Offensively, obviously nowhere near the level of our 2 legends.
Defensively, way better than our 2 legends at their current ages. We've just had back to back seasons conceding over 60 goals in the PL. A well known fact, but fans also forget we've just completed a hatrick of seasons of over 60 goals conceded. Kane and Son were totally complicit in that 22/23 season where we conceded 63 goals in the league. They were shocking defensively.
Now give me a younger Kane and I'll build a very strong case for him defensively. That 16/17 season where Poch conceded 26 goals and Harry was as instrumental as anyone for that lean defensive system whilst also creating and scoring. In some ways, you just know that Richi and Solanke have very strong defensive attributes. We wait to see whether they can score at a higher frequency, even if we know deep down we're unlikely to see another Harry Kane for a while. Frank with a 25 year old Kane would be in another gear.

I am clearly in a minority, but I would rather have Defoe in my team than Cantona. Then again, I never saw what all the fuss was about with Zidane either, so I'm probably not a good judge

Did you think hoddle was better than clive allen?

Why would he think that?
Because that season allen played a 9 and hoddle the 10.
Defoe was a 9 and cantona a 10.
So if he'd rather have defoe in his team than cantona, would he rather have allen than hoddle?
If so fair enough. He scored a load of goals. If not fair enough.

But they're different players. Glenn Hoddle and Clive Allen are totally different. You'd want them both!!! Clive Allen was the better goalscorer for us, but Glenn Hoddle was the greatest midfielder England were too stupid to not build a team around...
He said he'd want defoe in his team over cantona.
I'm making the point that they are different types of players.
I'd rather have a world class player for that type though.

I suspect he meant if you were going to play Cantona in the same role as Defoe. In which case, I'd agree with him.

I can't think of a reality in which anyone would pick Defoe over Cantona. The difference in touch, control, ingenuity, creativity, link play even and range of finishes is startling. There isn't even a difference in goal rates. Defoe only scored more than 13 goals twice for us (4 times in total in his career). Cantona did that in 2 out of his 5 seasons for United and in way fewer games played and was otherwise also way more impactful, in build up, and seizing the moment.
There's no world in which a manager would pick Defoe over Cantona.

Defoe was massively overrated by spurs fans. He was a bright spark in a mediocre time. His finishing was good but not anywhere close to being mr reliable. He reminded me of a poor mans Andy Cole.

Thiago at Brentford earlier today had zero service and got 2 goals from his hard work
He held the ball up, made runs into the channel and worked over the CBs
Complete opposite to Richi
Richi is such a poor player, that will score the occasional wonder goal
We have such a poor selection of strikers

I’m sure he’ll magically find his form again when Solanke and/or Kolo Miami come back. Why do we always sign the Brazilians with the least amount of technical skill? I know Brazil are at a low ebb at the moment and have been for 20 years but they’ve still got some talent.
we'd all like an upgrade. We'd like solanke and muani to be fit.

My hopes are with MuanI who I rate, Solanke is kind of a muchness with Richy if I'm honest. He's probably better but not significantly so. Although Frank might be a able to get that Bournemouth tune out of him.

Richarlson just not good enough. Didnt help at all v Wolves. His hold up play is wiefulnand he spends most of his time on his arse. For a big guy he is weak.
Solanke is better if he ever comes out of the treatment room.
Kolo Muane has caught the Spurs injury virus as soon as he walked into our luxurious training/ treatment facility.

Both Richo and Solanke have been terrible signings for what we paid for them.
