Agreed and Haaland has higher outputs at his age than Messi, Ronaldo did but then again Ronaldo and Messi were incredible to watch. Haaland I think has a very good chance of beating their goal records though since he's a striker and Messi / Ronaldo were wingers up until they hit the age of 30ish.

Everything depends on the CL. They have no opposition for PL, so the CL is the only difference between having him and not.
Kevin de BryneOur media is beyond cringe deluxe.
Oh man, I couldn’t finish that. I hate this tendency in Norwegian media.
He’s the best player in the world isn’t he? Me and my roomies always bet on him to score and then spend the money going out drinking, it’s a free money glitch in real life
I felt a bit bad blaming the Dortmund keeper for both goals but i'm glad everyone else is
Anyway, this guy is going is going to get 40+ goals in his first season.

Haha way to stick to your guns, I’ll give ya that. What an absurd post. “He keeps winning them matches, just not in the way I am convinced footballers should be winning them though” its embarrassing, really.
He scores more goal in a month than martial does in two seasons. Insane
It's what a classical center forward does or used to do. The game evolved and this profile of player was gradually obsoleted at the very top level for more well rounded players, however in the case of a physical and reactional freak such as Haaland , the benefit of having this type of player outweighs heavily the drawbacks.
I’m sure he’ll lose sleep at night over this despite being on course to break all kinds of records
dude isn't human
tbf Dortmund played very well. City only won with superstar' moments.

That's the goat triumvirate in football. You're essentially arguing that because Haaland won't go down as one of the consensus top 3 greatest players ever, that he'll be disappointed or will be a disappointment.
Not everyone can be a Messi, Maradona, or a Pele. Going down in the 2nd, 3rd, or 4th tier of all time greats definitely isn't a disappointment. It's a remarkable achievement for someone who doesn't possess the skillset that the players you mentioned do.
He can go down as a top 10 player ever if he lives up to his potential and stays away from injuries.
Such predictable reactions from a lot of posters. I hate the fact he’s at City, but he’s a kid producing magic and unparalleled numbers in the almighty PL and CL. Just try to let your bitterness go, and grow the feck up. You’ll be happier for it in the long run
Amazing footballer, I want to hate him but cant. Well, until he destroys us, then I'll cry into my pillow.
He's there because we had the wrong people in charge when leaving Molde & Salzburg. Sadly the ship sailed by the time he was leaving Dortmund.
He was their missing link. Brilliant signing.
There's all sorts of stories like that going around.
Back in the late 70's City were implored to sign Ian Rush from Chester by an ex City player who was his manager.
We put in an offer of 50m for Mbappe when he was about 17 and playing at Monaco but it was turned down.
Just gotta move on and find the next one.
Easy for you to say that isn't it when he's your absolute goal scoring machine. Let's face it no one else around can provide that sort of return which equals danger for the rest of us.

I definitely hate him but dont want to admit it. I'm going to pretend he doesn't exist for a couple of years and hope he goes away.
You can’t be serious…
Makes a nice change from everything being about United or Liverpool, which was all they wrote about english football before Haaland
Hard not to feel despondent at any other striker when you see him banging in goals continously.
Yep, think while he's around, Liverpool won't be hitting 19 for a while. Glass half full and all that
Danger for the rest of us ?
Are you talking about the potential scoring records of Haaland?
If so I don’t remember many complaints about United’s additions of the likes of Cole and van Nistelrooy to teams who were already ahead of the pack.
Not to mention the attempts to get Shearer and Batistuta.
umm, isn’t the poster you’re replying to just saying Haaland is very, very good?
Coley & Ruud weren't even as ruthless
I think right now he is the best player in the world. I don’t care if people disagree because he can’t dribble or what. Truth is, in terms of being the most outstanding in his role, he does it better than anyone else.
Yeah and could have been ours if we got him after Molde/Salzburg,try as I might I can't shake that feeling and someone's head at the club should have rolled for messing it up.
Why does this thread become active everyone he scores? The obsession is a bit weird. Guy scores goal > need to post in halaand thread
Fack him to the moon. Cannot stand him. He's too damn good. What a finish tonight.
I cannot believe that City have him. It sucks so much.
Yeah and we face him on Oct 2,jesus
Well, most of the times he's breaking records when he nets one or scoring goals like he did today. Weird not to mention it at this point.
I think some enterprising journalist should research his origin story … Was he created in a lab? As a child was he subjected to gene enhancing experiments that are only legal if performed in independent ocean waters? Did his father find him in the wreckage of an alien ship?
And I just read an article about OGS contacting United about him long before he joined Salzburg - specifically, he told Butt to sign him ASAP. Either Butt declined or the higher-ups did .
Pretty sure he was raised on that space base from Moonraker.
Just hearing this makes me feel utterly gutted
"I'm here to criticize the repressive regime of the United Arab Emirates and score goals, and I'm now contractually forbidden from speaking of UAE in a negative light."
Majin Buu also looked undefeated until Goku showed him whos boss.
My guess is he'll get completely destroyed by Martinez the next time they meet. Its destiny.

Reminds me of when I used to hate/love thierry henry.
You can't help but admire them. feck sake.
