Neel Roy (鈥�25) said the signing of Erling Haaland is significant to Manchester City fans.
鈥淚n the past few years following the departure of Sergio Aguero we haven鈥檛 been able to play with a recognized striker who has done well in the Premier League,鈥� Roy said. 鈥淚t鈥檚 genuinely the missing piece to Guardiola’s puzzle and I鈥檓 over the moon with this deal.鈥�
Technology Support Specialist Dennis Njenga, a Manchester City fan, said it is unquestionable that Erling Haaland has been the best acquisition for the team..听
鈥淵ou can鈥檛 get away from Erling Haaland,鈥� Njenga said. 鈥淚 think the impact that he’s had on Manchester City has been crazy. We all knew he was going to score goals, but to the level of the impact that he’s had. It’s just been amazing.鈥�
It鈥檚 genuinely the missing piece to Guardiola鈥檚 puzzle and I鈥檓 over the moon with this deal.

Sam Singer (鈥�23) said Haaland鈥檚 talent was evident in his first few games as a Manchester City player.
鈥淚t鈥檚 clear that he鈥檚 going to score loads of goals and break many more records this season,鈥� Singer said.
Further, former Arsenal Captain Pierre Emerick Aubameyang was sold to Barcelona for free during the January transfer window last year, according to .听听
Nicholas Farinola (鈥�24) said Arsenal was smart in their business as they did not rush to replace their star striker and instead waited on the Gabriel Jesus deal in the summer transfer window.听
鈥淵ou can see that [Arsenal] pays close attention to detail in the way that they go about their business,” Farinola said. 鈥淭hey were so patient with filling in their striker position and it certainly has paid off when you look at the player they have in Jesus.”
Njenga said Jesus has made a massive impact so far, while also positively affecting other players around him.听
鈥淪omething about him has gotten everyone around him playing better as well,鈥� Njenga said. 鈥淗e鈥檚 really given Arsenal that vocal point in attack.鈥�
Former Manchester City player Raheem Sterling made his move from Manchester to London when he signed for Chelsea, according to . Chelsea lacked an offensive player following Romelu Lukaku鈥檚 return to Inter Milan on loan, per .
Sterling has marked 129 appearances for Liverpool along with another 339 games for Manchester City, according to the .听
Njenga said Sterling鈥檚 consistency will be a new factor in Chelsea’s attacking force.听
鈥淔or me, having a Premier League proven player who we know is capable of hitting 15 plus goals a season is what I wanted to see,鈥� Njenga said. 鈥淚 also think that he鈥檚 more of a direct player than some of the other wingers we鈥檝e got.鈥�
The Sterling deal was an odd one because Chelsea is really one of City鈥檚 competitors, but to be frank, it鈥檚 a good deal for all parties.

Despite Sterling鈥檚 experience, Roy said he questioned whether he was going to be capable of maintaining his form following his move to Chelsea.听
鈥淚 did wonder if he would show the same levels that he did at City in his prime but his first few games for Chelsea really prove that Raheem Sterling is not finished,鈥� Roy said.
Farinola said he found the Sterling deal to be a shock due to the fact that Manchester City and Chelsea both compete at the same level, towards the top of the Premier League.
鈥淭he Sterling deal was an odd one because Chelsea is really one of City鈥檚 competitors, but to be frank, it鈥檚 a good deal for all parties,鈥� Farinola said.听
Ultimately, Roy said transfers and new signings can be very volatile in terms of success.听听
鈥淗onestly, with these new signings, you really never know until they鈥檝e had enough time to settle in,鈥� Roy said. 鈥淓ven then, sometimes players can become good out of the blue.鈥�
