Kane should do just fine, if not excel at his role.

He did join a team of serial winners that create a ton of chances for their forwards, in a gung-ho league that produces a lot more goals per game than the Prem.

Pep obviously wanted him before he went for Haaland instead, he knew Kane would bang them in for fun in his team, which is quite similar to Bayern.

I always thought he would end up at Man Utd back then, ever since his breakout season, seemed the perfect fit.

I always have this theory that you build teams around players. So if you move to a different team you may or may not get the same level of service or understanding. You would think BM would have through that through, but Man Utd didn't when the bought Sancho.

I think Levy is very lucky with Kane. Many players would have done the minimum given how he's been treated. Kane just swallowed being duped by a "gentlemans agreement'. Carried on scoring, assisting and has now gifted Levy £90 million rather than a free.
For Spurs I expect Postecoglou to make the most of what he has. But I doubt that will be top 4 without Kane. Step up Richarlison? I think the potential with him is there, but it has been for a long time without really coming to fruition.

I never understood the attraction of watching other people watching football...

At 4-4 I would suggest both Saints and Norwich have defensive frailties and some attacking venom.

This Caicedo/Lavia drama is ridiculous and not even peaked yet

Lavia wasn't even on the bench today.

Not in the right frame of mind according to his manager, he's just stuck in limbo watching these two cowboy owners duke it out

Liverpool need both players, but so do Chelsea

The match tomorrow is going to be extra spicy

Can't find a market on Lavia, but according to Oddschecker

Caicedo to Chelsea 1.33
Liverpool 5.5

Ye, I think this ends with Liverpool forcing Chelsea to overpay for both players

Can see Caicedo being done tonight, they offered him an 8 year deal apparently

A little embarrassing if Liverpool end up with neither isn't it ?

Probably the Lavia bit, while the Caicedo circus seems to be caused by his dodgy agents

Chelsea had to pull out of the Tyler Adams deal despite medical done (harsh) and had to quickly send Kepa out to afford all this
