How many league goals will Haaland score this season?

The proper record is Dixie Dean's and always will be. 65 goals, and he only played 42 games.

The problem with Dixie Deans' record is that he played in an era that averaged 4 goals a game, compared to the 2.7 the modern game does. Goalkeepers didn't even have gloves, defensive tactics were non existent and the offside rule...

Not to mention the 42 league game season. This is why the top 8 goal tallies are from the late 20s/early 30s era. It rained goals.

If you look at the top scorer by % of the goals scored in the league that season, Dean's 60 is the equivalent to scoring 36 today. That's how much goalscoring has tightened up and how few goals we have these days.

For Haaland to actually score 40, 50+ in a league season would be substantially more impactful than Dean's 60 back in the 1928.

If Alfie's little fella gets 40 or 50 in one league game I think we'll all agree he's surpassed Dixie Dean...
 
Let's enjoy him for the two seasons he's here........the media can't fucking wait for him to go to Spain.
I keep seeing s*** stirring articles on no-name websites saying Haaland wants to leave blah blah blah. Dude looks happy as pig in muck in a City shirt. Surely just jealous rivals trying to cause trouble?
 
Fuck it.
Let's go for Dixie Deans record.
60.
Posted this in October.should have put money on it but didn't...
Not long to go now...
Everyone loves an out and out goal scorer..as a kid I used to read about Dixie Deans 60 in one season for Everton ,just thought Wow
Bob Latchford getting 30 goals in a 42 game season in 1977 I thought was brilliant
Clive Allen 49 for Spurs in a season.incredible
And special mention to John Wark of Ipswich Town..34(?) Goals from central midfield for the great footballing outfit from Portman rd.
But our own Centre Forward is from a different planet.
What a season this is turning out to be.
I'm regretting not placing that bet.....
