I’d actually play him up front and drop Haaland

Just to show he isn’t untouchable and needs to do better. His body language recently is appalling

Pissing aside, it is very problematic, imho, when we are half joking about a players future position when he impressed in a certain role and was the reason behind why he was brought in.

Warching Haaland closely in the last few games, I reckon he's carrying an injury but playing through it as we have very few options up front.
Either that or he's just totally pissed off with the way he's being reffereed - one nudge from him and it's a free kick to the defender, yet on Wednesday, for example, Van Hecke rugby tackled him with both arms round his neck and the ref waved play on!
Mind you, that ref missed the foul for the penalty despite having a clear view from about 6 metres away...so we know what his instructions were!

The ref the other night could not have been more blatantly corrupt if he tried.

Not only over Van Hecke, the Penno as you say he couldn't have been better placed to call it in our favour, only for VAR overruling him. What about that other dutch(?) cunt on Bernardo to the point he stopped playing to highlight/vall out the ref!

Whatever is going on with Haaland, it has also rubbed off on Fodaen. The pair of them up until Xmas were playing well, now both have dropped off again, for whatever reason, which is worrying.

Clearly he's been brought in to upgrade from Nunes.

Let's hope he can put the ball in the net, unlike these other cunts lately. Like Haaland, Foden, Bernardo Silva, Cherki, Doku, Gonzales, O'Reilly.....

But when Pep says he'll be involved, it's probably 2 minutes at the end if we're winning

Just finished watching the video City have done about him signing.

Seems like a top lad that's very grounded. His family, especially his mum, were very proud of him.

Saw a lot of people posted about some encounters with him. All of them top notch.
His goodbye AD in the Bournmouth local paper was class.

If he scores on Saturday he'll have scored in his 1st 3 games in 3 different competitions.
We've got CL on Tuesday but i don't think he can play in the last 2 group games unfortunately.

I agree . Thought similar about Echeverri's arrival.

I like the way the whole club greet them and settle them down. I've always thought we look to have a settle dressing room , but then it can be edited as well
