Harry Kane

There’s a gamble with Kane, not this guarantee some posters like to throw about.

there's a gamble with any player you sign we need a striker and he's the best available at moment get him signed

You didn’t say there was no risk with Kane but you didn’t say there was either. you said Haaland was a gamble and then went on to say how perfect Kane was.
I wouldn’t mind but I merely pointed out that taking a gamble signing a player from outside the premier league hasn’t worked out too bad.
I named Sergio and without that gamble you can add David Silva, Kompany, Yaya, Kev and Dinho to that list.
Just some of our greatest players.
All players have risk, Grealish is one too.

I can only explain it again. My point is that Haaland comes with a lot of risks that people are losing sight of because of his mythos, and Kane comes with a lot of strengths that people are downplaying. I've never suggested that Haaland doesn't have obvious strengths or that Kane doesn't have obvious risks, but a bit of common sense will take you a long way - it goes without saying that Haaland has youth on his side, for instance, or that Kane has dodgy ankles. We're 2000 pages into the thread, you can take that as read. I'm talking about the culture surrounding these players in the fandom; Haaland has become "the new Ronaldo" and Kane has become "old bloke with biscuit ankles". And it's a shame, because Kane's our man.

The point I am making is that Haaland's "galactico" hype is leading users to downplay the extent to which he remains a gamble, while also downplaying the extent to which Kane can strengthen us. I have not said that Kane is perfect or that the possibility of Haaland being a great player doesn't exist. Don't see how I can make it any clearer. If we're really getting into such childishly obvious truths as "all players have risk", then I don't see the point of the discussion.
