Anyone else get the feeling that Haaland might be Man City's Andreas Cornelius?
No
No.
No
I think he's going to be brilliant for them
If he gets injured preseason I can't see Haaland being rushed back to the first team too quickly, unlike our Andreas.
Think he'll do just fine. He may not have the same goals to games ratio he's used to, but it'll br great to see him play in the Premier.
No
But it struck me how particularly ugly he was on the weekend
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
No
No

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
Indeed not but I have gone with Harry Kane until I can see how he settles
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
Think he’s already answered this question.
No is the answer
Could be a decent thread this.......
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?
He's quickly got into the fall over like he's been shot school
Fecking ponces the lot of em
He's got a complete arse of a haircut too
Diver , crap haircut
Dion Dublin getting paid silly money to blow smoke up his arse
This is a fecking joke this modern football lark
Watching the West Ham and the Community Shield matches, I was struck by how Man City have found it hard to adapt their style to accommodate Haaland.
He's clearly a class striking act - anyone can see that - but still City are intent on getting the ball out to their 'wingers' for the killer pass into the box. When Haaland was slid in by de Bruyne for his second goal, THAT was what he wanted. Yet this move only happened once in today's match. I saw at least two occasions when he started a run for a through ball - which never happened. It's obvious that he will be playing on the defender's shoulder, looking for that type of pass. He's got pace to burn - and looks very strong.
Best striker in world football right now. He will get chances ,plus the penalties , as Roy Keane pointed out. 30-40 goals is not out of the question.
First match of the season, De Bruyne splits the defence with an absolutely perfect ball through to pick up a perfect run from Haaland who finishes it and kills the game with his second goal.
Football fan on the internet: "it only happened once, they're struggling to accommodate him"
Haaland looked so quick over 15 yards. Man is a beast.
