Erling Haaland

Could do with him down the Vale right now! Scored twice today against Bayern in an ultimately losing effort. But what a player this guy is, and will become. He could genuinely reach the same levels as Messi and Ronaldo one day - He's certainly better than the latter was at the same age. Madness to think that up until a few years ago he was actually playing as a center-back!

Probably be City bound in the summer to replace Aguero which isn't good news for the rest.

Look forward to the OP starting a thread slating Haaland in a few weeks time.

Why did he not opt to play for his birthplace England?

Even though he was born in Leeds he only spent a few years here in total I think, and always felt Norwegian.

Poor man's Danny Whitehead in my opinion.

If he didn’t score a hat trick in the first 15 minutes would be binned off on here

Because he was born to Norwegian parents, with his father happening to be working in England at the time.

He had the option because he had non-English parents, but blood thicker than water.

Totally agree.  Unless of course he thought he had more chance of getting into International Football by ‘being’ English😉
