Jeez, I remember when he scored deflected free-kick against Villa to get him up and running and then Poch dropped Soldado next game. Seems like a world away now.
Great player. Won't be long before a big club snap him up.

Kane's rise has been pretty special. I don't think anyone really picked him out a potential superstar when he was a youngster, but here is now one of the best in his position in Europe. Just goes to show, you should never totally write a player off, and fair play to Spurs they do seem to give their kids longer to develop than a lot of teams.
I remember seeing him at youth levels for England in thoroughly underwhelming teams. He and Ross Barkley were usually picked as the "ones to watch," but Kane never really looked like anything particularly special. I think I still have that bias about him, an attitude of "meh, he's good but..." which is pretty much impossible to justify at this point.
It's an interesting comparison with Barkley. Barkley always looked naturally very gifted, but the big problem with him was always "what does he do with that talent." I want to say 3-4 years on he still really has that problem.
The great thing about Kane is that he's not an absolute natural but he's turned Himself into a cracking striker. His shooting technique is exceptional

I've got no recollection of him being special during his loan spells at Millwall and elsewhere, he's really matured in the last few years.

I don't think they will snap him up, I think they will have to pay a fortune.
Its a shame that at the time we have arguably the best finisher in world football that theres a total lack of any creativity anywhere in out set up.
I don't agree he's the best finisher, but he's clearly excellent.
More importantly, I think England have some decent attacking players, they're largely young and erratic, or in the case of Lallana injured, or the Ox struggling from years of a lack of regular football. You have Alli (21), Sterling (22)--and I know it's fashionable to think Sterling is rubbish but he isn't, he's an excellent player playing week-in week-out for a Pep Guardiola side scoring goals and creating chances, Rashford (19). Plus you have Kyle Walker who desperately needs space to run in to as we saw at the Euros, and Danny Rose, who has a good delivery, who is injured.
In central midfield I would agree they lack creativity, although Henderson has some moments of looking like he can really pick a clever pass to unlock defenses, he has just as many, if not more moments where he looks "eh...not quite" at everything he does. I think Dier is really maturing into a good defensive midfielder who takes care of the ball really well, and therefore will likely be under-appreciated. And Livermore is functional.
Hopefully the young group of talented attacking/creative players coming through (Winks, Maitland-Niles, Onomah, Fodden, Sancho, Davis, Dowell, Lookie, Cook, Loftus-Cheek, Lewis Baker, Ojo, Solanke, Gray, Izzy Brown, Kasey Palmer, Roberts) all develop as players and reach the heights of their potential. If they do, Harry Kane will have a good supply line in years to come.
I love the optimism of so called England fans - why dont they just take their negativity somewhere else. Its called pride. If you dont have it , then just feck off, and take your negative comments with you.
The midfield is a problem I agree. Not a fan of playing the two holding midfielders, especially as they are both distinctly average. Albeit Dier has more potential. Don't forget we still have Lallana to come back, very creative player, as well as dare I say it, jack wilshere...who if and it is a massive if, can get himself a spot in the Arsenal team and maintain his fitness while performing to the level we know he can play at from now until the summer, I think would warrant a place at very least in the squad.

Hold up - you didn't even know there was an England game on 24 hours ago !
Cant believe that Harry Winks has been called up to the England squad... Barely gets a game for Spurs!!
Fraid it looks like we've returned to big club mentality when selecting players
Have you actually watched him play?
The boy is going to be a star. Was very good in his 33 appearances last season until an ankle ligament injury brought his season to an early finish and has been very good since making his comeback. He was the best player on the pitch apart from Kane last weekend. The boy deserves his chance.
He's reminds me very much of Modric. Always plays with his head up. Always got time on the ball, great range of passing with both feet, great engine and keeps the ball ticking over nicely. He's a very tidy player. Plenty of experience playing alongside Dier. I'd be confident going into any game with him playing alongside one of Dier, Wanyama or Dembele.
Whether he gets a chance at Spurs is another matter. Hopefully Poch sees him as the long term replacement for Dembele but time will tell.
Would pick him ahead of Henderson and Delph any day of the week.
Lets be honest, everyone wrote off Kane as a one season wonder.
Talented player he may be, but the fact is he's started less than 10 premier league games and has only played 122 minutes of Premier League football so far this season. He should be nowhere near the senior side yet and it's a sad reflection of the state of our midfield right now, that he is.

Totally agree with you but I would prefer Harry Winks be added to the squad than reverting back to someone like Ashley Young.
I am going to this. Looking forward to it. Only my second ever England game and my first competitive match. The other was the Portugal friendly prior to the Euro's

Reminds me of a certain Scotty Parker, i think he is class and will only get better. Good choice imo weak team overall though, Kane captain is a funny one John boy? is he vice-captain at spurs? i can ask my spurs mate but as we are on the subject here.

He has captained the side at times but only when Hugo Lloris and Jan Vertonghen have been out injured or suspended.
The problem is that we are good enough to qualify but that lack of creativity is cruelly exposed when we play better teams! If we can find a couple the future would be exciting as you need the athletic, strong pacy players too. I think the issue is that clubs produce these and buy the creativity from abroad. There needs to be an incentive to develop creative players.

But he's young and talented and England have two competitive games, the second of which could be a dead rubber. Why not bring him in to the team now? He looks like a player who could play for England for a decade I don't see the problem with easing him in.
To me having Livermore as a regular in the squad is a far bigger problem and indicative of the lack of options.

Himself into a cracking striker. His shooting technique is exceptional
My guess is over £300mil.

That will make getting back a bundle of fun
