Richarlison

We don’t need another Kane though, we can share his attributes around. We need a striker who can hit 20 goals in a season, nothing more. The link up play, creativity etc can come from wide and the #10. While having a player of Kane’s quality undoubtedly helps, it’s not the be all and end all.

The day any team doesn't need a player like Kane there will be no football.

You misunderstood my point, there are hundreds of teams yet over the last 20 years you can count the number of players with his skill set on 1 hand. But that’s ok, as there are other ways to get those skills onto the pitch by spreading those skills over several players.

You make sound so simple, the evidence of our decline demonstrate that it's not that easy to do.

Whats easier, trying to recreate Kane or being able to sign a player with all of his talents?

OR;

find a striker who can reach 20 goals a season
find some wide forwards/#10 who can play deeper with creativity

I would say recreating an other Kane is virtually impossible, as are signing anyone with his talents because we couldn't afford them and any club who had him would be crazy to sell him, the chances of doing the other two are slightly better but could be the same if we are relegated.
My original point was my thoughts on the way Kane's career here is questioned by our own supporters since he left. We benefited from the best years of his career, he dug us out of plenty of holes and papered over cracks in the team, cost us nothing and we recieved a decent fee from his sale. He wanted to win something and we couldn't do it and i feel he's aware he was part of that failure. I prefer to remember all the wonderful things he did for us and not try to pick holes in his time here.
 
It's hilarious, Haland is an absolute monster/machine, yet the gap to Harry (as the seasons at Bayern have proven) is significant.

As long as we compare who we have to Kane, it will never measure up.
I'm not even comparing to Harland. I'm comparing to what I think is the minimum standard. The guys we have know don't compare to what we've had had in the past not even including Kane.

Which everyone tries
But most fail to do
Look at Liverpool with their recent massive outlay
They are now gonna have to replace Salah too
It’s an ongoing issue because great players are genuinely rarer now imo with the way plauers are being coached to death
 
If only Richy’s first touch was half as good as Tel’s…

if he had half a football brain he'd take two touches
falls when he should stand, shoots when he should pass too
awful player and ever since he joined we've been on a steady decline
don't see what you guys see in him

They like busy work. Why have technique when you can run around a lot to no avail?

At no point. In his time here has he been good enough but the litany of excuses and allowances are numerous. I get the idea that you want to support your players and even a degree of myopicness when it comes to evaluating your own players but jeez, he's been brick for the vast majority of his time here no point lying about it. Got him from a relegation battle and now...we are relegation battlers. 😂😑
