Nope, what I said was:
and you disingenuously turned that into:
It is insightful and educational. But you need to unlearn what you think you know about the game and look at it a different way. But don't do it on my urging. When you finally realize the truth then pour one out for me.
Nope. I asked you. Feel free to watch Harry's 100 goals and actually take it in. He's a striker, he's there in the box to put in the goals created by other people. Does he do it better than many other strikers? Yes, but don't overrate a player for doing their job. And as has been pointed out many times on here, and the stats bear it out, he is actually not that clinically efficient a striker.
Most strikers are just another striker in my estimation. Harry at WBA would be lost. Harry at City will bang them in. Young Messi at WBA would still be a threat because of his actual intrinsic qualities as a player. Harry possesses no threat, nothing a defender needs to fear. And many CBs from the Euros would concur. Harry is a smart and determined players but that's not going to scare any top level CB. You need threat elsewhere to take away their attention. Someone like Lukaku has threat. He has things (strength being one of them and speed another) that would make CBs worry.
I've been looking forward to the day he moves on because I've felt his loss can be replaced if done right ie fill out the squad and increase the threat in multiple positions.
Many overrate them to their detriment. And my admonition was about overrating what they do or rating them solely on goals. There more to the position.
Convenient to begin the clock now so you can bash Harry for 'putting us in this spot' when the truth is we've had time. So he need not remain another year to make you happy. If you got a problem with it then blame Levy.
Yeah? So we rebuilt well then? Or was it Poch that saved his bacon and salvaged things?
We improved? Stretching that timeline of evaluation though aren't you? I could say that no matter what you think of AVB's time here we improved afterward...if I want to be overly generous. And beyond that just because someone happens after another thing doesn't mean there is a causal relationship.
Yes. City need to be blackballed and teams need to state why it will soon spread and no one will do business with them.
Noticeable drop in avatars featuring Kane this week
I'm not bashing Harry for putting us in the spot.
Note he hasn’t disagreed
No, not keen on Levy's football input.
Haven't heard that song. Is it anything like Ossie's dream?
Hence, right now is ground zero. We start now (well last month) with a new coach and DoF. It's what it is.
I love that Redknapp is leaning out of a car window for the picture they used.I'm not bashing Harry for putting us in the spot.
However, you cut it we've improved incrementally, with the only drop in the last almost 20yrs has come with Poch lowest league position of 4th following 3rd, 2nd, 3rd and no signs of improvement in his first handful of games into a new season. The monumental drop of all with the dinosaur, terrible appointment that more than half the fanbase raved about when it happened and claimed we were going to win the league.
There's loads of nuance in here that will deflect the thread from Kane.
But you seem keen on selling him now and going with Levy's plan and choice of player that he and he alone has spent the last year scouting with targeting???
His cringe manufactured apology will be sickening
