Not playing the Euros does its part.

i dont think it's euros, last season he missed so many easy chances, maybe it was a mental thing

the Haaland we see now is the pre-injury Haaland from Dortmund

icecold in 1vs1 chances, he will be probably the main reason why City will win again Pl this season

we can be happy that Real has decided for Mbappe and not this animal

He actually looks like a slightly better all-round footballer too. The other day he was linking up play well.

Hopefully he continues to improve in that respect as I take no pleasure being negative and saying players are donkeys in general play. It would please me if he could become a quality player outside the box too. After all, nobody denies that he's an absolute cheat code when it comes to goalscoring - it's doubts over his general football ability that are the issue. But some of his finishes were gorgeous the other day, and his link-up was better.

The jury is still out in the latter regard. And in big European games and latter stages of cups. He will never ever be anywhere near a Messi as an all-round footballer, or even Salah, but if he can become fairly good in general play, then that would add another string to his bow in addition to the amazing and GOAT level goalscoring ability.

Haaland and Mbappe don't mix. Both aspire to be no1. If both play in the same team, one is gonna be the sidekick of the other.
Should be the same with Vini and Mbappe no? And in same position too.
Could even argue Jude loses out on that spotlight too.

Yes. They already have an overbooking in terms of attacking players who aspire to be main star. Adding Haaland on top of that makes even less sense if you think about it.

Maybe Haaland is a good guy who is altruistic and is not that interested in becoming an individual award winning player. This could be a possibility, but is quite rare for players who can be no1 to give up on that personal objective.

If they sell Vinicius... could be done probably. Don't think either Vinicius or Mbappe can play right wing. They are both right-footed and would benefit the most from playing on the left cutting inside on their strong foot. They probably signed Mbappe to turn him into some sort of a 9.

9 goals so far in the first 4 matches of the season. Still one more half to play. New PL record. 99 goals for City already. Legend in the making.
