Reached 400 career goals for club and country today as well. Warra season!
I don't see how anyone can deny his quality any more? Yeah I know he hasn't won a team trophy but to hit the numbers he does on a consistent basis is ridiculous. God I hope he wins the UCL to get that off his back.

The only argument anyone can try to make now is the big games argument that pops up, because it's true that he's never scored in or influenced a final although you can say he'd been injured and rushed back and clearly not fit for two of the ones he played for us.

Sure. But as an individual you can't argue his ability whatsoever. And he may not have turned up in finals per say but he has turned up in other big games like v City, NLDs etc.

I might be wrong (again) and without checking, but someone told me Mo Salah has never scored from open play in a Cup Final. So whilst contributions vary and are desirable, it isn't something i'd particularly use to criticise him for, for Salah, assuming the stat is correct, other players turned up as befits a team sport and it's barely, if ever mentioned. Kane's record is just an easy bollocksy stick for opposition fans(and some of our free thinkers ;)) to beat him with.

It does feel like, in addition to his goals and play, he probably saved 5-10 goal against every season just by being a valuable presence at the front post for defending corners. We haven't replaced that side of him at all judging by how many soft set pieces we concede.

Salah wont get criticised similarly because Liverpool have won a few of those finals, whereas we have lost every final we’ve made since 2008.

Not necessarily fair, but there you go

I think it's already been dismissed. But seeing them together would be interesting.
I can't think of anything worse...

A 39yr old who refuses to play second fiddle to anybody moving to a high intensity league. Would see him arguing about penalty duties and wanting to be the centre of attention.
