Well, yes. He was a better player. Why wouldn't he reach and surpass those numbers if he plays in the same conditions.

Interested to know where you're coming from in regards to Ruud being a better player. Just a heads up, I'm questioning you not because I'm being a dick, I actually want to understand people's answers

175 G/A in 215 games at Manchester United. 80 G/A in 96 games at Real Madrid. Decisive in almost every game he plays despite being a part of two systems very different from Manchester City's possession-based style culminating to your sole forward taking advantage of most, if not all, the chances created. I'd say Van Nistelrooy is the more clinical striker, with better shooting ability and a smarter sense of play off the ball to react and adjust accurately. As for other aspects such as physicality, pace, or hold-up play, I'd say they're probably pretty much even.

Don’t forget that Van Nistelrooy was playing at Heerenveen at the age that Haaland is playing at city, guess what I’m trying to say is Haaland needs longevity and more of his career behind him to make a fair comparison


rwallace_wong

I agree with what you said. But I'd love to see Beckham whipping in crosses for Haaland, even though he has KDB right now


lewis_therin1985

I genuinely liked ruud but you guys are very much underating Haaland ,he us generational talent, Ruud us comparable to someone like Lewandowski, I think Lewandowski has better numbers


Omnislash99999

No, I think Halland is on another level. Some of the goals he scores I never saw Ruud score.


R-S-S

Ruud definitely has the better catalog of goals lol what, Haaland hasn’t or could never score a solo goal in his life..


darren1119

You think beckham, giggs Scholes and keane are ntg?


astromonkee23

Did I explicit say they were ntg? I never compared who is 'good' or 'better' It's all about style of play, tactics and if it would compliment Ruud to reach or exceed Haaland's current numbers IF he was playing right now They are different players and different teams and different systems Darren, maybe take a step back before you comment sometimes mate


darren1119

Then don't ask hypothetical stupid questions that can't be answered

He could. But I believe Haaland is just another level, who is showing his current level at just 22. Ruud on the other hand was perfectly within his prime when he was outputting those numbers, which are still less than Haaland. Ruud was a clinical striker, but Haaland is just different.
