Are comments about Mbappe similarly harsh? He didn't score in the last 16 match, he didn't score in the group games and he missed the match losing penalty. Or is that a different matter?
Yeah. His 11 goals in March and April alone were a great example of that.He was brilliant the first half of the season. He’s physically dropped off a cliff in 2021. His numbers won’t continue.. he’s ageing like milk.
Hes one of those shit players who've scored 200 goals in 300 games for club and country. Garbage.
Remember when Chelsea signed Fernando Torres?
He was 27 years old and had an incredible record for Liverpool and Atletico and Spain - about 200 in 350 games.
But he just looked a bit wrong for 6 months after the world cup, lost his fear factor. Chelsea thought he'd get over it. He never did.
You could write something similar about Kane, I feel like he's showing signs he might be about to drop a level. He certainly has lost any semblance of pace, so that part of his game is gone. He will adapt by dropping deeper but we arent Spurs, we dont want a striker playing 10.
He'll be good in the box still and set pieces but once you lose a dimension you become a lot easier to mark.

I’m in the not wanting Kane camp, however in balance of that I’d ask how much of his bad form is down to wanting a move and knowing City want him. How much is down to Spuds holding him back or making threats to the player? I’d guess a lot (considering we allegedly made our intentions clear in Jan) has caused a drama in his head. He wants the move, he believes in himself but I’m sure it’s all taking its toll. I still don’t want him but let’s be fair on what can cause bad form.
He’s looked fairly average in the Euros, but it would be more than a bit premature to write him off on the basis of four games. He got 23 goals and 14 assists in 35 appearances last season. City will have scouted him relentlessly in that period, so you would hope they’d pick up on any significant decline in his ability. Wouldn’t be my first choice, but if Pep and Txiki decide he is the striker they want then we should probably trust their judgement.

Same for sterling actually
We need to be ruthless

I’ve noticed he’s looked pretty shite since the season ended in May!
I know I hate them sort of playersHes one of those shit players who've scored 200 goals in 300 games for club and country. Garbage.
They just score loads of goals consistently for years in a top league
I much prefer the guys who run around A lot and then miss easy chances
Well he didn’t show up for a champions league final....he should fit in pretty wellCity players are performing so badly, we should get rid and get the Spuds striker for the whole lot.
Your rightHe was brilliant. He isn’t at the moment.. and it’s physical.. the brilliant isn’t going to continue.
Pep and Txiki know nothing, they think he’ll be class
think you should give them a bell and offer them assistance, stop them making a huge mistake
Better fuck off grealish too....don’t like his hair
Your right

The thing is this is exactly when people do the kind of damage they don't come back from.
12 months of football with no break, straight into friendlies and an international tournament no break straight back into another season.
Today was his 3rd in his last 12 games.
If he is bad against Ukraine/Sweden and Denmark/Croatia if it happens or a final if that happens.... are we still saying its a tiny blip?
Or is it the guy who played himself into the ground over the longest, most congested season in history and never made it back?
And most importantly do you want City to bet £120M on knowing the answer?

I’m all for Grealish pal. Just not Kane. Txiki and Pep are as good as it gets but everyone makes mistakes and If we buy him Kane he will be theirs imo. Time will tell. But just ignore his numbers for a moment and honestly look at the shape of him compared to a few seasons ago.. downward spiral mate.

Pep and Txiki thought Mendy was brilliant and his history of knee ligament problems was nothing to worry about.
I have no doubt they are right that Kane has been incredible and Kane of 12 months ago would be perfect for us, I dont see how anyone's knowledge of football lets them predict when a player is going to hit their limit physically.

Not when there's another option for slightly more.
Maybe he's in a David Silva type of situation where he's been delaying surgery on a long term problem but, like you said, it's a very expensive question that we don't need to ask.
