    Kane is a weird one. No one rates him at all and it has become so fashionable to predict he'll flop this year that predicting he'll score goals in 15/16 seems a better fit for what this thread is about.

    I think it is because Kane is a throwback. We're not used to seeing goalscorers in the Premier League any more. Kane doesn't have any obvious flaws in his game but he also doesn't really excel at the things that forwards generally excel at nowadays. He is strong and big but wouldn't get in a side as a targetman. He is fairly quick but doesn't have electric pace. He works hard but doesn't have a lack of goals to make up for by running himself half dead every week like a Jamie Vardy.

    Just being 'a goalscorer' doesn't seem to be enough these days.

    I think hes a fantastic player. Doesnt really excel at anything other than scoring (Which is handy for a striker...) but is not bad at anything either. Good in the air, decent touch, fairly pacy, makes good runs, good hold up player, works his arse off and is a tremendous finisher. All like you said.

    Whats not to like?

    Newcastle will reach a cup final.

    Liverpool will finish in the bottom half.

    All this. He doesn't have a stand-out strength, but he doesn't have any real weaknesses - he has a really rounded game, that's his stand-out strength. I'm still a little wary of him failing to live up to the hype but I think even if he never has a season like last year again, he should have a decent PL career.

    In our current state this isn't exactly a bold prediction and appears fairly likely.

    Not necessarily, especially for Klopp. I could see him going to Spurs, maybe even West Ham.

    He'll probably be aiming a bit higher after Dortmund. Spurs is a graveyard for managers with good reputations, especially if they get rid of Pochetino within the next year as you seem to be suggesting.

    Klopp is more likely to be Arsenal manager next year than Spurs I would say, especially if Arsenal have yet another injury crisis to key positions where they lack any cover (defence, striker, defensive midfield).

    Aston Villa will finish in the top half with the Benteke and Delph money, just like we excelled the season after we sold our superstars David Platt and Dwight Yorke and everyone thought we would be fucked.

    Yeahhhhhhhhh.

    Even though I want you to go down (or more specifically I want Allardyce to go down, I'd be happy for you to stay up if we can just relegate him personally), I hope you win against Everton now so that have nothing to play for on the weekend.
