I don't doubt he'll score goals but will it be enough to counter what they will lose in fluidity, pressing etc? There's a very good reason Klopp hasn't brought an out and out 9 even when Firmino couldn't hit a barn door. I wasn't worried about present day CR7 going back to United for the same reason, he's been superb individually but look at where United are.

Remember the game at The Bridge this season? The way they totally strangled us out of the game? They instantly lose that with Haaland. 

Halaand will have to buy into Peps demand for pressing. He has the legs for it. Although when watching Dortmund vs City in the CL last season, he was lazy as fuck.

Don't know if Lotito is telling the truth or just lying lol.

Erling Haaland: Man City confirm agreement to sign Borussia Dortmund striker in £51m deal

https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11679/12609563/erling-haaland-man-city-confirm-agreement-to-sign-borussia-dortmund-striker-in-51m-deal

 

51 million?

While Lukaku cost 97 million?

As I’ve said before, City’s attack is already ridiculous so it’s hard to feel really scared about them adding Haaland. They already score more than anyone. Him going there is better than Liverpool or United getting him and genuinely taking them up a huge level.

Still, it’s extremely embarrassing how much better run City are than us. Their recruitment makes our look amateurish.

Halaand to City confirmed.

Manchester set to dominate the league for another decade.

Fuck off.

If Chelsea had 200m to spend on fullbacks, they'd be doing better too.

Liverpool's recruitment has been better than City's and Chelsea's for years. They do it on a tighter budget too. Diaz, Jota, Thiago in the last couple of years were smart pickups. Initially flurry of signings gave them their spine - VVD, Allisson, Salah, Fabinho.

Oh, don’t get me wrong. They have to spend a fuck ton of cash to buy all their players but their success rate makes our look terrible. They have a couple here and there that don’t pan out but for the most part they turn into stars. 

Meanwhile, it feels like we hit on 1 in every 5 signings we make. We seriously haven’t got lucky with any of our biggest buys and that’s insane. Torres, Lukaku, Kepa, Werner. Even Havertz hasn’t lived up to his price tag yet.

City buy Ederson for £50m and he becomes the best keeper in the world. They buy Dias for £60m and he becomes world class. They buy Walker for £50m and he becomes world class. De Bruyne the same.  Mahrez the same. Cancelo the same. Rodri the same. And on and on…

Pretty much every expensive signing they make lives up to the billing. And the ones that fail to don’t hamstring them like they do here.

Real Madrid plastics are wetting the bed, lolol.

Yeah, we're the worst of the 3. It doesn't get talked about enough but Lukaku and Saul in the last window goes down as the worst window in years.
