They're different types of striker but one is not more marketable than the other.

You are like other posters underestimating him and ignoring the kind of managers and demands he’s had. And what kind of player he was at 21.And Kane has link up play and creativity Haaland could only dream of.

One correction, by my count, Kane has 20, not 21 UCL goals
Haaland offers physicality and pace in many more ways than Kane. Mino has not scored the goals for him.
He's also younger than Phil Foden. At the same age as Haaland, Kane was yet to start a premier league game.
Well obviously they played 13 just to get to the final in 2019.
Yeah, it was the fact they had 4 years in a row of CL football that I somehow subconsciously overlooked . And Kane has indeed done well in the competition.
It is interesting that the perception of them is what it is, Haaland seems to have the star appeal, and Kane seems to be seen as the English Miroslav Klose.

One is clearly far more marketable than the other.

I can understand your arguments about their respective strengths on the pitch - and personally, that’s where any new signing matters most - but to claim they’re both equally marketable is clearly nonsense.
Haaland has all the hype and media noise around him, a huge social following, and at his age is viewed as one of the future stars of the game. He’s a player with genuinely global appeal.
Kane has none of those things.
as a kfa of long standing, my two-pennorth is that given our signature high-pressing style, facing ten or eleven bods on most occasions, then one of Haaland's best attributes, his speed, is negated somewhat. We score lots of goals by quick feet and high-end ball control, if signing Haaland means becoming more of a counter-acting team, that would please me, but for PG it may be a no-way Jose. For all i know the big lad could fit right in, hanging deep and exploiting any gaps with his speed from halfway, he could turn out to be a creator who scores. I am not a fan of HK purely because of his age, and therefore looking for a replacement from the day he signs.
I wont get into a spat about who is best, or who would be more successful, it's all speculation anyway, i would say though that Kane's best days are behind and Haaland's are in front of him. Imo...

Haaland > Kane, by quite a bit imo.
a huge social following
Where is the line drawn for huge social followings? Kane's 28m on instagram, twitter and FB is insignificant but Haaland's 29m is huge?

How are we going to fit Haaland and Alvarez into this team together? City must be planning on selling two, three or four players.
