Harry Kane

Its a weakness. Anyone watching zinny in the final could still see it. We've slipped under the radar at LB purely down to sitting much deeper for much of the season.

I mean if you were to base things off of the final then we have weaknesses throughout the whole team.

Don't know why anybody would muster up the energy to actively hate the lad.
Hes about as beige as you can get when it comes to a footballer.
He knows where the net is which is all that matters.

I don't understand why he gets so much hate?

I could think of much worse... Richarlison, Fernandes, Neymar, Firmino.

I think as long as Pep's here we can manage the LB situation. Post-Pep, different story likely.

I think we can manage the lb situation , more worried about replacing Dinho. Any good team needs that 'enforcer' in CM. We had it with NDJ, although much as I love him it was like employing a bouncer. We missed him inho until viera - lost count of how many times he came on in the last half hour to make sure of the points. We were then a bit stuck until we got Dinho. I accept the need for a striker, acknowledge Kanes stats, and that one of our problems is conversion of 6-12 yard chances, but we have other issues to solve too.

Some fair points but people are sleeping on the LB position yet again...its like an Achilles heel that is protruding a yard out.

Yes but if the choice is Kane or a lb, we need Kane more. Zin can hold his own and we have plenty to cover the position. Put away half the chances we create and we won’t need a dm or a lb ;)

That may be the case if we assumed there was no other striker talent in world football able to more reliably finish from 6-12 yards out than gabby...which i would argue there certainly is.

We won the league last season without kane, desperation is not something that should be associated with us anywhere outside of LB imo.

Daka would have been worth a punt with the idea of letting gabby go in 12 months for example. Then try for haaland or some other prospect(even kane at nearly 29 for much less money).

Why buy second rate when the best is longing to join? The fee is ridiculous I agree. In 12 months it will be seen as excellent business. Spend now win now. Lb no worries we have Mendy!

I was with you all the way ………. And then the last line just lost it all ;-()

 

[Plays By Sense Of Smell]

We need a goal scorer. Fern & Rodders will be enough for now. Add into the mix JG and we are golden for the next 3-5 years. FFP is an issue or we would also be in the market for a DM and a LB. As I said we need Goals this season. We can fix the other issues next season. FFP has made sure we can’t do it all in 1 window unfortunately.

No return for Javi Garcia thank you.

You are living in the past. Just because you live there dont expect us all to do the same.

I'm arguing for modesty in our spending if anything here...zero entitlement.
