International news, broseph.
Where do I tune in to that Brer LH? We can do International news you know, but in Britain, national news is the the thing. Sometimes the rest of the world can just fuck off. Unless you're telling me that this was reported on US news?

We have hit the jackpot again. After Poch (a likeable/professional with the press/attacking minded/believer in youngsters coach), we have a marketing dream in Harry Kane.
He is definitely one of the most likeable players in recent times to rise up into the spotlight. There's this weird feeling of nostalgia and good old times about him which combining with his "Roy of the Rovers" image makes him a marketing dream. And dare I say his good looks (squint your eyes and he looks like Ryan Gosling!) is also going to be a huge factor! You could feel the buzz around Wembley when he about to come on which is absolutely incredible!
We sell him, we lose our one of our biggest chances to hit big time in terms of marketing Spurs. Selling Bale was a monumental cockup more than just in terms of football as he was also quite marketable. With Kane it is the same. He is a Spurs boy. He came up through the club. He's as English as it gets. If we sell him in the next 6-7 years, we have officially given up. And to be honest, Levy will not sell him unless Harry forces a move, no matter how much money is on offer. So I think Harry is going to be here for a while.
The problem is, teams like Madrid don't only go after good players, but also players with high marketable images. So I am sure they will try hard to get him. Hopefully he resists the temptation to join a team where his only job is to polish Ronaldo's knob and get his car kicked by passionate supporters who are totally not idiots.
Don't worry they already have.OMG it's all fitting into place... Hide Kane quick before Marca does an article on him
It was an exaggeration of sorts but you cannot deny that once a player moves to a 'top 4/5 club' their chances of a call up increase dramatically. Chambers & Clyne are perfect examples. Clyne was one of the best RB's last season and only just got his first cap, after another super 8 months. Chambers had a good season last year (not as good as Clyne), moved to Woolwich and was called up within...5 games I think?That's a bit unfair considering we have five players in the squad including Townsend and Walker...
For me, it is tactical ineptitude. He's decided he wants to play a safe 4-3-3 and is like oh well how am I going to get Kane in there because I have to play Rooney as he is captain. He'll probably throw Sterling out on the right as well where he has been struggling in a place that is clearly no longer his best position.
If he had balls he'd play a 4-4-2 diamond like Rodgers did last season with Sterling leading the diamond, Carrick, Henderson, and Delph/Mason behind with Rooney and Kane up top. Clyne and Baines are superb going forward and will offer the necessary width. Rooney and Kane are two of the the most versatile players in the league, to not be able to fit them into the side is heinous IMO.
Unless you take into consideration The World Cup whereby EVERYONE was shit. But hey ho, continue as before. Batter all the minnows in qualifiers and crash out to the first half decent team we play.In fairness it's hardly surprising given the fact Townsend is selected that he does ignore form. Roy goes for his tried and trusted. If you did good for him before he'll back you to the hill
