Ah that makes sense , thanks

Just a nickname. Implying he’s a unit of a Norwegian.

May have worked better if he was a goal keeper or centre back, like Peter Schmeichel, doesn't work for an adroit forward.

Grealish explaining his special tactics of crossing to his striker.

Funny listening to them talk about football as its exactly the same conversations you have playing sunday league, its just they actually execute what they intend to

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…)

Yeah agree with this. We’ve needed something a bit different upfront for a bit (a Dzeko) and have a more city like player technically in Alvarez to compliment him. Bit worried (for him) about the injury chat but it is what it is

Thing it probably depends what you wanted. You could do it illegally on a derelict site or on the side of a building, but that always runs the risk of being covered up. You could ask the owners of buildings around the Etihad if they were willing to have it up, that might be your best bet, but it'd probably take a fair bit of money to pay the artist and quite a bit of organizing. I really like street art, but even in cities with a better culture for it than Manchester, like in Berlin, Valencia, New York or Miami, the best pieces and work rarely last more than a year or two. I guess the nature of what it is makes it temporary.
