Erling Braut Haaland

[Shibbywiggles]

Haaland is class though and will score a huge number of goals. Reckon it’s between him and Mbappe as who takes the Messi/Ronaldo crown.
Mbappe looks like he’ll score more great goals though where Haaland could be a greater goalscorer. The thing about Messi and the two Ronaldos is they had the stats and the flair.

Messi and CR7 have suffered loads of injuries over the years.

That’s interesting, as without checking anything at all, I wonder how many finals or major games for their clubs they missed?

I only remember Messi getting injured like twice, and for short periods. Am I way off?

Yeah for sure, Messi, CR7 and Bobby L dont have long left, I think whoever goes deep out of the 2 in the CL will determine Ballon going forward.

Around 20 for CR7.

But neither was out for a huge period.

Your cyborg doesnt even play the same sport.

If we're talking just scoring goals and not how pretty they are there isn't going to be a conversation worth having

That’s what I mean, it’s the long periods that affect teams and league positioning.

I genuinely believe that long term injuries have crippled us (no pun intended) for a long time.

Getting machines in has got to be a priority.

Bro your boy looks the real deal, but never compare him to R9, its unfitting.

Hopefully they will find a way to clone the Haaland cyborg soon.

You said the other day you only saw Patrick Vieira a handful of times when he was past his best so I’m going to bet you never watched Brazilian Ronaldo when he was at his best.

He was out of this world, the most exciting thing I’ve ever seen on a football pitch.

And Haaland will have scored more league goals by like 27. I don't think people have wrapped their heads around the absurdity of what this lad is doing.

By the end it will be unfitting of Haaland

Hes playing in the worst era for CBs since football began.

Nesta would have tucked him under his arm and sent him home to Daddy Alfie.

I think that's a product of how football has changed down the years tbh. Pressing has exposed CBs in a way that didn't happen before Pep and Klopp really got going.

Thats why I think its pretty stupid to try and compare players from different eras, even different leagues to a degree.
