Harry Kane

[Fat Jim]

Been boring as fuck this. fuck spurs and fuck levy.

City look like mugs putting all the eggs in the kane basket when lukaku, messi, ronaldo and now lewandowski are available - especially if we dont get him over the line

We don’t have a proper striker at the club

You don’t say. I hadn’t noticed. Perhaps the club would prefer to continue with a false 9 & wait for Haaland rather than buy a sons choice striker

However, who were you thinking of?

You forgot the 3rd stooge

The Tramadol Triumvirate.

Maybe I’m jumping the gun a bit here,but isn’t it slightly telling that delap signs a new long term contract and then is told he’s not going out on loan,yes we were most likely always looking to tie him down,but the word was he was going out on loan for the season,if we don’t get Kane hopefully we bring someone else in this last week of the window,hard yes but not impossible..

Did I miss something about Delap?

Jesus isn't playing as a striker, so when posters say there might not be another striker available that impoves us they probably mean improves the team, not improves individuals. As it's the team that matters, if the club don't see an option that improves the team is available then that's what it is. They obviously think Kane improves the team, and unless they have an alternative we don't know about then they think nobody else available improves the team otherwise they would buy the alternative.

Agreed

I was referring to the fact we have players who can play false 9 - better than a second best striker. But you must be right eh

I'm not saying I'm right... it's an opinion.. that's how these forums work eh

For me the false 9 was a one off last season. Our midfielders were in the goalscoring form of their life. Towards the end of the season, the better teams had sussed out this system and we weren't finding the same success with it

Go with it again and the Leicester and Spurs game will be repeated many times over the next 9 months

We can't rely on Torres or Jesus who have proved many times, despite having other qualities, that they're not goalscorer's.

It's weird how people manage to convince themselves of lies like this.

Jesus is not an absolutely elite, top 5 in the world striker.

But over 5 years he's shown he'll score every 120 minutes or so when he starts. If he plays 38 games as a 9, he'll get 20 goals.

Kane might get 30 or 35, but Gabby is still a better striker than 15/16 clubs in the league have. We're still big favourites to win the league without Kane.

Was it not posted on here ( not this thread) that he wasn’t going out on loan after all Stoke I think were favourites but he’s staying now,unless I’ve got my wires crossed..

 

[PALESTINIAN HEARTED MANC]

Last season we were pursuing multiple defenders with the striker weve basically done the opposite and appear to only want kane.

It could be due to lack of top quality strikers available. And I feel management have a very precise criteria for that striker, and that's why we didn't go after some of the big names who came available recently due to age and character.

Ha ha. Not everyone has that cheery disposition FI. Although Blue Moon would appear to have another target in it's sights today.

Was it Rik Mayall in The Young Ones who said something along the lines of "If everyone was the same you would have a really weird telephone directory"?

Vive la difference.
