Hope he works out like Drinkwater for you, no offence

I hope he works out like Kante has.

 

[Marcel Proust]

Let’s see if he is the best CF in the league. I’m not so sure and would not swap him for Harry Kane right now.

Good call mate

Haha, I'm hoping more Kante/Chilly.

I think he's going to fit in nicely next to James. Already got a bromance and matching haircuts happening lol.

 

[Cruyff14]

Genuine question - why not look at his (it's) Twitter history?

More lazy than zizu

Pretty touchy and defensive reply this.

That's one interpretation

That's one interpretation

And a valid one too.

It was a harmless question to which you have reacted badly to.

If you consider me saying press the link and scroll down a bit, a bad reaction.

Some might say your a bit touchy yourself

Yep, better have some kind of buyback. We are the worst sellers in history.

Apparently he does.

The new David Kent.

“I can type in, say, 'David... Kent'. It takes a little while. There - Two thousand, two hundred and thirty matches. Just click on one, at random. Aaaagh, there. 'Dutch player must be punished for refusing to leave Barcelona’
Now, you do not punish someone, Dutch or otherwise, for having refusing to leave Barcelona”.

Still wouldn't swap him (although this opinion may change). Kane offers better link up play than Haaland and is proven in this league for a long time now, against the best teams.

Are a usually an early ejaculator? Haaland has played 6 games with sliver service against teams where he should fill his boots. I'll wait until he starts banging them in against the top 6 before I grab the tubesock.

9 in 5 isn't a bad start is it?

Only scores in farmer leagues gone quiet pretty quick

If anything they should be rewarded.

They should be equal. I’ve always said that.

It's a very good start and he is obviously a wonderful player. I never stated that he isn't. So do you think it was really necessary to dig up my original post on the matter and rub it in my face like a smartarse? My comment was hardly inflammatory, nor was it a comment that was not open to a change of opinion at some point. Also, please quote anything where I said he "only scores in farmers leagues." I am pretty sure I have never made that comment (and will own it if I did). I may have stated (not sure but possibly) that he played in an inferior league. What part of that is incorrect? Every other league IS an inferior league.

I am not sure what you are actually trying to achieve here. My opinion, just so you are crystal clear is that a player needs more than a handful of games in this league to overtake the guy who has arguably been the best striker in this league for the past 7-8 years. Haaland may very well be that guy but I sure as hell am not calling it after 6 games against mid-lower table opposition.

City are not invincible as you correctly said but they are closer than you think.

The implication haaland and city won't be very, very good with a well coached billion dollar squad + haaland is audacious I reckon

Where did I insinuate that?

Do you have me confused with somebody else?

And just how do they force him out? He has a contract.

The whole FDJ affair is a complete farce. Barcelona should hang their heads in shame over how they have handled this.

Put him in the 2s?
