R9 was better at a younger age, really underrated passer of the ball as well, but Haaland is in that mould of R9 for sure in the sense that he shouldn't be as quick as he is for his size. It gives him a ridiculous advantage.

Dortmund are probably the stupidest team ever for letting him go so cheap. Who puts a release clause that low on a player that is easily worth over 100m
Scary motherfecker. Freak of nature that shouldn't exist
Haaland wanted that clause, no?
It was smart business. They got him cheap, got a lot of goals out of him and made good transfer profit. The alternative to that clause would have been not signing him at all.
No one else is going to win the league until he fancies Madrid or Barca.
They put it in so they could get him. If they didn't, he would have went elsewhere. They still made a profit.
Wouldn't sign him if they didn't accept it, so nothing stupid about it
They knew this could happen at the time, but they accepted their position as a stepping stone club. They can't be too greedy or no talents would want to go there anymore
This guy is like a cheat code. And together with de Bruyne totally unfair.
Don't think they had a big say in the matter. Mutually beneficial situation where they got a very good return on their investment and the player moves on to bigger things.
He’s rather good isn’t he?
I don’t think this league has seen a player like him. It’s like watching a professional footballer against the local group of kids. He will break every goal scoring record in this league. Some in his very first season.
feck me he's ridiculous
He has that in his locker I’m afraid. I tried arguing against the «just a poacher», because it’s not true. He can make excellent assists and his football intelligence in the final third is second to none. Still can’t really get past players easily with the ball though, if he doesn’t have the option to just run straight past them.Assisting now as well
It’s impossible not to admire the guy. Absolute machine.

Outrageous.
What's the most number of league goals scored in the PL? Was It Kevin Phillips with 30? Reckon Haaland can easily get 40-45
I despise him, why the ferk would I admire him? Ferk him and ferk man city.
I said it when they signed him, the league’s over. People told me he wouldn’t get more than 15-17 in his first year in the epl. Don’t wanna quote you guys but you’re not looking too wise now. All the false 9 brigade needs to shut up.
Ferk?
The final piece of the Abu Dhabi jigsaw. May well be enough to buy that CL
Third successive home hat-trick. And Southampton up next.
He's just a cheat code.
I think so too
Has that ever been done before?
luckily his dad said he might do a few years in every country, so only 3 years of this drumming
You seem wound up by him.
Imagine the ferking he could give your missus as well… I bet she’d ferking love it. Which makes the whole thing even more ferking annoying and makes you even more ferking wound up.
Both of them are disgusting
I'd imagine he ends up with a 50+ goal season
31. Ronaldo and Shearer twice. The real contest is whether he can beat Messi's 50.
EDIT: Wait, forgot about Salah, 32.
Most PL hatricks in a season
1995/96 Alan Shearer 5
2016/17 Harry Kane 4
2017/18 Sergio Aguero 3
2018/19 Sergio Aguero 3
2022-23 Haaland 3

I’m 28, don’t have a wife.
And I’m sorry, I’m on a ManUtd forum. You want me to be singing his praises when they’re crushing it? Idiot
Making the league look like a joke. United bitterness aside, it has got to be very hard to find much excitement in this year's Premier League? Seems like the drama is restricted to which records they will break and by how much...
Ferking hell mate, chill the ferk out.
Commentators said earlier he's on his way to being considered as good as Mbappe and Ronaldo - feck that he's already there and then some.
Someone needs to a run a metal detector over him as I’m not convinced he is human.
