Tan questioning why Malky went for Cornelius when 13 year old Haaland was obviously a better option.Originally Posted by Harry Paget Flashman
KDB just got a 7th for Man City
Haaland’s were typical predatory striker’s goals, killer instinct. Gundogan’s & de Bruyne’s were things of beauty, absolute picture goals.
give me striker like haaland anyday over those other two.
Haaland was just a second faster to react for every goal, pure instinct he made every goal look simple, most players wouldn't have even been able to head in that one goal it would have flown over their heads, but they would have still been looking at where the ball was going anyway.
classic
When on it, which is often clearly, I can't see how you defend against him.
He is unlikely to do a messi style dribble past everyone but apart from that he has everything. It usually looks like a man against boys.
This still annoys me every time I read it. What were you thinking when you posted this? Just because he’s tall and blonde and Scandinavian you thought there was a comparison to make? 🤦*♂️
Haaland had scored 62 goals in 67 games for Borussia Dortmund, let alone all the goals for other teams and his country. There was nothing at all to suggest he would be Man City’s Cornelius, they didn’t even break the bank by their standards to get him, unlike us with Cornelius.
I think Cornelius gets a bad rap.
Yes, he was s*** here. Quite a few are.
He has had a half decent career though.
City didn't 'break the bank' with the Cornelius transfer. The club signed Caulker and Medel for larger fees after Cornelius had arrived.
Yes I believe we broke our transfer record a few times that season and I remember it being said that we had spent (or wasted) more than any other promoted club ever before us.
I think the biggest kick in the teeth was it was clear in the promotion season we needed a good striker, so to then spend 7m on a “project” was a disgrace, I can certainly see why Tan was livid, I know I was and it wasn’t my money.
Looking back, if only we had sacked Malky and Warnock upon promotion and got in a manager with experience, I don’t think we would be in this position today…..although maybe still red.
It's odds on he'll be considered the greatest striker of all time
If he gets the ball outside the box, it’s inevitably a short pass and he’s off into the box like shit off a shovel, very rarely tries to dribble he just anticipates, usually with success, where the ball is going to end up. Outstanding player.
He's certainly got the most stupid haircut of all time
he doesn't even have the most stupid haircut in the Man City team, have you seen Phil Foden?
😂I honestly thought when I posted that - I bet The Lone Gunman points out that we paid more for other players that window.
I don’t know exactly what the cliche “break the bank” has to be defined as, but what I meant was we broke our transfer record to sign him.
Man City were no where near their club record when signing Haaland, so my point that the comparison doesn’t even work on that level is definitely valid.
What’s it like to be so predictable?
In that case, you probably should have said we broke our transfer record to sign him.
What's it like to be so predictable? Almost certainly better than it is to be annoyed over somebody else's daft footballer comparisons.
Another fantastic insight from the Factory.
It's what I am here for
This is very true but my bet is that his £900k a week wage is a club record.
For splott parker
Now compare this to Dixie Dean's astonishing 63 competitive goals for Everton in 1927-28...

Dean had 51 goals in his first 36 games that season, which is 12 more than Haaland. However, Dean only went on to play five more games in 1927-28, ending the season with 63 in 41 apps. pic.twitter.com/Jx3C84PvYN
�� I find it fascinating though that Dean needed a good few in the last couple of games to beat Camsell’s record, in fact needed a hat trick in Everton’s final game, which he got.
I’m a very laid back person actually, it’s not often I will pick at something someone has posted on here, where as you on the other hand seen to treat it as a full time job.In that case, you probably should have said we broke our transfer record to sign him.

For someone so laid back, you seem awfully tetchy. Don’t let the OP’s comparison upset you so, just laugh at it like the rest of us do. You’ll feel better, I guarantee it.
