Erling Haaland

christ imagine if utd spent 120m on sancho...phew. I won't say bullet dodged because he's great, but he clearly relies more on the team than you expect from an individually brilliant 120m player like Chelsea's Hazard, Barcelona's Neymar, Dortmund's Dembele and so on.

Mildly amusing how fashionable talking about him has become. It's got to the point that even when he has one of his absolutely standard shit games, which surprises absolutely nobody who watched him play, cartwheelers feel the need to post and hype him.

He can be great but he does often have those games where he gets absolutely dispossessed for a past-time, dribbling in to traffic etc. Dortmund in general suffer against teams that sit back.

imo he is a bit overhyped, he is a great player but looses the ball way too often for his class.

Not a good game for Haaland today, and for Dortmund. I liked the few minutes of Moukoko

It is fair to say that his dribbling and ball control are not his best attributes. Also in spite of his height, he cant head that well. Still... Only a kid. Will improve in time and with good coaching.

Missed a sitter today but every game without fail Dortmund are asleep for the first 45 minutes. Sancho was terrible today.

He's been below par all season. That free-kick in the Champions League is about the only impressive thing he's done of late.

 

[Andresito]

In our system we see that a CF doesn't have to be that good of a dribbler.

Pressing, making runs in behind, playing simple 1-2's with Messi/Griezmann and poaching in the box. Always keeping the CB's occupied.

Braithwaite does his job but obviously isn't good enough. Haaland would be perfect in his role.

Prime Suarez and Eto'o have conditioned Barcelona fans that in order for a number 9 to be successful at Barcelona he must be a ComPLeTE sTRIkEr: playmaker, be great at passing, dribbling, off the ball movement, great at finishing and great aerial presence. Basically you're conceding that you're only willing to bet on talents that appear once or twice every two decades.

A successful striker needs to score tons of goals at a high level, that's it. Leave the playmaking, dribbling, and passing to wingers and midfielders.

Bring him in this winter and we can talk about la liga again.

Saw on Reddit that according to MigRico (?) 3 presidential candidates contacted Radiola regarding Haaland. The numbers supposedly are 70 mil + 20 for the agent and the player.

Doubt he’ll go for that price. Saw an estimated value on Twitter other day of 150m for him....

Nope.

20 together.

Campaign hoopla and desperation for bragging rights I suppose, nothing substantial. Haaland would not fall on some empty promises.
