HARRY KANE: WORTH ALL THE FUSS?

  

The Red-hot Blitzer from London (c)(premierleague.com)
  
   Certainly he is. Tottenham Hotspur's very own hitman's on some red-hot form. He's into double figures for goals this season for club and country, and also is closing on Geordie great Alan Shearer's calendar-year record (36). Seven strikes away from the former Newcastle man. Hey Mr Thierry, you hear that?
  
   One of Spurs' erstwhile youth team coaches Alex Inglethorpe said Kane looked quite clumsy and a bit cumbersome, when he first played for the club at the under-18 level. One thing which was hard to dissuade was the fact that he had some darn good technique, and also the burning desire to develop. And we're seeing the benefits now. I have a shrug of the shoulder each time I see my fantasy points thanks to him. He's got such as a power and accuracy about his strikes which you'll liken to Premier League legend Alan Shearer, according to cult hero Les Ferdinand. One thing which startles me about the 24-year old, is that he isn't as quick as many of the renown centre-forwards we've got now: but his positioning and anticipation are right up there with the best. He's made up for that lack in place, a very smart footballer he is.

    He's got the lot this man. He can hit one from 30 yards, can rise highest to direct his effort towards goal, and he loves the tap-in too. Goals are becoming a regularity for the previous Leicester attacker over the last three seasons: 21 in 14/15, 25 in 15/16 (Golden Boot), and 29 last campaign in just 30 games for Tottenham. Stunning thing with last year's tally is that he missed two months due to injury and still won the Golden Boot. One-season wonder you say? Also, he now holds the record for most goals in London Derbies (previously a certain Thierry Henry). This term it's six in seven for Pochettino's man, whose wife will be worried about the proclaimed love he's admitted to during press conferences. He's just getting better and better. The only way is up, for this guy. Madridistas certainly pressuring Club President Florentino Perez to send that cheque to Dan Levy.

    He may not be considered as world-class by some Greats, but he certainly is worth all the fuss. A title-winning campaign far away from him, however you can't fault his track-record. Harry's blitzing alright, and there are very high chances that he'll go all the way this season. He is just that good.

  1. Dan levy would probably never sell Kane or Alli, especially after letting go of Bale and modric.

EPL 18/19: DERBY DAY IN MANCHESTER

       We’re not scared anymore. A rather defiant Pep Guardiola hinted in his press conference yesterday, as City prepare for their game in hand v Oleball’s Man United. Who will be the King Of The North?       Manchester United got thumped by a spirited Everton side this past Sunday. If that’s anything to go by, then it’s probably curtains for Sir Alex’s grandkids. Positive is, Old Trafford can be a daunting presence when needed. You just never know with this club. Ney still having mares of that night in the French capital. Last time out, goals from Kun Agüero and Ilkay Gündogan k illed off any comeback. Can’t be the same again yeah?  “Ole’s at the wheel yeah?” (c)bleacherreport.com      City fans have been chanting the Campeones anthem already, after Saturday’s win v Pochettino. No VAR sadly then. Victory the maximum, or it could just slip. Yes, that’s the word. Skye Sports confirm a certain Scouse just signed as a fr...

UCL 18/19: IT’S AN ALL-ENGLISH AFFAIR

      (c) https://www.teamtalk.com/  Cue Mo Salah.        Whew. Taken a breath yeah? This is why we love the game. It’s never over till AY says so, or the lady. What a 48 hours it’s been. This season has shown us one thing on different occasions: fortune really does favour the brave.     Brave? Or a case of the never-disappearing bottle. Barcelona threw away a 3-0 lead, again. Jürgen Klopp having another Istanbul-like night. Borussia Dortmund suffered the same in 2016. What makes this more special, is the fact that they did it without Mo’ Salah and Firmino. When you’re backed up against the wall, it seems that’s when true character is shown. Hats off for Liverpool, and to Jürgentainment Klopp. Who’d have thought too much passion would be a good thing?  (c) https://www.businessinsider.com/     Mauricio Pochettino did not sign a single player in the last two transfer windows, didn’t have the Kane Man, an...

UCL 18/19 SEMIFINAL REVIEW: FIRST LEG

Europe’s elite club competition served up another dose of rich entertainment, not for everyone though. It seems you shouldn’t disrespect an almost-hallowed football ground.      Giant-killing Ajax Amsterdam added another victim to the list, with a deserved 1-0 away win at Spurs’ new ground. Donny Van De Beek afforded far too much time in the 18-yard as Hugo Lloris was left exposed. Spurs huffed and puffed as the game came to a close, with Dele Alli only forcing a save from André Onana. Special mention to Jan Vertonghen who recovered after taking a whack which left him bloodied for a bit. Pochettino still has hope as Son Heung-Min would be back from suspension. Ajax looked rattled for a bit as Sissoko and co chased and harried.       Fear it, dread it, run from it: Destiny still arrives. Did you really think Leo Messi was going to let this one slip?      Liverpool got taught the lesson of the famous smash and grab: Liverpool pl...
