The funny thing is with our spoilt fans, some may get frustrated at times with him.
We have so many technical players who never give the ball away. We take it for granted how good they are and expect all players to be like that.
Sterling wasn’t that level on a technical front and lost the ball quite often. Look how he was viewed even with his excellent stats. However he was always taking that risk. Being direct.
Haaland is our finisher. The ball won’t stick to him like glue all the time like it does with say Bernardo, Foden, Mahrez, etc.
Hopefully the goals will flow early doors and everyone will be happy.
(The pessimistic side of me, being a city fan in the 80s and 90s, worries a slow start with the goals and the ball bouncing off him a couple of times might start a few off…)

I saw a rumour on Twitter that the reason for the initial lack of City training pictures of Haaland was that there was an issue with his shoe sponsorship deal so that he could not be shown with the "wrong" shoe brand.
Not sure if that rumour is true, but there was a similar issue during his first several matches with Dortmund when he played with camouflaged Nike Mercurial shoes.

When I have seen him play,. He is quite tidy for a big lad. I am not expecting the Sterling type treatment.The funny thing is with our spoilt fans, some may get frustrated at times with him.
