There will be games where Haaland starts on the bench to give him a rest and if we're losing with 20-30 minutes to go, I have no doubt that Haaland will come on and absolutely run riot against tiring defenders.

In just 20-30 minutes, Haaland will only get 6 touches.

4 goals mind, but still only 6 touches.
 
He should break this season into top 15 Champions League all time goal scorers.

It's mental that at age 22 he needs only few goals more to catch players like Eto, Rivaldo, Rooney, Kaka or Suarez.

We have in our hands megastar and sky is the limit in marketing sense.
 
Haaland is brilliant, magnificent, etc. Will he take himself off to Spain in three years? Got to keep him. His mate Phil should find him a lovely Manchester lass (or a lad, whatever) whose idea of far away travel is a trip to Scarborough.
 
What I liked after the game was he thanked the fans and went to all sides.
He seems a nice bloke and very humble.
Dare I say it but could he prove better than Aguero in his time here?
 
He looks like the absolute business. I was talking to a rag I work with on the phone today and he said he tuned in last night just to watch Haaland play!
 
I can't get that 40 year old Iron Maiden song (Alexander the Great) out of my head..

The legend his name
Erling Haaland
His name struck fear into hearts of men
Erling Haaland
Became a legend amongst mortal men
Pep told him to win us the Champions League!

If he stays i have no doubt he will do. He’s that good
 
Anyone else think Haaland could go down as the greatest every player to play for City?
If he doesn't fuck off to Madrid in a few years, I think he'll surpass the legendary statuses of Silva, Aguero, Kompany etc and even Colin Bell for those that saw him.

That's got to be the carrot to convince him to stick around in 3/4/5 years time. Go to Madrid and start building a legacy over there from scratch, and at best be one of many great strikers and players they've had at their club; or continue his City legacy and potentially smash all sorts of records here and in the PL, and like you say potential become our greatest ever striker (might even get a statue if there's still room).

If he does stay as long as Sergio, the statue will have to be as big as The Angel of the North with all the records he wouldve broken in that time!

He will quite likely be the best player to ever play for City.

Whether he's City's greatest ever player depends on him staying 6+ years.
 
This club has a way of making players stay longer than they might have anticipated when first signing.
We are top of the food chain in many ways.
He helps cement our first CL and I don't see him going anywhere else for at least 5 years.
Id take that.
 
I can't help wondering; if we'd had someone like Erling in the 19/20 season, how much closer would we have pushed Liverpool? I'm not saying that they wouldn't still have won it; they were at their peak during that season, in my opinion. 99 points is no mean achievement (though it's not 100, is it?). But if we had, for instance, a prime Aguero, we surely wouldn't have finished 18 points behind them.

If Peter Reid had Haaland in the 1992/93 season, with Rick Holden providing the ammo we would have been champions that season I’m convinced.
