Why are you trying to minimise the achievements of a truly great striker? 73 goals in the CL against the best of the best.
Only Ronaldo and Messi have more so kindly bugger off.

He put in some amazing performances last season, especially in the first half of it. In fact a lot of people were saying he was playing the best football of his career. That's not that long ago.
Am I wrong in saying that Bayern are an elite team full of elite players?
Am I wrong in saying that most of his goals are goals against dire opposition in the German league?
Sit down.
So people didn't have reasonable cause to believe that Kane would at least get his head straight and knuckle down for the coming season.....?
No-one could have predicted that out of Modric, Bale & Kane; Kane of all people would be the one happy to throw the club under the bus once the season got under way.......
I was happy enough to draw a line and let him leave, but not to have our pants pulled down in doing so by a club that has bottomless pockets.
75m couldn't even get us Martinez..... It would have (potentially) been a punt on a young Vhalovic (whom Atleti failed to prize away for 70m euro) or a similarly Isak (alleged 90m euro release clause); neither of whom have much more than 1 good season under their belt at the top level.

And as I've mentioned more than enough times, his amazing performances are against average/shit teams. He's even had one this season, netting a hat trick against Mura in 30 minutes.
But... when was one time he's had an amazing, world class performance against a big 4 PL side or a crucial game like a semi final or final? Really can't remember one over the past several years.
Who said Son wasn't shit?
Sell Kane, buy Toney. Best for everyone. Kane gets baubles for the mantelpiece, We get a bright star on the up. The only problem is … would Toney want to come to us under NES?…
City being alleged to be "rivals" is neither hear nor there afaic.
- Homegrown.
- England Captain
- One of the EPLs all time scorers
- 3 years on his deal.
- Just had a career season (Golden Boot + top assister).
- Striker being a prime cost position.
Same price as Pepe? ....Less than Grealish? ....Less than Zaha was price-tagged for 3 years ago? ...Same price as Harry McGuire?
Nah; not for me.

I've never once defended is record against the top sides. All I have said is that our team is often shit against in the biggest games, not just him, and that Kane didn't pick himself for the Champions League final, because he gets a lot of blame for that. And also that even scoring goal after goal against the lesser sides still has considerable worth over a season.
Not many on his thread. Not many at all.
True, but if one dares criticise him or acknowledge that he has baron patches every season they get called a "Kane fanboi" by the voices from the creche.
Like Toney, but we ain't getting him in January.....
Maybe not for you, but now we are stuck with an old aging striker, with bad ankles, who doesnt want to be here.
Also, grealish has a longer career left and they will get good value for the money. Kane has not many great years left at all maybe 1 or 2 at max.
I'm trying to point out, (unsuccessfully), that he has the 3rd best record against elite teams.
What Spurs player doesn't have 'baron patches' every season?
What elite winger doesn't have similar patches?
I think both. As for England (and us), dropping deep he’s clearly not the player he was. If he does leave I can see him his career going the Robbie Fowler/Owen route to a slow decline.
His main attribute in many respects.
Grealish 26 (and shin problems)
Kane 28 (and ankle problems)
Not as vast a difference as many would like to make out.....
+ Grealish is still being talked about in terms of potential (crazy but true!); Kane has PROVEN himself.
You honestly don't think a re-freshed Kane would have racked up the goals and more than covered him price-tag in a team as dominant as City?
Besides..... I listed 4/5 players in order to frame to domestic trf market.... Haller & Joelinton cost £45m & £40m respectively FFS!
Are they anything like "barren" patches? If so, I think we should be told..!
