Look, we all got used to an absolute dawg up front in Kane for 8 years. Anyone’s gonna suffer in comparison.
He does so many things averagely though. Got loads of heart and effort, but the quality is mediocre.

You must’ve missed the plethora of chances he had in those games, ironically. Having a striker who needs ~5 decent chances to score once isn’t good enough in the long run.

Serious question, who would you want to replace him?

Honestly I’d sell for that and would try for a proven player wouldn’t even be against getting a 30 something year old for a season or so then go for Boniface.
Maybe even try for a Solanke or Abraham for now
Scarlett was on for a lot less tonight for example and just looked more of a threat and got on the ball more

Great effort as always but literally terrible today. After the last few games/goals I was hoping for better.
Ok, fair enough. It’s opinions of course.
Thanks though for being the first person I’ve seen in here to actually give some names they would go for

Any one of:
Vlahovic, Toney, Boniface, Guirassy, Gimenez,.
If we can recoup most of the fee we paid, I do think there are better options out there.

Johnson and Rocharlison would make excellent impact players

Utter nonsense, right? Win a game and some folk on here are straight into the player thread of the weakest link on the day slagging them off. Ah well. Grab a beer and stick a movie on instead, hey?!

His lack of pace is quite startling at times.

Yes, I never realized how slow he was!
i honestly think he is slower than Kane/Soldado/Janssen

I think it’s fair to praise his work rate and excellent recent goal scoring form and also acknowledge that he likely isn’t the long term answer to our striker position.
He’s doing a great job and he’ll be an excellent squad option in the final version of this current team. But for this system to flourish we need someone much more clinical and comfortable with the ball at their feet too.

if its a one on one on his left foot no chance his ball striking is so poor. It's always going to be hard being compared to such a pure ball striker as Kane was and also Son is but seriously he doesn't even look like getting a clean strike on the ball most of the time unless its a header or right foot tap in. Scarlett looked like a baller when he came on compared to what we had seen from Richy for 80 minutes and he couldn't even get a kick in the championship. if you told me I had the choice of either of them to score a one on one against the keeper from the edge of the box and my life depended on it I would choose scarlett.

He's 100% slower than Kane. Obviously in isolation you don't need to be quick to play cf, but considering how little else he has to his game it is a major problem.

But this is the thing, we're a team that create so many chances, and we can replace his contribution for very little. You can choose to look at his last 6 games in isolation, but watch him play, look at his entire Spurs career, and you'll see a glaring lack of so many attributes you'd want from a top level striker. To spend that amount on a player who just presses well and does little else is a bad use of funds.
