Kanes a top draw player,but not even in same leauge as haaland in my eyes,haaland got longevity ,so yess you get more money bk than you bought him for,hes proven in cl no doubt about that,hes faster stronger,and can hit a thunder basterd any day of week,kanes becoming more of a play maker,sorry but weve already got the best of them ,like i said not even in same leauge
 
The comparisons are pointless. We create a host of chances, dominate most games, and have had pretty much unbroken success for a decade and we have done that, recently, without the option of pace, power and finishing. If you are looking for a striker to give you that, along with aerial ability, then there are not many around with the potential of Haaland. As for whether a striker will solve our ills (personally, I don't think we have any) then it is a tough call. Burnley, for example, have changed their formation twice this season, both against us, and many teams simply let us have it and sit very deep, wanting to exploit a set piece or a quick counter. This will be about a change of style from Pep, again, and another option.

I can understand your arguments about their respective strengths on the pitch - and personally, that’s where any new signing matters most - but to claim they’re both equally marketable is clearly nonsense.

Haaland has all the hype and media noise around him, a huge social following, and at his age is viewed as one of the future stars of the game. He’s a player with genuinely global appeal.

Kane has none of those things.

If you can’t see that, you’re a moron.

Both Kane and Haaland would be unbelievable for us, and score so many goals it would be eye-watering. So would Benzema or Lewandowski for that matter just to drag them into the discussion. Hell, if we actually signed Ronaldo last summer I bet he would be terrifying in this team.

Luckily though since we most likely can just sign one of them it looks like we got the youngest one in the bag. His ceiling is huge.

It's not whether he is better than Kane(its debatable at this current stage imo, I rate Kane highly) or the likes of Lewa or Benzema. It's the fact that he is 21 years young and in the conversation among those absolute world-class strikers, when basically every other 20-something out and out striker on the planet currently carries huge question marks over their ability. Haaland is a goal machine with a mindset to match

Sorry mate, lost me at Ronaldo...

I was overjoyed we didn’t sign the ****.

IF anywhere near true. Would it effect the Haaland saga?

My guess is this is a fall back option if Madrid deal goes sour - could well happen as you never know. I still reckon chances of him going to Madrid are very strong - as close to a done deal as you can get.

Kane is a top Premier League player with nobody outside of Seven Sisters caring much.

The thing is multi-faceted for City when Haaland joins us.

Bums on seats from wider afield, social media recognition across all platforms, a proven Champions League record.

Haaland and Kane is like comparing a Ferrari with a Range Rover.

Both have their enthusiasts but one is a prestige supercar, capable of incredible things, and the other is a decent off roader who can occasionally bomb a bit in the fast lane, but breaks down more than it should for the price.

Haaland has been marketed globally by a media team whereas Kane has been marketed on Walthamstow Market by his brother Rodney

And Kane has link up play and creativity Haaland could only dream of.

They're different types of striker but one is not more marketable than the other.

kane's passing will be usefull only when the other team leaves space to play. he is not going to get it here. besides as a fox in the box he is a bit shit and haaland is more suited to our game.
 
I’ve always had it in the back of my mind that the only way this deal doesn’t happen is if PSG get involved in either trying to sign Haaland themselves or persuading Mbappe to stay such that Haaland became the priority for Real Madrid this window.

As neither looked like happening I wasn’t overly concerned. Its still only a possibility reading that report.

I would hope that if PSG do start muddying the waters that Haaland sticks with us in any case knowing that he wasn’t RM’s first choice and chose us not just because he would have to stay another year at Dortmund to move to RM.

My faith is dented but only slightly.
