Erling Haaland

[teddykgb]

Sterling can do all those things and is technically talented enough to provide that option through the middle. Haaland appears to have the natural ability to time his runs and if he's capable of producing clinical finishes, he's capable of producing clinical crosses, just like Sane and he's naturally left footed.

We would have to adapt to his style to some extent and he would undoubtedly have to adapt to our style but there's potential for a few different options with him. Although like I said it would boil down to Haaland's openness to the idea, most strikers are naturally selfish and naturally want to score the goals themselves rather than create goals for the team.

This is nonsense. Haaland is a striker, not a winger. About the only things they have in common are that they are both tall and are currently in Germany. If we were to purchase him, which unfortunately seems unlikely, he’d play through the middle because that’s where he belongs.

Why? Gatt’s supposedly exclusive story back in February made it seem like we were all over this kid but it might not happen until his 2021 release clause is contractually activated next year.

You've not read my post. I clearly stated Haaland (striker) and Sterling (left winger), just with the flexibility to interchange positions throughout the game to give us a different option occasionally.

Not true

Why?

Imagine haaland with Foden and KDB feeding him...

It'd be like watching an episode of 600lb life.

Don't wanna rain on any parade here but have we actually been linked with Haaland? I'd like to think the club would be all over it if it were possible but it seems we have no real links to himself and Havertz, if I'm not mistaken?

Not once. He's like the phantom version of Isco.
