He broke the premier league scoring record in his first season, he won city their first ucl. Won the treble. He has 13 goals in 12 games this season. Excluding ballondor and that, how can ANYONE not drool for Haalands goalscoring ability. This is coming from a Liverpool fan that cant believe the standard of talk around this player.
Honestly? Because he’s at City.
When City and their players achieve something, it just feels like editor mode on Football Manager. I know that the players are world class and the clubs staff are world class, but the problem I have with the football power they wield is that it feels like they didn’t need to work for it.
Haaland is a special player, but City are not a special club, and it feels like whenever someone achieves something at City it’s just standing on the shoulders of the owners.
