    I meant that, Haaland’s best goalscoring season is still very far away from the numbers Messi and Cristiano put during their peak. So he still needs to get better than his current peak, and maintain the level for 15 years.

      Yeah definitely, although you are comparing his first season in a top level team (no offense Dortmund lol) to the best numbers Messi and Ronaldo ever put up.

      We would need to talk about this matter in like 7 years or so.

          No no, he was great, but didn’t realize the throne was empty; whatever the fuck that means.

            Well for one, Bellingham chose to go play for a proper club that people actually care about.

            Edit: Downvote me all you want, even Pep agrees with what I’m saying and complains about it.

            Yeah I get that people want him to be more passionate for the sport than cash, but if your passion is anything other than your current job then it makes sense to prioritise the bag

            I don’t blame him for taking the cash, although I would blame him if he doesn’t do anything good with it

            He’ll be a billionaire by the time he retires if he plays his cards right.

            Seeing how there are 0 football player billionaires, he has to play a lot of right cards.

              The guy is already worth near a quarter billion, makes 72m per year, will get some sort of signing bonus at the next club he goes to, and is only 24.

              He’ll be a billionaire by the time he retires if he plays his cards right.

              “Wasted” is crazy - the man’s been milking his career like an absolute genius since day 1.

                  I think his family will milk him after he retires and will drain his money.

                  Or he will be depressed if he doesn’t come up to expectations (like win at leat 3 CL, another WC, several Ballon d’Or) and waste it all

              When you win the WC at 19 being one of the superstars, you’re kind of expected a level of greatness that goes beyond just money.

            Even if his local team is a mess, playing for his local team rather than going to RM is wasting his career? Football attitudes are ridiculous.

              He went to City? I dunno. It seemed to be at its peak in his last Villa season and during England’s Euros run.

              He is a generational talent and is expected to win continental titles, several ballon d’or. Or at least compete for them. He has wasted 5 good years, and has no more than 5 at top physical form.

          I’ve seen him plenty of times. And if you had seen him play you would know that he had never been much help defensively to his teams. He compensated that vastly with his offense but he didnt help much in defense.

        Because he’s English, just let them have this. The first rumors of him leaving RM will be joined by “He’s coming home” and then they’ll be sad again. Just let them have this.

        English, so we consume English in the English language. we might just be in the eco chamber limited by what language we speak, and what language dominates the media and information channel
