That's very possible with the way many forwards are playing well in to their mid to late thirties these days. Obviously depends on a case by case basis, but generally speaking with modern sports science/nutrition, players seem to be able to have longer careers. Especially ones (like Kane) who didn't emerge at a ridiculously young age.

Can we all forget Sarr because he is going to spend the next two years on loan
Obviously there's no absolute way of knowing..... The rest of the team could click next year leaving him in the position to bag 30 goals and undo the aforementioned deficit.
Alternatively we could see his assist rate take over as he ages and evolves.
Given that's merely a hunch on your part, I'll await further evidence.
Either way; the above was a 2022 squad list and he'll be with us for pre-season at the very least so making note of him would be fair enough.
We basically lost Diaz to Liverpool because his agent didn’t want Mendes in it
Haaland wants close to 1 mill a week salary. Of course City can afford it but that doesn't mean they will want to pay that much, they have walked away from deals before if they didn't feel it was worth it.
If that 1 mil a week salary thing is legit, City won't do the deal IMO. Pep won't tolerate one player being so far above the rest unless that player is Messi. His City side is all about uniformity and the unit, not individuals. That kind of wage would completely throw his policies out the window.
They've no need to sweeten Dortmund up..... The terms of his contract dictate that he's out of there.... Just a question of where and that'll be down to the player/agent.
Newcastle are going to be a Champo club though.Here's the menu, anyway:
Let's raid them!
Hang on...
But he does use players like that. I guess we can argue over whether someone is an AM or creative or not but every midfield he has played has had way more creativity and attacking ability than what we currently have.
It's chaff put out by his agent. Utter BS
More importantly the only way he can get those goals if hes part of a top 3-4 team for a decent amount of time. Unless we suddenly become very good, its not happening.
You’re saying the aggregate coefficients of the leagues from 1999 to 2018 shows the EPL is higher than LaLiga? Do you have a link? I honestly doubt it, but I could be wrong.
In the last three years the EPL had the highest coefficient two years and LaLiga once. No question that the EPL is the top league in the last three years. The prior twenty years, definitely not, but I could be wrong.
Edit: I looked it up. LaLiga had a higher coefficient than EPL in 13 of the 20 years I mentioned.
Also, a 0 - 0 score can have a lot more quality than a 5-4 slug fest. You belittle Eche and Getafe, but the Burnleys and Norwichs of the world aren’t exactly filled with quality. Since you don’t follow the league, you assume somehow they’re worse than the two I just mentioned. I watch both leagues and can say they do not.
This is why I like objective data. My conclusions are based on it.

I guess now we can see if the problem was Hitchen or Levy.
I am not optimistic we got rid of the right person.

Hitchen got rid of himself. But yes Levy is the bigger problem. We could have the best scouts/DoF in the world, but Levy would still think he knows best.
