Kane has now played more minutes in the PL this season than he did in the whole of 2014/15, hopefully he can finish the campaign with a flurry of goals to get his strike rates back up the figures he posted during his breakthrough season and fire us to the title as he picks up the Golden Boot!!
2014/15: 21 goals from 112 shots (2582 minutes) = 18.8% conversion rate (123 minutes per goal)
2015/16: 19 goals from 123 shots (2651 minutes) = 15.4% conversion rate (140 minutes per goal)
Actually, and I keep quoting Wikipedia, the last time one single player was our league top scorer two seasons in a row, was Steffen Iversen in the late 90s. With a whopping 9 and 14 league goals respectively.
Walking in the footsteps of giants
Until the start of next season ...I can hear it now "Two season wonder that's all he is"
Until the start of next season ...
Like I said.I don't think he is next Rooney, but at start of this season people were clambering over themselves to have Kane as our 3rd choice striker.
With a bit of a run in the side (reg sub appearances) I think he will do ok and weight in with a few goals. Who knows where he will go from there.
Part of the problem at Norwich was he got injured early on and then it was always going to be difficult to break into the team.
One of only 9 players to manage a combined tally of 20+ league goals over the past 2 seasons... Not too shabby being just a brace behind Mozart himself...I can hear it now "Two season wonder that's all he is"
Those were the days...Actually, and I keep quoting Wikipedia, the last time one single player was our league top scorer two seasons in a row, was Steffen Iversen in the late 90s. With a whopping 9 and 14 league goals respectively.
And then it'll be three season wonder and he's off to City, Utd, Madrid, "Leicester", you know the press hate us
Iversen, he of the more zits on his face than goals in a season for us, doesn't deserve to be in this thread
I remember a funny story about how he got woken up when they were filming the movie notting hill and he blamed his poor run of form on that movie and the filming of it.
Odd area for him to live I thought at the time, maybe because I personally can not stand notting hill or Holland park, got kicked out of a swingers party in just my underwear back in the day, walked round for ages with people laughing and pointing.
