Erling Haaland

[Sweden]

To be fair we had to call in defenders from the bottom shelf because of an insane amount of injuries this session.
And we are implementing a new system that will take time and patience (and will affect our performance/results).
But Norway are ahead of us right now.

What a legend! 4 goals in 2 games against Sweden over the last week. Won us both those games against our eternal rival.

Pep loves to see it

Man City, welcome to Erling.

(doesn't sound as good as Zlatan though )

His father has signed with City 22 years ago today. They've probably waited on this exact date to sign him.

His success depends on how big his ego is. That's the only variable that could ruin this. If he has some big Zlatan-like ego he would struggle there, because at City there is only one boss in that team and every player has to accept that and play along to the tune the master decides to play.

Nah, he'll score plenty regardless.

Technically they signed him again, in different form.

How much Haalands father got for the contract? 20mil?

These should be called "Stallion contracts".

Maybe Piques future business(another great idea for him)

The Zlatan comparisons are lazy. Their game is very different. Zlatan has never been as good a finisher as Erling is now. Zlatan's passing and technical ability is way more. Haaland is a team player and very dependent on service.

Ego isn't decided by interviews but by actual actions.

Let's see how Haaland gets on at City.

Haaland has actually done nothing to show much ego. Mbappe has a much bigger ego.

Guy's a machine.

Only at Molde (when he was 17-18) did he have a 'normal' output with 20 goals in 50 games.

Otherwise at Salzburg it's 29 in 27, Dortmund 86 in 89 and for Norway 20 in 21. Has done well everywhere.

Will be interesting to see if he can keep it up at City, and for how many seasons. Goalwise Messi and Ronaldo better watch out.

True. Definitely generational level upside.

Best young goalscorer I have seen.
