As a norwegian I have absolutely no positive feelings about this.As a Norwegian I’m having really conflicted feelings about this.

Well he’s already among the pantheon of greats at City, with the likes of Benjani, Shaun Goater and Joey Barton.
Grew up as a City fan though. Could well be his final destination as there is no reason for City to sell and they can match any salary thrown after him. I don't think he is going to leave any time soon.
Just hope he fancies moving around a bit. Some do and some don’t.Grew up as a City fan though. Could well be his final destination as there is no reason for City to sell and they can match any salary thrown after him. I don't think he is going to leave any time soon.
Those are rookie numbers, Ole put 4 past this lot in just 10 minutes
Which one is the real Famers' league now
He has a release clauseGrew up as a City fan though. Could well be his final destination as there is no reason for City to sell and they can match any salary thrown after him. I don't think he is going to leave any time soon.
No goals in the second half, form dropping like a stone.
Those are rookie numbers, Ole put 4 past this lot in just 10 minutes
He's got a release clause at city hes blatantly going in 2/3 years, 150mill euro and with the way his stats are that will be considered a bargain price.
Agree. At the same time I feel the CB position has developed a lot when it comes to demands and reguired skills. Maybe the position which requirements have increased the most the last 10-20y. Today CBS have to be speedy, robust and technical ballcarriers and passers; much more complete compared with Tony Adams, Steve Bruceand that most PL CB's however tall aren't nearly up to the task in terms of acceleration, agility, etc. Those attributes could be more prioritised in future.
This doesn't make sense. Haaland is a freak athlete, stated time and time again and being rubber stamped in the bestest league in the omniverse - you simply don't get many of them amongst humans, irrespective of sport.I think it's clear that there are real differences in levels of athleticism that Haaland is making quite apparent here, and that most PL CB's however tall aren't nearly up to the task in terms of acceleration, agility, etc. Those attributes could be more prioritised in future.
Just imagine how all PL clubs are recruiting 7ft tall one-eyed ogres that can stop himIn all seriousness I think he could force some tactical and personnel changes. It almost reminds me of Shaq keeping 7ft 280lb dudes that couldn't play in the NBA for 10 years during his prime. We might see monster athlete defenders becoming more prioritised than ever as Haaland-stoppers.
This hasn't been reported by anyone reliable. Don't pin your hopes on him leaving over the next decade.He has a release clause
I wish people would stop saying this.This is genuinely a paradigm shift for centre forward play.
Plays in an exceptional team and he is an exceptional talent.
Will smash every goal scoring record there is.
R9 levels of talent right now
As a non city fan, Shaun is the only one there who deserves legendary status.Well he’s already among the pantheon of greats at City, with the likes of Benjani, Shaun Goater and Joey Barton.
Depressing as hell. I don't even want to watch football anymore.It's not fair
It's not insane, CL football participation was very different then. There was a tweet somewhere that put it into context that if CR7 for example played under the rules R9 did to qualify for the CL, he wouldn't have had even half the season he had in the competition.I havent checked the numbers but arent Haaland scoring way more than R9?
I think Haaland already surpased Ronaldos all time CL scoring. Which is insane.
Shades of R9 about this. Genuine physical freak combined with first class movement and finishing. Just lacks a bit of Ronaldo's skill.

City might as well start working on his statue
Yeah.It's not insane, CL football participation was very different then. There was a tweet somewhere that put it into context that if CR7 for example played under the rules R9 did to qualify for the CL, he wouldn't have had even half the season he had in the competition.
Mbappe is that full package
Yeah but he's ugly.
When it comes to scoring goals. Haaland seems better. Yeah R9 had step overs, but Haaland is a scoring freak.Nope and neither is Haaland.
Brazilian Ronaldo was on whole another planet compared to these two.
The difference is a basketball court is way smaller than a football pitch.In all seriousness I think he could force some tactical and personnel changes. It almost reminds me of Shaq keeping 7ft 280lb dudes that couldn't play in the NBA for 10 years during his prime. We might see monster athlete defenders becoming more prioritised than ever as Haaland-stoppers.
Yeah, at feeding the hungry.Rashford is better than him.
Haaland is playing lower quality opposition than R9 with the expanded field. Might be interesting to remove the easy games and see how many Haaland scored then.Yeah.
R9 had 40 games. 14 goals.
Haaland is kinda crushing that.
