Yeah but what's he ever won in the game?Kane comes back as far as CDM to start and link moves, I’ve also seen him put many a ball in from the wide right position!

Apart from the understanding of the game and therefore its quality dramatically improving

But plenty of others do, or should we just ignore those ones to make your point?
Erling Haaland isn't a great footballer in a technical sense?? That's a ludicrous commentTake Haaland, he's not a great footballer in a technical sense but is probably the most feared striker in world football.
Admittedly he does drift but I think that's an instinct, similar to how Rooney played. I don't think for a minute any of Kane's managers have told him to come deep, link the play, drift wide right, drift wide left - I can't be certain but I will be amazed if he's ever started a game on the wing since he became an established footballer. Same with Fergie and Rooney, I'm assuming Fergie wasn't instructing Rooney to track a player back into the full back position ? It's the street footballer in these types of players coming out.

Is finishing, the act of kicking the ball into the goal, not a technical skill in football?No, I don't think it is. He's an elite finisher, I don't think he's an elite technical footballer.

That's all well and good, but you just said he is an elite finisher? So he is elite at a technical skill?Well every individual touch can be described as technical, purely on the basis they are professionals. I've seen Moore (Elliott not Bobby!) control a ball out of the sky, a great technical touch. Would I describe him as technically a great footballer ? No, I wouldn't. Technically great compared to me an you because we aren't professionals, not technically great compared to many of his colleagues or opponents.
Well you've ignored the ones I mentioned to make your point.
Oh so he's just one lucky bastard!! Making runs is not technical skillset, shooting with accuracy is not technical skillset, finding space in penalty areas is not technical skillset. Not pleasing on the eye maybe and agreed he does not have sublime ball skill of Messi or the pace and athletic ability of Ronaldo or the workrate of Kane but to say he is not great technically is frankly absurd.Take Haaland, he's not a great footballer in a technical sense but is probably the most feared striker in world football.

They’re all great players who score goal, but play in different ways. All of them a gifted.OK. Would you say Haaland, bound to be one of the great goal scorers of all time, is as technically gifted as Messi, one of the greatest players of all time ? Would you say Lewandowski, probably the greatest goal scorer of a generation, is as technically gifted as, say, Tierry Henry was ? Which bit don't you get ?
Seems like you mistake technical gift for pure flair.OK.
