Erling Haaland

[simon23]

Of course he is unproven, but 'lacking' 'little to suggest' is just insulting.

He might not make it but he's the best cf prospect I've seen at City & is about 2 years ahead of where Haaland was at the same age.

"Little to suggest is bassed on the fact that he has had one and a bit games in the first team - little evidence base to suggest some of he hype - he needs to be given time to do this consistently and produce consistently before people start saying he is going to be this and that....its this sort of pressure that can wreck a career before it even starts and why Pep has protected Foden and ignored the clamour to start him more up until this season and the back end of last.

Again it matters not where he and Haaland are or were at comparable ages - it matters where he is right now and where he may get in the future.

"Lacking" - again was a direct comparison in terms of pace.....you seem to want to read something into it that isnt there, but thats up to you

Neither was insulting - just a comment on people getting over excited and in terms of his pace.

Like I said - he cold become a world star for all any of us know - he could also just become another lower division striker - we will have to wait and see . He should get his chance to show something hopefully this season if our bad luck with injuries continues..

He is a legitimate top prospect.

That's it, full stop. He has to take that & produce it at first team level, in order to make it. Anybody basing it on one game would be a fucking dick.

But people are absolutely 100% entitled to think he is a top prospect, becuse he is. Absolutely. He doesn't 'lack' anything, anymore than any other absolute top prospect did, including Haaland at the same age & Sancho etc etc.

Now he has to improve.

Which is what I said in the first place.

Tell Raiola to fuck off and get over here

We’d be absolutely mad not to snap this guy up next summer for his £63m release clause. Regardless of fees or agent issues... He would be perfect for us!

Scored all 4 of their goals... Come on City this is a no brainer.

The biggest problem is that we want long term commitment. Raiola's players don't provide that.

After 3-4 years we are back in the market for striker. Yes we might get money but top class strikers don't just grow on trees. What if there is not any one available then to replace him? All the money in that case don't matter.

Its too big of a risk.

He will probably go to Juve for few years and then jump ship to PSG maybe.

Lautaro Martinez or Joao Felix I think we'll go for, seem to fit our profile better.

Scored 3/4

Correct, read it wrong somebody else scored the other goal.

Him and Odegaard have a good connection.

Four years of having the best striker in the world >>>>>>>>>> four years of not having the best striker in the world.
