Can I get a round of applause for that oil 💰 money tho...

Haaland is the future top scorer in europe for a decade if he played in same league as Mbappe he would score 60 goals a season, in England he scores 30 goals a season and in Italy he could get 25-30 a year, but he will end up a Real Madrid and score 50 goals a season for a decade. Messi is not Messi anymore he is still great but not the best. If Messi is free get him but if you spend money you need a long term investment.

Haaland is the best possible option right now for any team.

After seeing the match against Osasuna,I realized that at this age also,Håland is nothing compared to messi

yesyesyes pleasepleaseplease haaland come to city🙏💙

I’m Messi fan. Messi isn’t top scorer no more. I admit that. But Messi has become the player maker and gives so many assistance. Messi and Haaland playing together will destroy teams.

I mean, if Messi is for free, why not sign him? He is anyway gonna improve the team, either with goals or even without. Don't talk about wages. He simply generates more money in sponsorship than his wages(remember how Juventus made more than 100m)

I don't see how Haaland fits Guardiolas football. Messi fits it perfectly and he is also good friend with Pep. That being said.. you would be an idiot to not sign Haaland for 80 mill. Its a nobrainer.. every club will be interested but its up to Haaland where he goes

Think of the shirt sales from Messi? at least 150mill

Messi and Aguero have proven to be decent at best at Argentina. Great analysts we have here, it's clear Haaland would be a much better signing for any team. Short or Long term.

Again the "click bait" title is misleading. The conversation was never about Messi vs Haaland. ESPN FC we like watching your commentaries, don't make us regret it.

"city fans"? City has fans?

Messi has nowhere to go...he will just play for barca and bow out with them..........

Sorry but I don’t think haaland and mbappe are able to do thinks that Messi and Cr7 did in their prime

I believe the discussion is flawed, it isnt Messis entire career vs Haalands entire career... It’s: who would be the better signing RIGHT NOW

He better stay in Dortmund

Haaland would be a great choice for the long term...both for the club and the player...

This isn't even a debate. Harland is the best striker in the world. Messi is a has been. If city sign Haaland they will have bought themselves a premier League title and possibly a champions league title.

If City sign Haaland they would be unplayable...that man doesn’t miss a chance...I can see that happening though

Harry kane anyone???????

Yes because of age

Haalands rap career is alone better than both Messi and Ronaldo's whole career combined

Two words: DUH, Haaland

If you sign Haland, you get a striker. If you sign Messi, you get a striker, winger and a playmaker.. Be smart and make wise choices

Haha..it's funny how Messi fans described Messi as all good in everything. Funny.

Of course. Messi is old and almost finished. Haaland is rising and young.

Haaland plays in a farmers league. Would still be a good signing for City though.

Haaland is just money waste he can't score if he can't get assist his goals always tap in or 1v1 against goalkeepers.

Haaland wouldnt go to City, he was born in Leeds, is a Leeds fan, and wants to play for Leeds, so theres no way he'll sign for a rival club

If they were to buy one (if they had an option) Haaland would be the right choice. He is younger and deadly. Messi is amazing, the best in my opinion, but he is also 33 years old.

Well....Messi would be free and Haaland would cost atleast 150mill

Bold of you to assume haaland is going to leave dortmund

If City want to win now, they need Messi. Pep is only at City for two years, KDB is 29, in the middle of his prime and so are many of their players. Haaland definitely has incredible potential but where will the rest of the team be by the time Haaland becomes the player City need? That being said, I rather take Messi in a finals game over Haaland, given Messi is undefeated in UCL finals.

@Megat Afiq Also Messi has dropped in form, how often do you see messi scoring other than the penalties? Exactly, matter of fact Haaland scored 2 on their last UCL game and scored 4 goals just the match before that.

The man got 6 ballon d or. How can he underrated? People just speaks fact. Haaland is better deal in long term. Dude just 20 years old

Guys Haaland will never even reach half the level of Messi when speaking about overall footballing qualitiies.

Yes 100% 10 messi over 1 haaland any day

816th comment

Lewandowski to City..game over

I'm a city fan, I don't want Messi

Fun fact City 2015-16 season before Pep arrived Played 38, Lost 10, Drew 9, Scored 71, Conceded 41, Table position 4th " don't come here saying City were in a great position before pep came" its a joke

Haaland would fit better in Liverpool 🔥

Messi is GOAT and these types of stupid football fans says Haaland(a kid who first time scores in major league like cl or bl cannot never ever reach) never ever reach level Of Messi

Yes

If they sign messi! Then that’s the end of his career!!

Messi will be going for 'free' to City. No mega million transfer fee. The only payment would be the yearly-contracts which the sale of Messi shirt will eclipse. Get both Messi and Haalaand and City wins the Champions League first season together.

You say that now....

Why would he go to a plastic club. Should wait until Bayern comers for him

No because Messi will bring money with advertising

They shouldn’t sign haaland...It’s too early for him, plus he’s doing extremely well where he is..they should probably sign him in 2022 or 2023 or something

Honestly, I doubt that Messi could play in the Prem anymore. He is an incredible player, but he does not have his speed anymore. He might be able to play as a CAM, but City has the best CAM in the world (coming from a Liverpool fan). He would not have the speed to play a winger. I think Haaland is a much better fit for the Prem. He also has lots of potential.

Haaland doing better things than Ronaldo and Messi.

It’s city they’ll just buy both

Sign both Messi and Haaland for City.

we won 2 primers league who gives af bringing da goat Is bringing a champions league fuk a premier league

Giroud can be the temporary solution for city

100% a better signing, why is this even a question

Messi will cry in EPL Don't come here saying he destroyed PL teams That was in past assholes I'm talking about present

Yes haaland cuz I want Messi to stay

Definitely think halaand wd be a better signing

Of course Haaland is a better signing. Switch the ages of these two and that will change again.

of course he would be a better signing

Harland would be a better long term choice but as a Chelsea fan, he shouldn’t go there, just so he won’t damage our nets😂

I don't think anyone wants him in the premier league unless he plays for their team, he can stay in the bundesliga setting records I do not want to see him against my team that would be scary 😂😂

Richarlison is better than Gabriel Jesus.

For his price and what hes worth haaland takes the yes

No both are very overrated... time will show it the blind fans... none is that great

Messi gives you a multi dimensions to your team he could be the best signing for any team..

The fact that you are asking this question it means you guys are the most delusional people in the history of the world

That's a laughable question. Messi is no longer a great player among the greatest of players. That's basically what he was for 10+ seasons. Currently, he's just a great player who, like normal great players, can look out of sorts when surrounded by less than stellar talent. Haaland will never approach Messi's level--he's just a goalscorer who can be taken out of games if his supply line gets shut down--but he'll be a top five player for the next ten seasons. Even at 28, I said I would take Messi over any other player regardless of age because no player would be better than him in the following five years. We're at the end of those five years, and I think the times of Messi getting preferential treatment is over.

In terms of playing the game, no one beats Messi. But, Messi only has 1-2 good years of football, and Haaland is gonna win Ballon Dors, golden shoes, etc. So Haaland is no doubt a better option

Those two are so stupid ...

I don't think there will be much of an impact in the performance of city if Messi joins. Messi clearly getting slower and slower and now it's hard for him to dribble multiple players, plus Messi can't press the opponents, he likes to walk a lot without the ball in a game.

Frankly speaking, Erling Haaland is better because he is younger and also the future player. Besides, Messi commands an extremely high wage. Therefore, it is better to have Erling Haaland and also to save cost.

Buying Messi is nonsense....

Haaland will fit into any of the top team currently in Europe.....if you agree then you know what to do. 👇

Just some respect on Messi’s name

Please I hope they don’t sign Haland lol just cuz I ain’t a city fan

Messi is not physically built to play at the age of 35+ like Ronaldo.. Hence why there is sharp decline in Messi's goals and assist.. Halaand is a much wiser option as Man City do not need any more midfielders.

Halaand is the best signing any team could make even more so than Mbappe people don’t realize the value of having the future best striker in the world

They don't need neither they need a different striker

Absolutely 100%!!!!!! Messi is about to be 34 yrs old and isn’t a necessity at all on the wing as there are plenty top solid wingers on the planet plus we have enough already. Replacing Aguero is the main priority and Haaland whoever signs him baring injuries will provide u with 10 yrs of phenomenal service! This question is actually really dumb n offensive smh

Haaland is 20 and right now he looks like the best prospect anyone could sign. Messi is still Messi but he is 14 years older.

They're are struggling now, because they're are not taking their chances and they got punished. They have to take their chances .

Manchester city should buy both of them, they will win the champions league 2021-2022.

So Gabriel Marcotti is being stupid here about Sergio Aguero.

If Zlatan couldn't cut it under Pep, I doubt Haaland would but we'll see if this happens.

I’d prefer Barcelona Sign him.

Messi allows city to make more money than Haaland will make them in two years or less with Jersey sales etc .

Absolutely! Messi has been finished for 3 years. He needs the whole team to work for him and he only scores every 20 chances. Most overrated player in history!

This headline killed it Lol 🤣🤣🤣

Haaland for sure. Messi is 34 next summer. Haaland has a long future ahead.

Pep guadiola don't want hallaf

Spend £1,3M a week minus bonuses.... When you just escaped FFP... And you have already have a team that only has 2 defenders... Good luck with that...

I would LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE FOR CITY 2 GET Haaland

Messi is a disappointment. He can never be the GOAT. He can not be a topic of discussion in that debate.

Messi for free is no brainer just pay the guys wages, bargain. Spend the money on Haaland and City will be able to compete with Liverpool again.

When did Pep ever had a tall striker? Yeah Ibra and we know how that turned out. Haaland goes to Real when he's done at Dortmund, we all know that.

@Delboy0 I can see only one club with this kind of reputation in England and that's ManU. And they're garbage. So Real it will be. They always find a way to get the players they want. No one ever said "No" to Real.

Haaland’s dad said he is son dreams to play in the Premier League and his agent said his next move will be the Premier League. Real Madrid are not the attraction they used to be. Now they can’t double the wages of players they attract less world class players
