And the injury record is a large reason why the fee wasn't as high as some fans expected.

Yeah bit of a pisser that, i was hoping we'd have their pants down for about 65m, like i said, i wouldn't have minded him going scum coz it wouldn't have worked and carried on their misery, but i shouldn't really wish such on KP.

City have confirmed the signing of Spain's Under-21s defender Sergio Gomez from Anderlecht.

The 21-year-old moves to the Etihad Stadium on a four-year deal for a fee of 13m euros (£11m) plus add-ons.

Brilliant comeback from the defending champions.

Superb Haaland hat-trick, delightful cross for his first goal from Foden.

I fear for our matchstick CB's coping with this monster, he's built like a sh*thouse.

I love Haalands playing style, hardly any touches, full of speed and then pounds the goals in... we can only dream of such a player.

Man City will romp the league this season. :roll:

Not sure how you deal with him tbh. Bullied the CB’s for the first goal. He has everything plus a world class service. A modern day football bargain.

Impossible I think Jay.

All PL teams will have the similar problems containing him, not expecting anything from the Citeh games if he plays against us, would be a difficult enough game even if he's absent.

The top teams won't get near Citeh this season, the league will be a romp in the park for blue moon boys.

We nearly signed him in 2017/18, but in the end signed Bamford instead....Haaland was born in Leeds after all and was a boyhood fan of the club.

Yeah Leon, Citeh games are a write off and won’t define our season, or anyone else’s for that matter bar a couple.
Maybe our CB’s need to beef up a little though! He’s a flippin beast :twisted:

And if we had of bought him, nobody would know who is is now! He is still a leeds fan and for that reason, he'll probably only score 4 goals (a match) against us this season :lol:

Our best hope from the City games is losing by only a goal or two to keep the goal difference changes to a minimum. Afterall, City should beat handsomely most of our competitor clubs.

I will bet any money that you like that he will score at least one hat trick against us. Llorente vs Haaland = a boy vs a man.

Haaland won't like a Koch up him. Actually I may have hit on a good idea...

I'm sure a few are going to start pointing out that Haaland scores most of his goals in the 6 yard box.

The goal against Villa could be called a tap in. But look at that leap. How high he got to tap it in. Nobody else is jumping that high. Actually I think most would tried to head it in.

Haaland now scored on his CL debut for 3 clubs. 12 goals for Citeh already. He’s going to break some records, the big lump.
