Erling Haaland

I already know this guy will go down as the GOAT

Let's take a guy who mostly scores after counter attacks. Yes.

Worked with MSN. Obviously, we would play tactics based on his strengths.

Most of the good teams want to attack anyway. He will always have space.

Might hurt us vs small teams defending though

The major downside to Haaland is his father and Raiola, they will squeeze you for everything you've got, and then they'll come nagging at least every other year for improved contracts on top of all that, neverending drama.

True.

True, it's like signing with the devil. In that sense Mbappe better signing.

Let's take a guy who mostly scores after counter attacks. Yes.

Speed is not his entire skill set. He gets the ball out of his feet *really* quickly and has ice in his veins in front of goal. Put it to him back-to-goal anywhere around the box and he's a danger. Good in the air, too.

Came upon this, looks so unlikely to me though...

Break the bank

Of course this guy scores

Should have a hattrick by now tbh.

 

[fergus90]

More wasteful than usual but he's always creating such panic in the defences.

In terms of stats, difficult to score more goals than him of course..
In terms of physicality, he is a monster.
But if we talk about technique, he is just an average player compared to the real Goats of the game ! (Maradona, Messi, Cruyyf; the technical talents).
Haaland is very good at shooting, but he isn't really impressive when it comes to dribbling, ball-control or passing. Though he compensates his weaknesses thanks to the monster's physicality and pace. He also has a very good awareness of the game (he asks for the ball in the right spaces).
Haaland's profile is very direct to the goal. He can't play a Tiki-taka short-passing style; he is only a finisher, not a creator. But Mbappe for example can do both.
