Right now I don’t agree Haaland is better than Kane.
I don’t trust what I see as I don’t see enough so I look at the data the same as City will do as part of their analysis.
One of the most important stats is the difference between Actual Goals and Expected Goals. Right now..
1. Messi
2. Kane
Also Kane creates more than Haaland and fits how we play better which is why Pep prefers him for City.
I think Haaland will be a better Striker than Kane ever was in the future but that is a guess and City want the best now while Pep is still here.
Then we get to the fact that Haaland isn’t going anywhere this window and anyone that tries will fall foul of FFP. I can see a bidding war next year for both fee and wages despite the buyout clause.His agent will insist on another buy out clause so he can repeat the same trick over and over. His agent and his father also want to get paid huge bucks over and over too.
All in all Haaland comes with loads of baggage. To contradict myself in terms of not believing what I see I think Haaland looks a generational talent and I’d love to see him here but when we played Dortmund he hardly touched the ball and it was Bellingham that shone.
Everything taken into consideration right now and, living in the real World, Kane is a better bet than Haaland. Not as exciting true but still better and, if this is also
@BillyShears point, then I have to agree with him.
