Can't help but being a little jealous at this spurs side. Quality throughout, great manager and great young British players....not to mention scoring for fun.
To put Kanes achievements into perspective... If he manages 20 Premier League goals this year he will be joining the below list.
20+ Goals in PL era:
5 seasons in a row - Thierry Henry..................(1/2-5/6)
4 seasons in a row - Alan Shearer...................(93/94-96/97)
3 seasons in a row - Ruud van Nistelrooy..........(1/2-3/4)
Only 5 players have managed to score 20+ goals in 3 seasons total in the PL era:
Alan Shearer (7 seasons)
Thierry Henry (5 seasons)
Ruud van Nistelrooy (4 seasons)
Les Ferdinand, Sergio Agüero (3 seasons)
It would be one hell of an accomplishment for him to do at the age of 23 and shows the caliber of striker he is.
Henry doing it for 5 seasons running is pretty ridiculousYou can add him to both lists now.

Indeed, he was a monster. Although I think Shearers record is even more impressive given he was at Blackburn and Newcastle.
It was almost like he saved it for the big occasions. He also really was a great hold-up striker to link players in - a fairly impressive 54 league assists.This is likely to be offtopic but how come Drogba's goalscoring record isn't that impressive?
His first couple of season I think, he wasn't scoring that much. He became better the year we won the league (06/07 IIRC)This is likely to be offtopic but how come Drogba's goalscoring record isn't that impressive?
Greizmann Kane Mbappe
Make it happen Jose
Simply a very good striker. Doubters will remain about who he's scoring against and when he scores but ultimately it misses the point that over the course of a season he will consistently score goals regardless.
I don't think anyone would have complained if he had scored against all those teams who drawed with us at OT.
It would be a shame if he ended up as a Matt LeTissier type, phenomenal striker who never won anything due to his local aliegencies.
Agreed Colin.
He missed about 3 months of the season in total too
Yep, after some initial scepticism, I'm pretty convinced now.Taken me a while but now I do believe he's the next Shearer.
They'd never accept that.Id happily see us throw 120m at spurs for Kane and Dele.
