Player Watch Player Watch: Son Heung-min

sign da ting Sonny ✍

 

[cider spurs]

Love this lad's energy and enthusiasm for the game. You can really see that it matters to him.

Be absolutely over the moon if he can keep these standards and form coupled with signing a contract extension.

How to make a Heung Min Son

A lot of Arsenal fans don't rate Kane. It's nothing but denial as they originally started off calling him a 'one season wonder', then it became 'tap in merchant' then it became 'goal snatcher' then 'penalty merchant'.

They can't accept that Kane continuously answers their criticism so they end up trying to pick more holes in his game until it becomes basically a "he's overrated" or "he's lucky" argument. It also may have something to do with them letting him go when he was younger.

Every single coach in world football would have Harry Kane in their team without a doubt.

If you watch any of those fan debates, it's usually the Chelsea or Arsenal ones who try to downplay everything about him, yet United fans, City fans and so will all say they'd love to have him.

Which shows a clear sign of jealousy.

I think Aubameyang is a superb striker and wouldn't dispute that, cause id look bitter and stupid.

However, he hasn't got as much to his game as Kane. We are so lucky to have him.

We are also so lucky to have Sonny, another player who continues to get better and better despite the impression that he had a limit to his potential.

not sure its just gooners. I think a lot of people think Kane is "over-rated" though I certainly dont. You watch Kane and he just doesnt look like a guy that should be scoring 30 goals a year. It comes down to his incredible work ethic and preparation that he does. But he definitely isnt over-rated. If anything, he's the model footballer.

Some of the early posts on this thread are rippers.. page 18 is gold ?

Hmmm some real humdingers in there and from some pretty seasoned contributors too.

Players always need time to settle. I thought Tanguy was a donkey but look at him now.

Has a goalscoring ratio for Tottenham of 40% which imo is fantastic, especially when you’re playing alongside one of the greatest goalscorers of all time, whos ratio is 66%

Compared him with the other top wide men in a 3

Mané - 48%
Sterling - 42%

Martial - 32%

Compare him with other Tottenham goalscorers with a similar ratio:

Falco - 38%
Keane - 40%
Defoe - 40%
Crooks - 41%
Archibald - 41%

If any other striker in the league had 5 goals and 7 assists (domestically) to start the season the media and other fans would be falling over themselves to crown him. But bc it’s Kane a player people in England are so used to just passing off as a ‘mong’ it gets barely any attention. I know this is the Son thread but the way Kane gets treated by both the media and other fans, even the neutral ones, annoys me as such a huge fan of him

 

[punkisback]

Wow. Didn’t realise he also can speak French to some degree! From social media Aurier tells him to smile and he does. In the new photo shoot behind the scenes he tells Ndombele to hurry up. Smart guy.

You really see how much his Dad has instilled work ethic in him

 

[Bulletspur]

Yeah, there is often a 'let's just sign him up' type of comment irrespective of the actual likelihood of it happening. I mean you probably see it across a few fanbases but I definitely see it a lot among United supporters.

This is also demonstrated by our own fan base, especially in the transfer window. This irritating sense of entitlement

You are right, page 18 is a classic!

It's actually a little cringeworthy.

I didn't use the word classic with any positive intent

You think Kane is undervalued/mistreated by the British media? You won't find many pundits or Journalists that don't believe he's the best English forward since Shearer. So much so they've been trying to sell him to the two manc clubs for over 5 years now. I'd also say the majority of fans see him as world class, and it's only the vocal minority on social media you are talking about.

Yeah, I mean I don't personally like to make the whole 'people on SC are stranger/different to everyone else' type of comment but I thought the same (and even said at the time) when some were saying we should sign Ben Chilwell, when even though he left to go somewhere else it was just at least in my eyes something that would never have happened at the time.

I wonder if the people that wanted Sonny sold 3 or 4 seasons ago are the same people who think Dele should be sold now, or who weren't against selling Kane off when he wasn't looking so great.

I blame FIFA (the shit game, not the corrupt organisation).

No idea what you mean...

Why the fuck we even bought him? One of the worst scouting results for us.... pathetic player.... this is what mitchell finds using his algorithm....lol

 

[carmeldevil]

Give him anything he wants.

 

[mil1lion]

His header reminded me of Klinsmann

 

[SlotBadger]

Gorgeous placement of his header with such little time to react.
