Erling Haaland

just want someone who finishes chances like that in our side. Imagine him on De Bruyne and Cancelo crosses and Ederson punts down field.

 

[Sir Joe Aguero]

We’ve signed plenty of players from counter attacking sides. The Bundesliga in particular is just like that stylistically. Haland is good on the ball, strong and gets into great positions and add to that is a ruthless finisher. That’s all we really need and Pep can coach the rest.

On the flip side I do think we need a player that has ability on the counter too. So many of our forwards are poor in that scenario.

We used to score loads on the break with Sane Aguero Sterling, and we have to defenders to soak up pressure.

Pay them what he costs. Painfully obvious after today’s shitshow that we need a lethal finisher and he's the best available.

I've seen pep mention it two or three times recently about us not taking out chances, hopefully he's laying a seed for the owners to show we need to spend the money on him

Haaland would be a fantastic signing, but people need to realise games like today will happen even with him in the side.

Agreed, I still think we lack leadership in midfield, so times we look so lightweight there in the type of game like today.

I’ve not seen enough of him tbh. The clips I have seen, they seem to play on counter and it suits him, lots of space in behind. Is he as good at making room and getting quick shots away against packed defences?

A few things on this post.

1) This question and reasoning gets posted every few pages for some reason but the reality is that City do actually get chances in the break in nearly every game we play. What happens at present unfortunately is that Sterling or some other prick tend to run it into a blind alley or the chance falls to someone that doesn’t capitalise on the chance.

2) Watch all his goals for Dortmund posted a page back. Haaland scores every type of goal imaginable. He scored from outside the box, can score penalties, can score 1 on 1 (which no fucker seems capable of in our team) and of course, he can score tap ins (without it bobbling through his legs or blasting over the bar - again looking at you Raheem) when his pace and positional sense gain him the advantage.

He’s the most complete striker I’ve seen since Shearer was that age. He has the lot and will strengthen whichever club can buy him.

I’d love for Messi to come to City and I don’t believe the transfers are dependent on each other, but Haaland is the one I’d wank myself silly over.

He finishes those two chances Sterling fucked up though I reckon.

Most strikers in the PL finish those chances

A three legged dachshund would have put those away.

No english team continually poaches players of other clubs in england.

Southampton and Liverpool say "hi"
