I’m not feeling that bad over missing out on Kane and am not suicidal if we go into this season without a recognised top striker as we still have a ludicrously good side. We will again score bucket loads of goals this season and will concede very few with the defence we have, and talk us falling out of the top four is simply a ludicrous over reaction by some on here imho
However Chelsea probably (are as we stand) favourites in my view for the title and having Pep for only two more season it seems a waste not giving a side capable of winning the biggest prizes as it take us a while to find the right manager after he’s gone.
I wish I didn’t hate Ronaldo as much as I do as on paper he is the obvious answer for us, ok he‘s 36 (which is remarkable that he’s playing at the level he is in itself) but his stats last year were insane (on par with Messi) scoring nearly a goal a game (every 94 mins in the league last year) and his touch, pace and finishing are still top draw. He is the only player one can really compare to Messi in terms of quality and image…but but but I hate the posing, preening turnip with every once of my being.
I hope with what’s left of the window we still get a striker option in as it such a massive hole in our side. Obviously there very few strikers would could fit in our team (which is why we bet everything on Kane), and if it’s Ronaldo honestly he’ll probably score 30 goals and I’ll forget how much I utterly detest him and if not (as i Don’t see him dropping his salary) I’ll support whoever they get. I hope we start looking at haaland seriously now and we start making overtures to Pochettino as I think his contract runs out in 2023 wh3n pep leaves and would be IMO the perfect manager to carry on pep city (accepting no one is pep and we are bound to struggle to keep up the levels he’s set).
