Yes, it was Manchester City's successful transfer when they brought in Erling Haaland if we look at it now. How he always contributes to Manchester City in every game. He has scored a total of 13 goals in 8 appearances for Manchester City in the Champions League and also the English League. This is a very good record for a striker who has just experienced the atmosphere of the Premier League which is so fierce. Very promising statistics from a player that Manchester City currently has.
He’s a very promising player; that is very obvious with his performance from the very start of his career at Manchester city. Manchester City works perfectly as in a team and in sync, with accurate passes creating opportunities for goals. Dortmund played really well but Manchester city was better in the end with a late goal to help win the game. If you come to think of it, if he was still in Dortmund, Haaland would have probably scored a late goal against Manchester city to help Dortmund win. That’s the type of player he is. Trying to score till the final whistle.
Pep Guardiola's ingenuity should not be forgotten, his foresight last season realized that Manchester City lacked players who were ready to take advantage of opportunities in front of goal. And he brought Erling Haaland with all his ability on the field, especially when dealing with the opponent's goal. And until now it has been proven that Manchester City need a typical player like Haaland. With his young age, this is a valuable asset for Manchester City.

I agree with you that Haaland is a very valuable asset for Manchester City. And Guardiola understood his needs all too well. He picked the right players. And we don't see any weakness in Manchester City now. Manchester City is now a strong and stable team.
But I would say that Guardiola has become too much dependent on Haaland. It is very risky if the team becomes dependent on only one player. If Haaland is absent due to injury before an important match, it will have a negative effect on Manchester City's performance.
