Erling Haaland

Lukaku is def a good striker, he will do a good job under TT. I cant see us getting EH no matter where we finish, the outlay is too steep for just 1 player. Will cost near 200M with agent fees etc.....just not viable.

Tbf, Pep doesn't really play with a CF and he inherited Kun. He could be telling the truth on this one. Only time he brought a big CF it was a clusterf*ck (Zlatan.) 

Where do you get this notion? Not just Ibra’s time at Barca but the CF thing?

Anyway, signing Ibra was hardly a disaster, in terms of what he did on the pitch anyway - he certainly played a big part. He scored 21 goals in 41 games that season. His issue was Messi wanted to move centrally (which lets be honest if anyone knew how amazing he could play role they wouldn’t have signed a CF in the first place) and Pep fell out with Ibra (which if it were any other player who wasn’t as confident in himself like Ibra is, it would in all likelihood probably never have happened).

And secondly, Pep’s always played with strikers. This season is really the only time his team has prominently not featured a striker of some sort. At Barcelona Henry and Eto’o season 1, Ibra season 2, David Villa season 3, maybe 4th season not as often as Villa missed a lot of games and they had Cesc and Messi in the team. Maybe not as out and out strikers but your not telling me that because Henry or David Villa were playing as wide forwards or basically as split strikers due to other player’s in the team ie. Eto’o and then Messi, they dont count as strikers? They basically played as strikers in the final third? Coming very narrow, being in the box. At Bayern, he had Mandzukic first season and he was top scorer. Then Lewandowski. City, Aguero and Jesus.

They will probably try sign a CF for sure. His teams have 90% of the time played with a CF of sorts in their lineup be it wide forwards or an actual out and out CF. Plus you dont let Aguero go and not replace him at all.

On the day we crashed 5-2 at home to West Brom, Dortmund just lost 2-1 to Eintracht Frankfurt with Andre Silva scoring the winner. 7 points behind the top 4 with 7 games left.

Silva now has 22 Bundesliga goals this season, 1 more than Haaland.

I posted in the transfer thread if anyone has kept a close eye on him. He's having a terrific season numbers wise and maybe a potential alternative.

So was Jovic 2 years ago. Strikers from Bundesliga did not do well lately after big transfers. Werner, Jovic, Joelinton, Haller...

Michy and Alcacer were scoring for fun there.

Just a bad league overall. I have been saying this for a while now.

From what I have seen from him, I am not convinced.

So do you think Haaland is good or bad?

yes, the EPL is so far beyond any other league on the planet

La Liga is a joke after the top 3

and we smashed the their leaders

Serie A is so down from what it was in early/mid 2000's and of course the 1990's and mid to late 1980's when it was the clear runaway best league on the planet

Don't see Dortmund qualifying for the CL via the league. They're 7 points  behind now with a harder run in and only 7 games left.
