mikeyp102 Posted September 8, 2020 Author Share Posted September 8, 2020 Some talent. Yes the NI defence looked a shambles, but his finishing was superb. He’s strong, fast and has a good eye for goal. Really could go all the way to the very top. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just watched it after reading this. Unbelievable goal and he makes it look so natural and easy. Sign of someone who has potential to be one of the greats.

villalad21 Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 NI were without Jonny Evans and Jamal Lewis. Quite a big miss for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magnkarl Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 New hat trick last night. The guy is just a monster. In the highlights he missed a couple of sitters, it's like he gets so angry that he just smashes the ball in the next time he has it after he's missed. Fantastic player scoring in whichever team he plays in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenjiOgiwara Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 I find his height to be so weird for a top goal scorer. I think he's like 1.96 m tall. No idea what that translates into in your weird ass measurement system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Rino8 Posted October 12, 2020 Visiting Supporter Popular Post Share Posted October 12, 2020 Can't wait for him to want out of Dorrmund and push for a move to his favourite club. Probably even drop Bamford for him 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 (edited) Wikipedia has his career stats at 96 goals in 140 games at 20. Gramted Messi and Ronaldo played a higher level the entire career but probably got to 100 goals around 23 years old Edited October 12, 2020 by Zatman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villalad21 Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 He is no R9 but i respect what he does. As i did with Nistelrooy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stat wise Nistelrooy isn't even close to Haaland at the same age. Haaland has scored more CL goals, international goals and league goals in one season than Nistelrooy had before he got bought by Man Utd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think that fully does him justice though and I know what you're getting at. Potentially you have a Lewandowski level striker for the next 15 years, he's not there yet and watching him for full 90 minute games you can see he still has some growing to do but that's to be expected. He's not even had one full season in a major league. My only worry is that he ends up like a Norwegian Harry Kane. He can do much better than that Edited October 13, 2020 by Rino8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whenever i watch him he just seem like a really good fox in the box. Nothing special. We've seen many strikers like this before. As i mentioned. Van Nistelrooy, Vardy, Lukaku. The way people are talking it's like he is something we've never seen before. But we have. And we will see plenty of strikers in the same mold after he is retire. If you asked me about strikers and who is really unique and special i would have to say the Brazilian Ronaldo. I don't think we will ever see a striker like that again.

Oh yeah I agree that he's not going to be touching Messi/Ronaldo levels but he may end up being the best centre forward of his generation. Adriano was the one as for as potential strikers. Convinced he would have been the best striker ever seen had he had the kind of mental strength CR7 has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know. I was more referencing other posts about him out scoring Messi/Ronaldo. Shoes i don't think he'll ever fill, or even be the right fit for. I do stand by Inters Adriano being the way every young striker should be measured.
