Before he went to Dortmund, he wanted a release clause to join us. Not even taking into account about his dad, he was probably never going to consider joining us seriously.
Nordic Ghost Yeti (Scandi Carroll) | Haaland at City

It's not even fun.
Why are we insistent on shitting on our players?
Read the title! Erling Haaland. Rashford has nothing to do with it!
Hasn't that been happening anyway? I feel like there's a trend of players beconing more and more athletic in all positions
Obviously the teams ability to create chances is critical. But can’t undervalue how much the striker forms a part of that. I know a cliche but top strikers just know where to be at any time in any situation. He has that.
He’s ok but I’m sure he’ll fizzle out soon.
As a Norwegian I’m having really conflicted feelings about this.
Enjoy while it lasts. EPL needs a superstar for marketing too. It is time for the marketing machine to big him up to help him win the ballon d'or as well. He is a beast physically for a football player.
It just all seems so hollow. No one really gives a shit apart from the bitters.
He's going to destroy PL scoring records
Did you see r9 during his early years?
Power, strength, anticipation. R9 was more talented with the ball at his feet sure but the pure physicality is very similar.
Looks like an adult playing against u15s for most of it.
At what? Playing connect 4?
Let's see how Martinez deals with him first.
So is he "fluid" enough then? Ruud van Nistelrooy was also lethal but people still felt his style held back the team.
his agent wanted it.
He’s a force of nature. A phenomenon.
He’s an exceptional player playing for an exceptional manchester city team and for an exceptional manager.
Even as a man utd fan I’m truly drooling.

This guy. He might get 40 PL goals.
barely anyone gives a shit inside the stadium either. Plastics.
but the service he gets at city will just make him an absolute monster. Tap ins alone will give him 15 goals at least. Two already today.
Lobbying.
Let's hope Madrid are setting aside the cash for the buyout in '24 as we speak.
Exactly how I feel too. FM with cheat mode enabled.
What about Nunez, are you all forgetting he went from Benfica to the big reds *clap clap*

Just simply sublime. Never seen a player like him in the PL he’s just perfect for what City needed.
Not even close to R9. Ridiculous statement.
You look at him uprooting whole forests at City and then you look at our lineup & see Rashford... 
the agony
the agonyCalled it. Where is my prize.
Haaland is just like Shaq in football with pace.
Is it ok to bump it every time he scores a hat trick though?
If really isn’t. In his own way. He’s every bit of dominant.
People can sometimes overrate R9 but just no.
Fecking hell
He'll grow so large it would be problem, one or two years of magic and then he'll be just an average target man.
I mean his goals today are all tap ins. He has a talent like no other to just bloody know where to put himself in the box- phenomenal
Ronaldo was also nowhere near as good at getting in these positions, had nowhere near as good reactions, etc. You can’t just focus on one player’s best qualities and ignore the other’s.
He is unreal. 9 goals in 5 matches playing at this level and in his first season is just insane...
Yep, I did. Even in his early years R9 was a more rounded player. I get that Haaland is a wonderful CF but let's not pretend that he's demonstrated all the tools that R9 did. I do agree that in terms of instinct and power they're similar but as an all rounder atm Haaland is a distance off imo.
Average target men don't possess his anticipation or movement.
I don't like this. I don't like this at all. Please make it stop. Just steal the remote control and turn it off.
