As a matter of fact, Sanchez scored 24 and assisted 11 in the Premier League in 16/17.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
Doesn't matter. Kane doesn't need a midfield.
Absolutely, and Pogba isn't that player from deeper, because defensively he isn't good enough. So you either buy for the role in question or promote from within, with a view to developing the player for the role.
I'm saying it is pointless to compare Werner with Haaland, who is a player of an entirely different calibre. Also, I am saying that the fact PL is a better league than the BL does not mean that you can assume a player who performed well in the Bundesliga would perform less well in the PL. There are many, many examples to the contrary.
Haaland has outperformed not just Kane, but everyone else in the CL. It took Kane 24 CL games to reach 20 goals, which was a record at the time. Haaland has 24 goals in his first 20 CL games. After 20 European outings, Kylian Mbappé had scored 12 goals, Lionel Messi eight, Robert Lewandowski six and Cristiano Ronaldo just one.
So, sorry, but if you think of Haaland as some sort of unfinished super prospect while Kane is polished finished product, that's just wrong. Haaland is a world class player, right now. As far as scoring is concerned, he is way ahead of what any other active player was at the same age. Messi and Ronaldo included. And he is also probably ahead of any other player save Lewandowski if you don't take age into concern. "Not there yet"? If outscoring everyone in the history of the CL isn't being there yet, what is?
Now, as pointed out, football is more than goal scoring, otherwise this wouldn't even be an issue. But there's just no way you can build any sort of reasonable case that Kane is clearly a better player than Haaland at this point. Close enough to argue one way or the other, yes. But not more than that.
I didn't realise getting CL goals = best player.
How many 90 minutes of Dortmund have you watched to judge that?
Have you ever heard of something called purple patch? Just because Haaland has done it for 18 months doesn't mean he is the finished product.
So are you also trying to say because he done it quicker than the ones mentioned he is better than Mbappe, Messi, Ronaldo?
If so, you are deluded.
Now you're just being absurd. If you've nothing better to contribute than twisting arguments into strawmen, then don't bother.
The Times and The Guardian both going with Kane to City story, I'd be inclined to agree.
We're after Ings instead, that'll teach them.
Kane is a very good player, a great one even. But his injuries and age are not that great, besides his price would be over 100M.
if kane goes to city they will crush it next season
Great isn’t it, they’ll stroll to the title next season.
Well you're the one saying Haaland is better because he has more CL goals.
Just pointing out the levels of hypocrisy
Kane to United. Lukaku to Chelsea. Makes most sense to me.
I think Kane would be shocked at the abuse and concentrated media campaign he would be subjected to if he went to Chelsea. It won’t sit well with a lot of people.

Was obvious from the start. Only one English team guarantees trophies.
No, that is not what I'm saying. As you'd well know, if you stopped to read and think.
As Spurs supporter I just don’t see it happening this summer. I think this is one of those where the groundwork is getting set up for something next year because the deal is so big.
I don’t really see Kane kicking up a fuss as he’s a supporter of the club and I don’t see Levy selling to any rivals (the Chelsea links are genuinely laughable) I also don’t see Levy selling for a penny less than 120 million which I think is a price point that’s going to mean the deal can’t really get done this year. There’s not really enough pressure on the club to sell really with Kane still having several years left on his contract and the fact that he won’t be kicking up a fuss.
It sucks as a Spurs supporter but ultimately I understand it. I’ll just have to enjoy the time with him that we’ve got left.

So, let me get this straight, this Spurs fan is legit requesting to loan out their club talisman, Harry Kane, to the current champions of the league they are trying to win?
I just, I mean... Wut?
I'm just spitballing here, but how likely is it that this Alasdair Gold guy is a just bitter Arsenal fan on a massive Wum?
If City do plan on talking to Spurs, it's because they are willing to pay big. My guess is they will use players to get the cash payments to around £100m.
Well, apparently they are planning to hold talks.
It's not unthinkable that we could raise 120 m, with 85m reportedly being made available from the owners, plus expected sales. But then there wouldn't be a lot of other signings getting done.
This rarely happens. It's more likely that the sale of Kane will have them permanently in the Europa League.
We have Jesse as a wildcard. But the problem is, are Spurs interested in him?
Is Kane better than peak Aguero?
It's not like Kane is a pace merchant, he could go on longer, though given his injury record you're probably correct.
Only way I could see United being players here is if a deal could include Martial and Lingard. Getting those two plus £45-50m to spend on two defenders wouldn't be the worst outcome for them
Looks a dead cert to go to City, I think.
There’s a real boom bust thing going on here with Lingard. He plays like a drain for two years and then after a very good half season loan people are thinking ‘Jesse is our wildcard to allow us to buy Spurs’ captain and best player’.
Regret not bringing players like Zlatan and Cavani when they were younger, we still have a chance to bring Kane in while he's in his prime - these opportunities don't come often. I hope we sign him.
They'd be mad not to be, he's an award winning attacking superstar.
Hope Spurs fall for it
Also wasn't it in January that Spurs were looking to take Lingard if they can shift out Dele?
Yep. People forget that was really got spurs back on track after losing Bale was Kane turning into a WC striker
It's very, very hard for clubs of that level to replace such a transformative player. Spurs have every reason to want to hold onto him as far as they can

What is even funnier is a lot of these players I sometimes forgot they even played for Spurs. When you compare their achievement after they left Spurs, it shows how irrelevant and insignificant Spurs was probably to them during their tenure there. Not sure why any top players would even want to waste their peak years at Spurs. Kane should have left 3 years ago and I hope Son follows suit. Would be a shame if Asia's best player waste his best years at Spurs.
Spurs fans were certain they'd upgraded Carrick with Zokora

They call that the triple crown of football.
Emotional farewell with the home crowd. He gone.
That was a long, lonely, tearful applause for the home fans. In his head, he's gone.
Agree with that, Pogba for whatever reason can't play this role for us. He's best as a playmaker further forward, he usually always spends a second or two more than I'd like on the ball.
Wants out, now to see if Levy will stick to his word
He's given everything for them. Levy won't stand in his way this time.
