Erling Haaland

He plays less than 1 game in 15 with two strikers and even then it’s not “two strikers”, it’s Jesus playing as a wide forward.

Can’t use that when fitness in the squad is an issue

Watched a bit of Stuttgart v Dortmund on BT Sport after our game. Dortmund won away from home 3-2 but Haaland was very ordinary.

We won't bother in that case Marv, cheers for the heads up.

I'm seeing some absolutely ridiculous takes on haaland and this is another one.

He’s had some awkward interviews but that is very obviously and simply nothing more than being a young guy who wasn't used to having a camera in his face. He's already looking more composed in his interviews now, and if you watch the vid of him and foden playing fifa you'll see that he's actually quite a funny guy and a bit of a character (and very friendly with Phil). You can see with the dortmund team he looks a popular player and him and Bellingham clearly get on as that video of them walking down the tunnel together at the etihad shows.

You obviously recognise (at least some of) his talent as a player, but you say that it's "still a no" because you think he's "a bit odd" and "a weirdo". You question his "unprofessional attitude" (when there is plenty of evidence to suggest otherwise) and last but absolutely certainly no means least you "do not like rudeness".

Those are the reasons that you give for not wanting to sign what looks to be the next striking phenomenon. The man to replace Sergio Aguero. The one who adds a new dimension and completes this team, a team that is absolutely crying out for him?

Please believe me when I say that I mean this in the nicest way, but that is bonkers. Absolutely. Bonkers.

Why are so many people responding to an obvious troll?

I’m not even sure it’s a troll. Just a weirdo...

But we used to play with 2 strikers so that made sense.

Now we often play with none and Pep doesn't seem to be too bothered about replacing Kun. So I see little chance of us paying the type of figures bouncing around the place for this guys transfer fee and wages.

Don't say that, the weird troll doesn't like rudeness.

I’m agreeing with this that Haaland will be amazing but we should really bring in also another striker. Don’t think only one will do. Thought we needed one last summer, and with Aguero gone, I believe two is the right number

yep

2 new strikers and delap from the youth to learn from them. its time manchester city give pep the big guns this ship needs. sterling and jesus are not strikers and it shows in big games or tight games like yesterday. i would be happy with haaland and delap but its time to stop messing about and add the 2nd striker a kane or griezmann

i think pep and sterling have fell out and sterling will be sold in the summer. jesus is a puzzle but again if somebody puts a good offer in for him i would bite there hand off. torres will get a 2nd season because he not really been given a chance

the team needs a forward line ? a main striker then somebody to play off him then we will see KDB shine again
next season will be one of the hardest leagues in europe and 5 or 6 teams will be the challenge. if city want to stay ahead of the rest then strikers and world class strikers are needed

I thought I wasn’t gonna read this nonsense again around this forum hehe. I wonder if it will take a defeat against Dortmund or Chelsea in the next two games to get there.

We are releasing Kun exactly for that reason, so we can have space for and afford a new superstar striker.

We lose Kun. We buy one striker and we promote Delap. We 100% will not be buying two strikers.
