Harry Kane

[Big Daddy Cool]

Just seen his career stats posted on Twitter, they are absolutely ridiculous.

149 goals in 217 Premier League games
35 goals in 59 European games
32 goals in 48 England games
14 goals in 20 FA Cup games
9 goals in 35 Championship games
5 goals in 13 EFL Cup games
5 goals in 18 League One games

249 goals in 410 career games.


Still only 27, surely (barring any catastrophic injuries) he’s on course to break Shearer’s PL record and probably Rooney’s England record.

Even more remarkable considering for the few years of his career he looked nothing special.

I wonder what Saido Berahino is thinking right now. Had he got the move to Tottenham he could have been on par. The “non move” killed Saido

Saido's shitty attitude killed Saido. He was never the great professional Kane was and is.

Kane is an example of a decent, but unspectacular player, realising what they are good at, and being the best they can at it, surrounding themselves with fitness experts, people who are successful and driven themselves and always trying to be better every day.

Berahino was what happens when a very talented player decides he is a gangster.

Kevin Keeganesque.

Made the most of what he had and worked hard, as a player not a manager.

Weird to think that Saido was seen as the better prospect considering how the two careers have gone.  All he had to do was bang a few goals in between September and the New Year and he’d have got his big move.  Maybe it’s a good job he didn’t - all that money, fame and London wouldn’t have ended well.

Kane wanted to be a footballer.

Saido wanted to look like one.

Kane genuinely has his eyes on the prize. When he and Son click they are unplayable, but his England record proves this to be no fluke.

Whereas Saido seems to harbour the ambition of knocking bottles of noz to spotty youths from the Fire Exit at the back of a Nandos he works at.

Thought it was Son who Spurs got instead of Saido? And wow did they moan!

Hopefully he'll pick up a slight calf or hammy strain in Bulgaria.

Kane's a footballer. Saido's a baller.

[Kit Kat Chunky]

Saido was never very talented.

One paced, one footed, lazy and couldn't head the ball.

He was a good finisher, but wasn't prepared to work on his game.

[Everything Zin]

He definitely wasn’t one footed. Agree that he couldn’t head a ball though.

He was a good finisher, but wasn't prepared to work on his game.

At his peak he was an excellent striker of the ball and seemed to be able to get a very high percentage of attempts on target compared to most strikers - a rare talent.
Only he knows what happened to that talent......
