Erling Haaland

[Mad 4 It]

If Kane stays where he is and Haaland doesn't come to the premier league we are probably no worse off than where we are now. Probably no other premier team is going to improve up front either.
We will still be one of the top teams in Europe and probably favourites for the Premier league as things stand.
It would be a great test for Pep to take the current team, plus some of the youth players, and get them to attain the levels they are at into next season.
If Kane and Haaland dont sign for a premier league team, I dont think we are any worse off.

If we don’t get Kane I don’t see it as a missed opportunity where as if we don’t get Haaland then I do

I think you are naive if you think fans wouldn’t connect to Kane the second he’s scoring for fun for us. Christ I remember being at Birmingham away on Andy Cole’s debut singing his name after scoring a goal! Football fans are fickle mate.

I wouldn’t not sign Haaland because he may leave, it’s just a counter point to people thinking because of his age we’d get more out of him that Kane. I think you’d get a similar amount of time for both

Agreed but Haaland could be at City for 10 years. Kane will be shot in 4

Completely selfish? Most assists this year mate. Vanishes versus the top clubs? He scores against every top club he’s played if I remember correctly. If you don’t want him mate that’s no worries, many don’t strangely but don’t make things up.

completely selfish in that he’s clearly playing injured for England right now at the expense of the team. His refusal to assist in a big game cost England any hope of the World Cup. It’s not making things up to say he performs best vs the smaller teams. Sure, his assists this year were solid but in a clutch he picks himself every time.

Kane, for me, is just a different case. He is Mr. Tottenham. He will always be their player, just playing for us because they've been mismanaged. He could never be our guy, I can't separate him from that club. Sure I'd celebrate his goals, but I'm moreso celebrating the goals going in than the player scoring them.

Southgate should have the bollocks to drop him then. Kane of course wants to play.
Which assist are you talking about here in the World Cup? Surely not the one he could have passed to Sterling

for too long we have had anyone other than Aguero look for a pass then hitting the net, I respect Kane to back himself and we need someone like him.

“Could be” who knows. I’d love him to be.

Most top strikers are, however despite that and his ruthlessness he had the most assists last year. It’s making things up because you’re claiming he’s injured which we don’t know, you’re then claiming he picks himself over others like he has a say. I’d imagine if he calls the shots he wouldn’t have got subbed....
He’s not been great for England, sadly nobody has been but I can’t see how many strikers in a team that creates zero would score many. Judge him by his club performances. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone judge anyone we are linked to by how they play for their country. Strange

Exactly, you’re not going out with the guy. Why does he have to be your guy? Again footy fans are fickle. No one would care within the first few games.

He’s the captain and supposed to be a leader on the pitch. So far I’ve not seen anything to back that up. In fact the best player on the pitch was Foden and did 10 x more than Kane.. just saying bud

This is starting to sound like all the shite people throw about Messi. Along the lines of how dare he be so greedy, who does he think he is, he’s the manager not the man on the sidelines, clearly injured but picks himself, he decides who gets to be picked when he plays and so forth...

For the record he’s done fuck all for Argentina as well but I won’t hold it against him.

So again, you’re only bothered about what he’s doing for England? You not think that’s such a mad way to judge someone? Tell me what you’ve seen from Haaland playing for Norway that makes you want him so much? I’m surprised you’d want him considering they didn’t qualify, surely you’d have wanted him to lead them to success single handedly.
