at that time and to win trophies, yet they were still prepared to permit the release clause because they competently judged the position form which they were negotiating. In another time-fork, he improves us sufficiently that season that we win at least one trophy and we're able to sell the prospect of a much larger release clause.
Of course, the chain of same decision-making that led to his rejecting us also went into selecting Ole as perm manager, into the other (incoherent) recruitment structure decisions that weakened the team and so forth, so maybe we still never win that trophy and he still leaves for City (or Madrid, if we manage to agree a City exemption to the clause etc)...

I was one of those worried about Martial's development when we were linked. Sorry guys
At the end of the day its his goals that will decide how succesful we are, but when teams are pressing the life out of us, it's nice to know he has this in his game
Didn't even realize he broke the 38 game PL record. He could hit 40 between now and the end of the season.
Every goalkeeper is scared.
Those people in the beginning of the season who said he was going to be a handful and something we haven't seen in this league for a very long time or ever, have been proven correct.
He's just a physical beast with the top top instincts and ability of a pure CF. Fair play to him.

It’s the first time in months that I have entered this thread. His record doesn’t surprise me, it’s what I expected when they signed him.
I am actually here to ask if Madrid would even be interested or would he be too ugly for them?

Some of you protesting too much.
Can't wait until he fecks off back to Pandora
copium
Not really. You won the league last season without a striker and the reason you lost to Madrid was not because of lack of goals but poor defending.
Modric's success at Madrid suggests that the club are willing to look past a fellow being unattractive if he's world class on the pitch, so I'm gonna say yeah.
You'd let him put the tip in, in fairness.
He is just insane and scores the amount of goals I expected of him in that City team.
I cant deny im also a bit happy he puts these "Bundesliga tax" naysayers to rest.
Im curious how long he will stay at City though. I think Real will bid an insane amount of money for him this or next summer.

We don't have anything like the money! Nor would they if what he was actually being paid was fully declared and bound to the strictures of FFP.
there were quite a number of people here worrying more about Martial development back then to be fair.Come on Real Madrid, this guy can be your Benzema for the next decade. Take him
Is it me or has he developed his build up play. These last 3 games I've seen he's done well in that department. The ball to KdB for the first was a peach.
We spent 80m on Casemiro and more than 70m on Antony, in one summer.
He's from Leeds so probably sheep
