The problem is everything I've seen and read shows that he struggles massively to link up play and hold the ball up.

Massive red flag because we need someone who can do those things.

Otherwise we might as well go for a quick forward who can at least get in behind teams off the shoulder.

We can't afford to have someone who can't hold the ball up/link play and yet also has no speed qualities to offer a threat in behind...
This is what worries me. Kane has so brilliant for us not just because he's a clinical finisher, but because he can create chances for himself and has a brilliant all-round game.

We need a striker who can do more than finish.

Jesus, this place sometimes...

New signing, thats not signed yet but might sign, written off after watching 60 minutes of a SHIT AC Milan team.
It gives an impression. And if he`s not good enough to be a tough and dangerous attacking opponnent against Torino, he`s not good enough for a top 4 team in PL.

This ain't going to go down well, I'd rather have Giroud if he's willing to come
I’ve always been a fan of Giroud, and think he was a very good player (although not necessarily anymore), but have become very keen on the idea of a 24-year old who may yet develop coming in as part of the rebuild. I think Piatek is our man.

Milan have been poor all season in terms of creating, they have Suso , Canhalogu and Paqueta bought in for the creative midfield AM maestros, yet theyve been so poor those guys are not starting at all or very rarely, Piatek is a fox in the box and didnt have any service, Rebic is very ball greedy although can have flashes, poor end product in general in terms of final ball or hogging too much. Piatek seemed to be forced to come out of position to try and find the ball and to help but then is dragged away from his position although final ball is rarely that good bar hernandez ... Its a conundrum with him, poor form and low confidence is not ideally what we need although he has some great attributes.... I dunno why but in a way i want wout wergost but anyway we will see

An impression yes...

And if anyone had seen Eriksen lately, you'd never believe he scored 69 goals with 89 assists in 309 games.

Perspective.

Not greatly to be fair, not in one match. If you watched Kane for the first time in some of his matches with us before he got injured you wouldn't think anything of him at all yet that's because we were shit in supplying him, obviously not because he's a bad player.

Well, lets see when (if) he comes. I think he`s too weak and unskilled for PL. AC Milan (not a great team anymore) don`t want him to play for them in Serie A.. Not good enough for us then. I feel pretty sure.

NB! Yes, I realise I`m taking a risk by writing those words and shamefully might have to eat those words one day..
