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.

[–] Lutzelien@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (16 children)

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.

Bellingham brings out the weirdness out of everyone. You should see the stuff we posted on our sub when Trent and Hendo were trying to "tap" him up in the World Cup.

[–] mister_dupont@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

no no, he was going to Arsenal you see because of no fucking reason whatsoever.

[–] ThestralDragon@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (3 children)

You didn't brief agent saka to recruit him?

[–] malevolentintent@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

ITK says he bottled it

[–] magic-water@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

We all know that Arabic fan was the agent that ultimatively convinced him

[–] OscarMyk@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

he had to get the Rice deal done first, as well as teach half the England squad English

[–] Shutyerpieole@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

It's Real Madrid

[–] mr-saurav@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] looeeyeah@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

This is a link to a Marca article in Spanish…

[–] Sonikdahedhog@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Real Madrid and england, half the sports publications in the world creamed the second they heard this move

[–] trivialbob@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Guti is a pundit on the chiringuito program. That's why.

Young british player playing for Real Madrid leading the top scorer table as a 'midfielder'

TIL Haaland wasn’t trying to be good at football last year.

[–] Muppy_N2@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (4 children)

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

[–] Sikdawg0@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

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.

[–] DeLurkerDeluxe@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

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.

[–] alpe_swole_tbc@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] Excellent-Archer-238@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] CrabsolutelyBullshit@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

He's making so much, he can't even really be milked though

It's empty man! The gate is down!

[–] emre23@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (5 children)

Or Vini

Or Mbappé really, although he is kinda wasting his career farming for the bag

[–] USA_A-OK@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

It's a bit like Grealish a couple years ago. Grown men fawning over him in a very weird "I want to kiss him but not in a gay way" type of manner

[–] InkCollection@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

r/liverpoolfc: "He can't possibly be going anywhere else"

[–] Other-Owl4441@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (2 children)

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.

[–] Excellent-Archer-238@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

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.

[–] USA_A-OK@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

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

If getting paid the money Mbappe is paid is considered wasting your career, then sign me the fuck up to wasting my career

[–] panetero@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

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.

[–] sangueblu03@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (2 children)

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.

What happened with grealish? Why has the fawning stopped?

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.

[–] Ndulula@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)
[–] Heliath@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

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.

[–] mark_vorster@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago
[–] sparperetor@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

You get one guess.
