It's Very Early Days, But...

[TinFoilHat]

Does this make Haaland a modern day Goater?

Yes.

He is the Norwegian Goat

 

[Sky Blue Thinking]

Absolutely - still can’t believe no one paid £10million for him -!

Still cant believe we paid anything for him
...an Alan Ball special..

 

[r.soleofsalford]

I'm better than Savinho.

No I’m better than Savinho.

 

[Lavinda Past]

Savinho is the new Edghill by some of comments on here

Savinho wishes he could be as popular as Edghill.

 

[Eaststander1]

Must have been a good player that Martin 'buster' Phillips, Alan Ball said he had two feet on him .... he must have had good balance, if nowt else!

 

[Lee the Blue]

Do you think Foden and Cherki could be our modern day equivalent of Bernarbia and Berkovic...??

I think they are both a way levels above that, fun though Berkovic and Benarbia were. Phil's already won 15 major pots - ie much more than Leeds, & Newcastle and the same amount as Everton as a guideline.

 

[bobbyowenquiff]

They're good players but let's not be silly here. They both have a long way to go before reaching the levels of Bernarbia & Berkovic. I doubt they ever will to be honest

Cherki and Foden are already much higher levels above Bernabia and Berkovich.

 

[Bigga]

Okay, so the posters saying Foden and Cherki are "levels above" and 'Foden's won xxx' are not getting what I mean. These are individual honours, not a mind-reading tandem!

There was something magical about B&B with the way they interlinked in '01-'02 for like, a whole season, basically. We've seen a snippet of Foden and Cherki in comparison which, in my eyes, cast small ripples of memories of Bernarbia and Berkovic's mesmeric flair on the pitch.

The other day just got my hopes up and that's why I said it was very early days.

 

[Corky]

They weren't suited to play together in the PL, and 5 at the back was used to try to make up for it. As the season went on they started a lot less in the same team.

In Division 1 it was different, Huckerby 20 league goals as 3rd choice striker.

He's got no problem then.

Well said.

Ali B was fantastic

People are so literal these days. No room for nuance.

Ali B was fantastic

He was Absolutely brilliant...as a veteran centre mid for us
Would have loved to have had Ali in his early 20s at Maine Road.
So skilful,so dynamic,so tough...as a veteran..God knows how good he would have been under a manager like Keegan in his younger days. The mind boggles.

 

[borassic]

They’re already levels above skill wise but as chemistry goes they defo have it in them to fire us to the title

Many people… ;-)

Of course, the duo were older and the PL more savvy (still had little breakthroughs and injury didn't help re-creating the relationship), but I think you're still missing my point.

 

[bobbyowenquiff]

Ali B was fantastic

He was brilliant for that period. I wish we had got him younger. But our club was competing at a much lower level. Foden has been a star at the highest level since he was 17 winning multiple trophies. Cherki is just starting with us.

 

[Cobwebcat]

I guess you mean relationship rather than standard so yes.

 

[Marvin.]

Cherki's performance vs Sunderland was excellent but I want to see more of the same. I know now that Cherki has great ability on the ball but I want to see him consistently running games.
