Is this guy the best the PL has ever seen at putting the ball in the net. The PL has had some wonderful strikers like Shearer, Rooney, Henry, Kane, Aguero, Fowler etc but this guy is just a beast. Physically perfect for the role and total instinct player. Does nothing then just seems to come alive. Will he go on to beat AS record? I suppose he will if he stays on the PL long enough. It will come down to when the big European clubs come calling I suppose. Or when he gets bored.

Goal scoring machine - seems like he's just added heading to his locker as well as his all-around link-up play.
For me has the potential to be the greatest goal scorer and perhaps even striker of all time. He's incredible.

To beat Ronaldo tally in the top european leagues and CL Haaland needs to be scoring almost 60 for the next 10 years. He’ll be the greatest goalscorer if he does that.

He'll do well to beat Ronaldo's record. People can say what they want about the man from Funchal but he's an unbelievable professional. Yes, he's playing a plastic league but still scoring for Portugal. I'm not sure Haaland will want to play long enough to get near Ronaldo's record.

Brilliant goal scorer and has score many of his goals due to his speed and power ,Ronaldo as well as being a brilliant striker has the skills that Haarland hasn’t .

I actually, weirdly, think he's a bit underrated. His name doesn't come up regularly in the Ballon D'Or conversations etc. Best striker in the world, would score goals in any team.

Another Burnley lad who chose not to follow his home town club or country of birth for that matter.

He’s an absolute beast. Not the best ever yet, but on his way no doubt.
Surprising thing for me is just how quick he goes from not moving, to moving so quickly he’s almost a blur. Crazy for a lad his size.

He'd be worth a few quid today would Andy tbf.
I can only really remember Steve Bull (lower leagues granted) being at the goals per game ratio as some of today's marksmen.

He's on £500k a week, they'll be queuing up to 'love' him.

Not for me, not yet.. if he continues at this current rate then I think I might be changing my views in 3-4 years though

I think Erling's from Leeds rather than Burnley
