I thinks it's due to most English players who appear to have any talent turn out to be quite dislikable or make a complete fool of themselves either on the pitch or with thier private life. Kane seems quite a bit different, he's focussed on his game and wants to perform to the best of his abilities.
Or all three.
They love to buy from Spurs.
Neither of those would stump up the money Spurs would rightfully demand.
True - I'd love to see an English player go abroad and really hit it off; just not that the most likely way that would happen is by going to the two Spanish clubs.
Every english player tends to be shit on the national team. Look at the last decade when supposed world class players like Rooney, Lampard, Gerrard etc were flopping
2 against Dortmund?
Our national team is shit so I personally don't take too much notice of his record for England, as for big teams in CL knockout rounds we shall see. Scored 2 against Dortmund the other week, scored against Monaco away last year.
It was only our Wayne's dazzling looks and razor sharp wit that lead him to being rated.
He had the Gazza fascination factor, Gazza was no Brad Pitt either he just happened to be interesting on the front page, Ala Rooney. Kane doesn't have either. Nice way to totally miss the Gazza bit though
unless you're Sheryl and actually find him sexy. No harm done if so.Sheryl?He had the Gazza fascination factor, Gazza was no Brad Pitt either he just happened to be interesting on the front page, Ala Rooney. Kane doesn't have either. Nice way to totally miss the Gazza bit though
Smashing in goals is what makes him so, so special.
I just think he's not got the X factor. I couldn't rate the lad higher myself I think he's excellent and would love to see him battling the elite for the Balon D'or, he's just underestimated by so many cos he's not superstar material. He won't be selling pencil cases in Japan or aftershave in Boots, if you know what I mean. It's a shame, cos I'd put a few quid that he'll easily break Shearers record if he stays in England. Looking less and less likely season by season if he keeps it up cos one of the big 3 will want him.
I'd argue that's football related too. I think it's relevant that Gazza and Wayne had a tendency to score incredible goals and Beckham made his name scoring from his own half.
Raul did, Morientes did. They were both kind of similiar players, not blessed with amazing speed but hit the back of the net consistently.
He's very clinical. What do Real fans prefer, entertainment or just outright clinical goals? He'll never be a Ronaldo (Portuguese or Brazillian version) type flair player which Real usually prefer but I agree with one of the posts above in comparing him to Raul and Morinetes.
I'm 39, I remember clearly a lot of lads at school having Linekar on their shirts when breaktime hit, you'd be surprised how popular he was (Platt was another, still spoken about in hallowed terms to this day surprisingly) one went to Barca, the other to Parma? I think, somewhere in Italy when Italy was THE place to be. Then Gazza to Lazio. Huddle and Waddle were already the spice boys of their day, Johnny Barnes was a part time rapper. To compare Kane to anyone he'd be Bryan Robson. Great player, yet won't appear on the front cover of smash hits.
One the other hand he's a model professional and isn't going to embarrass any brand associations by getting into fights at a nightclub, or getting caught drink-driving. His current brand associations include Nike, Beats By Dre, Lucozade Sport and BT Sport.
