    I respect your opinion but for me the reason he plays sideways & backwards passes is simply because of the lack of other options , he would always try to complete a pass & sometimes there was a lack of movement in front of him & had to complete the short pass rather than take speculative punts up the field thus relying on players hopefully making the runs , you can look pretty stupid if players do not work hard off the ball & find the space . I am not sure if you were watching the reds in the eighties but Ray McHale was a player who sometimes used to get stick for getting caught in possession but it was simply because he was a footballer who always looked to pass the ball & would not simply kick it anywhere , he was a cracking player with excellent vision , whilst I am not suggesting that Kane is anywhere near the class that McHale was I can certainly see similarities in their styles & qualities .

    I respect your opinion too. I was indeed watching the Reds in the 80s and for quite a long while before that. I remember McHale very well, and I agree that Kane's style is in some ways reminiscent of his. Kane, like McHale, rarely loses the ball, and, unfortunately for him, he does not have a Ronnie Glavin or Ian Banks to pass to. McHale often supplied Glavin with the ball which would enable Ronnie to charge forward and wreak havoc.

    There is zero chance of us paying £1m for anyone while we’re in League One.
