K.A.N.E
You’re not
Honestly talking to the wall here. Look at what i said. I said our policy wasnt right but i gave an explanation as to why i thought a top striker wouldnt want to come to us. Jesus fucking christGet off the fence do you or do you not think the club should have signed and used a competent striker even when Kane was good
Name these fast high intensity playersExactly - there's a difference between us and the England national team and Man City.
Maybe having Kane would be effective for those teams because they can get away with a striker that just needs to be at the right place at the right time and let others do the hard work. Kane can still do that and he does it well.
But we as a team are not City and England and we're never going to be those type of teams. Our golden years 3-5 years ago was the perfect storm and likely to never happen again.
As you say, we've got all these fast, high intensity type of players, only to be slowed down by our main point of attack and the man closest to the goal. We need a more aggressive, athletic and cerebral striker that can lead the attack.
Name strikers that are faster and higher intensity than Kane? Wow that's too difficult. I'm not sure I can do that mate.

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.
4 big chances created in 12 games.
5 big chances missed.
27 shots
1 goal
1 assist
Fucking hell
I expect Kane to score tomorrow..
So much to unpick but all I am interested in is whether we win our football games.
Far too much energy wasted on the bloke.
If he doesn't score at least one against Norwich then he really has morphed into Freddie Sears.
I am not using that metric as he has failed to score against numerous teams of similar standing.
I simply feel Kane will score tomorrow, assuming he plays.
And if he doesn't then my feeling was wrong. Nothing more than that.
Mate, he had a 13% goal conversion rate last season and 4% this season.If we don't create a bundle of chances against Norwich over 90 minutes then we're even worse than I thought.
Harry won't keep on missing the odd chance he has been missing here and there for us, Hopefully he can grab at least one tomorrow and then I wouldn't surprised at all to see him go on a bit of a run. That doesn't mean him scoring just about every week as he has done for so long.
If they don’t back themselves to get in the team and do well can they really be top strikers?Not really no. The debate is whether a top striker wouldnt come. Ive outlined why they wouldnt.
Every manager always wants more players
Mate, he had a 13% goal conversion rate last season and 4% this season.
He's taken like 70 more shots to score 1 less non penalty goal than Son since the start of last season.
He misses a shit load of chances.
Oh!!!!!How about you make a note of his career appearances and goals, and not just the last few months, you whopper.
"Doesn't score, doesn't assist". Yet he was top scorer in the Premier League last season, and had numerous assists last season.![]()
Oh!!!!!
Wait!!!!!
We can use last seasons points this year!!!!
I didn’t know!!!!
Yaaaaaay!!!!
I couldn't care less how many shots he takes in certain games to score.
A player taking the most shots in the league and having the highest xG in the league wins the Golden Boot... Who would have thought?But he's still been good enough to score a silly amount of goals every season.
If Kane still has one goal in February, will you celebrate 2015?But you act like the previous 9 or so seasons didn't actually exist.
Of course, it suits your agenda to concentrate only on the last few months.
