Harry Kane, some boy. Pull it out of the bag in an England shirt though, young'un.

3) I'm sure I read a stat yesterday saying that you could take away all of Lukaku's goals this season and Everton would still be in the same league position. Pretty interesting.

In that case I'm happy to take the £60m from Chelsea in the summer if it comes to that.

And the fact that he missed almost 3 months of this season.

Indeed , Kane is a sublime player . He has been called s goal poacher ,then a one season wonder and also just crap, he's a legend really.

Who was calling him that?

It's a garbage stat really. Everton would be at least 10 points worse off without his goals. Still enough to be seventh but they'd be miles away from the top six which is where the new owner wants to be.

I'm saying this partially tongue-in-cheek because it almost seems like a foregone conclusion now that he will be leaving in the summer. His goals did win us games, kill games, gave the other players momentum to score their own goals, and even bought us back when he were losing.
But he probably going to go so I'll take any reassurance that I can get that things are going to be okay next season.
Getting top 6 at the moment is a big ask when you consider who the 6 teams above us are.

That said I do think the top 7 of the premier league represents a big gap between the strongest teams and the other teams in the league, it won't be the same top 7 every season but since 2010 the current top 7 has been the same for 3 other seasons, and in the season where it did end like that there was a gap between them and the teams below.
There have been seasons to shake things up a bit, like last season where Everton and Chelsea both did terribly, causing the league to become much more competitive to the point where the top 4 had a much smaller point total than they normally would have (even in such seasons top 8 was a done deal in good time).
I think Everton will manage without Lukaku, we won't break top 6 but I don't see what is there to stop us from continuing being the gatekeepers to 7th place assuming the top 7 teams all perform as they are expected to do next season.

Why is Kane so awful for England then?

Because England are awful?

So whats that make Kane then?

Why did George Best never win the World Cup?

He was drunk?

Yes Photek, that's exactly what I meant.

Kane has played 17 times for England (can't be arsed to check how many he started) and scored 5 goals. In probably the most underperforming and woeful England sides in history, I don't think that is a terrible stat for a young striker.

Amazing

You of all people getting triggered cos I made a joke.

I understand your point but its not like Messi who hasnt won a world cup, Kane has been absolutely bobbins for England. I think he's a great striker but have slight reservations about some things in his game. I don't think I'm the only one, lets see if anyone puts a bid in at all.

Kane was absolute cack in Euro 2016, he should not be defended.

Triggered? I don't think that word means what you think it means.

Everyone has been bobbins for England, it's a bobbins team full of players playing bobbins led by bobbins managers.

Kane's a good player but plays in a shite international team. It's not the same as when Steven Gerrard played bobbins for England while surrounded by better players.

I honestly think Lallana has been playing rather well for England at the moment.

It's not so much defending Kane as slagging off the whole bunch of useless twats.

That is a typical football fan view and its far too easy a get out clause.

The reality is England are a top 15 side and should be doing far better. That counts for all the players.

Kane had no goals and no assists at Euro 2016.

Of course England should be doing better, but they haven't been because of bobbins.

Kane is a good player, he doesn't suddenly become shite just because it is international football, he becomes shite because he is in a shite side. Not shite on paper, there are excellent players in that side, but because England just doesn't seem to work.

Nah. He still has the ability to shoot, he got plenty of chances,just did nothing with any of them. Kane in my opinion was our worst performing player, not a victim of the other players.

Nah what? I didn't mention his performance at Euro 2016 other than to say the whole team was woeful. Although I doubt we would have done much different if any other striker had played and it probably didn't help him that Hodgson had him taking corners.
