Sometimes it feels like everyone in this country either support Liverpool or United, nothing else even comes close.
Erling Haaland | Dortmund player
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Sure, but in Norway there are two clubs, Manchester United and Liverpool. All other clubs have their fans but Manchester United and Liverpool are by FAR the biggest clubs, the names hold weight here.
I have no idea who Haaland actually is a fan of outside of Leeds, but given that a family friend is the manager of one of the two big clubs, theres at least the chance that there is a soft spot there.
Of course I'm just guessing, but that's my angle
I can’t see us being able to afford him, especially when he will no doubt be agitating for another move or contract after a year or so.
What will he do? Threaten to not play football and be in forfeit of his contractual obligations for the next 3-4 years? No way he signs a short term contract for any new club.
No one ever said you did. At least not that I know of. “'Norwegically', we're the best-placed in terms of landing him,” is a far cry from ‘nailed on’. At least in my book.
Is the bolded part because of Riise?
We all know who his agent is and the sideshow he brings with him.
More likely that those are the two clubs who dominated English football for 25-30 years. I'd be curious to see what clubs the young Norwegians are following these days.
Fair enough. You bringing me up as a target for told-you-so’s made me feel like you thought I’d been on some insistant soap box
Nah, English football has been huge since the 60s, and Liverpool’s 20 year dominance shaped allegiances. It was enough to make Ole a fan, back in the day, remember?
More like Kevin Keegan. Engish football is a huge romantic part of sports in Norway and the fandoms are very real and start from childhood, dating back as far as the introduction of football broadcast.
Oh, were still blaming all of you for getting our hopes up.Fair enough. You bringing me up as a target for told-you-so’s made me feel like you thought I’d been on some insistant soap box
Bolded part yes, but I was wondering if there was something in addition to that, such as another Norwegian who’d played for them during that time.
I was wondering if there were Riise vs Solsjkaer ‘factions’ in Norway.
I’d say the likes of Bjørnebye, Leonhardsen, Kvarme, and Heggem did more in that sense. Riise came hot on their heels.
And don’t blame me for what other Noggies say or do
Ooh, thank you. The bolded part was what I was curious about.I’d say the likes of Bjørnebye, Leonhardsen, Kvarme, and Heggem did more in that sense. Riise came hot on their heels.
And don’t blame me for what other Noggies say or do
Bloke is absolutely bonkers.
Never has there been a player more deserving of the words "force of nature".
The the 1 goal and 3 assists so far. Involved in every goal
2G+3A
This guy
Trying to upstage Pogba and Bruno at once.
Cant wait till he walks onto the OT pitch next season, Varane-style
Someone needs to sign him next season.
Outrageous player.
We will
We'll bite the bullet.
He will break records this season
Fixed.
This kid is a tornado. It's a shame he only wants to see go Madrid
This is based on?
Worthy of joining PSG
Duncan Castles, wasn't it?
where did you get that from?
this is the haaland thread, not mbappe'sJens Petter Hauge scores in his debut for Frankfurt in the same game, this is a fun day for Norwegian footballfans
Journalists close to Raiola. That's the reason he didn't even want to go to Chelsea. Both him and Mbappe only want to go to Madrid.
I'd give @Random Task's left and right nuts to get this guy! Immense player!
Lewandowski's ?
Signing this guy is a must to compete with City long term.
Also his runs will really suit Pogba if we keep him

There's going to be a big host of bidders for Haaland next season, Real Madrid and Manchester United are the only likely destinations assuming City signs Kane.
Real has lost a lot of the star allure the last 2 seasons, will be curious to see how they are doing. The buzz around Manchester United right now is pretty wild, and Haaland and Sancho became great friends in Dortmund. Of course that could mean nothing but its also possible it'll help sway some decisions.
I have no idea who that guy is. Google and it says he's tier 4.
You should not buy a word from that fat fecker let alone his entourage.
And I heard he didn't go to Chelsea because the asking price from Dortmund was too high?
Will be difficult, i was thinking of other records, maybe most G+A in a season or hattricks? If he stays injury free, anything is possible. Dortmund are super offensive again.
