Erling Haaland

[BlueCityfan]

Just had a goal ruled out by VAR for offside.

Dortmund 2-1 down at home atm and 6pts behind the CL places

Nice. :) I'm rooting for Dortmund to lose games. I think them being out of the CL will give us a better chance of signing Haaland.

3rd time this season I have watched him for a whole match. Done nowt in any of them. Beging to wonder what the fuss is about...

It was a brilliant goal,so well taken.

His '2 game' drought is over

 

[super_city_si]

Banged that in no sweat. This is the guy.

Want

 

[bugsyblue]

What i love is his attitude,his burning desire to fight and win,he also demands it of his teammates.

The fact he's physically a monster,and he cant stop scoring also helps..... ;-)

I've actually since vert little of him but do you think he has the fluidity, movement, and link-up attributes to succeed in our front 3? And this isn't a loaded question, it's just other people have described as more of a classic, physically imposing striker and I wonder if that comes with any limitations?

draw again..

 

[PannickAtTheDisco]

Has a fairly consistent touch map, can come deeper if needs be.

He was only a kid when he made that choice to be fair. Can’t say he’s done bad out of it either.

He's done fine so far, although seems to be dipping now (no pun or forecast there). But no reason we should pay up for him when we have Foden, Sterling, Torres and Jesus who can all play dynamically on the left wing

For a big guy,hes surprisingly mobile and good on the ball,his hold up and team play is also superb.
I see no issues.

I don't think Pep will ever go for a big player fee and be held hostage of the investment, this does not align well with his philosophy to rotate and create competition between players, you can't just buy a 100+M player and put him on the bench.

All this talk about Mbappe and Haaland I just don't see it happening, Club's credit card has a 60M limit per transaction :)

 

[Sir Joe Aguero]

One of the fastest and strongest players in football. If Gundogan can get on the end of that Ederson ball, Haaland would eat them for breakfast.

whats does a first draft pick mean pls

Now I said first draft pick to represent he‘s the best young player who everyone wants.
The term is from the NFL and is how teams recruit young players from college football.
From what I understand (and not being American I could get this wrong( is that each team is ranked in the draft process in reverse order to where they finished the prior year in the league,so the bottom team has the first choice of new players (though trading goes on so its not quite that simple)
But the first draft pick hence represents the best young player available.

For me Haaland and Reyna and that’s us done. Everyone else stays and Mendy would be the only one to go. We’d be set for years.

if we could get Messi as well it would be unreal.

 

[bobbyowenquiff]

I watched the Dortmund game today. They were shite and lucky to get a draw against Hoffenheim. Haaland strolled around the pitch looking bored and I started thinking how could he ever play for Pep, he is just too lazy. Then he exploded in a 15-minute spell when he was unplayable and I thought: he needs Pep to make him even better. He has to come to City to fulfil his career.

Claudio is a bit old now

Because Haaland is such a big unit some people tend to forget how young he is. He's actually younger than Foden and non of us expect Phil to be the finished article at 20.

Imagine Haaland after a couple of seasons learning from Pep.

Good goal with dribbling etc.
