Harry Kane

Disagree. You can have too many which is why you get situations like Chelsea and the rags where they implode because too many egos aren't being heard and massaged by everyone else.

We have made a habit of having players who speak very little and let their football do the talking, Vinnie was the captain and led by both example and by voice. Dias looks set to pick up that mantle.

Haaland is over imo if it ever was on.
Big difference from leaders to ego's, as a club we have little or no ego's, our manager has a history of not tolerating them, does he Zalatan?

Dias, Fern, Walker, Ederson and KDB are true leaders, and players of that type in my humble opinion, you can't have enough of.

Yeah there is a big difference.

Disagree, you can have too many leaders, too many people who believe they are correct in the direction they want to do things. Walker and Ederson apparently have a big voice in the dressing room, they lead by example of their on the field performances. KDB in fact often looks too emotional with things that doesn't involve the ball at his foot.

I agree about KDB but even that fires people up in his own way, ego's are dangerous.
 
He’s not what he was and he’s not the player we need. As sure as eggs is eggs Harry’s legs are going - he’s not repeatedly picking the ball up on the half way line because he has a better chance of scoring from there. We’re buying a top class striker to give us a different option, someone who can run in behind or can hold the ball up high up the pitch - we already have 10 players in the team, 11 if you count Eddie, who can pick the ball up deep and spray it around.

Agreed. I don't think Kane has an ego, I think he would be pretty humbled joining City. Its a once in a lifetime chance (like Walker) to come straight in at a top team and have a real chance at trophies. He has given Spuds probably too many of his best years out of loyalty and their title challenge a few years back and CL final etc ended as false hopes.
 
He might have a slight issue

Yeah, he might well do. I know Rashford has been carrying an injury for months but considering there was no real break between the last two seasons, there's an international tournament now and another one next summer, I just don't see how players are going to get rested properly. Rotation really doesn't cut it sometimes.

Reminds me of David having to put off ankle surgery for ages and you could see the benefit straight away after he finally got seen to.

I am not sure he has the mentality to play in a big team, that's a worry I have.

Certain personalities don't have it in them, you have to be a certain type of person to be a serial winner.

Winners have an edge about them, they are different to the norm, that's what makes them winners.

Not disputing he looked shite last night and against Croatia. He was exactly the same I. The last World Cup though. Genuinely looked like he couldn’t run.

The counter argument that last season’s goal and assist stats lend great validity to is that it doesn’t matter if he’s lost a yard, his game’s evolved. That just about holds water now but you can’t keep losing a yard otherwise Shearer would still be playing - at some point you’ve lost too many yards and I think Harry will reach that point way too soon to justify a £100m+ outlay
