How would current in-form Mitrovic do in this City team with the best service in the world by far......I wonder.
Haaland v Núñez v Mitrovic?
- Thread starter horsechoker
- Start date
Some of the posts on the first page 
You can call it hindsight but Håaland already had a much better CV than Nunez at the start of the season but somehow some geniuses thought he was better than Håaland.
It's probably the delusion that Klopp never makes bad signings.

Haaland's record is really impressive. However we should not include CR in here as he didn't start as a striker, to be fair to him.
It’s like comparing Mbappe vs Rashford vs Martial, or something.
Seriously Haaland is on his own league. So it probably should be Mitrovic v Nunez.

What happened to Aguero? Didn't he and Haaland have the exact same stats after 5 games?
You would hope Nunez follows the footsteps of his fellow Portuguese league top scorers such as Jackson Martinez, Bas Dost, Carlos Vinicius, Pizzi etc.

Kinda wondering why we didn’t test the waters and go for Toney.
I guess there are two reasons top clubs haven’t gone for Toney; small sample size in terms of premier league performance, price.
I’ll be surprised if he doesn’t get a move at the end of this season.

Just checked Transfermarkt. Looks like he had 8 goals after five games. And the 10th came in his 11th game. With several more before game 24. So pretty sure that stat is incorrect.
Yeah just checked that myself and Aguero scored 10 goals in 11 games in the league. Which looks great, until you compare it to Erling.
But a good reminder nonetheless. I imagine people were saying the same about Agüero breaking the league as they are now about Haaland, yet eventually his numbers became more human.Yeah just checked that myself and Aguero scored 10 goals in 11 games in the league.

Currently, Haaland 10 goals ….Man Utd 5 goals
I guess City fans won't mind Haaland going on to have to the same career as Aguero.
I'm not buying those comparisons. Ronaldo was clearly on a decline ever since he joined Juve. Simply wasn't anywhere close to being the beast of player he used to be when he rejoined us. Lukaku is a tier below Haaland on ability, and more importantly several tiers below on mentality.
Also wouldn't say either had racing starts, certainly not in comparison to Haaland. Ronaldo had 3 in 2 and then didn't score in the league again until the end of October. Lukaku had 3 in 3 and then didn't score again until the end of December. Haaland has double figures in the first gameweek in September.
Not denying that opponents will study counter tactics but on the flip side City are also still adjusting from a false 9 system. They aren’t completely on wavelength yet with the kind of striker Haaland is.
Aguero was a 1 in 2 striker before he joined City. Haaland has pretty much been a 1 in 1 striker since he turned 19. Sure, he won’t score 10 every 6 PL games forever. But pure goal scoring wise he’s a different beast to Aguero. If he regresses to the mean it would leave him with a goal around every 80 mins. Aguero scored every 108 mins at City.
Aguero became the most prolific striker the league has ever seen. I wouldn't use him as hope that Haaland will slow down.
he would of 100% gone aswell.
He’s an alien. It’s the only to aptly describe him. He’s a literal alien. In the name of science, I think City should donate Haaland to us for a season just to fully and properly test the theory that we ruin strikers.
I wouldn’t take it that far. He’s an alien, not a miracle worker.
Sorry mate but this take was funny
No doubt. But I think they'd be disappointed at this point if he got 23 Premier League goals in his first season, like Agüero did (he won't, obviously).
That's true that Haaland's start is better than Ronaldo (I was also including his UCL goals as part of the good start) and Lukaku, but yea my overall point is that teams might adapt to City's tactics with Haaland.
That being said, the other point is true as well that there are occasions where Haaland's runs haven't been found by City players and there can be more oppurtunities for Haaland coming forward. Similar to when Fergie showed tapes of RVP's run to United midfielders and asking them to pass more, though whether Pep will fully integrate into that quick passing system, opposite to the slow possession based system he likes.
I don't think he'll be there next season but I think he'll want to stay with Brentford this season because I can see him pushing into the England World Cup squad if he continues.
How some of you made legitimate arguments that Nunez is a better striker than the guy with CL goalscoring records to his name.
Toney v Nunez is a better discussion, one that Toney is currently comfortably blowing out of the water

This aged like milk.
Haaland can spend the rest of the season on the bench. And it will still be far and away more of a productive season than Nunez.
In terms of quality its Haaland > Mitrovic > Nunez
but I think people are underrating Mitrovic the most. As for Haaland, trust me I want him to fail. I want to believe he's just the nordic Lukaku but I don't think it will happen. I think many football fans still don't understand what it means to be a goalscorer. It's the rarest most valuable skill, not beating your man.

First page of this thread is a riot.
What about now?
Donkey Darwin is winning this hands down.
Mitrovic is on fire considering who he plays for, reckon he could get close to 20 goals this season
13-1. 13-2 if we're counting the charity shield. At the current rate, by the time Nunez reaches 10 goals Haaland should have 130.
You have truly won the lottery with him,Ole had him at Molde and yet ended up joining our rivals is easily one of biggest mistakes in our history
Come on man, let's lose the **** attitude. We were right not to sign him up with that release clause he was after.
I am talking about pre release clause,that's where we monumentally fecked this one up
Directly from Molde, rather than Salzburg?
Yeah, we really messed that up
No one saw him becoming this good at Molde. Even at Salzburg he kind of disappeared under the radar for a little bit, and then made his debut at the end of his first season. Then he started on fire the next and the rest is history
Well sometimes you need to take risks on raw talents,just cannot accept someone at Utd was utterly blind to what he could become
