Kane is an upgrade on Aguero if Aguero isn't playing. Prior to last season I'd have taken Aguero over Kane, but only just - so it's probably taking us back to a similar place that we were in for most of the time Pep has been manager.Last season:-
Aguero, 6 goals, 1 assist
Kane, 33 goals, 17 assists
Silva, 5 goals, 9 assists
Grealish, 7 goals, 12 assists
Much as I love Aguero & Silva both, that looks like an upgrade.
Yes, Agureo didn't play much but that's another negative surely? Kane played the equivalent of around 36 games more.
Grealish played less than Silva BTW, around 11 games less but with better stats in a (much) poorer team.
Bernado wants to go by all accounts and time does not stand still, not even for Sergio Aguero.

Not sure about the other comparison though - Bernardo clearly doesn't play in the same role as Grealish. Jack is in a more attacking position, and is the "give it to Gordon" player on his team.
No, I think that is what he saw, but I think the shrug was because the VAR hadn't shown anything different because it kept showing the one inconclusive angle.Maybe VAR had other angles but were having a problem showing them hence the shrug.He does shrug, but I think that might be when he's talking to the VAR ref. If you watch on, he taps his hip about a dozen times to indicate to the players what he saw.
Re. Kane & Aguero, of course we'd all take 2012 (for instance) Aguero over Kane but putting us back to a similar level isn't a bad thing. And if it is Kane we get then I can only see it as an eye on the future to bring through Delap.Kane is an upgrade on Aguero if Aguero isn't playing.

Thats the thing we are all saying we'd prefer Haaland to Kane, but it's possible the club believe Delap can progress and Kane would fit better with that in mind. That's a factor that only those at the club would know.Re. Kane & Aguero, of course we'd all take 2012 (for instance) Aguero over Kane but putting us back to a similar level isn't a bad thing.

I'm not sure Grealish is played in a more attacking position than Bernardo though. Comparing players who play for us and Villa is never going to be a perfect comparison regardless.
I think we're agreeing about what he saw. He shrugs and shakes his head while he's still watching VAR, so it's not for the players benefit, but I agree he's saying he can't see a handball.No, I think that is what he saw, but I think the shrug was because the VAR hadn't shown anything different because it kept showing the one inconclusive angle.Maybe VAR had other angles but were having a problem showing them hence the shrug.
Agree on the first point.Re. Kane & Aguero, of course we'd all take 2012 (for instance) Aguero over Kane but putting us back to a similar level isn't a bad thing. And if it is Kane we get then I can only see it as an eye on the future to bring through Delap.

yeah, he shrugs because he's only got the one angle which doesn't show it clearly, so it was manipulated so he was left unconvinced.He does shrug, but I think that might be when he's talking to the VAR ref. If you watch on, he taps his hip about a dozen times to indicate to the players what he saw.
I agree, much more excited than for Kane.I’m going to get attacked for this opinion but Grealish really does remind me of Eden Hazard at Chelsea the way he takes on players and cuts inside also the speed he does it at. I cant wait for him in this team.
