Erling Haaland

[Messi38]

It's odd that he's not that good in the air despite his height. It seems to be one of his few weaknesses. I haven't seen him score many headers, if any at all really.

I read on here that he’s apparently putting in the hours on his heading. Not sure how accurate that is, but he seems to have that Ronaldo trait where he dedicates a ridiculous amount of time to become the best he can be.

Didn't he score a header yesterday?

Club that agrees to Raiola More will sign him

That will stand him in good stead then. Good to hear his he has the right attitude as would hate to see him waste his talent.

He's one of the most exciting youngsters since Brazilian Ronaldo imo.

I dunno, I didn't watch them play yesterday. I was asleep. Either way he will improve it. Ronaldo is a top header of the ball but he wasn't when he was 19.

Yes, see page 155.

Yes, see page 155.

Great header but to be fair I was more impressed with the ball manipulation in tight spaces before the goal. He is a good technical player.

I've only seen a few clips of him but what I have seen is very impressive.

 

[Messi38]

Yeah the comments on his looks were harsh and I deeply regret getting involved.

Will probably stop slagging off Fernandes's looks as well, we all should. It's not really right to insult others' appearances, even if they have terrible personalities (which i don't think Haaland does).

 

[ayia napa blues]

If they buy sancho they’ll be helping us buy haaland!

Surely dortmund wouldn't sell both in the same summer window ?

Both clubs could help each other as well by not bidding on the other thus driving up the price

 

[mccity]

I wonder how his goals record would change from moving into the PL?

I'm sure he'd still put up really good numbers, but I'm hesitant to believe any goalscoring record coming from the German league is replicable.

And this is the major major negative for me. No matter how good he is I would avoid signing anyone with Raiola as their agent.

Why? If it’s beneficial to the club to sign a player then it shouldn’t matter who we deal with. Just get it done.

 

[cjn]

If Marty B says we're in for him this summer will that finally stop the pages and pages of certain posters declaring how we definitely won't deal with his agent?

Haaland doesn't seem like the sort of player to kick up a fuss, he'll be one of the best strikers in the world for years to come and would be our main striker for a decade most likely. I'm sure if Pep want's him then he won't have a problem with dealing with Raiola.

 

[denislawsbackheel]

But that isn’t how Raiola works. He shit stirs and disrupts his clients constantly to move them on after a few years and pocket another wedge.

So true. I remember when Yaya was banging in 20 a season for us and everyone was celebrating but I was sat there completely miserable because I knew in the back of my mind that Dimitry Seluk was his agent. Would not want to go through that again.

What one of our midfield players banging in 20 goals?

For the reasons Denis has said above.

Raiola just shit stirs for his own benefit and doesn't care if it destabilises the club.

You only have to look at Yaya with Birthday-cake-Gate and Kia with Tevez to see the damage it can cause.

Look what's happening to Pogba over the road. If he was left alone to settle and play it would help both him and the team massively.
