I'd love for him to waltz into the England squad and shame Rooney, Welbeck and Lambert
:adelol:Lambert!
Sturridge struggles to stay match fit and Rooney is very versatile like Kane up to so I think they'd work well together. Would be epic to see!Looks like it's coming, Kane already at 21 looks a level above Welbeck or Lambert have ever been, England only have two top class strikers, Rooney and Sturridge, Kane may follow those two in time.
I wanted to see how effective each of these strikers were, since they had obviously been given differing amounts of playing time so I looked up some stats and this is what I came up with... Kane doesn't come first, but with these stats it looks like he is the second most effective striker in the Premier League... I'd say that's pretty good for a 21 yr old! COYS!
*Disclaimer: I know that it would be more precise with "Goals per minute", but I couldnt find any good data on how many minutes each had played (couldnt find the minutes any had played in capital one) so I went with games started.
**Disclaimer: I understand that Sergio, Diego, and Alexis would probably have scored more if their teams were in Europa instead of Champions, but then again if Kane had the support that City and Chelsea give their strikers he would probably have more goals as well...

Funnily enough, it seemed like Bentaleb was the silver lining after the clusterfuck of last season. Now with Kane, there really is something special about seeing the kids come through.Insane stats from basically a kid, we have been lucky he has grown so quickly this season can you imagine this season without him?
Should have had a hattrick today. Get rid.
But I mean its the usual consensus with Spurs fans, no?Total shit then my missus could have scored those goals
You my man need to understand a couple of thingsBut I mean its the usual consensus with Spurs fans, no?
If Soldado performed like Kane today, he'd have been slated. There would have been the usual sarcastic comment when he scores, and then when he proceeds to miss his chances, the abuse piles on.

"Generalising and stereotyping"
Forums are often full of shit and mayhap sometime folks say something they don't really believe because emotions are high or they are just trying to get a rise
Besides Kane played well, I'd be over the moon if Soldado played like that today.
Seriously... what on earth are some peoples expectations? That every single chance is put away?
As the team starts to pay better, we should in theory create more chances and hopefully our strikers will bag a brace or a hat-trick along the way.
Calm down. Could you not sense by my original post that it was tongue in cheek?
