Yeah I never had any doubts in terms if his quality. If he had a good goal scoring record in the Bundesliga but his international and Champions League goal scoring record was mediocre, then I would’ve had some reservations but when you look at his goal scoring record at international and Champions League level, it is also insane. So I knew we were getting a superb talent…

But I still didn’t think he would be this good.

I said in the other thread, Kane is currently on course for 30+ league goals, 7 in 8 so far, that’s great going by usual standards in this league. If it’s any other season and Haaland doesn’t exist, people would be raving about Kane scoring nearly a goal a game, we might be saying we should’ve got him ….

Well he’s being left in the dust. Haaland has double his amount. It’s just ridiculous when you put it in that kind of context. He’s completely blowing away what is considered usual high standards.

Remember he didn't score against Bournemouth either!

Just hoping injuries don't curtail his number of appearances as that 250/1 many of us took on him scoring 40+ league goals this season is definitely on the cards now!
 
A couple of United fans stood near me in the pub yesterday tried making themselves feel better by discussing how Haaland has a release clause and so will be in Spain in a few years. Then one of them claimed that the clause can be activated this January and so he will be gone by the end of the next Transfer Window!! The desperation amongst them is hilarious!
 
For Gods sake He has made City to Haaland Globetrotters... :-)
I just keep wondering is it really possible to keep this going on for a season... the start is really awestrucking, he has every skill you look for in a striker.

I have been trying to recall if I've ever seen an athlete show up in the top level of a sport and immediately impact everything about it. The sort of arrival that sends shockwaves through the entire sport and necessitates changes by every other team to try to counter that player. The kind that forces those teams to change their entire recruitment strategy.

The only analog of Big Blondie I've seen in my lifetime is when Shaq joined Orlando as a 20 year old rookie and the entire NBA had to change because of him.
