He's also in the perfect setup though. City have been in a different league to anyone but Liverpool for some years now. Now they have the perfect striker as well.

On the bright side, it will be years before we're realistically competing for the title. So at least he's worse news for some other cnuts in the meantime. Let's just hope he's fecked off by the time we're good again.
He has a very real chance of besting Messi's 50 goals in a league season doesn't he. I think Salahs 32 is almost guaranteed to be beaten
Every time he scores one sentence comes to my mind. "United is too big to accept release clause". That was bs decision
Really though? I mean it was only a matter of months ago people will insisting he wouldn’t fit in at City and that they needed a striker who was better on the ball…….
I wasn't one of those.
With 14 PL goals in 8 games, he is on a schedule for 66,5 goals.

The first pages of this thread are full of clueless posters saying Haaland would fail in the PL cause he is only used to score against Bundesliga farmers, and we are here now, with Haaland making the PL looking like a proper farmers league.
I hope Mbappe moves to the PL soon, so he and Haaland can make the PL look like a total farmers league.
Mbappe would destroy the PL as well, as soon as he plays for one of the top teams.

We should have let City get Ronaldo on 2021and trow all the money we had to this guy this previous summer, but of course our board doesn't have that type of vision 
Scoring is really that easy for the absolute best. I remember when Ronaldo and Messi were scoring 40+ league goals year in year out and people would boldly claim that they wouldn’t do it in the prem even though they were wiping the floor with the best prem teams in the CL.
Give me your update from today buddyWatching Šeško destroy and embarrass this Norwegian fraud was so satisfying.
How can you watch players like Šeško or Vlahovic and still think Haaland is special or generational? The hysteria and hype around Haaland will cool down when people catch up.
I agree with you which is why Haaland doing what he does or Ronaldo/Messi doing what they did in the CL, doesn't say much about the level of either competition. When you're great, nothing can stop you
Yup. He's making s mockery of the "mighty" premier league right now, and would do so in any league.

Haaland was nowhere near worth 100m when he signed for Dortmund. Captain Hindsight.
€60m release clause actually seemed reasonable for them when he signed.
His ability to find space in the penalty box is out of this world plus this guy has insane acceleration in a few meters, top speed, and football IQ, so it's almost impossible to mark him. Plus he has elite passers in KDB and a lot of guys. He will be one of the best strikers of all time if he doesn't have any hard injuries during these few years.
Let's be real, the PL hasn't really had the best players in the world in their league, it's slowly going that way. Scoring is that easy for those elite players. You put any of the names we mention in that City team, it's a boatload of goals. Or even how Arsenal are playing now, Liverpool a couple of season ago. Those elite players get to pick whatever team they go to, and they'll almost always pick the best team. Haaland obviously chose City because of what you mentioned, but you can slot him out and put Lewa, Benzema, or even Mbappe (3 players who I believe have scored against every single PL team they came across btw) and you'd still get a boatload of goals. The league is irrelevant to players of that level, because the league itself is so unbalanced to begin with (like almost every league out there), and they'll always be on the right side of that scale, tipping it further out of balance.
Three hat tricks already is outrageous.
We know City was good but this guy Haaland is the missing piece for them to win UCL, if they don't then Guardiola will never match Fergie status
He’ll probably get shearers record in 2 weeks time. He’s got 3 hat tricks in a row at home now.
He is a total beast. He is making me look like a right idiot doubting him. Incredible striker.
There's a morbid curiosity within me to see just how many goals he will score this season. The numbers he racks up are like if you're playing manager mode on amateur difficulty in FIFA.
He's showing up the PL to be a farmer's league

Elite players doing elite things doesn't say much about the overall quality of a league is what I'm saying. Haaland would have still scored if he played for Wolves, it's just made easier to do so at Man City
That's wrong. Ronaldo has 2. Newcastle 07/08 and Tottenham last season.
He would but not at this rate
Correct. I wish people would focus on the quality of players and the games they play rather than the leagues. This has always been the way for most of football history, didn't matter that Pele was playing in Brazil or Puskas in Hungary or Cruyff in Netherlands etc. Great players are great players. This farmers league nonsense is a very modern phenomenon.
Also the best way to compare players is through the Champions League where everyone plays (or World Cup). And the best players in the league, shock horror, also tend to be the best players in the Champions League as well.
He's a monster. Fkin unfair that Pep who was winning titles without a striker now has the best in the world
Well either way, 3 hatricks in 8 matches is outrageous.
He's more than half way to the all time mark for most hatricks in a season by Shearer, and it's only October.
Norwich?
Of course, never meant otherwise. Greatness overcomes most difficulties
He's natural, last one we had like him was Ruud
Wish I could listen to Ole’s pitch to try and get him to sign for us in 2020.
Ronaldo has 3. He had one against Norwich last season too.
And Norwich last season.
This would require people to stop being immature kids and use common sense
He is a better player than Mbappe, yes. Unfortunately for him though he isn't as exciting a player to watch and doesn't have an upcoming world cup to showcase his abilities to the wider world.
Martial has a better minutes to goals ratio this season.
Different gravy, but longevity defines the all time greats, if he's still doing this in 5 years no question he'll be one of the all time greats.
You think you’re being subtle but you’re not
That’s even scarier for the premier league. This guy has a 1 month rest coming up.
