Still a good return for a wide-man... Last season was a freak... He'll return to those kind of numbers this year.
And if he doesn't regress, fair play. If he puts up numbers regularly (25+ league) then he's worth the hype on his goalscoring. At the moment, in spite of having a single season better than any of Kane's, there is no consistency.

Successive seasons starting 2014/15 season - league goals, total in brackets
Kane: 21 (31), 25 (28), 29 (35), 30 (41)
Salah: 6 (9), 14 (15), 15 (19), 32 (44)

This season
Kane: 6 (10)
Salah: 5 (7)

For the record Salah is also a year older than Kane.

NB: Over the same period Kane has 19 international goals to Salah's 21.
 
So the new stadium is now going to make us relegation contenders...Dippers be crazy
The narrative has been building for a while now.
1. New Stadium will kill us too much debt. (REALITY it will generate revenues likely to be on par with Woolwich and surpass Chelsea and Liverpool, biggest driver to do this = STADIUM)
2. New Stadium - Can't afford to keep best players have to sell them. I Like this one because it's based solely on what Woolwich did. The facts are currently that we are keeping our best players and signing them up to new long-term deals. Our wage bill is increasing as a result and we haven't even moved in yet.
3. New Stadium - Concrete bowl with no atmosphere. Another drive off the back of Woolwich, we sing, we always have. This stadium has been built to have those that sing all in one place 17 thousand of them. It will bounce.
4. Champions League - "Only making up the numbers" = Another narrative being driven based solely on what Woolwich did, NINETEEN FUCKING YEARS of consecutively qualifying for a competition they only ever reached the final once. (Spurs have only qualified for it 4 times!!). This label isn't aimed at City or any of the others for that matter, whilst some may have won it once they aren't exactly powerhouses in the competition.

Everything driven is based on a wish, there isn't much substance behind it at all. A bit like Spurs losing all their players and having this rammed down our throats for 4 and a half years on a daily basis, what a waste of ink and airtime.
 
Got a proper southern, armchair, Liverpool fan in the secret santa at work. Any idea of offensive/funny gift I can get him

Resigned to the fact that trying to match City financially is futile?

Cool... Hopefully he'll allow them to stagnate; avoiding any further major outlays, decision making etc.

Maybe a cheeky player sale or two to re-coup some of this summer's £200m?



...Whatever the outcome; please ensure it's as painful a process as possible.
 
In 16/17? Dele was at 18, Son 14 which is great. Dele dropped to 10 and Son to 12 last season. We need more from them again. I guess with Lamela getting more gametime and scoring a few as well, theres less burden on the other 2.

Pretty sure Sonny broke 20 goals that season.... I sense you're purely considering EPL goals.

Edit: Yup... Thought so....

"The forward shone in 2016-17 with 21 goals in all competitions. Indeed, his goal at Leicester on May 18 took him to 20 and made sure this current team created a little more Club history, for the first time, three players weighed in with 20-plus goals in all competitions in a season with Sonny's final 21, Dele Alli's 22 and Harry Kane's 35."

2016-17 in numbers - Son's slice of history

Meanwhile CE was one short in all comps with 19:

Appearances: 48 (36 EPL, 3 FA, 1 LC, 6 UCL, 2 EL)
Goals: 19
Assists: 17

Christian Eriksen made the leap in 2016-17.
