Based on our need for attacking reinforcements and a 15 minute cameo against 10 man Albania,
I'm sold. Get him in.

This guy looked an absolute donkey in the Switzerland game tonight. Definitely gets his reputation from FM
Not sure how you came to that impression.

Thought it was a good test to see where he's at, against good players and in a fairly big match environment.

Thought that he's very much a raw player, whose strength and pace

His strength and pace gave the Swiss an outlet, but didn't offer much movement, and doesn't seem a natural striker who knows where to move in and around the box.

Definitely a lot of tools in the box but for the money quoted he'd still need a fair bit of work.

What do you think a neutral observer would have said about Kane's performance against a very shit Russia and pretty shit Wales for 45 minutes ?

The kid's what 19? Playing against one of the best national teams in the world. He's very raw, he's got a shit load lot of learning to do, and I do think he's being over priced based on the new reality/potential discrepancy valuation placed on any young kid who can kick a ball straight these days, but a he is capable of better than he showed tonight, whether he's capable of realising the potential he's showed this far and developing into something more, who knows?

Even rawer than N'jie but with more physicality that would suit League. They're after silly money, mind

Well he's no Ante Rebic.

watch him play and the biggest issue I see is lack of movement and seems to lack upper body strength.... I only watch the 1st half against France when he played as lone striker. He is not worth what Basel is asking for

How can anyone come to a conclusion of him on the back of one performance, Jesus Christ :D
