Harry Kane

[mccity]

He's old school. I'm not sure he'd fit the way we play. As we've seen with Aguero you really need to have a good touch if Pep's going to like you. I rate Kane highly though nonetheless.



I fully expect United to ditch Lukaku for this guy within the next 3 years.

 

[citytill1die84]

Yep I'd take Kane in a heartbeat if Spurs keep struggling in Champions League and keep selling players I see him wanting to leave.

 

[super_city_si]

One thing I noticed with Kane was that his shooting is so accurate (from open play). He nearly always puts his shot on goal. Sergio used to be the same but his shooting has gone to shit.

 

[Airbags Optional]

Said it before he is one of the luckiest players around, he never looks in control of the ball, BUT he knows how to score and his attacking positional play is fabulous. Not right for us though

 

[Barcon]

Can't knock his goal scoring but I have a feeling that he won't do much this season.

 

[Manchester_lalala]

Works hard, scores goals. Perfect striker for the prem.

 

[BlueHammer85]

I think he is bang average, can't knock the goal tally. If he does it again this year I will acknowledge him?

'Bang average'

Haha

 

[BlueHammer85]

I remember when Gullit took over at Newcastle and didn't rate Shearer. Kane, like Shearer to some extent, doesn't seem to do anything especially well but he bloody knows where the goal is. He doesn't seem to have great pace, dribbling skills or technique but his record is superb so far.

Agree, think he's the closest striker since Shearer

And well done to him saying this :

“I don’t think anyone who says that understands what it takes,” he said. “It’s probably why they’re sitting at home watching and we’re out there playing. I’m extremely proud to represent my country and I know the other players are.

“It takes a lot of commitment to reach the top. You need to start from a young age, show dedication and you have to be a top professional to play for your country.

 

[foggy1974]

How often do Spurs play against 6/7 men defensive teams. He has a great strike rate at Spurs but just look at the treatment Walker got on his debut compared to 200 games he played else where.

 

[caseball]

you have to be a top professional to play for your country.

Or Phil Jones

Says what?

Or a Maltese postman

Footballers come out with some right old crap and people suck it up without question.

 

[caseball]

Harry Kane reckons he plays for England because he's a top professional. Or is that a top, top professional who's had a more complicated route to the top than a lot of others. Well done Harry. You're a top, top footballer. For England. Well done. Good for you. Yawn.

 

[caseball]

It's us and them really innit Harry? Us on the pitch giving our all for the Motherland, and them at home watching on telly in their hundreds. Bit like the Vietnam War. Without the stress like, eh Harry. Alan Ball, in a squeaky, yet unmistakably ethereal, voice says, 'Show us your facking medal,' in a mocking Cockney accent.

 

[cucumberman]

I rate him, but he's too tall for a Pep team.

Says what?

Replying to the usual abuse from England fans.

Doesn't matter if we won 4-0,8-0,15-0 ... still be labelled as 'Shit' and 'it was only (insert country)

What people forget is this is a new manager and a new batch of young players yet the abuse carries over - look at the media and fan abuse of Sterling ... a young player, clearly giving 100% yet fans can't wait to jump on him.

Social media has made things a lot worse. No England team will escape abuse unless they win a major tournament - which is incredibly tough.

English football team is shit. Just look at the difference when you watch Germany, France, Spain, Italy. We are absolutely miles behind technically. We'd be better off fucking off trying to be clever and play long ball with vardy and Kane up top.

Somewhere along the line we are failing at creating technically sound players and a system to suit. Until this is addressed, like Belgium did, we will always be shit.

I do agree with you about the media though. The national team will always be on to a loser with them as they build them up beyond all rationality and they crucify when they fail to reach the unrealistic expectations.

Constructive criticism is fine but the media feeds off the fans and the 'fans' don't want England to achieve - even when we do play well and win it's just glossed over.
