Haaland ghosts yet another final but his team wins and goes down a hero, Kane does that and ends up on the losing team and he solely gets blamed for it, people are genuinely weird
Bale is definitely a better player than Kane and had a much higher ceiling. He's scored in multiple CL finals for a start.
Yep. Scroll back in this thread and you’ll find some of the most deranged football takes I’ve ever seen.
He's not quick enough, wont close people down
I can accept people thinking Bale had a higher ceiling and he was definitely more explosive and exciting but “much higher ceiling” is such silly hyperbole.
I have seen Kane have brilliant games. He absolutely had PSG on strings first leg. That seems to be forgotten because they lost the second leg, even though he also scored in that..
He also scored home and away vs Madrid. I also watched him absolutely boss Chelsea, Woolwich, city, Liverpool in various games with us.
Kane gets less hype for this stuff because he is a bit awkward and not aesthetic. He is more consistent than Bale was with many more top level seasons. Bale just played for peak Real Madrid.
So he was happy for 25 years being a powerless doormat ?Levy didn't have any cash to stump up. Blame the Lewises and Collecott

EDIT: longer if consider their shit tenure at other clubs
As I said , you are saying Levy was their doormat for 30 plus years . So at very best you are saying he was a weak fall guy happy to eat shit for 30 years . Not a great look but if it makes you happy go with itCollecott has been Joe Lewis's purse keeper for ENIC since the Prague days

You have already referred to Kane and PSG in the first leg. Bayern still lost.
When else has Kane been the star player in a big big game?
Put very simply Bale made a bigger difference in the very biggest games.
Kane is better now, which is why I certainly am not criticising him of late.
And I certainly see similarities with Haaland and the very biggest matches, although he does arrive maybe a bit more than Kame did.
Didn't we finish 5th the season after he left?Literally a £1bn footballer in terms of impact. The second he leaves we immediately go down the shitter and have two relegation level seasons.
GOAT English striker. GOAT English footballer if we’re honest with ourselves…
The allegation was we had a relegation level season after he left.Oh wow a single season finishing 5th with one match a week, he must be shite .. it’s not like we’ve completely disintegrated since.
Put simply, you’re wrong. He just had a better PLATFORM. Madrid at their best were amazing and won European cups WITHOUT Bale. They had Ronaldo, Modric, Kroos, stars fucking everywhere. Bale was just a piece of that who had his moments.
Countless times. I mentioned the various star games he had in my last post FFS.
Just utter nonsense. Kane is far better in “big games” than Haaland - it’s just Haaland has had a career playing for a better side.
Utter shite chat about the best striker on earth and the best English player of his generation by a mile.
The allegation was we had a relegation level season after he left.
We didn't. Now fuck off.
Such a rude little boy.
We descended in to shit very quickly after he left, whether you like it or not.
