Ricardlison for Kane is like swapping Bar Rafaeli for Donna Cullen
He's a 1 in 20 striker in spurs colours.
This is the absolute minimum we should be doing without selling Kane. How would the be acceptable for anyone?Kane money goes on one of Tapsoba or VDV and Lenglet or Tosin.
To play devils advocate - because the attack is already fine without Kane, having added two good players, and we would now be sorting the defenceThis is the absolute minimum we should be doing without selling Kane. How would the be acceptable for anyone?
Haha.What do you suggest as an alternative? Do you have some hidden masterplan that will solve all of our issues in one fell swoop and guarantee us Champions League football?
Thought not.
We aren’t in a good position, and we have to make the best out of it. We can do that by changing the focus of the team from an incredible striker, to a more balanced team approach, with goals spread more evenly across the players. We also desperately need to improve the defence, so a couple of good CBs would definitely help.
Gift or ban was what A&C said to me when I didn't get him a christmas present.
Hates Arsenal too...
Although this quote may disqualify us.
Perhaps that reflects how he was coached and played……He's a 1 in 20 striker in spurs colours.
Almost every post on this board at the moment reminds me of this.Perhaps that reflects how he was coached and played……
The striker situation I can live with if we bring in a very talented young player. From what I understand about Agne's system, Richy is made for it. What I can't accept is Lenglet or Tosin if Kane goes.To play devils advocate - because the attack is already fine without Kane, having added two good players, and we would now be sorting the defence
It represents a net improvement.
Yes, I’d like one more good attacking player, but I’d be OK with the situation if that’s how we landed
Totally fairThe striker situation I can live with if we bring in a very talented young player. From what I understand about Agne's system, Richy is made for it. What I can't accept is Lenglet or Tosin if Kane goes.
Coached to be offside every time? Or to miss some pretty easy chances? I've no doubt he'll improve I just can't understand moving backwards so far from last year up front.Perhaps that reflects how he was coached and played……
Tosin would make sense for a homegrown requirement. Not as first choice though. If we sell Kane our homegrown 8 would be Forster, Spence, Sess, Davies, Rodon, Tanganga, Skipp, Maddison. At least one of those has to go really. Otherwise we would have to keep all those horrible defenders. Other homegrown players we get linked too are too expensive so Tosin actually makes sense as a cheap upgrade on Tanganga or Rodon. We're also too high above the 17 non homegrown so adding 2 non homegrown defenders would probably make it difficult to add a non homegrown forward. I think I'd take Taposba with Tosin if it allows a non homegrown forward as homegrown forwards will be way overpriced.The striker situation I can live with if we bring in a very talented young player.

How are we supposed to not move backwards? There is no one else at Kane's level.Coached to be offside every time? Or to miss some pretty easy chances? I've no doubt he'll improve I just can't understand moving backwards so far from last year up front.
Play as a teamHow are we supposed to not move backwards? There is no one else at Kane's level.
Another reason why we should have bought Raya as he is HG.Tosin would make sense for a homegrown requirement. Not as first choice though.

That's my point. You can't expect to replace the best in the world with someone as good. It's not possible. Then you'll be disappointed no matter what.Play as a team
ENIC are so successful at bringing down expectations. Wonder how long till someone is happy we sell Kane and bring in Lenglet Tosin and OrbanThis is the absolute minimum we should be doing without selling Kane. How would the be acceptable for anyone?
