Since 2019, Haaland has got 57 goals in 59 appearances for both Salzburg and Dortmund.
Kane in the same period has 57 goals in 83 appearances for Spurs
—
Goals in the premier league are worth 3 times goals in the German league so kane actually has over 160. Plus diving to win pens then converting them is worth 4 times as you have to con var too. So he’s at around 200 to Haaland s 57.
1m per goal. Sounds fair.

If Haaland is 140-150m as rumoured, no way is Kane more than 125m. He is older, more injury prone and if he is ever going to win something the next move is his only chance. Haaland has time on his side and worth more.
Levy may want to keep Kane, and has the right to do so, whether the striker wants to stay and will fully commit may be another matter. Spurs have clearly indicated their ambition, or lack thereof, and Kane will judge for himself once the Benfica players start arriving.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
What has Haaland done, that makes him better currently than Kane? Stop keep peddling the injury prone nonsense. Haaland has had one decent season, Kane has had half a dozen decent seasons, and is absolutely proven in the Prem.
Haaland as it stands is not worth more than 80 million, and then you are taking an almighty risk buying at that price.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Pathetic
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Leave him, he didn't mention Kane once during the Euros for the first 3 matches, then Kane scored in two matches, and Sandy was adding 50 million to his 150 million tag, and after the final, he didnt mention him again. No sure why people still waste any time on that senile wum.

Actually not far off in terms of what you wrote though. If we can get Varane over the line we definitely still need to address the midfield.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
To be fair, I don't think it's a bad prediction to say you'd finish 4th. Even with Sancho, Varane and a better holding midfielder, do you still believe you're better than City, Liverpool and Chelsea?
I think all 3 are still better personally, but admittedly it's going to be much closer between the top 4 this season I'd imagine so any of them could finish in any order.

City are better, Liverpool if they can shake off last season are better, not sure there's a whole lot in it with Chelsea at the moment but they will definitely be a lot stronger and have a much more experienced manager. The prediction is pretty fair imo.

Sancho and Varane gets us very close if not ahead of Liverpool for me. Obviously will depend on who they sign now. Konate is a decent player but may not even be first choice.
Yeah they will be better with VVD back no doubt. But Varane next to Maguire makes us much much better too at the back.

It gets you closer obviously, but not ahead for me. United's goalkeeper situation is still an issue for me and I'm not sure if you can consistently rely on Cavani this season and outside of that, I'm not sure who else United can rely on after Cavani to get the goals.
You also lack a truly top quality holding midfielder as well. I don't think McTominay is a bad player, I find Fred pretty inconsistent, but either of them on their own with a midfield of Pogba and Fernandes would not be solid for me and I could see either of them starting becoming exposed significantly in games.
If Werner actually starts hitting the target they have hell of striker on their hands.
Don't think our keepers made that many howlers last season. DDG did the year before but last season he didn't make that many at all.
Liverpool's team isn't perfect. Firmino doesn't score enough goals, Mane seemed to lose his mojo a lot last season and Thiago signing has worked at all. They also lost Wjinaldum which I think is a bigger miss than being talked about.
Their defence is excellent though so if they stay for they will do well. And they of course have Salah.
Don't think there's much to choose this season. However we haven't signed Varane yet so there's that sticking point. If we get him I expect us to challenge all the way to the end. Lindelof is such a weak link in our team.

As things stand, United’s is probably still the third or fourth strongest squad in the league.
They’re better midfield and defensive options, at least, away from being in a position from which you’d expect a title challenge.
Squad-wise, it’s City, then Chelsea, then Utd/Liverpool.

True your goalkeepers didn't make many mistakes but I just think there in uncertainty in that position really. It's probably the only position on the pitch where you want a true No.1 and then a squad goalkeeper and I don't think United have that. Having strength in depth in goal is good, but it's probably the only position on the pitch where it's probably more of a detriment to have two good goalkeepers.
Firmino has been poor for a couple of seasons now in general, although he (like the team) picked up in the last 10 games of the season and knocked a few in actually. Thiago was outstanding as well in the last dozen games of the season, it was merely just a poor start. But he's been winning plenty of plaudits for his performances during the back end of last season and rightly so. To say his transfer hasn't worked (presumed you meant that given the context of the sentence) isn't accurate imo.
Losing Wijnaldum is a blow, but I think the club are prepared for that. A midfield three of Fabinho, Henderson and Thiago is one of the strongest in Europe right now and with Jones coming through as well, it looks promising. There is still the experience of Milner if needs be and if Keita and Ox will ever become fit, the midfield is strong. Although, due to the latter two's injury issues, another midfield is necessary to bolster the depth.
I agree United are not far behind though should Varane be signed, but I still think they are just behind the other three at the moment. But the margin is certainly much smaller than in recent years, on paper at least anyway.
City need a striker of course to replace Aguero. If I was them I feel like going all out for Mbappe would be a good option but they’re not really linked with him. I know he had a decent end to season for club and country but I still don’t rate Zinchenko that highly along with Mendy, maybe being ruthless they could get a high level, dynamic LB in to match Cancelo and Walker on the right side.
United have slowly been building a pretty good XI/squad. Sancho signing is annoying as they have literally got one of the elite young players in Europe right now. A good DM, a top Cb next to Maguire and maybe a new manager would see them very well set to challenge.
Liverpool have finally sorted out their CB issues perhaps with Konate although he has his own injuries. But next season is still going to be heavy on player’s fitness and dunno still feel like their squad depth doesn’t represent that.
Leicester have been making some low-key good signings but still need to prepare, in my opinion, for the eventual decline of Vardy. He won’t go on forever. Even last season in a way they were ‘lucky’ Iheanacho came into form when Vardy wasn’t.
Leicester have signed Daka haven't they? He looks like a Vardy replacement to me.

This season at best
City - Desperately need a new striker, Jesus isn't good enough.
United - Need a proper defensive midfielder, a right back that can attack. Sancho will help.
Liverpool - A Wijnaldum replacement, luck on the injury front and potentially a striker.
Chelsea - I'm think they could do with a top class CB and a finisher. If they get Haaland, good night to the rest of the league.
Leicester - Hard to see how they can improve much being at the level they are but LB, RW and CM would be areas i would look at.
West Ham United - They only have about 3 midfielders so they need reinforcements there, on the wing, up front, across the defence, keeper. How the fook did they finish 6th actually
Spurs - Ings would be an exciting move, they need CBs. Depends on how Nuno will set up what else they need to prioritise imo.
Arsenal - New manager would be the best place to start. Then GK, CB, CM and RW.
Predictions at this stage.
1st Liverpool
2nd Chelsea
3rd Manchester City
4th Manchester United
5th Leicester City
6th Tottenham Hotspur

This..Daka does seem very highly rated and a good signing, but you’d probably expect 1-2 years for him to settle in coming from the Austrian league. Absolutely fine for a longer term Vardy replacement but I think the best thing they could’ve done is get an established top level striker to also prepare for short term

If they believe Iheanacho has developed a new sense of life in his career then that might be their short term option. He did have a very good end to last season.
Minamino has taken time to adapt to the PL, he still isn't even there yet. Depending on how much Daka is used, you could see a similar scenario.

It might take some time for him to settle in first and who knows how long Vardy has left at this point as well.

This season at best

City - Desperately need a new striker, Jesus isn't good enough.
United - Need a proper defensive midfielder, a right back that can attack. Sancho will help.
Liverpool - A Wijnaldum replacement, luck on the injury front and potentially a striker.
Chelsea - I'm think they could do with a top class CB and a finisher. If they get Haaland, good night to the rest of the league.
Leicester - Hard to see how they can improve much being at the level they are but LB, RW and CM would be areas i would look at.
West Ham United - They only have about 3 midfielders so they need reinforcements there, on the wing, up front, across the defence, keeper. How the fook did they finish 6th actually
Spurs - Ings would be an exciting move, they need CBs. Depends on how Nuno will set up what else they need to prioritise imo.
Arsenal - New manager would be the best place to start. Then GK, CB, CM and RW.
Predictions at this stage.
1st Liverpool
2nd Chelsea
3rd Manchester City
4th Manchester United
5th Leicester City
6th Tottenham Hotspur
7th Everton
8th West Ham

This..Daka does seem very highly rated and a good signing, but you’d probably expect 1-2 years for him to settle in coming from the Austrian league. Absolutely fine for a longer term Vardy replacement but I think the best thing they could’ve done is get an established top level striker to also prepare for short term

If they believe Iheanacho has developed a new sense of life in his career then that might be their short term option. He did have a very good end to last season.
Minamino has taken time to adapt to the PL, he still isn't even there yet. Depending on how much Daka is used, you could see a similar scenario.
