I just don't understand things. For the last decade I have been reading all the pundits doom-mongering at our acquisitions, while peeps on here have been saying the opposite.I swear he said the same about KDB when we bought him.
Writing in his Daily Star column, Merson said: "City getting Erling Haaland won't make them unstoppable - I'd rather have Harry Kane! Kane is a better player in my opinion. Haaland is lightning quick. But Kane is better all-round player who is proven in this league and you know he'll be a hit for you.
"City could spend all the money in the world on Haaland. I still don't know if he'd be a hit. Sign Kane? Bang - 30 goals. No worries. And how many assists as well? This League title would have been done and dusted if City had had a centre forward. If they'd signed Kane last summer it would already be over.
"Haaland has plenty of pace and is a good finisher. He will score goals for City if they get him, and it looks like they will. But there won't be a lot of grass in front of him at City. Look at Romelu Lukaku. He has the same problem.
It seems to me the pundits are know-nowt fucking idiots, cos every big call they have got wrong... and City keep getting better.
