And made him another Pellestri or Amad.
Nordic Ghost Yeti (Scandi Carroll) | Haaland at City
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Surely not even our clowns could damage him
Well I'm glad these ridiculous "but he can only score so many goals in the Bundesfarmersleague because they can't defend" takes are gone after just 3 matches.
Exactly.
I still view Sancho as a pure Bundesliga player.
He didn't break his leg, didn't Haaland play the rest of that game? He also retired due to a different injury
To be fair, so far he has only played in a pretty poor and dysfunctional team. Still lots of potential for improvement all around.
Everyone gets called out individually in our team whilst Sancho gets called out for having a poor team.
Like VDB.Anyway let’s see. This time next year people should in theory lose some loving kindness.
What an excuse from Dortmund
. And you believe it?His agent wanted a release clause (as low as 50m) plus agent fee, otherwise Haaland would have never gone to Dortmund. They knew from the beginning they were just his stepping stone.
Dortmund was Raiola's bitch
I believe it was an important factor, and I believe Ole at one point was convinced Haaland would come to us. I think this "Haaland would never join United", is absolutely bollocks.What an excuse from Dortmund

Dortmund was Raiola's bitch
There also have been reports that Haaland would have come to play for Ole again, but wasn't convinced Ole would keep his job for long and what his status would be under a new manager. That's part of why he wanted a release clause, to have an emergency exit iin case things went wrong (as they did...)
Is he currently at 1.5 goals a game??
Is he currently at 1.5 goals a game??
Is he breaking Salah's record this season?
Has a chance clearly
Shearer and Cole got 34 in a longer season
Wouldn't rule that out
And shearer took 124 games to get 100 goals... again wouldn't rule that out within 3 seasons
Lukaku is the youngest to 100 goals ...even that could be in danger
Assuming he gets no signifigant Injury
We're too proud and stuck with our romantism.
Dortmunt did what any sensible football club would do
The fitness is the question mark against it, i reckon he'll score around the goal a game mark.
I wouldn't even be worried about the minutes, him playing for 20 minutes against a tired defence is a scary prospect.
Do you think Alfe Inge Haaland is City through and through after 38 games for them? Likewise Erling?
Do you think they both harbour a vendetta against Manchester United?
Still he has no logical nor romantic reason to join united. It's not like we're a good team with chances to win trophies
Fair point. Still, when you are in a 'studs on face' scenario, you are generally leaning into a red card, as long as the head is in a natural position.
Yeah because it would have been much better if he had left United for City this season for a pittance. The fanbase would have loved that.
He never said that, stop spouting more nonsense after being told you're clearly wrong.
It's like listening to someone who only gets their football news from Sports Bible.
Header, tap in, and one show of force. Sandwiched in between two defenders and he just hammers it in, what can you say.
Which previous players would you compare him to? His combination of strength, speed and finesse reminds me of Drogba a bit, his movement and running style of Torres.

Dortmund was Raiola's bitch
Dortmund was his bitch? They got a good deal for both parties. He scored tons of goals for them and they made a profit. He developed very well while there. Win win for both parties although the prize for Dortmund was smaller than it could have been. Dortmund know they arent a elite club who can keep their best players. They are run well but just dont have the money to keep their best players. Doesnt make them Raiola's bitch.
If we had signed him with that release clause and then he joined City this summer I wonder what the response would have been when we played them.
Figo at Madrid type anger as a minimum, pigs heads galore.
Wasn't there a motorbike thrown on in Serie A at some point as well?

That’s a you problem. If Sancho is at City, he’d have a thread on our front page about how great he is and how the glazers made us miss out on a big talent.
Hard to be great in a continuously and chronically dysfunctional team. Fingers crossed ETH changes all that, but it won’t be easy.
Yes. If he plays 35 games he'll score 40+ in the PL
Yes but it had nothing to do with players. Basically intra-fighting among ultras over drug deals
I suppose the propaganda about the PL being the greatest in the world is pump out night and day in our media, so it's bound to have an effect in some quarters. The fact Real knocked out Chelsea, City and Liverpool en route to winning the Champs League undermines that theory somewhat.
I agree with others that were saying perhaps some were more hoping than believing that Haaland wouldn't suit City's tika-taka style, but he is just too good.
I agree that people tend to overrate the PL, but Haaland is also the main striker in one of the best teams in the world if not the best. He gets plenty of service. It doesn't make him a lesser of a player though, I never doubted that he would smash it here.
Every player and every manager is eventually 'worked out' by opposition teams in the PL. It could take half a season or a couple of seasons. The solutions might not completely help, e.g. Pep keeps winning the league, but there is progression. That's what makes this league better than all the others. Certainly much better than Bundesliga.
Klopp's rock and roll football for example has been exposed enough after initial successes. Salah on his left foot has been sussed after being the current best striker in the PL (going by him holding the PL record).
Haaland has many strengths but also quite obvious weaknesses too. If stopping City mainly means stopping Haaland (because Sterling and Jesus' pace is no longer the threat from KdB's through balls) then teams will start working this out soon enough. In the meantime, during this honeymoon period, Haaland looks like the virgin bride everyone wants to lay. Rightfully so.

Let's flips this, if your child had the chance of signing for:
Liverpool
City
Chelsea
It's not just that, its unconscious bias
I don't even know what sport bible is,
Are you sad that City have a really good striker?
Are you one of them fans that follows players on social media? Like Neymar and stuff.
Just trying to understand why your so bitchy.
I'm really not arsed about about getting stuff wrong. It happens all the time.
Sickening as it is, Haaland is the proto-typical prem striker. He’ll be the face of the league for the next decade, so we best get used to his shit-eating grin now. The ultra talented prick.
He's got to be ugliest face of the PL ever.
Good thing he'll be off to Spain once Benzema and/or Lewa call it a day
In general if EPL clubs （not just the top 6) pay the highest salary in the industry, they will have the best players and best coaches.
I didn't mean the pl was overrated in terms of being the best but more the derogatory way of talking about leagues that aren't the pl.
Couple posters told me he won’t work in their system. Couple others said he wouldn’t make them better. One even said I would have to be crazy if I thought he would score more than 18 in his first year.
Yeah…..
Yeah…..
Just a hopeful wish. Haaland is built like a beast with tremendous pace for a striker.
