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

If Man City are going to label him as a flop and sell him for £3m, can we have him?
No.
Tell me you're a closet Liverpool fan without telling me you're a closet Liverpool fan...
No
I think he's going to be brilliant for them
Haaland right now is a classic poacher. Sooner rather than later teams will figure him out and the goals will stop coming so easily.
In the meantime, he's amazing to watch.
Really? I think he’s got tremendous awareness and has the priceless knack of finding space and being in the right place at the right time. As young as he is he’s a veteran goalscorer already, 24 goals in 20 Champions League appearances, teams are taking their time figuring him out aren’t they? Teams also need to figure out Man City’s approach play which is setting him up, good luck with that.
Figure him out?
Football is so simple isn't it! Just gotta figure him out, easy.
He's big, smart and fast. Some of his runs remind me of Original Ronaldo.
They’ve been trying to figure Messi out for 15 years.
Nearly there!
Makes you wonder how any player above 24 has a career. They just keep getting figured out!
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
Lookist!
He's a beast he would have scored six if he had played for us on Tuesday, he creates more opportunities than Andy Cole with a shot to goal percentage rate that would probably double his, what a player.
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
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
he does look a bit like him though
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
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 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
He wasn't rushed back, Malky purposely kept him out under the pretext of injury, because he knew he had signed a dud.
Apparantly David Moyes recommended him to Malky, he was considering signing him before he left for Manchester United, Malky was on a visit to see him at Everton.
