What's new

Erling Haaland

That guy is a monster. At first you would argue whether he is the right fit for their style but I think he is smart enough to adapt. City score tons of goals from crosses. He can be at the end of them. He is a beast. 

City buying Grealish was a bit weird and so far it has not being a match but you never know how long it takes to adapt to new surroundings. It is not fair to say after just one season if he is a flop or not. 

I would think Liverpool would be the best match for Haaland in terms of style of football. 

Remains to be seen whether he is a success story but I feel he will be. He is just so driven and physically a beast. Also a personality that seems to be levelheaded. This is why I also believe Kai will have a brilliant Future with us. He is just a humble boy that is super talented and driven player.

 
The more we live in Man-City’s shadow the more I really start to think what could have been under Roman, City are doing it all bigger and better, philosophy wise, planning wise, you name it. When they’ve finally got their hands on the UCL we can’t really say much. Just hope under Boehly we can ‘do a Liverpool’, because nobody can compete with the state owned clubs on this level.

The quality of football has dropped off in the German league, their teams were way off in the CL this year, so i'm still dubious to how good he will perform over here, the EPL has a lot of teams that will sit deep and frustrate him, from what i have seen of him his best play comes from having space, he can be sure that he won't get the space he gets in Germany over here, of course he could get on the end of everything city produce and score a sh*t load of goals, it remains to be seen.

Nah its still better than the italian league which was talked up before lukaku was purchased and it shows with the likes of havertz who's on another planet compared to lukaku

Interesting to know if he considers City a big club. Or is it down to the big wages?  Hope he likes the City bench.

He made it clear he did not see us as a big club and had no interest in considering us. He was a none starter for us.

I would not be surprised if he spends the next 4 to 7 years at City before moving on to Real or Barca.

A while back Haaland did an interview talking about where he saw his next career move being. He did not name Chelsea but named a few sides. He also referenced us later as being at the same level as dortmund and wanting every move he makes to be a step up.

 
I don’t think we can even blame the board for this one. Guy didn’t want to be here, even when we were European Champions

urgh, I must have missed this because chelsea bid for him and got rebuttled so they went for lukaku but if he really actually binned us off and said were the uk dortmund then you can fogive that it just stings because not only is it a big loss for us but its also a huge win for city, like titsomi or whatever his name if he goes to the bin diving mob!

Need to hit up transfer market soon and look at our options, We have some good prospects but crying out for some jazz in the squad

All the scouts do is line up the tuna's, Its the suits who decide which to buy,Interesting times ahead

Interesting he thinks City is a big club but not us.  Pep regularly benched Aguero one of the best strikers the premier league has ever seen.  Wonder if Haaland will see the same treatment and how will he deal with it.

While we did win the CL AFTER he made those comments I believe, I think is the fact City have won 3 of the last 4 titles. 

Huge pay packet does not hurt, nor does the fact his dad played for them and as a boy he had City stuff, and lastly them not being the final step of his well laid out career plans.

I think this is unfair on what we achieved under Abramovich. When it comes to money, City are on a whole different level. Abramovich put us in a position where we could compete, but we couldn't go and spend hundreds of millions on duds and go and spend another £100m the following season, City have done this multiple times, especially under Guardiola. The guy has bought a whole new defence multiple times at this point and he's only been there 6 years. Another thing worth mentioning is how much FFP is effecting every club financially. City and PSG are finding a way around it whilst every other club has to sell before they go and spend massive on a single player.

 
I dont think he will be as good as he was/is for Dortmund.  Honestly.  

And yes, I'd still take Salah over him

How the f**k can any player in the modern era think City are a big club and not Chelsea.  He must have as many brain cells as City have CL's

We were in the CL when City were battling in the first division as it was back then

Like how many professed that lukaku was the man for us?!

Even costa played however to score goals, Its a debunked theory and belongs on football manager not irl

For every player you name that 'can play in any system', another player can quite easily be names that can't. 

It isn't a debunked theory as you so confidently put.
