Well I guess Im one of the 30ish % that are reasonably happy that this deal fell through. I can genuinely say that I never wanted him at the club right from the get go and believe he wasnt the player we should be going for....
Who we should be going for is a different argument and at present there doesnt seem to be any real alternatives
We need a forward BUT we may not get one this season and that may mean us not winning the league. Im more than happy with that risk as for me getting the wrong forward in (and I believe Kane was the wrong forward despite his stats). Next summer there will be other potential targets and maybe another youngster will break through somewhere in Europe/S. America that we can target (maybe even. Delap, but he is possibly too far off at present).
For me getting kane would have meant being stuck with the wrong forward for another 4-5 seasons and that would have been a barrier to getting someone else in the future (or at least for a few years). I believe he was an injury risk as well, well beyond the norm and those reoccuring ankle injuries have been played down (and then the ruour about his knee being fucked as well - though that could just be rumour)
