Probably because he's only ever been involved in cycling, and the sport, including his team, have been taking doping to whole new levels.Why?

There aren't any strikers at a similar level to Kane. Also, what is the point in targeting a number 8? We have a young player in Mainoo who is crying out for a DM next to him. We need a huge overhaul and should be targeting players in every single position.

MbappeOsimhen?
Good player and arguably the best available. Not close to Kane though in my view.Osimhen?
I think we need a midfielder who can control a game more than anything else, in fact, we’ve needed that for over a decade.There aren't any strikers at a similar level to Kane.

In terms of goalscoring yes. They are vastly different types of strikers though.The only striker close to Kane is Haaland.
Might be available in the 2026 January transfer window if justice prevails against cityThe only striker close to Kane is Haaland.
I'd like to see us free Mainoo up slightly and allow him to be more influential. De Jong style. Get a DM beside him and you have a proper base. Even better still if we can field a third midfielder, as opposed to whatever we are currently doing.I think we need a midfielder who can control a game more than anything else, in fact, we’ve needed that for over a decade.
I was desperate for Thuram. Everyone laughed at me for that and yet I thought it was a no brainer. He could play in 2 positions and he was free. Look at him now. He scored 8 goals and made 7 assists in 20 Serie A games.All out for Isak.
NaturallyMbappe
We should have been in for him before the Geordies got him, he’s class but I don’t see it happening now.All out for Isak.
Seire A is always a lottery. Remember when piatek and belotti were amazing there.I was desperate for Thuram. Everyone laughed at me for that and yet I thought it was a no brainer.

We have a manager who does not know how to coach an attacking game. Whoever we buy for our attack won’t improve anything.Isak and Toney would dramatically improve our frontline. Cole and Yorke vibes also.
So pretty much the same as this summer then?Tweet

That's true, imagine how dependant on Kane's solo goals we'd be if we had got him in the summer?We have a manager who does not know how to coach an attacking game. Whoever we buy for our attack won’t improve anything.
DM instead of Casimiro ?Tweet

Are we sure that is the case? Or do we have empowered players like Rashford who for one reason or another think they are above the manager.We have a manager who does not know how to coach an attacking game. Whoever we buy for our attack won’t improve anything.
It's refreshing and odd to see our owner so visible, I hope he keeps this up. Are the Glazers even real?Tweet

Three potential strikers tbh. Mbappe (not happening), Osimhen and Lautaro Martinez. Lautaro is arguably the most versatile one. He also has the best stats of the two in terms of both creating and shots to goal ratios (in the same league) - which matches Harry Kane's output. His passing is significantly better and he is a signficantly better dribbler than Osimhen, and his numbers this season match Kane.
I badly wanted Piatek.... His career went nowhere after he left Milan though. A damn shame.Seire A is always a lottery. Remember when piatek and belotti were amazing there.

Mbappé would play on the left, so in theory I don't see how he negates Hojlund or any center forward.We need an experienced older striker for Hojlund to watch and learn from. Lewandowski would have been perfect for a season or two. Osiman and Mbappe will negate having Hojlund, so another £70 mill down the drain.
Great to see.
Lautaro's a very good player, but he's at his best when partnered with another striker.Incredibly overrated.
Why aren't you a fan of 2 strikers then?Lautaro's a very good player, but he's at his best when partnered with another striker.
So we'd have to partner him and Hojlund together. Personally not a fan of systems that utilize 2 strikers together nowadays.
Any info about what exactly was discussed?
Personally think it limits how great a team can be in today's game. Most of the best teams over the past decade employed 1 striker and 2 forwards from the flanks.Why aren't you a fan of 2 strikers then?
