Erling Haaland

[RayCTID]

I think we will have to agree to disagree Ray

Fair enough.

Fair enough.

I do agree Milan might kickstart him as you say. He will either thrive or die on the fan expectation

Sorry pal, accept your opinion but Foden was already rated way above him by international scouts and coaches. Way way above. Brahim had mad close control skills but ha a fatal lack of acceleration. Also a main difference was everyone knew Phil was a blue so everyone knew he was unobtainable The best Spanish kids always want to go home in the end. Pointless signing them imo

How much pointless profit did we make on Brahim?

Can we keep on topic guys? Was hoping this might be Haaland related when I saw new posts on the Haaland thread ;-)

A big challenge now is how we handle his career. We have fucked up so many prospects with terrible loan club decisions. For an elite club our youth coaches are absolutely fucking pitiful. We actually pay some twat 70k a year to place lads on loan and that twat has failed time after time

And we are about to do the same again, by loaning pablo moreno, a highly rated talent who spent the season around Juve's first team, to bloody Girona.

Topic? This whole thread is off topic!

Just an individual strand of the 'playets that might improve us' thread.

Delap also has the 'everything else' to go with the build, plus the workrate & attitude.

There is basically nothing, he lacks.

It's purely down to how he translates it to senior football.

Has Delap got Haaland's lightening speed, clinical finishing, intelligence and awareness of players around him though? These are some of the features that seem to set Haaland apart from other strikers. Genuine question I've not seen Delap in action.

Yeah Brahim always played with his head down. Basically to be as greedy as he is he needed a much better turn of pace. No doubting he’s very talented but seriously lacks Foden’s footballing brain and vision.

His old man is on record stating his lad didn't go to United because there was uncertainty over the longevity of Solskjaer.

Alf was a guest of ours last year at the Etihad and Txiki went to Anfield to also watch him play in the Champions League game.

He preferred other options at the time and Raiola has ensured Alf and his dad will earn even more cash in the longer term.

Raiola was on the way out at United but he is now in a position of strength again because they need to renew on Pogba.

Haaland will be able to take his pick.

hello sir ?
Any updates about MESSI ?
Have our chance of 15% obtaining messi increased or decreased ?

Absolutely, He`d beat a couple of players but very little would come of it because he wouldn`t pass the ball. Knowing when to pass Or seeing the options fast enough to change the game is what makes an average but tricky player into great player and sometimes a world beater.
