I’m always happy with rotation.Ah right and you would have been happy with him dropped at the time
There you go. Youre usual way of arguing. Making up stuff people said. I never said short sightedness is good policy. Please point out where i did. I also never said having one striker was the way to go.I’m always happy with rotation.
There are games Kane needed to come off in.
It starts there
Competition for places is healthy and we could have even played them both.
Big go ahead and convince yourself that short sightedness is good policy.
2021 and we still have one striker.
How’s it panned out for you
Oh so you can start the debate but someone contributing to that debate is wrong if its not you. Some echo chamber you live inThe debate was started by me though

Ok let’s play the nonsense game:There you go. Youre usual way of arguing. Making up stuff people said. I never said short sightedness is good policy. Please point out where i did. I also never said having one striker was the way to go.
I clearly outlined why a top striker wouldnt come to us to play second fiddle at the time.
Couldnt be clearer really.
You also make out like its kanes fault we dont have another striker

Have I? Shall we go back to making up quotes thing eh?You also make out like its kanes fault we dont have another striker
Making up stuff people said.
Again i didnt justify it. I was giving points why a top striker wouldnt join usAnd I clearly pointed out that the clubs policy of never dropping Kane was the reason and that it was an incompetent and small time approach which is costing us now
That’s why I said you are advocating short sightedness by justifying it.
Because……you are doing that
Have I? Shall we go back to making up quotes thing eh?
I’ve clearly blamed the club. Kane’s responsible for his own shitness not transfers and team selection
Get off the fence do you or do you not think the club should have signed and used a competent striker even when Kane was goodAgain i didnt justify it. I was giving points why a top striker wouldnt join us
No this thread is people basically sayingThat's literally all he has in this thread. Makes stuff up when he runs out of things to say. And also pats himself on the back for it for some strange reason.
Mate, I don't think people in here understand the concept of playing style and maximizing the team's ability, not just maximizing the stats of just one player.If Kane stays, he should be used like Llorente was, but his ego and some delirious fans feel he’s a 45 goal a season City player trapped in a Spurs kit.

People do not realize that when Kane is on the pitch, playing as a non pressing/no pace #9, we as a team suffer. People see his goal numbers and think that it's because of Kane's greatness rather than being a function of the club's insistence on ensuring that he gets his individual stats.
Juventus and RM were willing to move on from Ronaldo and there are some no-so-subtle murmurs from Man Utd questioning whether he's the right fit for the team. And this is a man that's has been and is still infinitely better than Kane, still scoring worldies at the top level and still probably one of the best goal scorers in the world. Sometimes, players just don't fit with the rest of the other players and we need to move on from them or find another place for them.
Like you said, it's maybe playing Kane in a Llorente type of role, being a striker supporting/distributing to our other attackers, or maybe we just completely try to revinvent him into a player that just focuses on distribution. His passing his still very good and he doesn't need that much pace/physicality etc. to execute his long balls.
Exactly - there's a difference between us and the England national team and Man City.People mate watching Kane and are satisfied with 3/4 passes over a game despite missing a sitter and not once heading the ball or winning possession or even slightly threatening newly promoted defenders.
They wore him out in 34 minutes by calmly tapping triangles around him.
Same people lauding the vast difference in intensity that Conte is bringing.
Same people who a mere few weeks ago were lauding Kane scoring against San Marino and thinking it would instantly translate into PL goals.
How can people not see he doesn’t fit this new era we want to build?
To play with Kane means we can’t play the high intensity they want, but it’s like a brick wall.
What the fuck is the point in having Navy Seal training sessions and building the team around the slowest and most ponderous striker in the league, who can’t get on the end of any cross ever, because he’s behind the play?
What’s the point? There is no point whatsoever in persisting with a striker who doesn’t score, and doesn’t assist.

Fucking hell
It's a completely reasonable opinion to think that:
- Kane should probably play 25%-30% less minutes over the course of a season.
- That if he did, we'd perform better over the course of a season.
- That some of our best performances in our biggest matches over the past few seasons were without Kane available.
- That if Kane played less minutes he might prolong his career at the top-level.
This is fair hypothesis but that's all it is- 1 and 2 that is. We definitely need a quality striker to play alongside or backup to Kane.It's a completely reasonable opinion to think that:

Not going to happen otherwise we'd already have two other strikersKane should probably play 25%-30% less minutes over the course of a season.
You are a master debater.The debate was started by me.
That’s nice, still struggling to find anything to type about Kane I see.You are a master debater.
There is no debate. You are Adrian Durham and the punters keep biting.
No reasonable person could actually believe the guff you come out with but who cares?
You are winding people up on here and you and they are loving it.
