Well first of all Haller is doing very well at BVB after testicular cancer and I know I'm a little biased but I did not see WW score many goals for Ajax in the CL. Haller scored 10 goals in the six matches of the group stage. A statistic only Ronaldo, Messi and Lewandowski can also show.
If you ignore the fact that Weghorst needed 1127 minutes just to score a goal in the Premier League, than yes.
He's doing okay, not as well as Weghorst has done in that league.
If I was comparing him to a player who succeeded in the premier league that would be relevant. Haller had a record of like 1 in 5 here.
Yeah they'll probably avoid the Ferrari, but it's dangerous is everyone's driving slowly and erratically to get a good look at that Ferrari.
Haller also did very well at Frankfurt which got him the transfer to the EPL. Let's say we'll continue this convo after Seb had another full BL season at BVB.
Well no the thing I was debating that up to this point it is strange to act like Haller has gone clear of Weghorst as a player.
Well I guess we should agree to disagree then. For me WW was always your poor man's Dirk Kuyt where Haller always had the potential to be a top striker. It did not always come out but at Ajax and BVB he has shown what potential he has.
He always seemed to have a smile on his face and despite most of the stuff going against him, he never stopped trying and running his ass off!
Fair enough although I think your description of Weghorst is slanderous! Didn't think I would get into defending Weghorst today so to be clear I don't rate either of them.
Haha, that's the charm of a football forum.
What a lovely lad.
He tried so hard, credit for that, if most of our big signings tried half as hard as him he e would be in a different place
Give me someone with say Angel Di Maria's level of talent who wants to be here and try as hard as he did and he'll instantly be my favourite player.
Haller is easily the better player stop it Weghorst is shit.
The thing is with di Maria he had second most assists in the league… give him another year and he would have even been better
And that was only really playing for 2-3 months before he decided to just stop.
Agree. Came here to say this.
It's been explained. It's somewhat romantic, and it's mainly driven by the fact he didn't really stop us reaching our attainable objectives last year.
I think "love" is overboard.
Really weird fetish
Spot on.
Because, everyone loves a trier.... He gave his best, didn't complain and worked damn hard.
Strange fascination with crap players that try hard
Why would you have to dislike a player just because they aren't good enough? It's not like Weghorst himself ever claimed otherwise. If anything, I'd rather question why so many people (deeply) dislike players on a personal level whose only 'sin' is really that they're not as good as people would like or the club would need them to be.
I don't hate him, your words not mine. I don't like him either. He wasn't our player so I don't have to unconditionally support him.
Working hard is the bare minimum, says a lot about the caf's ever changing low standards.
Hard work is the bare minimum, Fred works hard but is loathed on the caf. It's all bullshit.
