Who isn't admitting he is a top class player though?

I don't think it's a stretch to say he has picked well - attacking teams in attacking leagues. His agent team are not stupid. Next he can go to Bayern or Madrid or PSG and nothing will change for him. It's also a stretch to say he wouldn't score in Serie A, although I'm absolutely confident he wouldn't have 9 goals in 3 home games in current Juve under Allegri lol.

Are you still talking about Haaland?

His numbers weren’t as crazy as they were in Spain though..

true, but he still ripped serie a in his 30s with average like rabiot, matuidi, sandro, mckennie as his creators.

imagine he had pirlo vidal, pogba. he would have easily scored 35+ goals every season. higuain showed that with napoli.

we gotta stop using the space excuse for serie a. there is no such thing as lack of space in serie a, only shit tactics

All you need to know is there were people, several, on this forum telling me Luca Toni would break every Bundesliga scoring record and I don't think he broke a single one.

Having no space is code for bad coaching.

Wait so people can't admit that Halaand is a top class player, possibly best striker/player of the generation, so now they say he shines because EPL defense is shit? Give me a fucking break. You had that excuse when he was in Germany and even then it was silly, now it's just plain stupid. City got their hands on gold.

Anyone who says shit like that, just show them his CL goals record.


He has a career average of more goals then games, in over 3 leagues and and CL.


Kid is a legit all time great scorer.


Its that simple.

Haaland > Mbappe. Best striker of this generation. He destroys in CL too which should quiet any arguments about League style, etc. Besides, when you scoring well over a goal a game over entire seasons, it really doesn’t matter what top league you are doing it in. You’re a superstar.

there's a lot of space in cl though

seriously, haaland is special. his final touches are crazy effective, and not only that, his awareness is his best skill imo. you can see that he's constantly checking around and is usually first to arrive to crosses. his passing isn't bad either, he already has some assists too. if city doesn't win the cl with him then guardiola is officially the biggest choker ever in that competition. he didn't have too many excuses lately, with haaland, he exactly has zero.

Give him an all time great midfield of Modric-Kroos instead of meme midfielders like Can and Rabiot or donkeys like Matuidi. And give him one of the best players of this generation in Benzema to support him and he would score 50 goals per season in Serie A easily.

He joined aged 30 lol. Still had a good Bayern career though.

Btw the lack of space argument doesn't have anything to do with player quality, as we know Serie A is not full of quality defenders anymore. It's only about how teams set up, both the attacking and defending team. And tbh Serie A has moved away from being defensive a long time ago. But it's normal that a big team facing off against a small team will play its fair amount of teams who consolidate and counter attack, reducing attacking space. We see that being done to teams still at CL level, but fewer than it happened in the past. It happened to Liverpool more recently in the PL. I think teams will have to do it more with City going forward, but Man Utd will never play like that as their pride and standing is too high.

Imagine if we had signed Haaland... we wouldn't have to watch Susan Vlahobitch's horrendous first touch

He easily is, and I hate that ugly fuck.

We did get the next best thing tho IMO - Vlahovic.

How a footballer does not improve on that is beyond me..
It is a skill that you can gain by practice

 

[Juve-BG]

Another goal contribution for Cancelo, but sadly, his defensive game is weak

Haaland here would not be scoring nearly as much as he does for city.

Remember Mario Jardel? How come he never joined a bigger club? Dude was a goal machine.

 

[Hist]

Haaland is the target man City needed for when tiki taka is blocked, now they have this giant in the box that they can send in balls that he'll likely put away. It gives them a different dimension so this season I'd be fearful of them.

Yesterday we played a lot better but there was little in terms of intricate play, it was direct and it worked. I worry that we don't have the variety but that could change with Chiesa and Pogba.

THIS. He scores all manner of deflections and ambitious goals his instinct for being in the right place at the right time is sublime. Has that pipo inzaghi thing. So he'll score tons from plays that are designed by Pep's system as any good striker backed up by this creative machine should and he'll also score all kinds of random improvised or "lucky" goals, and its these random goals are what City has always missed under pep.

 

[swag]

Come on. He's a fantastic player. But let's be real. The EPL didn't invent him, as they often claim.

If Haaland ever committed murder, he could play under Allegri with this squad to hide from the authorities because nobody would know he exists.
