I think it's more that we should be less reliant on one player.
Which is why Pochettino and Kane can arguably have said to have failed, because for a while, we were very much a team, with goals from 4 or 5 players.

Brighton did it for one season. They generally struggle with goal-scoring. You can certainly have a one off season where it all clicks, everyone exceeds metrics and the team is flying, but reliable 20+ a season scorers tend to score that many even when the team is having an off year. Brighton will score far less goals next season. Woolwich too, probably.
And Xhaka wouldn't score 5 next season either. And Odegaard won't score 15. Reliability.
The point is, goals are produced by team attacking quality, not the individual track records of the players per se.
Kane is an absolute goal machine, but you don't just subtract 30 off the team total taking him out of the side.
Kane doesn't produce 30 league goals all on his own but a big chunk of them you won't see scored by any other player in our squad, let alone if we talk about what we lose in terms of his ability to switch the play, spray passes in behind (miles beyond even a creative mid like Maddison) etc.
To replace his goals you need a lot of the players on the aforementioned list to play to their full potential. That can happen, but it isn't very reliable and isn't likely to happen season in season out.
It’s kinda not though. Son, a golden boot winner, Maddison one of the most consistent goalscoring mids in the PL the last 4 years. Richarlison scores heavily for Brazil. Maybe him and the rest can now score more because we’re gonna be controlling the ball and pushing teams back rather than counter-attacking nonsense.
He defo broke the Bissouma story last summer.
15, 8, 10 and then 7-10 between the rest of them.
would of been perfect with the sort of squad we have now
Might have been the other one... Anyway; looks like they share an office:

Too much to do for him to turn his cell off and not have assigned temporary control elsewhere.
Not just Kane. Massive number of outgoings and loans to get through.
I’m assuming the cost of a call from Bavaria to Miami is pretty much the same as that from Bavaria to London.
Son and Kulu/Soloman will get a lot this season, angeball usually results in a tap in for a winger
Agreed. It is slightly different to the theatre,etc because with a football club there's brand loyalty that runs deeper. You support a club and that leads to more customer "stickiness" that for movies, etc is more a one off purchase.
Totally agree with the point that fans are unrealistic though thinking we should be shelling out £250m every transfer window "because that's what City, etc do". Can't compare us, run for shareholder profit, to the oil clubs. If you can't hack that reality change clubs and support City or PSG. That's just how it is in football these days, sadly.
The problem is no one wants to buy many of those players you mentioned
