He’s bloody good, Erling Haaland.
We’re only nine games into his Premier League careerAnd he’s already scored 15 goals, including three hat-tricks. He’s scored more on his own than 13 other teams in the division, including Chelsea and Manchester United. Add five goals to the Champions LeagueWe can almost agree that he started his life at Manchester CityThis is going quite well.
It could have all been so different if Pep Guardiola got his way last season and they’d signed Harry Kane. Haaland may not have had the space to do this, or he might have been performing these remarkable goalscoring feats from another location.
Harry would score as many goals if he was part of the City team as Erling.
This is the ideal place for any top forward. I’ve said it all along — a top goalscorer in this City team should score 40 goals. If Erling stays fit then he’ll get that and maybe even some more.
Harry’s record tells you that he would do that, too. There’s no doubt what Pep thinks about Harry and what the vast majority of other people think about him as well.
