Erling Haaland

[birchwoodgingerste]

Even though we won I think the derby was another good example of why we need a forward. Despite our total dominance, lets be honest that game could easily have finished 0-0. Two absolute joke goals for them to concede.

Its so blatantly obvious.

Surprised this has received any likes. You could swing it and say it could have been 5 or 6. De Gea made a few good saves and we hit the post. If it had been 0-0 it would have been a travesty

He has to be psg bound doesn't he? They are losing mbappe and will just throw afew truckloads of money at him

Losing Mbappé for nothing. I just don't get how PSG can pay so much in fees, agents fees & wages, & they still don't get half the FFP grief we get? )(

Of all the available strikers in the world, Haaland is the one I want most. That's taking into consideration that Mbappé is Madrid bound next summer.

Utter shite.

That’s kind of the point

Looking at the way we play, the age of our squad we must pull out all the stops and sign this guy - we could dominate for 5+ years. I'd take Raheem, Mahrez and a couple of fringe players sold and Haaland in.

Haaland in, Sterling and Mahrez out with Palmer getting fully promoted. Foden Haaland and Jesus with Torres, Grealish, Delap and Palmer as backup. The future as well and truly blue.

LOL we were toying with them in the extreme and in second gear.

We could have scored at any time but chose just to take the proverbial, make them suffer and suffer they did.

Salah & Mane are scoring more than the forward Firmino.

Hopefully our wingers can do the same.

& Chelsea won the CL without a forward, City won the League without a forward.



Our struggle sometimes upfront is not because we don't have forward, its because our attacking midfielders should do better.

One more point, say we had Haaland in our squad on Saturday, who would you leave out?

No doubt when we face a 10 men defence we do lack a focal point but Saturday against that rabble was not the case, in fact I would say the opposite. They had 3 CB and no one to mark, they simply did not know what to do, an utter shambles.

It’s a fair point. Probably Gundogan but it’s not easy. This isn’t about us not deserving to win on Saturday, of course we did. It’s about not converting chances week in week out. I could throw it back and say would you make room for prime Aguero in that side?

Prime Aguero get's in any side but you would have to change the way we play, and prime Aguero would have to defend from the front something he seemed not happy to do initially under Pep but changed brilliantly.

I disagree that the goals were jokes because of the amount of pressure City had them under for such a sustained time. Eventually an opposition makes mistakes under that barrage. De Gea pulled out multiple great saves, one unbelieveable one from Gabby. He didn't have himself set properly for a toe poke from Bernardo but it was about 3 yards away from him and his goal was constantly crowded.

So we agree then. An elite striker gets in the side.

A handful, if that because as well as elite they need to not dirupt our play too much. Which is why we have to wait for the right one to be available to us. Prpbably next summer. So It's not really worth worrying about for now.

In the squad 101%, but as said, we did not miss a striker on Saturday, just as we did not against Chelsea and Liverpool.

This comes a couple of days after Arsenal were linked, too.

I can only assume other clubs being linked with Vlahovic, with the City front going quiet, can only have positive implications for the Haaland chase?

Or... International break, time to for 'linking'.

It is in Fiorentina's interest to see him linked with as many clubs as possible, while claiming he will not be sold in January but might get sold in the summer, for the right price.

I still cannot see Haaland coming to City. He is more likely going to Real Madrid or PSG cause they can afford his salary and the pay out for his agent.

City somehow always get a player out of the magic hat that no one was considering and so many times we have been linked to high profile expensive players and we ended up passing on them! More like dodging a bullet!

This always gets me laughing. We’re so poor! Real Madrid is in better financial shape than us. Lol
Our highest wage is the same as Madrid’s highest wage bar Bale (whose wage is from the “old” Madrid, they’re not doing that again). We offered Messi the previous summer more than PSG is paying him now.
But, sure, we would miss on Haaland because of money...
