Way things are going at Spuds, I have a bad feeling Kane will end up pushing for a move to another PL club. And I think there’s only 1 club he could go to that Levy would reluctantly agree to which is United.

Kane to United and Haaland to City would be a BIG yikes.

Fulham should stick with Scott Parker as this data shows

102x102DanZeqiri.png

By Daniel Zeqiri

Fulham are running out of games to avoid relegation but regardless of their fate this season the stock of head coach Scott Parker has undoubtedly risen.

Their recruitment in the summer transfer window was shrewd, making Fulham a far more competitive Premier League outfit than many expected.

Remember, there were gloomy predictions of Fulham not matching Derby County's lowest-ever Premier League points tally of 11 after they were stuffed by Arsenal on the opening day.

Pep Guardiola once said a coach's job was to get their team into the final third as frequently as possible, from where the intuition of individual players takes over. By this measurement, Parker has done some fine work considering the level of talent at his disposal.

Much has been made of Brighton's profligacy, but Fulham have actually suffered the biggest underperformance relative to expected goals in the league. The difference between their 35.9 expected goals, just behind Everton, and their 24 goals scored is the biggest in the division. Their xG tally is higher than Burnley, Southampton, Wolves and Crystal Palace.

In this week's Football Nerd, I ask whether that is down to misfortune or if we should expect relegation-threatened sides to miss more chances than those at the top.

I can see Kane going to City rather. Fits Guardiola's style better than Haaland and is more affordable. Really hope he goes abroad tho.

I think they’d be about the same price, actually. English tax + long contract. And I can never see Kane leaving the PL. Think he wants to break Shearer’s record and should easily do so if he moves to one of the Manchester clubs.

Just wonder who we’d go for if both Kane & Haaland are off to our rivals. We’d have to go big just to compete with those teams next season and Tuchel just today said that that’s the goal from day 1 next season. Lukaku seems happy at Inter and tbh why leave a situation where you’re going to win the league and are treated like a king? 
 

Not many world class strikers available. Aguero as a stopgap and pray he stays fit doesn’t sound like something a club targeting the PL title does.

I actually feel a bit sorry for Kane.

Great to be loyal and all that, but there comes a time when he must accept time is running out for his chances of winning the major trophies and move on from that shower of shite.

Its a disaster for them to not be top four after Liverpool being dire, us changing manager and having strikers who couldn't score in a brothel and Arsenal being as bad as ever. Fred Flintstone is finished as a top manager!

We could challenge without a Kane or Haaland, if the following happens.

We get Agueto and he stays fit. Werner improves to about a decent, average level. Tammy stays fit and chips in with a dozen or so. Puli stays fit and plays like we know he can. Kai starts to be more consistent. CHO improves on his end product.  Yes, a number of ifs there, but all very possible.

What is wrong with his end product?

5 goals 5 assists this season in 1753 minutes. Goal or assist in every 175 minutes. In his Chelsea career overall goal or assist in every 154 mins. 

Around year younger than James, almost 2 years younger than Mount. Great vision, dribbling, pace... For me by far most exciting player from our academy. Why most people do not like him? Is it because transfer request in Sarri season? I am afraid if we ever have another KDB, Salah situation it is going to be him.
