Erling Haaland

[5 Hit Gibbon]

Haaland is not the next Messi or Neymar, he is the next Benzema. Nobody can deny he has talent but people talking about him as the world's best player in the future are, imo, off the mark.

He's not the messiah!

 

[Damanino]

Haaland is way better than Kane imo and what I mean by that is Haaland will be higher ranked player at age 27 than Kane now.

For sure Kane is more complete now as he has all those years as experience in him. Experience is huge. In terms of global reach/hype/marketing ability also Haaland is way above Kane who lets be honest is quiet, not very interesting person and his popularity is mainly in England.

Haaland ripping it up in Bundesliga and CL at age 20/21, Kane at age 20 was coming back from loans in Championship.

Haaland imo is the next Ibrahimovic/Lewandowski. With that agent Raiola he might turn up at multiple clubs same as Ibra but wherever he goes he guarantees goals and a lots of it.
Lewa was ripping apart goalscoring at Dortmund he went to Bayern and scored something like 300 goals in 7 seasons for Bayern more than Kun did for us in 10 years.

Haaland would do the exact same if he joins Bayern or more...

If he cannot end up at City for whatever reason I only want him to tie him down for long at La Liga or PSG so he will not be a direct rival to us ever.

Personally think if he came to City he'd be scoring 60 goals a season in all comps

I like him, I just don't love him. He's a great player but I don't see the generational talent that others seem to see in him.

No. That's more Mbappe territory. But this kid can be the next Kane, or Lewandiski.

More like 25 a season. But he'd be up there every season.

No , he wouldn’t that’s peak Messi figures, he isn’t Messi, he isn’t even Ronaldo. As good as he is he’s not close to that level. He wouldn’t score more than Kane would for a couple of seasons at least.

Absolute nonsense, if you think Haaland in City team only scores 25 goals a season you are clearly deluded or in denial

I mean he's scored 40 in 43 games for Dortmund FFS

and he wouldn't be playing in La Liga....

The way Pep rotates the team, that works out at 4 goals per game.

[Aphex]

I like the guy a lot but I honestly think he’s a ringer like Rooney. Pretty much finished at 27. He’s bigger than most men at 21

That's what we said about Paul Moulden.

He's good, but he's not Ballon d'or class imo. To be honest, he's been built up more on here than Roy Race.

Haaland would be doing well if he turned out to be anywhere near as consistently prolific as Aguero, Henry, Kane or Shearer in the PL.

If he does well on his next move, he'll end up at Real Madrid within 5 years.

Good luck to the lad wherever he ends up.

Paul Moulden had the pace of Eric Garcia and had only played youth and reserve football before playing for City's first team. Who knows what level Haaland will peak at but he has excelled in the Bundesliga and scored loads of goals in the UCL.

or maybe the next Drogba

 

[mccity]

or maybe the next Drogba

If he ends up anything like Drogba stylistically he's going to be miles better than him, considering that Drogba wasn't traditionally an elite goalscorer (barring in one season) like Haaland is currently showcasing.

But I'm not sure Haaland is a pisshead and addicted to brass. So hopefully that would give him some longevity in the game.

Till Kyle takes him on a night out : )

thats fair enough and quite a scarey thought

That would give him another 6 years at a top club, that'll do!

If something goes tits up with Kane, we should be all over this kid and start talking to his team asap.
