Haaland

[Rjk]

Re: Haaland

Pretty good wherever he’s been is stretching it. We know he can score goals in Scandavia but in the top 5 leagues he’s had 1 half decent season in Serie A with Palma but he’s since been bombed out,
plus he flopped at Atalanta and Bordeaux since leaving Cardiff. Now banging them again in Turkey but he it just confirms to me he’s a decent enough striker in the second / third tier of
Leagues but he’s not a top level striker.

Any comparisons to Haaland are futile

a good season in serie A, saw a useful squad player at Atalanta for a couple of seasons too, and banging them in in Turkey as you say is enough evidence for me that he could have done a job here given that most of that time we've been an uninspiring championship team.

not comparing to Haaland who is obviously a different level

Re: Haaland

Anyone else get the feeling that Haaland might be Man City's Andreas Cornelius?

He'll be a beast in that team, don't judge players on pre season friendlies because thats how Man City view it.

Re: Haaland

Indeed not but I have gone with Harry Kane until I can see how he settles

Over a £100 million for 29 year old Harry Kane as opposed to £51 million for 22 year old Haaland, wages most probably similar. They won the league without shelling out for Kane, shrewd move I reckon.

Re: Haaland

Cornelius was still a teenager with us, haaland is 22 and has several seasons playing in a top 5 league under his belt.
then Cornelius was injured and rushed back and then we didn't play to his strengths. he's been pretty good everywhere else he's been, we just used him really badly

He wasn't rushed back, Malky purposely kept him out under the pretext of injury, because he knew he had signed a dud.

Re: Haaland

No

But it struck me how particularly ugly he was on the weekend

Lookist!

Yes, such a good squad player at Atalanta that after 1 season they loaned him out for the next 3.

He was signed for big money - for a promoted team at the time - to do a job in the PL not the Championship.

I should have clarified, I was talking about fantasy football choice rather than best choice overall

i remember all the baloney at the time about malkys three stage dossier on signing players but it turned out he had watched the same 4 minute you tube video that we all saw and thought we were getting a superstar in the making

Re: Haaland

Think he’s already answered this question.
No is the answer

Malky made dodgy signings in the same way Warnock did. People need to read between the lines here.
We're talking about players signed for huge fee's when they clearly weren't worth those fee's.
With those signings comes agent fees and brown envelope back-handers.
Isn't it obvious ffs?
