Or baseless arguments.

I tend to agree that Haaland is more limited than some of the other generational-type talents at the striker position that you mentioned (I think 99% of players in history come up short against the likes of R9 and to a lesser degree Van Basten), but I also think in City he has absolutely no...

The man has 50 g+a in 36 games this season so far...

People used to say that about CR7, flat-track bully, can't do it in the big games, until he did. Haaland is young, he has time to shed this reputation. It's earned for now, but with City being the absolute best team in Europe (IMO), he will have more chances at the big stage to change the narrative.

Ah the mighty PL argument, always a staple that never holds much weight under any type of scrutiny. Yes, I'm sure Mbappe would mightily struggle in this City side against the likes of Leeds, Southampton, or Everton. :lol: Erling's doing far better than in the Budensliga, is that because it's...

One look at their heat map will answer that. It's not as if they've ever occupied remotely close to the same spaces. The fact that Mbappe gets close to Haaland's numbers is what makes him remarkably better as an overall player, because Haaland is in the opponent surface as much as possible and...

Simply remarkable turn of events. Imagine some wanted to keep a 38 year old CR7 over this guy. Most of those are probably on some obscure Saudi Arabian message board now. Casemiro has also been a key addition. As others, I doubt it can translate to a title run this season, but the future is...

I have, but that's not the point I'm making. That video is clearly edited to make Haaland look bad, but it's not what's helping make the argument. You can just watch both players and come to the conclusion, I feel, even with my own bias aside. Haaland is a better goalscorer, Mbappe is simply a...

Watch Messi not even entertaining this and getting some rest for a real game.

Chelsea is really playing FM in real life. Completely baffling decisions these past couple of seasons.

I still think City has a lot of mileage left in their winning run. However, it's undeniable that a guy like Pep is prone to burning out, he gets far too crazy and emotionally involved that I sometimes wonder if the guy's heart isn't going to give out, and I mean that literally, not as a figure...

Not much left to lose at this point, feels like.

I don't think anybody needs the video to come to that conclusion.

I think he'd break records anywhere he went because football is so top-heavy now that any team that could actually afford Mbappe is probably dwarfing financially 95% of the rest of their league at minimum. Since there's maybe 2 teams at best that can compete within that league, with the rest...

Yes, as opposed to Madrid, that financially prudent bunch. :lol:
