Really? i thought his highlight clips expose him as nothing but a 100 m sprinter and that's about it. His first touch looks jammy as does his finishing.

Good point. Algorithms in day to day football. I just hope they all have faith in the system, and play to their analysed strengths..

That's Kane 18 months ago, minus the speed......

I knew Harry Kane. Harry Kane was a friend of mine. He's no Harry Kane.

He will be a smash hit. I know it.. But even if he's not, he's young, full of potential and will have solid resale value

good point. Harry had problems with the ball getting stuck under his feet, looked clumsy as fcuk at times

In the same respect that you don't know Clinton N'Jie?

Difference is that kane can still pick out a pass and is a work horse.
Don't know much about this guy and I'm not knocking him but in my opinion his youtube vids do not seem to indicate that he is much of a footballer, rather someone getting by due to athletic ability. Not always a bad thing but I've seen this type of player being most frustrating.

bit unfair i think. He has shown some nice ability in the way he finishes, and some of his assists have been smart and unselfish. For a 20-21 year old breaking into the team I dont think you could expect much more
I believe the raw ingredients are there but of course he has big challenges ahead, new league, country, culture, demanding coaches, very critical and hard to please fans

It's a classic line from a vice presidential debate. Folks in the U.S. would probably understand the reference. And you're right, I don't know N'jie, but if someone does, I'd be interested to hear what they see in him that I don't.

You really have to watch the match vids and not the compilations. If he's a raw talent, he's a bit too raw for my taste and at 22 I would expect someone who's a bit more the finished article. Add the whole adjustment to the PL thing and it just makes the likelihood of him being a success even more unlikely. Hope to be proven wrong, since it seems this one is all but sealed.bit unfair i think. He has shown some nice ability in the way he finishes, and some of his assists have been smart and unselfish.

my GHod if back in the day match vids and compilation highlights were available someone like Gary Lineker would have been written off hundreds of times based on his match vids
for 10 mill he is a cheap gamble, this years Stambouli. If he flops we can sell him to PSG next summer for 12 mill

If one bases their opinion of a player solely on some 5 minute utube clip then it is not really going to be an informed view methinks

Not nearly as frustrating as players with tons of ability but no commitment or work rate. We've had a few of those. Gio, Taarabt, Ade to name a few... I'd rather have a hungry, committed and hard working guy that can work on and improve his abilities.

Learnt a long time ago not to take any notice of youtube highlights, they usually flatter to deceive.

tickle my balls with a feather, personally I never get to excited about players and their youtube highlights ( as I think its can mislead) but ( again personally) I think its just as stupid to write players off as well.
Err...........yes, you are!
Something for the youtube naysayers to consider:
For all that N'jie looks clumsy, lacks a consistently decent first touch and might make frequent poor decisions, he seems to be a player who makes things happen in attack for his team - even when not playing well.
And we desperately need such a player.
