Are the ones bemoaning Kane's age/ injury record because they want Halaand, the same ones screaming for City to sign Koubially.

That last paragraph nails it. Would prefer Haaland due to his age but anyone turning their nose up at Kane as an alternative must be mad. He would be a significant upgrade on what we have up front
It’s the obsession with longevity which I find strange. Some people are so focused on the future that they ignore the here and now.
Real Madrid dominated Europe with a squad which contained key players in their prime. Ronaldo, Marcelo, Modric and Ramos were all in their late 20s/early 30s during that spell.
Sign Kane and we’d have him, KDB, Sterling, Bernardo, Stones and Laporte all falling into the same category over the next 4 years.
I’ve not actually seen that much of Haaland but know he’s had a meteoric rise of the past 24 months. He also impressed me in the CL match.
But I have seen a lot of Kane and he’s been immense for many years now. He’s also become one of the best passers in the league and has the assists to back it up.
The fact that there are some posts on here wishing him to join United is utter madness.
I’m guessing some people have set their hearts on Haaland so feel the need to argue against Kane. I’m trying to be generous here.It’s the obsession with longevity which I find strange. Some people are so focused on the future that they ignore the here and now.

Prime Sergio, no. The current 2021 post-injuries Sergio, sadly yes.I totally disagree that Kane is an upgrade on Aguero and would be value for money but fair play if you think that
Hard to say Longsight he has struggled to get on the pitch in the past two seasons.Prime Sergio, no. The current 2021 post-injuries Sergio, sadly yes.
As for Harry I was a fan up to 12 months ago not so sure now.
With that price tag on him would prefer starlet from the Continent.

One of the problems with Kane for me is that for someone his age, the lack of titles is an issue. He may be a winner of certain stats in certain years, but he’s not a Winner. I like players used to winning, especially at that age. And his European record isn’t impressive either.
By the way, the players from Madrid you mentioned all have (still) better physical conditions than Kane. Ronaldo is the ultimate athlete who thinks of his body as a temple, for instance.
Would I prefer Kane over some of the lesser names people throw around like Danny Ings or Andre Silva? 100%. But I have Haaland and Lukaku way ahead of him.

This is where I have to disagree with you.
Has Kyle Walker’s game dramatically changed from when he was at Spurs? He’s more defensive but still got the exact same skill set. Yet he’s a serial winner at City.
John O’Shea didn’t lack winners medals but he was nowhere near as good as other defenders in the PL.
Teams win trophies not individuals.
But sticking on the United theme, I seem to remember them signing one of the best attackers in the PL, who by your logic, “wasn’t a winner” in van Persie. Look how that ended up.
Same injury record as AgueroPrime Sergio, no. The current 2021 post-injuries Sergio, sadly yes.
