Haaland signing will not make more Man C
Erling Haaland will not guarantee more succe s for Manchester City, according to Liverpool great and television pundit Jamie Carragher.City confirmed Haalands arrival on Monday after agreeing personal terms and pa sing a medical, with the Norway striker signing a five-year contract.The announcement came just over a month after City initially revealed they had reached an agreement with Boru sia Dortmund over a deal reportedly worth 64.2million (75m).At Dortmund, Haaland developed into one of the worlds most feared strikers, scoring 86 goals in 89 games acro s all competitions, averaging one every 84 minutes.Over the same period, only Bayern Munichs Robert Lewandowski (123 in 108 matches) boasted a better scoring rate among players
Mario Edwards Jr. Jersey from Europes top five leagues.City have largely gone without a recognised central striker for the best part of two years, with Sergio Aguero having left in 2021, though he had not been a regular during his final campaign in 2020-21.Fans of other clubs might fear Haalands signing takes City another step closer to dominationand, while Carragher accepts such concerns are well-founded, he is adamant the 21-year-olds arrival brings no guarantee of greater succe s.Its a worry for the rest of the Premier League, Carragher told Sky Sports. We are talking about one of the worlds greats, even at such a young age, but I dont think anyone should be raising the white flag too early because its going
Damiere Byrd Jersey to be really interesting how he fits into the team.Pep Guardiola hasnt really used a central striker in the last couple of years and hes still been very succe sful. So, it will be really interesting to see how he settles, but from the Premier Leagues point
Cole Kmet Jersey of view, I think it is fantastic that weve got one of the worlds leading players right now joining our league.That doesnt always happen, certainly at a young age, and a lot of his best years are going to be in the Premier League. So, itll be really exciting for everyone to watch, but its obviously going to be a tough proposition trying to stop Manchester City.Elaborating on his comment regarding how Haaland fits into the team, Carragher suggested the strikerwill probably not make
Eddie Jackson Jersey a huge difference to Citys points total in the Premier League.But in the Champions League, wherethe marginfor error in two-legged ties is much le s forgiving, he could be decisive.They have so many players now who dont play through the middle. They keep the ball so well and they control the game so well. Maybe they will lose a little bit of that, Carragher continued. So, I dont think its a forgone conclusion that means City are going to win everything.They have a great team and a great manager, and I actually think Haaland coming in wont make that much of a difference in terms of how many points they get. They always get in the mid-90s for points anyway, which is a remarkable feat.He may have been brought in just to make that difference in those games where they just fell short, maybe more in the Champions League than the Premier League, actually.Hell change,
Rodney Adams Jersey hell evolve, hes still a lot to learn, hes a young player. Hell learn off one of the greatest coaches in world football. Hell bring things to his game. But he should also remember not to change too much. He is what he is. Powerful, his pace, the goals he gets.Thats what Im intrigued with, how he fits into that Pep Guardiola style which is a bit more slow and technical than the end-to-end type of football you see in the Bundesliga.
