Real sure are favorites, but I wouldn't say Haaland is one shoe into his switch to Madrid just yet. Anything can happen, and I think City, with their resources, the presence of Pep and one of the best-functioning teams in the world right now, are still a very appealing proposition for Camp Haaland, not to mention his father's history with the club.

It s his fathers history that concerns me. He was seriously injured playing for City, because Roy Keane playing for United, decided to deliberately get him. Keane has admitted this.

Would his father now advise him to ‘stay away from the EPL?


MANCHESTER CITY midfielder Alf Inge Haaland has announced his retirement after failing to recover from a knee injury he says resulted from a tackle by Roy Keane. The 30-year-old damaged his left knee during a Manchester derby clash two seasons ago and has undergone three operations in an attempt to return to football. Ind.ie Aug 2003

Lightweights like Bernando Silva run rings in the EPL...and you are concerned that the greatest physical specimen in the game of football currently (a guy who bullied VVD recently, and VVD bullies everyone else including CR7) would have troubles with EPL?

:lol: There are many ways to hype the EPL, but this is not one of them chief.

Fair point this one, anyway, we will see where he goes in a few months' time

Don't see why he would stay at this point. Could swear 2-3 weeks ago some agent/football personality said he's got an array of weird RM memorabilia in his bathroom. Pretty sure he wants to go.

But I'm also convinced he doesn't know what he's in for.

Keane didnt end Haalands career.

The tackle he made was on the other knee Haaland retired due to complications on.

You’re right.

While it’s possible the tackle had a collateral effect and he did undergo surgery that summer, Keane targeted the right knee and the operation was on his left.

Haaland has said it was nothing to do with the tackle by Keane and his issues started in that left knee long before that game.

It is a myth often repeated as if Keane ended his career with that tackle.

Crazy if this lad turns out to have been right all the time. Stunning off-the-charts reading-into-situation abilities or simply luck?

RM still favourites, but glimmer of hope now for City.

Funny thing is, purely on what each team needs, as well as their individual playing styles, I could see Haaland in Real as a Benzema replacement, and Mbappe at City to fill the striker void...though I know that won't happen.


All that aside, why do I find myself pining for the both of them as a Bar?a fan? It is simply not possible for us to get either of them, let alone both

If Haaland does move to Madrid first, maybe Barca could tempt Mbappe. It would be super difficult but not impossible. Especially since Neymar and Messi have his ear. The price tag and finance will be trouble but also not impossible.

He could be the most marketable athlete in the world pretty soon. Messi, CR, Bron, and Fed are all on their last legs.
