For what it’s worth…
Doesn’t matter who we/you support when a player ( on paper ) of Haalands standards go to one of your main rivals it must hurt,
Doesn't hurt IMO, he is a player we were never, ever going to sign so unless someone is deluded enough to think it was a possibility, there's no reason to really care IMO.
He's a fantastic talent, no doubt about it, but like I said the other day - plenty of players with his hype and expectation have moved to the Premier League and flopped. I remember when Shevchenko signed for Chelsea, it was supposed to be the start of their real dominance of world football, and he was sh*te. Who's to say Haaland won't go the same way.
On a side note, for his age, he is showing some unfavourable signs about his fitness. Saw the amount of injuries he's had so far and he has had a lot of muscle injuries. Let's see how he can cope with the intensity of the Premier League, he's about to enter a league that is a lot harder than he's been playing in so far. Sancho, Havertz, Werner and Pulisic came to the Premier League from the Bundesliga with big hype and expectation, so far they've been a big disappointment so it shows that it's not an easy transition to make.
Also, just gives more reason to laugh at City and Pep when they still fail to win the Champions League.
