I think Nevin is just headline hunting. Hope Kane keeps it up. Many months ago I wrote an article backing Harry Kane and likened him to a young Mandzukic.
Yes he may not be everyone's stand out contender but his industry and eye for goal can be invaluable to team like ours.
Even now you can see the likeness..you can substitute Mandzukic for Harry Kane in this review. I'm not saying Kane is anyway near Mandzukic's current level but at 21 being 7 years younger he has plenty time to improve
'Following his move to Atlético Madrid, Sky Sports analyst Adam Bate wrote that he was the perfect fit for manager Diego Simeone's style as Mandžukić is 'often the instigator of the press with his energetic running, Mandzukic battles defences, driving them back to create space for team-mates as well as preventing opponents building patiently without pressure on the ball.'Bate further added that the Croatian 'is both a physical and mobile striker who does so much of his best work without the ball, seemingly doing the work of two players and thus allowing an extra man in midfield.'
He can learn to hold it up better. He'll get older, more experienced , cleverer.
It's not there yet, but the raw materials are for a proper number 9
Weird person for Nevin to turn on, never really liked him as a pundit and think his BBC 'analysis' videos are beyond cringe, but this is poor even for him
Strange comments by Nevin. Think there's areas Kane needs to work on (shooting etc...) But overall thought his first touch was pretty good.
