8 games in and no one's figured him out yet. Life is strange.
He's a phenomenon. Figuring him out isn't the problem as much as stopping him is!Quote:

Pretty much the perfect striker. I can't name a better one.
He makes the likes of Shearer, Schevchenko, even Ibrahimovic look bang average.
This thread is going to break the record for most bumps in a season.
Haha it’s already got the record for “the most misguided thread ever” awardQuote:

People will of course point to the chances he gets at a club like Man City, and their other players etc, but he still has to take those chances and he does it with aplomb almost every time.
One of those players you see maybe once in a generation.
...and apparently OGS taught him how to head.....Quote:

14 in 8 in the league isn’t it? Keep that ratio up, he’d have 56 in 32. Would need 5 more in the last 6 games to break the record, a record nobody would have ever dreamt would be beaten. He couldn’t.......could he?
He could but he won’t get anywhere near it.Quote:

Was 4-1 earlier, looked a shit price.Quote:

Bloke's a machine.
He will be the ruination of football .
People will get bored with him dominating games, winning 6-0 every game ..
Mark my words :hehe:
They’ve figured him out in Europe though, right?
No. No one knows what he is or what he's doingQuote:

Pressure’s on Erling :hehe: Regarding us, he scored one in a 2-1 win for the Toffees on Boxing Day but drew a blank the next day as we triumphed 2-0 at Ninian Park.
Interesting stuff - but "printed off" made me chuckle :hehe:Quote:

He's only 50% human. His father is 100% Artificial Intellegence (A I Haaland)..
Taken off at half time, at home on Saturday and against a struggling Southampton with the 5th worst defensive record in the league...
It would seem the Saints' yearly 9-0 battering has come early this year :hehe:
anyone hazard a guess what he is earning per week at Man city ?
They're already trying to tie him down to a new contract. Apparently he has a clause that says if Real Madrid come knocking after 2 year, he's free to talk to them.Quote:

well according to this seems a bit far fetched ?
