How was it, wasn't he a RM fan? Or am I full of shit?
If he is clever he doesnt go to Real, too much ego players with Mbappe, vini and ham

Doesn't look like much is going to change with him against the big teams and top defenders.
Seems almost content to let the big games drift by whilst getting extra motivated for stat padding sessions against tomato cans.
Should count massively against him, because in the future his fans will use his stats as a marker as to why he is one of the greatest strikers of all time. And his stats are and will be outrageous. But he is just always going to be a tier below for me, until he gets the big game monkey off his back.

AGAIN:
He will be terrible for the football we are playing under Flick...
He can only act as a spearhead making the runs in behind,
BUT he can't drop deep and combine, his touch is heavy and he doesn't have combinational awareness.
Central combinations is the way Flickball works
Even Lewa, who has much better technique than Haaland, finds it hard
Given money/cost and all that, he will become the new Coutinho and new Griezman
NO THANKS

His record in semi finals and finals isn't great so far but he's only 24 so plenty of time for that to change. Bar Madrid he's scored against every opponents and on more than one occasion.

Pretty wild he's still 24 man
Some players at his age are still developing, coming to the stage and shit

It doesn't always work out in practice as it does in theory, but I do tend to agree with this (as I say, in theory).

Not great ?
It's literally trash , boss
Doesn't he have like 0 goals and assists in like 10 games ( semis + finals ) for City so far ?
Embarrassing.

True brother but that can change. He contributed 7 goals in the KO stages when they won the treble so wasn’t completely useless.

I think five of those came in one game against Leipzig though.
It's not even that he doesn't score - it's that the way he plays does not facilitate other players or make the team better. He just camps in the middle waiting for service, it's like playing with ten men.
He isn't one of those players who makes the players around him better. In fact he relies on the brilliance of others to make him look good. Now you can say that's the life of a striker/poacher but I honestly think they'd be better with a more rounded player up top and more dimensions to their game. The argument against this is they generally didn't do great in the CL before he signed, but it's not like he was a difference maker when they won it either generally.
I just feel they were better when they were more of a team and sharing the goals around. It's risky business funneling all your service through this guy, because he's invariably marked out of big games and then they're playing a man down or lost for ideas. I know he scored at the weekend against Arsenal, but he then disappeared for the rest of the game and when Arsenal bunkered in. It's no surprise that he had success in that game early and when Arsenal weren't defending as deep - his goal came from his pace in behind. He's very one-dimensional.
Guardiola knows himself how limited Erling is - Pep isn't an idiot. He said he's much more reliant on service in a way a Messi or Neymar or someone like that is not.
