No forward is ever going to do much in complete isolation. It's a reality people need to face regardless of who's going to be up front this season (and beyond).

Imo he played well given the circumstances. Can‘t do much more.Haaland disappearing against big teams ;)
True but haaland isn't a link up and play forward. He requires constant services in the area to score. Maybe he will develop in future. He is still very young but right now that's his style. Clinical finisher.No forward is ever going to do much in complete isolation. It's a reality people need to face regardless of who's going to be up front this season (and beyond).
Note: I would be over the moon if haaland joins us next summer!

That isn’t true of last season and wasn’t true of SalzburgTrue but haaland isn't a link up and play forward. He requires constant services in the area to score. Maybe he will develop in future. He is still very young but right now that's his style. Clinical finisher.
He got himself into some good positions and crossed the ball and there was no sod there.No forward is ever going to do much in complete isolation. It's a reality people need to face regardless of who's going to be up front this season (and beyond).
You could see him getting frustrated.
Their whole game plan was to sit deep and hit long balls to Haaland and hope he could work miracles.
He wasn’t outstanding tonight but Dortmund were awful so I doubt anyone would be.
Yeah, that was my point, except mine was on a more general level with City.He wasn’t outstanding tonight but Dortmund were awful so I doubt anyone would be.
I would say his best quality is positioning inside the box with respect to the defenders and being clinical. Not link up play.That isn’t true of last season and wasn’t true of Salzburg
I have a vague recollection of him outmuscling the premier league player of the year and leaving him flat on his arse. Only a brilliant Ederson save denied him scoring a great goal. A fantastic assist for a Marco Reus goal too.Haaland disappearing against big teams ;)
Well I certainly wouldn't give his "mob" any respect and I think our Management probably have the same feelings towards them, it's why we don't appear to be interested.That’s how it works. We pay these fees constantly, one of the clubs that pay them the most, in fact. Calling it a “mob” is pretty pathetically naive.
Are people paying attention to this window and how we’re conducting business?
Did people listen to the news that last summer we offered Messi more than the already obscene amount he’s getting from PSG now?
Saying there will be a financial impediment next summer based on what we have now, simply isn’t rooted in reality.
Certainly it turned out to be true that Dortmund weren’t flexible in the fee they wanted for him (reportedly at least 180M), making it impossible for clubs to reach an agreement with them
There was no substance to the Messi situation last year regards financial deals, just conjecture and posturing, the media would hardly green light us to get the deal done for relatively reasonable value, all they did was pander to the dick heads who lap up the "City are buying the league" mantra. The fact it didn't happen probably tells you the deal was not in the club's interest.
Btw, your post came across a bit condescending, saying "pathetically naive" is invidious and uncalled for.
