Cause he never be a regular Striker, never the main man in the attack. Never be remember as great player.

That`s why, that i said he doesn`t have that something special and never ever will become great player.

 

Well if you can see into the future then who am I to argue. Fun fact tho that's what people probably said about Drogba and Kante when they were playing with Ligue 2. Drogba bloomed when he was 25, he almost became an accountant.

Even Aubameyang wasn't as prolific 2 years ago and now he outscored Lewandowski.

Lewandowski was basically an unknown player until that 1 night against Real.

There's absolutely no way they gonna sell us kane 

Milan fans never believed Juventus will sell Bonucci to them

Levy wouldnt sell us the steam from his piss for 75 mill

He can keep him then. Kane isn't' Messi!

Different set of circumstances my friend. Juve is a club that allows their players to leave it's a self-sustaining business model for them. Their revolving door policy makes it easier for players to prove their worth playing under a good system whilst at the same time know that they can leave anytime if another club comes calling

Our best hope is for Spurs to fail to qualify for the CL next season, even then if he did leave I'd be surprised if Real Madrid weren't in for him.

Nah, not flashy enough for Madrid. Kane is effective but doesn't give you the impression of elite footballer. Madrid tend to sign players that has marketing potential. Kane is rustic and can be homely to some

And benzema has marketing potential, who's got a benzema shirt?

That's the €65m question...and if he doesn't he'll be 30 next year with no resale value...

He'll be 29 next year. He has only recently turned 28. And i'm sure the club wouldn't care about resale value if he is a success for 5 or 6 season's.

Benzema was highly rated back before he signed for Real. It's safe to say that he sacrificed his chances to be in the limelight for Ronaldo. Benzema links the best with Ronaldo than anyone else.

That's a bit of a stretch, I mean he was ok, but even Oscar Pistorius would link up well with Ronaldo

Not sure just met you but I can definitely see you have the potential. 

Harry Kane is 23, he will score 30 goals next season, in 2 or 3 years if he keeps going like this he will be one of the top strikers in the World, he is English, PL experience and you would get 10 years out of him, or 5 and resell him for a stupidly high fee.

 Messi is 30 years old, I don't believe would score 20 goals in the PL and he will be done in 3 years, he is small and not very hardy, I think the physicality of the PL at 30 would seriously inhibit his abilities, he has never scored into Chelsea for that reason. Plus we already have hazard who fills any roll Messi could play , so yes I would, for our team take Harry Kane who is a perfect fit for Chelsea over Messi today, only plus Messi has for me over Kane is commercial value, maybe better to ask someone their reasons before making a cheeky comment, especially when you haven't really thought about it.

I'll agree with you on this Don Antonio. Messi is still awesome, but he is on the wrong side of the hill and would be less use to us than Kane. 

Literally 0% chance of us getting him though, even with a ludicrous world record bid.

Am I crazy to think Conte rates Abraham highly, and the plan is to feature him in 2-3 seasons or so?

Messi wouldn't score 20 goals in the premier league? It's a hypothetical and no one will ever be able to prove each other wrong unless he moves, but I think that's pretty ridiculous. I mean yes Messi hasn't scored against us. But how many goals has he scored against Arsenal for example? 

If we played Messi as our central striker I personally feel he'd hit 35 goals in a premier league season. It's total dreamland us getting either him or Kane though.

Arsenal aren't a physical team, there is not a chance he would score 35 goals no way no how, it is as you said hypothetical but he can't score into physical teams, couldnt score into Iran until injury time, if we played him as a central striker, which he can't play as, so lets say a false 9, hazard who is way more physical gets 15 goals, in a false 9 hazard would do 20, you think he is 15 goals better than hazard? He would get doubled up on and bullied, not a chance he scored 35 in the PL at 30 years old.

Of course not, but someone suggested Kane as a target and when told no chance they sell to us, said so what if we couldn't get him he isn't Messi, point being the implication was Messi would be a million miles better as a signing, and I was merely saying I'd have kane over Messi, for chelsea, today, and I really would as you said Kane would be far more use to us.

Nope, I have a feeling if Conte stays at realm that is the plan. I remember last year, Conte said he rated Abraham. So if Conte signs an extension and doesn't get fired, I actually believe Abraham may well be our first youth product. Well as long as he improves

Exactly what I thought.  This theory would make the PEA signing make sense.

Don't mean to be pedantic but we signed Zola at 30 ;)

Will never happen so it's a moot point but i think Messi would have a field day in the PL, as it stands Spurs are only team with a great defense (save for the 13 game run, we were conceding over 1 a game).

If he does well at Swansea he could be back to the first team next season nevermind 3

No problem signing a player at 30 if I've brings benifit but I'd rather sign a 23 year old if both were very expensive. 

Its hypothetical of course but I don't think he would do well in the PL he would still score he is a brilliant brilliant player but harry Kane would score more goals in our team than he would, who would you pick today for our team Kane or messi ?

Messi, ill explain my reasoning in detail when im less smashed 

Aubameyang is the only striker option left for the club who can do a job at a high level and most importantly is the cheapest option amongst Morata, Belotti and himself.  

Whether the board will sanction a 65 milllion pound deal to buy Aubameyang is the big question and will also influence Conte on signing his contract extension or not.  If the board wants to preserve the Torres transfer as the absolute ceiling in terms of transfer fees paid, god help us.

Only masochists would want a Benteke or a Llorente leading the line next season.
