I agree Haaland's not yet the biggest legend in City history, but still deserves to be mentioned as a legend as he achieved legendary results and records with us.

Is Haaland already a City legend?

Agree, the label discussion has toxic potential.If ever a word was distorted and bastardised in the modern world it's "legend". Someone brings someone a cup of tea to their desk at work and they're a legend.
We all love him like a brother and are unbelievably grateful that he plays for us, we don't need to affix labels to him
He's a legend already though.

I understand now, given a couple of details about you, why you want him seen as a legend now. But you're biased!I agree Haaland's not yet the biggest legend in City history, but still deserves to be mentioned as a legend as he achieved legendary results and records with us.

He’s close but not there just yet, if he scored 10 - 15 CL goals and we win it again this season for me he’s a legend at City.

The word legend is banded about far too easily nowadays. As Good as Haaland is he needs to hang around several years and keep banging the goals in to be revered as a legend i think.

legend is a term like world class, its thrown around too loosely and it devalues it as a label, while every single person in that treble winning squad will go down in club history, i think theres only two or three that may reach legend status and they would be dias, rodri and foden

Lots of these weird threads about these days. Seem solely designed to sow dissent and get people slagging players off

HIs scoring ability last season surpassed anything I've seen in nigh on seventy years. If that doesn't get yer legendary status I don't know what would!
Hard to label him a legend after only one season, that term is bandied around too easily these days. However, I'd say he's well on his way.
In terms of accolades, he's already poised to be one. Broke the goalscoring record, won a treble, and won our first Champions League. If he carries on for a couple more seasons, I've no shadow of a doubt he will be a legend for us.
