With all his injuries he has still averaged a goal every 4 games, but now that he is actually fit and ready to go people want him sold.
Who would be the replacement ready to deliver the same at a price we are willing to pay, assuming Solanke is first choice?
If Frank is willing to work with Dane and back him, not bringing him off the bench in the 88th minute, I am up for that. Otherwise?

I assume Scarlett's agent will be like use him or lose him. I know he's under contract but he must be getting itchy feet. There becomes a time to split ways.

It’s been 3 years of constant injuries, we have to be ruthless. He needs to be forced out and replaced with someone who can play regularly.

He’s a good lad and a useful player when fit but it’s insane to suggest we should give him a fourth season to show he can stay fit. We have to get rid while he still has value.

Kane went 6 games without a goal in 2015/16 and quite notoriously didn't score in August in how many seasons?

CFs don't just score goals and don't control the service they get - the modern game demands a broader goal that just "how many goals". If he was botching chances like Janssen/Soldado it would be different, but he isn't.

Yes he is, Richarlison has missed a huge number of sitters in his time here. Outside of a little spell in 23/24 his finishing has been abysmal.

I don’t expect every striker to be able to create chances for themselves but they need to at least be able to tap the ball in.

Yet his goals per 90s compared to two other players people bang on about is the highest for last season, despite only 4 starts in a pretty crappy ange team

Go back to 23/24 and his accuracy, shots on target, and goals are all highest

Yep - that’s in his prime mid to late 20’s too. Not gonna get any more robust at this age and his energy and VO2 will drop

Never understood Levy's enthusiasm for signing the player was it some sort of deal with his mate Bill
And for such a demon negotiator he pays north of £50m on a punt.

Everton were skint, Rich was their best player and had just kept them up. We needed a backup to Kane and someone that could also play wide. most people thought he was a decent buy - bit expensive but ticked a lot of boxes. Has turned out as good a buy as the Brazilian the scum took off city.

That is why Kane was criticized and we joked about his season always starting in September for him.
Same goes for Richarlison. You can say the modern game demands more than goals however, its GOALS that wins games and a Strikers job is to score goals.... so yea... Kane does that and that is why is one of the greatest ever. Shocking that you would even compare.

Yes this is typical spurs if we keep him. We never bin players when we should. 3 seasons is a long enough sample period to know a) he isn’t really a good footballer and b) he is always injured.
Takes up squad place which is basically wasted.
