Erling Haaland

[01cravend]

Albert Braut Tjaaland is scoring for fun in Molde's youth team...Haalands cousin

Two words...

Mangala

Bony

Two in return.

Zinchenko

Ederson

Every time Haaland plays he puts another £10m on his fee. I believe we should move mountains to get him. With Pep's guidance he would become and remain the best player in the world for ten years. He is much better than Shearer was at the same age. Players like him come round once every generation.

 

[bobbyowenquiff]

A gesture like that would have been more meaningful and sincere after his career ending injury sustained representing us

That's true but we still have the edge on the Rags after what they did to Alfie.

 

[City Raider]

We’re potentially looking at our 2 biggest transfers ever this summer. No wonder KDB/Kun contracts delayed, will determine salary structure etc moving forward.

 

[MeatHunterrr]

City have decided a move against Mbappé due to his wages apparently according to Athletic.

Lets hope Haaland's wage demands are good enough for City.

 

[blue61]

Imagine our threat from set pieces...

Dias/Stones/Laporte, plus Rodri and Haaland.

The combination of our exquisite, total football with a Stoke-esque aerial threat would be quite something.

I watched some of that game and I actually thought his heading was average and he is not quite polished in his all round game. He is without doubt got the highest ceiling of any young player at present and Pep would do wonders for his game

The one thing he has is composure in the penalty box and looks a natural goal scorer. What a dream to replace one of the greatest ever in Aguero with Haaland

 

[Rhapsody in Blue]

If he has a weakness it's his heading ability, for being a good lad, he doesn't score a lot with his head. But that will probably come.

Get young Delap in the team for the long throw in's.

And we're not playing FIFA either. Dias is a credit to Txiki's method, he was option C

Or option A round 2.

Mbappé's wage demands are going to be so large due to his profile. He's had 4 years now of being branded as the next big thing, he's played an important role in a world cup win, he plays for PSG, he's got big links with Nike and Air Jordan through PSG. Basically he's extremely marketable already and he's only going to increase on that front, and with his age that's going to last a loooooong time. So he can demand huge wages.

Right now Haaland's major appeal is solely on the pitch stuff. That may change but he's not in the position to ask for what Mbappé would. He might ask for a big amount but I don't think it'd be beyond anything City would offer.

 

[Coatigan]

Two words...

Mangala

Bony

Both first choice targets, worth noting.

 

[kun]

The only person who could bollocks up Haaland moving to City is Txiki Bergiristain. He blew it with Hazard and Van Persie by trying to save a few quid - Let's hope he's finally learned his lesson.

Sorry but your memory is wrong. Summer 2012 (The summer we missed out on van Persie, Hazard and De Rossi) Brian Marwood was our temporary acting CEO after Garry Cook's shameful email. Txiki had not officially arrived // not meaningfully arrived.

Mangala and Bony are definitely mistakes from Txiki (however it has been well publicised that Txiki wanted Dybala and Pellegrini wanted Bony). You could probably add the likes of Nolito, Bravo and Mendy too.

No DoF in world football has a 100% success rate. Only a handful at most will have better records than Txiki.

Defo hes a good player. Still raw, but would do well under Pep's guidance. Would suit our style better compared to lets say Liverpools. Liverpool players run at high pace/energy. Their front 3, just run like crazy. This guy aint that sort. He will close defence down, but is more big built so obviously slow. And would suit a team/style of patient build up like our style of football under Pep.

 

[@BluePhil8]

I do genuinely feel like this guy is a generational opportunity like Hazard and Mbappe were. It’s not a regular occurrence that someone of such obvious quality becomes available. Whether we’ll sign him when nobhead clubs like United will be offering him £350k a week is another matter.

 

[give it to gordon]

why was it disallowed? offside?

Brought back for a penalty, which harland than had saved ;)



But the keeper was of his line so Haaland scored the retake lol

It was disallowed as the ref deemed Haaland to have fouled Fernando.

He isn't slow. Haaland is ridiculously fast for his size but I do agree. Think he would suit our style of player better than Liverpools. He'll get a shed load of goals inside the box.
