Good news. Stepped up when he got his chance at the end of last season, and I'm looking forward to seeing how he progresses.
I actually think he's quite similar to Lambert.
Yup, big lump with surprisingly quick feet and a very powerful shot. If he can get as good in the air as Lambert and as strong as Lambert then we have a great player for years to come, regardless of pace.
Good advert for kids aspiring to join our Academy.
Also seems to have a bit of a footballing brain about him and as Sheringham showed, If you have a footballing brain it can more than make up for any lack of pace.
I honestly don't believe he'll ever set the footballing world ablaze, and I don't think he's regular material for a top 4-6 side, but I do think he's good enough for a squad place and to see some game time and I would much rather see us give that to someone like Kane who we have developed, than pay 8m + 3m pa wages to some average journeyman.
If this were the case the announcement would usually be simultaneous.I wonder if this is one of those new contracts that occur before a player gets loaned out. I'm ok with him being 3rd choice CF, but I wonder if Poch & Spurs think a loan to a PL club where he'll play far more will be better for him and us in long term. Also in terms of squad numbers u could bring in say Remy who'd fill two spots in one (LWF & 3rd choice CF).
Kane performed better behind the striker than as the striker in pre-season. I also recall him doing well a few times as sub in the LWF under AVB, so maybe Kane could fill 3 positions (LWF, AMC & CF).I wonder if this is one of those new contracts that occur before a player gets loaned out.

I can't remember watching a footballer who spends so much time on the floor
Take it you didn't see Robben at the World Cup?

This is a weird player for me: never as good as he looks like he could be, yet miles better than I ever thought he would be.
Yes, he may well get bloodied in the England senior team, particularly as he is still eligible for Ireland, and O'Neil is keeping a watch.If he continues to improve and take his chances I can see him getting an England call-up within a couple of years. He is quickly becoming a very solid squad player for us which is fantastic.
