Would find it fascinating to see how many goals people think Haaland would score in our setup.
Know it totally imaginary as he’d down tools and demand a transfer in the unlikely event he’d been here in the first place but think it would highlight how many think it a DCL specific issue versus an issue with the team itself (a camp which I am basically in).
Anyone care to place their bets and state their case, or the reverse for that matter - how many would Dom score at City?
DOMINATORS ASSEMBLE
My RS brother told me today(took him 10 days to say it!)
that he thought Dom made Van Dijk look very ordinary and that he clearly does so much for the team
no wonder we missed him on and off
To hear that said without prompting was suprising to say the least
Hope he repeats it next season

Dom would score less than haaland at city because H is an unreal finisher
Haaland would do well for us but not much better than peak Dom, who also holds the ball up better which we need in this style.
Our strikers feed off scraps

Haaland is built for a team that creates a lot of chances and he finishes them off.
He'd probably score 20-25 for us this season.
DCL at city 12-15 goals.
Calvert Lewins xG is 12.3, he has scored 7 goals
So we can assume that if Haaland played for us he would be on about 12-14 goals.
Haalands xG is 26 and he has 25 goals.
So we can assume if DCL played for City he would be on 20+ goals.
Basic maths lads.

Haaland is at 25 for City in the PL this season with superb service and more minutes than Dom (2297 vs 2035 according to Whoscored) so don’t you think that upper bound of your range seems a tad high given the comparative number of chances we present our strikers? We don’t really have long cup runs to add to their tallies.
I honestly don’t have a good feel for what Dom would do at City. Tbh thought Lukaku would do much better at United/Chelsea than it turned out - he scored 25 for us in 16/17 and only 16 for United the following season.

Check the amount of chances we make and its alot higher than most expect.
Then compare those chances with Haalands xg.
Once you have that you can divide by 40-50% and you'll have the number for DCL.
Higher amount of chances than City?
Edit - sorry, phrased that wrong. Surely for Haaland to score 25 for us he’d need a similar number of chances as he has got at City? And we might make more chances than some give us credit for but is it really in the same ballpark as City?

yeah great point , if only we knew what the future held, as we could also say we know what we could get from him, we also know he is coming into the prime age for a striker for a few years so we've done the groundwork with him and seen him through some tough times, why hand him on a plate to another side, it should be us to reap the rewards. He needs either competition or a playmate (or both), decoure has done a great job in the last 2 years but his goals and contributions have dried up. Chermiti may be a bit too green to step up into this role just yet, but id rather DCL got a contract than Dele, Holgate et al
some of the recorded chances missed for DCL are a bit harsh, I'm thinking of the towering leaps and he does incredibly well just to get a head on the ball but he cant direct it properly or there is little power. Had he been crap at jumping, he wouldn't have got a head to it and it wouldn't be recorded as a missed chance

He would score 20-25 for us over a season quite easily. You literally posted hes only played 2297mins & DCL 2035.
Whats City creating more chances got to do with it?
Once you extrapolate the mins and xg over a season then Haaland 20-25 and DCL 12-15.
Ok? Imagine him doing those "towering leaps" at City while they pass it to feet and he holds it up for the rest of them. Hes not curling in 30 yarders and without doubt he would be lucky to reach 15 goals as he doesnt fit their team.
Haaland up top for us probably finishes off double DCLs chances and over a season those are going to be Lukaku numbers.
