Not sure how a counter-attacking player would suit the team that averages the highest possession in the league and routinely faces parked bus defences. Being fast doesn't really help that much when there's no space to run into, ask Raheem Sterling
Sterling either trips up or runs into defenders. We still get counter attack chances, we’re just absolutely wank at them. Mahrez on one wing, a slow false 9 and sterling that falls over at the first hurdle. It’s one area we can improve on.

Sterling hasn't got any slower and Foden is absolutely rapid. It's not because we don't have pace in the team, it's because we don't play that way anymore (and our opponents are happier to sit deeper it seems, especially if we don't score early and force them to come out of their shell a bit).

Exactly, we have no pace. Our football is beautiful, but it does irritate me seeing counters getting wasted due to the lack of explosiveness up top, we just end up passing it back.

We really miss David Silva in transition. Also, for someone who tore teams to shreds in a counter-attacking Leicester team, I have no idea why Mahrez so routinely makes the wrong decision when counter-attacking for us, it's extremely frustrating

Foden is the only player capable of playing counter attacking football. Sterling has the pace but that’s wasted being out on the left, just ends up losing the ball.

We get plenty of counter attacking opportunities; we're just particularly wasteful in those situations. Look at Mahrez vs Leicester just last week for instance. And what's the assumption that Haaland is a counter-attacking player? We haven't seen him against enough parked bus defences to make a claim either way.

Sterling should go back on the right and Foden on the left. Mahrez was brilliant last season, but I just feel we need to change it up.

As soon as Mahrez broke free and I knew he’d be caught out for pace.
can´t compare Fodens speed with Sane´s...They ahve always sit deep,there are plenty of teams that attack us and we don´t use our counter attacking chances as we used to.Sterling hasn't got any slower and Foden is absolutely rapid. It's not because we don't have pace in the team, it's because we don't play that way anymore (and our opponents are happier to sit deeper it seems, especially if we don't score early and force them to come out of their shell a bit).

Little update to Haaland's release clause 2022:
according to RND (German source) the fee to be triggered
could rise from €75m to €90m in case of reaching certain performance targets or club success.
No further details given.
Dortmund see his current market value at €130m.

Have we actually bid for this lad? If we haven’t it’s ridiculous as he’s the best option out there. I’d take him over Kane

Dortmund decided not to sell this window after Sancho left, and it seems to be reliable.then we should offer the 130m now!
I even think they assume Bayern didn't get better and there might be a proper chance to compete for the league title. Worth to keep Haaland this season.
Said it before but I think the only reason we haven't is that Mino Raiola is his agent.Have we actually bid for this lad? If we haven’t it’s ridiculous as he’s the best option out there. I’d take him over Kane

Like a broken record, here I am again.Said it before but I think the only reason we haven't is that Mino Raiola is his agent.
He doesn't want to sign for us, like he doesn't want to sign for Chelsea. His next move is already sorted, read the room.

Or forum you mean.
The same experts on here that said the Kane deal was done weeks ago.
The truth is only Haaland, Riola and Alf know what Erling wants, not Bluemoon.

My guess is Real Madrid next seasonWe don't actually know what Haaland wants. Everyone was saying he wanted Chelsea but that turned out to be bollocks.

Why was Raiola and Alf on a tour around Europe being pictured everywhere and then it all stopped.‘Read the room’

Chelsea apparently were interested then it all disappeared and they bought Lukaku, there was never really any serious links between us and Haaland and its all disappeared anyway and we are solely after Kane now.
You are right, those three do know what they want and it doesn't involve us and once hes signed for Bayern or Real next summer that will be that.
