Exactly this. Hilarious looking back in hindsight that we thought we had a chance of getting him here.
Nordic Ghost Yeti (Scandi Carroll) | Haaland at City
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Nah Mpabbe is far more complete
Was it ever reliably reported though?
I keep forgetting how fecking massive he is until every time I see him play.
Haaland is so good in his own rights, he doesn't need to use any skills or tricks to beat a defender, yet, no defender could stop him from scoring goals. No defenders could defend against his strength, pace, movements, and ability to score. He is ultimate bully to any defenders, which makes him even more deadly than Mbappe.
My opinion stays the same, he will be a great goalscorer. Maybe even better than I expected though.
Absolute monster, baring serious injury Haaland is the one striker who has the potential to beat Cristiano Ronaldo records
Will smash it in the Premier League and then move to Madrid within 4 years time

They will have to do without him in spells. That will be the real measure of whether or not he was a good purchase. They shouldn’t have sold Jesus IMO. It will come back to bite them when Haaland inevitably gets injured.
Why would he move?
Unlimited money and off the books benefits allegedly available for him at City.
Also unlimited funds for them to buy players around him.
It has been a farmers league for City for years. They’ll win their 5th in 6 years and widen the gap more next summer.
Never in doubt. He an absolute machine.
The only way he doesn't become an all time legend is if he succumbs to injuries. But lord have mercy what a player.
It's either you or Watzke who are completely wrong on the matter. I wonder who...

Devastating today.
Yes. Mbappe is more complete, but Haaland is a better striker
Both are incredible game changers.Mbappe and Haaland are definitely my choice ahead of Benzema, Kane, Neymar, Lew.
Desire to play in a different league for a historically great club? If he beats all the important records, Shearer's aside, why not? He's already travelled a lot and he's known to always keep options open (hence the release clause even in his current contract with City). Also, who knows where City will be in 5 years — it's not that likely that Pep is going to stay that long, although even without Pep City obviously has the best conditions to remain at the very top.
Totally overrated. Gonna struggle in this league. Won’t get the acres of space he’s used to etc.
I find it very hard to believe Haaland would ever consider United.
League is absolutely wrecked while he + Pep are in it.
One man wrecking ball for PL defences.
Football needs a new weight class for this fecker. I hate that City bought him.
It takes unnatural physical ability to make PL defenders look like U18s . A combination of height, strength, explosiveness, reaction time, that's unseemly. Reminds me of young Brasilian Ronaldo. A real specimen.
Arguably best player in the world now given Messi and Ronaldo's decline.
Lewandowski is still better than him. We'll see how much longer, though
Was at the game today
His movement was great and physically he's so strong and quick he's going to cause massive problems for people
Silva was also great today as well but baring injury haalands gona score crazy numbers

Mane ain't retiring in a couple of years
Well Dortmunds CEO literally said that without Dortmund agreeing to the release clause, he woud have signed for United.
6 goals in 4 games. Micky Quinn scored 10 goals in 6 games to start the PL season in 92/93, the fastest to score 10 goals in a season in the competitions history. Forest and Villa next for City. Forest has allowed 1 goal per game so far, Villa 2.
Is he really about to have more goals then games for City?
This kid is a goal scoring freak.
Obviously his “rival” has always been Mbappe as they both broke into the scene at the same time but he might have just overtaken him for now considering he’s doing it in a real league.

He is 22 years old, in a new league. Give the guy a brake! Yes, he has scored more goals than us. But it’s early days.
The strength is insane on this lad.
Absolute rubbish.
Dortmund's CEO said that as proof he is a great CEO doing a fantastic job. It means nothing.
There was *zero* probability that the son of Haaland would join United instead of City. Why would he? His dad had a terrible history with United. He himself has been a fan of City since he was a kid. And we cannot offer him more money or more trophies.
Again, do you really think City are missing out on CL this year?
He’s not the best player in the world, but he should be one day
Club affiliations are overrated when people talk about footballer's career choices. City weren't in for him at that point, it was between us and Dortmund and we had certainly been able to offer more money than them, but strategic thinking and Raiola made sure that he went to Germany. We obviously didn't have any chance of signing him this summer in a direct competition with City and Pep.
Also, I hope that you're not referring to "Keane ending his father's career" myth when you talk about his "terrible history" with us.
Certainly not yet but it's not hard to imagine him winning a few Ballon d'Ors in a couple of years.
He had a history with Roy Keane. On that note, dad Haaland has since said that he would not mind if Erling joins MUFC back when he was a Salzburg player.
Of course we could offer him money. Not trophies the same way City can right now.
Im not sure why you are so set in your opinion when all parties involved have spoken words that contradict this absolute stance.
Not even the best player at Man City
I honestly think the best trait about him is how he fast he is. I’ve never seen a footballer that tall be so explosive over the first 5-10 yards
