So he uses to support Arsenal like you?

Season Tickets sold out within 10 minutes of going on sale yesterday.

I still expect 20,000 empty seats for every game though.

I love how people on here are going overboard over both Haaland & Nunez before they have kicked a ball in the PL.

You only need to look at Jadon Sancho, Timo Verner & Mark Martin (anyone remember the German Messi) to see that moves from the Bundesliga don't always work out.

Also, just because a player can turn it on in Portugal doesn't mean he can do it in the PL.

Time will tell BUT with all the articles about these 2 newcomers to the PL boasting about how good they will be for their prospective clubs I wouldn't be surprised if one or both are flops.

If that does happen, I just hope it's Haaland

I'd prefer to look at KdB and Gundoghan.

Absolute biased nonsense.

The Arsenal shirt is from 2010/11 when Arsenal were in decline and not challenging United, Chelsea were so you’re wrong on that point

City season tickets have sold out? They would’ve last season, season tickets don’t account for even 50% of the Etihad capacity so get ready for more empty seats.

Also you talk about Haaland as if it’s a guarantee he’ll work when it isn’t, other strikers have had far better records than him and failed in England like Kezman.

No mentioning Haaland’s injury record OP? He’ll get smashed from pillar to post in England so I don’t think it’s unreasonable to suggest he’ll break down even more.

Poor article.

Boris KDB already had prem experience are you just going to ignore that?

Not saying Haaland will flop, he probably won’t, but there’s a huge chance he will. I don’t think he’ll be your new Aguero anyway.

How about Sebastien Haller, Owen Hargreaves, Christian Pulisic?

There 'seem' to have been more flops when moving from the Bundesliga to the PL than successes so I wouldn't set your sights too high just yet.

Oh and yes, Haaland does have a very poor record as far as injuries are concerned.

Difference with Haaland is he just scores goals wherever he goes, whatever level he plays. You can't even try and put him in the same bracket as the players you have mentioned. His international record for a nation like Norway is ridiculous too. 17 in 16 for Salzburg, 62 in 67 for Dortmund, 20 in 21 for Norway...City have signed an absolute monster.

He did score goals wherever he went. He hasn't proven anything in England yet and there's no guarantee he will.

His touch is poor too, bit awkward on the ball like Dzeko was. It almost looks like he never has the ball under his control if that makes sense.

My kid wanted all sorts of strips when he was young - Spanish, Italian, German. No English right enough Nevertheless, can a kid not be allowed to be a kid?

There's no guarantee of course, but the signs are seriously ominous.

Very excited to see Haaland Vs Van Dijk. That be. Rey interesting.

posted on 15/6/22

Whether he succeeds or not, City have imo made the most exciting signing in PL history.

Getting giddy about potential shirt or ticket sales is sad though. My club's bigger than your club is an embarrassing argument for any grown adult to bother with.

I’m talking in the context of other players who have come to City via the Bundesliga

“City season tickets have sold out? They would’ve last season, season tickets don’t account for even 50% of the Etihad capacity so get ready for more empty seats.“

Quite a few deferred last year, season tickets account for considerably well over half though. They’re more likely to be empty seats too btw.

He is very overhyped. Also nobody is mentioning the fact that either he or City will have to change their style of play to get the best out of him. He doesn't have the ability to really play tiki-taka, his touch isn't good enough.

Whisper it too, but will he just use City as a stepping stone? No doubt this lad will end up in Madrid or Barcelona at some point and given his age, it will probably be in 2-3 years when he does it. He isn't a player like Aguero who will give it his best years....

Capacity is less this season so it was obvious there’d be a rush for Seasoncards

THE most exciting signing in EPL history??? Are you drunk? On what basis is he? What about Rooney to United then? Or even Shearer to Newcastle????

The overhype about Haaland is getting silly now.
