We should loan him back to Millwall he is comfortable there and they have a good side pushing for promotion. On top of that Adam Smith is already there.
Don't rate Kane as a quality Prem player ATM. No 4th place if he's the answer, IMHO
He might get better, but I don't think he'll ever make 'top 4' level.
I think that is a bit of a silly thing to say, TBH. If Defoe's injury is not as bad as feared, he would end up being third choice. With Holtby on board, we may go back to playing one up front with Dempsey, Sig and Holtby playing off one of them. He could be good enough to do this and it may be a better option than bringing in a new striker, if we are unable to complete a deal for one that is better than the two we currently have.
Footballing genius.
Worth a repeat to bump this thread.
He has improved, but needs playing time, we need to find a good loan for him.
I've always thought his lack of pace and physique would prove damning for him, but he's really bulked out a lot.
He could even turn into a Ricky Lambert in a few years.
it was an odd game - defending a lead at OT of all places, and marking time for the win would probably have been his instructions i.e. to be an outlet and to stretch the play etc... probably not the game to judge the player on, especially with a faster defender (Valencia) man marking him.
It looked like a poor sub, but who knows ...
He has improved, but needs playing time, we need to find a good loan for him.
Very few clubs would be willing to give him minutes, he's a technical player and wouldnt suit must premier league clubs just after a goalscorer. We will need him for the second half of the season if we continue with 2 upfront and Defoe leaves.
