Decade of dominance coming up and I’d imagine he wins a few Balon d’Or awards on the way. He won’t be there for that long. Couple seasons with Man City then he will be off to a bigger club.

I totally expected Pep would have cured him of his dawdling habits within a year. I'm one of the harshest critics of Grealish going and that's exactly why. He does have a habit of slowing the game down, wasting the ball and letting defences have time to get back set. But I think it'd be harsh to say he hasn't improved at all. He has gotten a bit better under Pep, become more direct and even though he still takes more touches than I would imagine Pep would prefer, he often now does drive far more directly at a team with less hesitation. Less just farting around near the touch line looking to 1v1 people showboating.

I know he's said historically that he likes Real Madrid but I genuinely think that given a season or so here at Man City once he realises how dominant he's going to be here and the records he could break here, I don't see why he leaves if I'm honest. I used to cringe and roll my eyes whenever Sky Sports called the Premier League the best league in the world but these days it is. The money here has completely ruined Spain and Italy, France is a one team league and Germany's ownership model, whilst incredible for the fans and their domestic league, will always keep their top clubs from holding on to talents like Haaland forever. 1

Forgot about Jan Siewert, which makes him an impeccable candidate. Also discounting any manager of any Watford stint during the Pozzo era.

Real Madrid definitely. I don’t mean just to move to a bigger club but to win trophies elsewhere too. He just strikes me as someone that will play across all top leagues like Ronaldo.

Na Felix Magath was so hilariously bad and nuts that he's memorable, he also has a memorable head. Bruno Lage looks like the default silhouette you get when you don't have a profile pic on Facebook 1

Tbf both Serie A and Bundesliga are competitive this season, at least after 8 games. I predict Serie A will stay like this all season. Germans have a big football holiday period every winter and Bayern always manages to be a beast when it resumes.

Matt_Lcfc Posted 2 October 2022 Posted 2 October 2022 (edited) If you were to build you ideal striker in a laboratory, then it’s Haaland. The man is a joke. He has no weaknesses to his game, I honestly think you just can’t defend against him. 22 years old, there is just no way that he should be this good. I am excited in a way, I am way too young to remember players like Cruyff and R9, to be fair, I can hardly recall Messi / Ronaldo breaking onto the scene. We are witnessing greatness here, if he stays fit, he could be the best to ever play the game. I have absolutely no doubt about that. Edited 2 October 2022 by Matt_Lcfc 1
