Then he is an idiot. Even Pep adjusted his team to accommodate Haaland.
No manager is going to leave out a world class forward just because of their "system". You find a way to fit them into your system.

Either do I but I do suspect Ange would enjoy working with a player of HK's elite ability and finding ways get the best out of him in the Ange system.
I think the OTHER nagging question is how does THOMAS TUCHEL like to use strikers in his formation...
Here's a few brief words from our friends over at BUNDESLIGA.....
Happy reading folks, see you in October....

So that clears that up in a nice, consise, snappy way I think!
Football gone WAY too wordy!
I like my strikers to score goals.
THE END!

Tactical giant Thomas Tuchel ready to mix it up at Bayern Munich
Bayern Munich's new coach, Thomas Tuchel, has taken to the training ground at Säbener Straße with plenty of his characteristic high-energy and enthusiasm already on show.

If Kane stays I think it would be an uneasy relationship with Postecoglou. If Kane drifts up field too much Postecoglou wouldn't be happy and if Postecoglou asks Kane to stay buried low in the box to occupy two defenders I don't think he'll be pleased, either. Kane can score headers and do the things Postecoglou would want him to, but he also needs some room to work. If they could manage to work out an understanding and Kane is still a threat while Postecoglou's system can still work that would be great. I guess we'll see if Kane stays, but my guess is Postecoglou and Levy want to start the rebuild without him.
The part of Kane's game Postecoglou would probably not like is the idea of Kane getting the ball from a pass and turning to score. There was a joke about Michael Jordan's college coach that said he was a genius because he was the only man who could hold Jordan to less than 20 points a game. I have a feeling Kane's scoring opportunities would be reduced in Postecoglou's system.IMO he likes a striker who is relatively quick, aggressively presses, runs into space/behind defenders and can one touch finish low crosses.

FFS.
I hate you already.
I agree, Kane is such a good player that Ange (and any decent coach) would find a way to fit him in.
Yeah I agree, it seems a bit complicated. I kind of think Ange wouldn't be too bothered if he left.
In saying that, it would be a shame as at his previous teams he'd always had a leadership player that had some kinda affinity/core values from within the club. Eg. Cahill & Jedinak (Australia), Kida (Yokohama) & McGregor (Celtic).
Tbh I don't know too much about the squad but maybe Son could fill that role if Kane isn't around?
That's a good point. Given that he was hurt all last season I could see Son coming back with a much better year. It would seem natural for Son to become the face of the franchise if Kane leaves and Postecoglou has commented that he knew a lot about Son since he is from the Pacific. You get the feeling there is a degree of respect there that would be a positive thing. In an odd way I could see Postecoglou viewing Kane's dominant role at the franchise as being a little bit of an obstacle as he tries to rebuild the team. If I had to guess, I think Kane would be more interested in staying than Postecoglou would be interested in keeping him.

Just let him picket. 
So....an Ange supporter basically....IMO he likes a striker who is relatively quick, aggressively presses, runs into space/behind defenders and can one touch finish low crosses.

Imagine saying "Harry, I know you're the all time scorer in club history and staring down Shearer's record with a bag full of golden boots and all.....but the Greek-Aussie bloke won the Scottish Prem with fucking Celtic!"
There are plenty of them, which ought to tell you something.
His teams play great football.
I'll be watching Son closely in the Shakhtar game.
I'm not sure Ange system suits Son, he's never been a player that feels comfortable in a crowded space. Given how many players we are committing forward he's going to have less space to operate in. Let's see how he adapts.

Yeah when's the last time he's driven to the byline and delivered a cross? Must've been literal years.
Also his usual tactic of cutting inside to shoot is more difficult as we will be committing 2 no. 8s forward into that space plus 2 inverted full backs in the central region.
Other teams will recognise this and pad out the central areas, it's going to be a minefield in the middle of the park.
He needs to stop trying to beat his man 1v1 in order to come inside on his right.
Get to the line and cross ball into the box or work on the linkup play with Udogie/Maddison to sends you in.
And whatever he does. Do it quick
