Harry Kane

Probably going to end up the top goal scorer in Premier League history, probably going to break the England all time goal scoring record, great in the air, deadly finisher in front of goal, excellent link up play, top of the assist charts, done the business year in year out in the Premier League, and desperate to move on to a club where he can contribute to winning trophies. Still, you guys know best ;)
A crock, goes missing in big games/against big teams, has a team built around him, lack of mobility and pressing ability (something that Pep values highly), no pace, older than haaland, dealing with Levy is a pain in the arse, pressure and focus of having the England captain in your team could take away from the team ethos and togetherness.
 
Too injury prone. Amazing player but we don't need any more people on the sick bed
I keep hearing this but let’s look at his stats for the past 5 seasons:

16/17: 38 played 35 goals
17/18: 48 played 41 goals
18/19: 40 played 24 goals
19/20: 34 played 24 goals
20/21 46 played 31 goals

I don’t think he is that injury prone. He seemingly averages about 40 games a season which is about the same as KDB has played for us this year to put it into perspective. His ankle issues I would imagine could be managed better with a lighter work load. As it is now if he is fit he starts every game, with us he would be rotated and kept fresh like with every other outfield city player.

But most importantly just look at that goal to game ratio. He is absolutely world class and would improve us as a side immeasurably imo. Kane is a guaranteed 30 goals a season striker in this side for at least the next 4 seasons imo
 
Voted no purely on the basis that I would really love Haaland given his age, dynamism, etc and the fact that Kane’s fee would be likely to be ridiculous.

If we can’t get Haaland and Kane’s fee is acceptable then I think he would be phenomenal in a team as good as ours. Can’t see Levy playing ball though.

Across the seasons you mention, he has missed 56 games through injury.

Over the same period, Aguero has missed 63, though I suspect we may have played more games.
 
If you watched Kane today you will see his class. He hit the post from 25 yards out early on and it was not even half a chance. Just before half time he used his physicality to screen the ball (not speed, he has none) and run through from 35 yards out to draw the goalkeeper and challenges before leaving Coady and Patricio on their arses before tucking it away. Lesser players would have simply fired in the shot at 1st opportunity and it would have been blocked.

Not only is he technically very good, his footballing brain is shit hot, and at circa £100m is an absolute certainty to be a success. To not bid for him would be lunacy.

we can’t have striker coming in and shooting on site he has to pass it half dozen times first..
 
It's not that I wouldn't want Kane, I'd just rather Haaland if possible.

If not then who would really turn their nose up at Kane.

So long as Levy doesn't act the ****, somehow. Missing out on the Champions League, possibly Europe altogether, might force his hand into accepting closer to £80-100m than the touted £150m

I'm praying we sign a striker this summer
