It's Quiet 16 - Txiki grinders

[richards30]

Fair fucks to the kid. He’s fucking ace.

yep!

 

[Coatigan]

In our team he could get them numbers

Maybe, maybe not. Don't think it can be claimed that boldly.

We would be saying the same about Sterling and Torres, if they didn't already play for us.

 

[Dobsy]

I don't think we can afford Kane as he is a £160m player remember. Literally Neymar, Ronaldo and Messi rolled into one.

 

[Gaz (FMwkdsoul)]

City linked to Renato Sanches, least its a new name for once. Another Portuguese lad in the mix.

Spanish press though, so prob rubbish

Leicester City, presumably.

we know striker will be one of kane/haaland/vlahovic/nunez but who will be dm and lb for next summer

 

[Gumzy97]

Except he really isn't though. 17, 19, 23, 1.
That's not going to add up to 100 goals in 4 seasons.

He would have to improve his average by 10 goals a season to have a chance at breaking Shearer's record (which i just don't get the obsession for), and that's without a post 30s decline kicking in, which seems apparent already. And yes, I know, many players play well into their 30s. Many don't, not as effectively. Strikers in particular.

I don't think it's just his goals why pep wants him. His passing and link up play is brilliant for a striker. Last night against Brentford he came deep and volleyed the ball out wide to lucas breaking the Brentford defence for Lucas to have an attempt at goal. Also he was a major part of the second goal with his defence splitting pass.

From Peps history with Strikers he likes them to link up play to bring the wingers in. David Villa did this, Lewandowski did at Bayern and Aguero did here. Kane has those qualities. Of coming deep into midfield spray passes to the wingers who are running in behind. I found one clip of a pass he did.

I kinda now understand why pep wants him so badly he'd add a new dimension to our attack/counter you don't see many strikers with Kanes vision. If he was younger I'd say sign him. But the age and injuries is an issue.

Lb i think they'll move Cancelo over perm and let Walker and maybe Couto (understudy) on the right side.

DM i''d love Touchemeni but Zakaria on a free after hte outlay on a striker will prob be the move.

For 160 million, I'd want him to do that four times every match and score two....its a lot of money, but not my money, thankfully.

This is all good from Kane. the big problem I have with him is that is that he has completely lost his pace. look at the videos you have posted and see he is nowhere near getting back into the box. Lewandowski I bet will get on the end of those crosses after making that play. we want a forward to get in the box after passing. we have plenty of mids who can make those passes.

Hope not, he’s rubbish.

 

[better dead than red]

Imagine comparing Pep with that horrific prick, and referring to him as " Fergie".

Exactly, mate! He should refer to him as "Sir Alex"! Give the man his due. ;)

Agree. We need a player who is near the goal, not in our own half.

We need a player that does both, that's the point and why it's a very small pool.

Yeah fair point, I can't disagree. I suppose what I should say is we need a player who is better in the box *more* than one who works further back. Kane's pace concerns me that he won't be arriving in the box after dropping.

Maybe it wouldn't matter so much given our possession stats.

Think the fact we play high up the pitch would help, Sounds to me from whats being said Haaland is first choice but we want to know if he's committed by January even if it's for the summer and we are split between Kane and Vlahovic if he won't commit. Can't say I know enough about Vlahovic to have an opinion, but trust the club to make the best decision.

He drops and the mid gets overrun, or he ties up the CBs and the space is there for the 8's etc

Where you lose you gain, i'll Kane dropping but by god he drops way too far looking for the ball, i want him dropping to the #10 into picking the ball up in the #6.

Maybe Pep will just say, "see that spot? Stand there and wait for the ball, it will come, and put it in the net".

Although Kane would be third option for me, after Vlahovic and Haaland.

He isn't being coached by Pep Guardiola. Yet .

Hope not, he’s rubbish.

To be fair Sanches was awful in Germany, he is playing well now he is out of that straight jacket of a league, i would be very happy if we got Sanches or Bissouma in January as Rodri`s back up, both are quick good footballers on low wages
