You do know why I brought Kane up, you made a point that our very good defensive record that season was somehow despite a centre back who played 31 times for us in the league, and implied that he only looks good if the team plays well, as if there is such thing as a footballer who looks just as good at all teams regardless of the players around him. In modern football there is not such thing as a top 3 side with an excellent defence and attack that carried any players, if the defensive record is good it’s because all the players defending are good at it, if the attack is good it’s because all the players responsible for attacking at good at it. A better functioning team relies on better functioning players in every position. One weakness and it falls apart.
Firstly, I didn’t say it was in spite of him I just think that goals conceded during a particular season doesn’t prove anything one way or the other about an individual player which brings me to the point you've just made which is completely untrue. 99% of teams carry a few players in relation to the level they are at where if you put them in another side they would be exposed.
