Wow, such a high quality retort.There is so much wrong with this post I don't even know where to start.

Karim Benzema used to get same criticism for many, MANY, years until he got his shite together in twilight years.Kane’s more consistent. Son does it in burst patches throughout the season. Part of why if you look at his stats he’s never hit a 20+ season.
A very good player, but Real Madrid standard? Yeah not sure about that.
Thanks. Rashford isn't fit to lace Son's boots and it's embarrassing to see a Spurs fan suggest otherwise. Son has been one of the very best in his position in the league for years and would get into most sides in Europe. Rashford would not, whether he is coached by Conte or not.Wow, such a high quality retort.

Son is absolutely good enough for Real Madrid if Benzema managed to get away with his consistency issue.
Why have none of these top sides ever tried to sign him then?Thanks. Rashford isn't fit to lace Son's boots and it's embarrassing to see a Spurs fan suggest otherwise.

This is just crazy talk. Tell me then what aspects of Rashford's game are elite?Why have none of these top sides ever tried to sign him then?
As I said, he is elite in one or two areas of the game. Give him space to run in behind and he will punish teams because he's lightning quick and clinical, he also strikes the ball equally well off either foot. Ask him to contribute in possession though or create something against teams who sit back and limit his space then more often than not he'll have very little effect on the game and you'll barely notice he's even playing. Rashford at 22 already matched(albeit with a few penalties) Son's best output in a season so on what basis can you definitely claim that he'll never get anywhere near Son's level? He's already shown he can, he hasn't been able to do it as consistently as what Son is now doing in his late 20s but that comes with age, Son wasn't this good five yeas ago either. Rashford may never get there but if he doesn't it won't be because he lacks the ability, it'll be because he lacked the mentality to make the most of his talent.
I don't know what's going on with Rashford, maybe he will drop off the face of the Earth in the same way that Dele Alli ha but for anyone who can remember beyond last week, he is still a player with all the attributes to be amongst the upper echelon of wide forwards.
Right now, none of them, which is why it's probably futile for me to keep carrying on with this.This is just crazy talk. Tell me then what aspects of Rashford's game are elite?
At the moment Rashford's work rate, weaker foot, off the ball movement, shooting are miles behind Son. His body language on the field is worrying too. The overhype in english player is probably not good for him either. However I do agree Son is better fit for a counter attacking side. Son is definitely the best Asian footballer this generation. He is ahead of Nakata to me only due to his consistency through out the years.Right now, none of them, which is why it's probably futile for me to keep carrying on with this.
As I recall though, I said he has the qualities to be as good as Son, not that he already is.
That's fair, though the difference between the two is certainly heightened by them currently being at complete opposite ends of the form spectrum.At the moment Rashford's work rate, weaker foot, off the ball movement, shooting are miles behind Son.

I don't hate Benzema. Since 2018, he became a top 5 no.9 and is currently the best player in the world.
@Bale Bale Bale is pretty spot on, check his posts. Your hate boner for Benzema is absurd. A top 5 no.9 of the past 10-15 years is in no way comparable to a flakey wide attacker.
I thought he's always been rated as elite tier especialy since last season. Even I remember last year or 2 years ago, some pundit like Neville said United probably should sign Son instead of Kane or something like that.Getting on a bit now, the guy is good no doubt however.
He has always been viewed as just under that elite tier for wide forwards, and im not too sure why.
Best finisher by efficiency: Son.Is he the best finisher in the world? I don't think there's anyone else who has consistently outperformed their XG like he does.
Yeah, he's a really classy player.World class player.
Oh you!A top class player, still not the best Koren to play in the Premier League, but hey second is still a good place to be.
First Asian player to be awarded the Premier League Golden Boot. It's especially impressive when you consider that (a) none of his goals were penalties; and (b) he takes almost all corners for Spurs, which means he's not even in the box for a goal chance from these.
Well done Sonny - combining with Kane to be the most lethal strike partnership ever seen in the Prem. It will be a long time (if ever) before another Prem team duo gets even close to their combined tally of goals and mutual assists.
Finally, please note: I'm here to discuss the Ukrainian situation - nothing else.
I imagine it's because his contract runs until 2025 and he appears to be very happy at Spurs. So not much point in other clubs pursuing what is likely unobtainable.any chance he might leave Spurs? surprised that he is not receiving much attention from top European teams..
Decision making is most of what separates the crazy good footballers from regular ones once you get to the premier league level.Right now, none of them, which is why it's probably futile for me to keep carrying on with this.
As I recall though, I said he has the qualities to be as good as Son, not that he already is. Rashford does exactly what Son does but not yet at the same consistency. He makes the same out-to-in runs behind the opposition and finishes, or he cuts inside and whips the ball into the far corner. You don't score the free-kick he scored at Chelsea a couple of seasons back without having elite level shooting technique, he's not there yet in terms of Son's composure in front of goal but like I keep saying, he's 5-6 years younger than Son. This is a player who scored 17 in the league two seasons ago and 6 in 6 in the CL last season, yet because he's hit a rut you act as though I'm gassing up Andros Townsend.
Mentality is everything in football so if he doesn't have it then his talent will account for very little but if he does sort himself out then I see no reason why he couldn't reach Son's level.
Son is brilliant. Would love him at Chelsea over that nauseatingly mono-toned Kane. In terms of taking corners though? It’s roughly 3% of corners result in goals so it’s completely irrelevant.First Asian player to be awarded the Premier League Golden Boot. It's especially impressive when you consider that (a) none of his goals were penalties; and (b) he takes almost all corners for Spurs, which means he's not even in the box for a goal chance from these.

Fixed. And definitely, the best Karen is still Lukaku for every drama he brings.A top class player, still not the best Karen to play in the Premier League, but hey second is still a good place to be.
