Erling Haaland

[Mid Wales blue]

You're suffering from cuntaphobia and there is no known cure.

That’s exactly what the Dr told me!

 

[aguero93:20]

Is it pronounced Harland or Hawland?

Wouldn't worry about it, ten minutes into his debut he'll have some humorous nickname like FFS.

 

[RayCTID]

I think he is overhyped but I back the clubs judgement if he is a geniune target

 

[NorthamptonBlue]

The active posters in this forum below 40 (never mind 30) is probably a fairly low percentage, so most frequent posters would know who he was.

And then again plenty of people under 40 know who he was.

I used to make movies with year 8 classes and they invariably asked for the theme tune.

Makes me wonder what the proper amount of hype is for a 20-year old with 20 champions league goals in 14 matches.

True.

But apparently it's "Harland" for non-Norwegians and "Holland" for them.

But not "Hawland" like the tit on BT Sport right now, which is what prompted my question.

Still unproven and still very raw

Problem is that there’s about 50 supposed variations of this clause

reality is there will be one cntract with the clauses in it...the variations come from the varying different bullshit reports from the media and teh re tweeting of all these plus things getting lost in translation.

20 goals in the highest European club competition is unproven?

Mbappe shades Haaland but is still is a raw player

One is Robert Lewandowski. The other is the unproven Erling Haaland.

Player A:
Minutes per goal in Bundesliga since January 2020: 83
Minutes per goal in UCL since September 2019: 54

Player B:
Minutes per goal in Bundesliga since January 2020: 70
Minutes per goal in UCL since September 2019: 70

I reckon we could fit both into Angel of Harlem by U2 :)

 

[diamond geezer]

Is it pronounced Harland or Hawland?

Double A sounds like "awe", close enough at least.

Is it pronounced "1 dot 6 1 8 0 3 4" or "golden mean approximation"?

Lewandowski has won the lot at both Dortmund and Bayern

 

[Bald fraud]

What's he on about, "Surely Man City go after Haaland" is even worse grammar.

Surely just get rid of the surely?

I think you're right but stop calling me Shirley.

So let him go to the rags where he bags 30 prem goals a season for 4 years and then buy him for £250M when hes proven?

We should sell Foden as he too is unproven

I think he might be suggesting that we are already going after him, could be referring to the daily mail bit

*imagines the silverware Haaland will be hauling in in the next 12 years*

Still being raw and putting up similar numbers to Lewandowski at a much younger age, it should and will be a lot.
