Erling Haaland

Except the last Scandinavian guy was overhyped and never did great in the CL while Erling is already very much proven in the CL and seems to be a guaranteed goalscorer.

Didn't Inter also win a treble with Eto'o the moment he left? Can't be a coincidence every single time

Yeah yeah I like Erling and said already one year ago that he is the one crack that Barcelona should go for if any.
Don't know what your point is with Eto'o there...

lol at how rumours went from 'Barca has outsider chances to get Haaland' to 'Barca will prepare a specific plan for Haaland's injuries'.

Congrats lads.

Great signing for the moment atleast.

This guy's a guaranteed goalscorer and very young despite all the caveats that can be mentioned.

Tebas' comments were pretty telling

Still feel like he'll end up at City although it's been talked about pretty much everywhere how he prefers to play in Spain.

Laporta: "I deny that there's been any type of negotiation for Haaland. Meeting between Xavi and Haaland in Munich? That is none of my business. It's a conversation between sportsmen without any type of negotiation." [sport]

He could just put the 75m bid in for Haaland, like with Beckham back in the day, just to have the legal right to talk to Haaland.

Being dependent on Messi had nothing to do with him being a star. It was because of his play style and having the ability to unlock defences. If we play the same with Haaland and give him the ball as often as we can, it'll lead to nothing. Team must be cohesive already before Haaland arrives. He'll be the icing on the cake, not the foundation.

When someone is a superstar, comes in as a superstar, and gets paid the highest wage in the team (or even worse substantially higher than the 2nd)
he has a certain status, authority, and power in the dressing room.
And that means (more often than not) that the team has to adjust to his wishes and needs, rather than the other way around.

Messi wanted to drop as fuck'n deep as he wanted to touch the ball, and the ball always to pas through him.
It was his desire that completely fucked up our way of playing.

Haaland will have other desires that might as well fuck up the functionality of our way of playing.

Superstars help better sell the team, Haaland will be the focus and others like Pedri, Gavi and Ansu will be auxiliary for those that prefer someone different to him.

That's the antiquated logic Laporta is after

Sorry, we are in 2022

Barca get better with Haaland.

Teams get worse when give up elements of game that is too much to cover and that doesnt come with Haaland.

Real are not getting worse because they get Mbappe and Barca dont get worse if get Haaland.
