I don’t hate Haaland and of course this signing is a coup for City. Let’s hope Pep’s tactical instructions confuse him like they did with Grealish and Mahrez initially - and with his injury history any dependence on Haaland can be a double-edged sword.
Again, the problem I have with City are not their players - in fact I quite like many of them (David Silva, Aguero, De Bruyne, Yaya Toure, Kompany, Fernandinho etc). The problem is the unresolved question of financial doping and the frozen sham “investigation” by the Premier League. It would be actually better and healthier for Pep if he’s forced to try to recreate the same football on a much smaller budget - if he won under those conditions, then he would finally get the admiration and love he so craves.
Fernandinho is a gigantic cunt

So the merry-go-round begins.
All eyes on Mbappe next. If he stays at PSG, Madrid will go all guns blazing for Salah is my gut feel.
Part me feels like they're football will suffer with haaland taking a place away from the slick passing machine , it'll obviously influence KDBs game as he's been boss breaking forward into the pitch where haaland will now be.
I wanna see Darwin Nunez in the prem , I think he will be boss at 95% of prem sides
Or Robbo to kill him in the charity shield. Like Trent did to Sane a few seasons ago.I suppose our opportunity for the league next season will come in the early part of the year while they adjust.
Need to get a lead like we did in the season we won it and keep it going.
Dont think he’ll be anything like Lukaku. The big question is how he’ll fit in with this City team. One of their strengths have been the false 9 with different floaty midfielders playing there. Now its Haaland.
Pep couldnt get Zlatan integrated in his Barca team, so will the same happen now?
His injury record this season is also a worry. Its difficult this as on one hand We as a nation need him to develop, but on the other as a Liverpool fan I want him to fail in every possible way.
I think it Will work sadly. De Bruyne Will have someone to finish his passes.
He will start every gameIf he's happy to not start every game and just be part of the rotation, then he will be an upgrade for them without causing unwanted issues
