Mate I’m so done with it.
What the fuck are you watching? I don’t give a toss how many goals he’s scored against the bottom 10 and pig farmers this season.

He’s as big a bottle job as anyone else on that pitch

Hell is empty and all the devils are here.

I won't go as far as to say Kane is a bottle job but there's a losers mentality, some inherent weakness of spirit that is just endemic in that squad, and Kane, Son, Lloris etc are certainly not completely immune to it. As much as I love Kane, he doesn't seem to lift the players around him like even a Bruno Fernandes has done this season. You can see he demands competence from those around him and I don't see that in Kane so much.

At the same time, he's one of the best strikers in the world and who could trust decision makers at our club to invest in the right goalscorers? We're surely best off trying to keep Kane/Son and improving our CB, RB , RW and midfield.
 
It is truly staggering how much deadwood we have managed to accumulate within the squad,both through terrible buys, poor player development & complete utter loss of form.
Serious questions need to be asked about the structures in place within the club, in particular player identification and scouting.
Despite what some might say,scouting isn't easy. But when you see what the likes of Leicester are achieving you have to admit it is feasible and what we should aspire towards. The likes of Ndidi , Tielemans, Fofana,etc weren't bargain buys. They paid decent sums...but they have a knack for getting it right.
We need change. Badly...

Since I was banned for telling truth bombs about Kane, he’s played a final and didn’t touch the ball, played against Sheff Utd and looked like a Sheff Utd player, and played against Leeds where he touched the ball once but was offside.

One day, hopefully next season, you will see that when the dregs and ghosts of 2016 all fuck off for good (bar Lloris) we can finally turn a corner.

For me it’s as plain as daylight, he hasn’t got the winning mentality or consistency to drag this team to a trophy of any kind.

His targets are personal, his injured cup final appearance are a disgrace, and basically our version of John Terry’s full kit wanker.

This club is too much about him, but he’s just not good enough as proven by the two BIGGEST moments in our recent history not featuring him on the pitch. City and Ajax.

What happened when the “best player” came back in the final though?
The manager bottled it and so did Kane.

End of

Anyone who says ‘end of’ automatically loses the argument.

And I’m voting you right back into the bin where you belong, Sol Campbell.
 
In the Amazon doc Levy was moaning about how complicated a transfer is and how the player population is like a pyramid. The higher up you get (as a club) the fewer options you have that would improve the squad. This really shows why we struggle so much imo:
1. It's the same for all clubs. If Leicester and Dortmund can sign a lot of players, so can we.
2. It's obvious we have no real scouting network or philosophy behind recruitment. Talent pop up all the time. It's the Club's job to identify it.
3. Levy knows very little about the sport and is holding us back on that side of things


yep that Just proved what I knew all along. Levy is making tired old excuses and trying to justify his stance in the market. Oh poor me, transfers are so hard and you don’t understand etc etc. Justifying his failings. If it’s so difficult, how comes tonnes of other clubs seem to be able to pull off transfers that win them trophies? Levy isn’t interested in developing the playing field

What I would love to see is if the likes of Tielemans, Ndidi, Fofana that we were heavily linked with had come to us, would they have done well like they have done at Leicester or would they have been dragged down and lost form like so many of our players.
 
Aurier and Reguilon from the starting 11 need to be first out the door.
Reggie is absolute shit, and the very slight advantage he had attacking wise is long gone.
Fooled a lot of our fans because he ran araaand a bit, whoopdy doo, shame it’s like having Charlie Adam as LB though. Total shit player.

Aurier needed to leave two years ago, a nothing player oddly celebrated when replacing the RB that’s about to win La Liga.

Dier, Sanchez, Winks, Sissoko, Lamela, Dele also need to go.

Kane can go, this club has come second to him for too long now, and if Son fucks off, so be it.
Lo Celso is shit, but might as well stay and hope, Ndombele I’d keep as an expensive super sub, Moura I’d keep, and I’d sign Bale.
Hojberg can be something.

Get Skipp and Tanganga involved, get in some players that don’t make me want to punch a brick wall.
oddly enough I agree with most of this post except I would say Reguillon deserves another season as he showed he has the talent. He has definitely regressed for sure but yeh deserves another season to prove himself .

The Aurier signing at the time made complete sense as it looked like we were getting a potential world class player for less than half the price we sold Kyle Walker. Tbh I still wouldn't mind if he stayed as cover but definitely not as a starter.

Get the fuck out Dier, Sanchez, Davies, Winks, Sissoko, Lamela . Bog standard cloggers who have overstayed their welcome here. Dele can leave as well.

Kane I obviously love but providing we get a decent sum for him (or decent players in exchange) then maybe its best for both us and him that he moves on.

Sess and Skipp will be back so hopefully that starts the youthful rebuild along with Tanganga and Rodon.
