I actually find it more irritating that he's apparently been good for Argentina tbh.
It's almost as if he's showing what he cares more about. He's playing well for them AND not bothered about the potential quarantine issues when he gets back and is then utterly shit for us if he even plays.
No he definitely isn’t
Wrong
I can show the arguments I had with Totti over it in January 2019
I said we should use the back up strikers we have and integrate them.
Then when we didn’t, I wanted to sign one.

Sometimes it’s good to repeat yourself so when people lie about you there’s a ton of evidence
The first one is particularly interesting, and was from a time Kane was injured but most people thought a RB was priority…
My views on Kane have been consistent
so, do you want to win a match with that lineup uh?
let's think to west ham
let's think to west ham
He’s not been that bad
Or maybe we need to find out WHY he plays well for Argentina and fit that into the team. He clearly has talent .
Jesus is a striker.
And Guardiola’s system means they can play with a false 9/Ferran Torres there and be fine. We aren’t capable of that and need an actual outlet.
Who is now better at right wing
Way too complex a debate to get into with people on here, especially if I'm already going to have statements I haven't made put in my mouth.
But just being on this forum past few years I've noticed it from certain posters, the fact you're immediately willing to talk for the entire spurs fan base and rule out that this happens is quite incredible too, especially given the events of the past few years on social media.
But I'll leave it there.
Maybe so, but he arrived a striker. Just because he can now play a different position well doesn’t change that he’s also capable of playing through the middle perfectly naturally.
And again, the lack of a striker would hurt us far more than City. Their system isn’t reliant on an out and out goal scorer like ours is.
Chelsea fans
Not getting into name calling but it is unfair on Scarlett, who should be out on loan learning his trade, and under less pressure and spotlight.
For us not to have a 2nd striker is the biggest blind spot I can think of, especially with what was going on in the summer.
There are numerous out there who could bridge the chasm that sits between Kane and Captain Scarlett.
That's because we quite obviously should always try to play to the strengths of our best player
Well yes, I'm not implying we should deploy a false 9. I'm saying we're reliant on an out and out CF in our system, and should probably acquire a reliable backup who can play cup matches, provide a threat from the bench and challenge for a place.
It won't be easy, not many will want to play second fiddle for Kane. Somebody like Daka would have been perfect if it was at all possible. It's ridiculous we're wheeling out a 17 year old in Europe.
Well I don't think it is - these guys like Scarlett and Markanday will just leave if there's no route to the first team.
We could sign another Vinicius, but long term they won't be good enough.....it's just a waste of money and squad place to feel better about beating Vitesse away
Because the real problem is doing the hiring and firing Imho.
Scarlett is 17. He should be playing U21 unless he's a generational talent with the physicality to step up, and then when he develops a bit more should go on loan. There's no reason for him to be wasting his time playing European games with no service where he can't compete because he isn't ready.
And the only alternative isn't another Vinicius, there are forwards out there with ability. A waste of a squad place having a backup CF like most teams in world football do? Really?
