Erling Haaland

Trying to understand the logic in which walking around the badge draws less attention than stepping on it like his teammates.
Also talked to a Dortmund fan about it. If it’s a “superstition”, it’s a new one...

He has respect for the club and an affiliation due to Alfie. Is it enough to sign him...absolutely.

First time I have actually seen him play. Hard for me to make any judgement at all but what did stand out is his pace and strength which makes him totally different to the type of player we currently have. His pace might not be such a big asset for us as we play against parked buses 95% of the time, but his strength would help with build up play. His goal scoring record is amazing though, so based on very little from me I would be all over him in the summer but not anywhere near 100mil, I think 80 would be a great price

it can easily be a superstition. I 100% buy that. Footballers are crazy superstitious. Easily checked, does he do it in in other games where badges are on the ground.

That is what I was saying, the Dortmund fan I talked to said he’s not used to doing that

Then it is most likely pt.4, respect and a soft spot for the club.

They were talking about playing Fifa online.

That's the beauty of being a fan, we are able to believe exactly what suits our thinking best - with absolute bias .

It's a deal clincher for me , he's definitely agreed to sign for us.

Glad to see him staying on his feet after shrugging of Dias. If he'd gone down he might've got a pen since Dias accidently clipped his heels. His link up play was a pleasant surprise for me and I'm sure he would have no problem with adapting to play in a Pep side.

Coincidental, I find that less easy to beleive. He looks like he deliberately navigated it.

For fear of not being photographed standing on the badge and that photo misused in the media to link him to a move, not buying that one bit. That is anti-confirmation bias and devils advocate taken to absurd.

Respect for the club his dad played for, and he watched some of as a kid, that seems most logical.


Doesn't mean he wants to or is coming here, but it doesnt mean highlighting it is daft and meaningless either. It is just a comment and opinion on a gesture that happened.

Done it the day before the game as well in training,he walks out with Bellingham and says "it's beautiful huh"?....then walks round the badge.....could be a number of reasons for it.

Yeah we'll know he truly means it, when he does it again for Barcelona when we play them at home next year.




Aaaaand, shat the bed.
