Haaland is an absolute beast

[Volz]

One comment about Haaland from the Norwegian coach after the Brazil game really stuck with me. He said "Haaland is unique in the way that he does not care about being involved just for the sake of being involved. For instance, more or less all attackers seek to be involved in the game. If the ball is not coming forward for a while, most all will start getting involved by coming closer to their own team mates and own goal, as if to say "look. i am here, involve me!". Haaland does not care about that. He knows his strengths and where to utilize them and has no urge to be involved just for the sake of it".
Which immediately led me to think of the hundreds of times that i have been incredibly annoyed at how Fulham often lack any attacking alternatives and good plays when on a counter attack for instance.
I feel that Marco's insistency on everyone working their socks off and needing to be involved everywhere at all times may have limited the team and individual expression enormously, although i am sure that we also benefitted from collective defensive work because of it.
Still, I am nothing but excited for getting in anyone with hopefully slightly less focus on everyone working as if the team was some elite clockwork of a german machinery, and hope to see players like ESR, Kevin, Bobb, Muniz perhaps benefiting from not being limited to precise actions that needs to be executed in any given situation and position.

England should task Marc Guehi with the job of marking Haaland. Fonsa lost every battle with similarly physical Raul Jiminez so there is no way he can cope with the giant Norwegian.

Literally two peas in a pod, Haaland and Raul!!!!!
Never do I forget that Nick Bateman knows his footie.

He is a beast.  How much do you think we will need to pay him when he transfers to the Cottage?

He seems to have this extra sense where he knows exactly where a crossed ball is going to be,same as rebounds and goalies saving shots he seems to sense where the ball will land.
