The tables have truely turned in every possible sense.We used to have number 9s like him. Now it is city who have them while we have no strikers.

I didn’t even take that into consideration absolute goldWhat's great about that post is the idea of a move to Real Madrid or Bayern Munich representing a humbling.
It has and the gap is only increasing.The tables have truely turned in every possible sense.
I know, he's a troll master, not easy to lure out.No, because he only scored as many goals as Phil Foden, and Foden is worse than Dusan Vlahovic, so he is still a fraud.
Or something. But Im fairly certain the poster you are attempting to summon is a performance act and not a genuine opininon
No. Not even close.Was RvN better than Haaland?
I think and fear that he'll suffer a similar fate to R9. Too big, fast and powerful for his knees to keep up. If I'm wrong, and I hope I am, he'll end up at the greatest goalscorer in football history. The bloke's a freak show.In terms of pure goalscoring, he's up there. His freak flying kick goal definitely shows he's not limited, but Cristiano still had those legendary screamers and free kicks. I'm not sure how much it matters though if Haaland continues like this. He's in a perfect setup and he's scoring almost 2 goals a game in the pl. Depressing really for the rest of us.
I think you got to give ETH time though, it’s only his 7th game and he’s had one transfer window. He’s also still got many players who need to be sold at some point over the next couple of transfer windows.It has and the gap is only increasing.
Jammy knees is often the cause of injury because our knees were meant to support us on four limbs. Our body has not caught up in evolution terms. But Haaland does not have the musculature that R9 had around his legs. Haaland does not seem to be the type of player to get injured, or maybe he has just been lucky since joining City.I think and fear that he'll suffer a similar fate to R9.

He will not join Madrid unless Benzema leaves (at least one more season after this). Benzema is never going to be pushed out as he is a fan favorite but most importantly he is adored by Perez.Hopefully he fecks off to PSG or Madrid soon.
Ah c'mon. Dude is a great finisher and a physical specimen. His strengths and City's needs overlap beautifully. I mean, he's being spoon fed by a generational midfielder and a footballing philosophy that all but guarantees you'll have like at least 3 sitters per game. He's nowhere near to being the best footballer on the planet. That's just ridiculous. He's not even the best player on his team ffs.He is the best player in the world now.
There i said it.
I know he hasnt step overs like R9 or dribbling like Messi.
Everyone knows what they get with him. Everyone gets it right in there faces. No matter who he plays for or who he plays against. He just keep on wrecking it all.
This proves Eliteserien is the only non farmers league he has played in.
Levels.
Haaland looks to be Ruud on massive amount of steroids. Ruud one of my favourite ever players, but Haaland is a genetic freak.Was RvN better than Haaland?

I heard his coach at Molde was a p/e teacher, you have to factor that in.This proves Eliteserien is the only non farmers league he has played in.
Cold, hard numbers, it's science.This proves Eliteserien is the only non farmers league he has played in.
RVN was a great striker i loved him, Haaland is better, much better.Was RvN better than Haaland?
He is also 34. He doesn’t have many years left in the legsHe will not join Madrid unless Benzema leaves (at least one more season after this). Benzema is never going to be pushed out as he is a fan favorite but most importantly he is adored by Perez.
Let's hope so. I remember R9 when he was still playing for Eindhoven and never got over of what he would've achieved without injuries.Jammy knees is often the cause of injury because our knees were meant to support us on four limbs. Our body has not caught up in evolution terms. But Haaland does not have the musculature that R9 had around his legs.

We’ve never had a striker like himWe used to have number 9s like him. Now it is city who have them while we have no strikers.
Benzema never really relied on pace. He’s like Harry Kane (a 9.5) who can also play as a wide forward. Based on his performances last season, Benz has at least 2 more seasons left.He is also 34. He doesn’t have many years left in the legs
Haaland was a crock at Dortmund. Back injuries, primarily.Jammy knees is often the cause of injury because our knees were meant to support us on four limbs.

Not relying on pace doesn’t make you less susceptible to aging. Especially with the current ludicrous schedule.Benzema never really relied on pace. He’s like Harry Kane (a 9.5) who can also play as a wide forward. Based on his performances last season, Benz has at least 2 more seasons left.
Yea. He started playing only two months ago.Ah c'mon. Dude is a great finisher and a physical specimen. His strengths and City's needs overlap beautifully.

Not blaming ETH by any way. Not his fault for the incompetence that preceded him. Just saying city are growing at a faster rate.I think you got to give ETH time though, it’s only his 7th game and he’s had one transfer window. He’s also still got many players who need to be sold at some point over the next couple of transfer windows.
Hopefully in January we can get a striker and another right back. Then in the summer we will need to spend big again. Anything less won’t be good enough.
Agreed, Ronaldo’s thigh muscles were huge, he looked like a sprint cyclist. The power that must have been going through those joints must have been crazy. He was also a naturally bigger guy (just have to see how he has ballooned after retiring).Jammy knees is often the cause of injury because our knees were meant to support us on four limbs.

For sure, they have taken a team that would probably be in league two by now and made them into the best team in the world. Sickening really.Not blaming ETH by any way. Not his fault for the incompetence that preceded him. Just saying city are growing at a faster rate.
Read my second sentence. He's a great finisher. Let me ask you something - how much do you think Haaland has changed in these 2 months that he's been in the Premiership? Do you really think he made some crazy leap from being an excellent finisher (with world class potential) to being the best player on the planet; or are you, along with millions of Premiership fans, just wallowing in recency bias cause the man is doing exactly the same job he did in Dortmund, just 700km closer and at a shinier stage?Yea. He started playing only two months ago.
He never scored at Dortmund, Norway or Zalsburg.
He cant score unless Bruyne is there.
His face is definitely punchable, but he truly looks like a nice bloke.Maybe its just his face that I'm judging, tbf. I'm shallow like that!
He looks punchable and nice at the same time?His face is definitely punchable, but he truly looks like a nice bloke.
