Erling Haaland

Exactly, you’re not going out with the guy. Why does he have to be your guy? Again footy fans are fickle. No one would care within the first few games.

I'm saying if the alternative is a player that you could build that rapport and is under the pretense of being 'Sergio's replacement', then Kane surely can't be the right man.

And I hope Kane doesn't read his thread if he signs for us and doesn't perform in his first game. Fans are way more tolerant when things are going well.

He’s the captain and supposed to be a leader on the pitch. So far I’ve not seen anything to back that up. In fact the best player on the pitch was Foden and did 10 x more than Kane.. just saying bud

You have fuck all knowledge about what he’s like as a captain or a leader. Much like me.
A few sound bites of a Amazon documentary or the fact he’s not screaming on the pitch isn’t going to change the fact none of us have a clue about him. A few weeks back our whole starting 11 shit the bed in a CL final. Didn’t see any leadership then from anyone then so please don’t start with that.

Players can have off days, maybe he is injured. Who knows. Foden might have had 10x the game he has but he still looks like a pub player in this England team.
Christ, how many players over the years have we had look shite for England but pretty much undisputed as some of the worlds best in their positions for the 99% rest of their careers, nothings changed.

Agreed but Haaland could be at City for 10 years. Kane will be shot in 4

Delap will be flying by then

Replacement in the sense of a striker. Disconnect your feelings for Aguero. That won’t be replaced.

Damnit, saw that there was a ton of action on this thread, and thought someone had said something. ah well

Any other year I think most of us would be buzzing to get Kane, he's a top striker and will score a ton if goal for us.....however, one of the most prolific youngsters who happens to be a City fan and wants to play at the etihad is possible up for sale, for the right price!

And that's the only thing I have against Kane, sad really, as he's guaranteed to score and will be pretty much perfect.

Something for us ALL to note is, the bosses at City are used to turning down young talents who support their club (most Spanish kids would have loved to play for Barcelona), it probably went on year after year making tough decisions for the strength of the squad. Its maybe something we all need to get used to in the coming years, it's not really a bad thing.....but right at this moment I'll be gutted to see Haaland in a Chelsea shirt.

If we don’t get Kane I don’t see it as a missed opportunity where as if we don’t get Haaland then I do

I'd like to get Haaland but if neither himself or Kane end up transferring to a Premier league team I'm not too bothered.
PSG dont need them, Spanish teams cant afford them and Bayern will only take one of them if Lewandowski leaves.

So again, you’re only bothered about what he’s doing for England? You not think that’s such a mad way to judge someone? Tell me what you’ve seen from Haaland playing for Norway that makes you want him so much? I’m surprised you’d want him considering they didn’t qualify, surely you’d have wanted him to lead them to success single handedly.

I was comparing him to Lewandowski. I would expect more from a world class striker in the 2 games he’s played

He hasn’t performed, I don’t think England have but I repeat considering his position he’s reliant on others. I just wouldn’t judge a player on two games for their country. I’d personally judge him on his 166 goals in the prem in 200 and odd games...

Probably not, but Haaland is the only one who could replicate it. I'd much rather sign someone who could give us that same buzz we had when signing Aguero and seeing him first play than someone who will always be a divisive figure that fans will never 100% take to.
