He’s not going to get the space he’s used to, so I hope that won’t be a frustration, and he’s going to get kicked off the park by some of the hoofers playing in the PL, but if he can come to grips with both of those things, there’s absolutely no reason he can’t win the Golden Boot next season!
We haven’t had an aerial presence since Erin Dzeko and we haven’t had a natural striker for a few years when Sergio was fully fit. In Haaland, even at 21, we get both!
Here’s hoping he has a nice, quiet summer, gets in a good preseason, and is able to hit the ground running.
To add to that, he will get a nice winter break around the World Cup, and hopefully be raring to go again in 2023.
As always with big, statement signings, it’s keeping them fit and on the field, because they become targets for other teams. We have seen that this season with the treatment Grealish has received, and even with the homegrown talent of Phil Foden.
If Haaland can stay fit, there’s no reason why he can’t create, even if not scoring them all himself, panic in and around the box, leading to goals galore!
All that said, we need to win our remaining games, so that he’s playing for the CHAMPIONS OF ENGLAND, and we are not having a Domestic Treble or even Quadruple flung in our faces next season!
