Son Heung-min | Spurs
- Thread starter Sigma
- Start date
This one always made me chuckle with the classic sh*thousery too 
World class. City should forget Kane its Son they should be signing.
Son got City would be terrifying.
why so much hate with Son ?
this tops the list.
This guy is incredible. I get that people love Kane but I really think Son's been their best player for years now. He should be playing for Real Madrid, not Tottenham.
His sh*thousery, which rubs people the wrong way.
I don't think anyone denies how good the guy is as a player.
He’s incredible. Finishing off both feet is another level. He’s what Greenwood could’ve been.
He's excellent. I like that he doesn't try shit that he's not good at or be overly self indulgent. He knows he's excellent at being direct by using his pace and viscuous shot to score goals, and uses that to hurt teams. Sometimes, simplicity is the best. Excel consistently at what you know you are gifted at.
Greenwood could and should have become much much more. I rate Son really highly but Greenwood was a special talent.
Wish we had him.
I can say this for sure: he is the footballing pride of Asia. In fact, he’s probably even up there as the general pride of Asia. He’s seriously loved, and why not, because he’s an amazing footballer. He doesn’t even look great at times, but his efficiency in popping up with 30+ G/A season in, season out cannot be argued with.
I personally didn’t like him at all after the McTominay fiasco last season, but that went away pretty quickly to be honest. It would be pretty hypocritical to dislike him for shithousery, when Ander Herrera is still one of my favourite players since Fergie’s retirement

I think there are tons of players who are much better than him at shithousery.
Has Asian players played for real Madrid at senior level?
Would Son start for the England National Team??
Wouldn't Southgate love him(since Son's one of the best counter attackers in the world)?

No he is not way I see it while Son is good his skill set might not be suited to a team who primarily plays on the front foot and doesn't utilise counter attack as it's go to strategy while Kane wouldn't look out of place in any kind of set up and would excel everywhere .
Son scores a hattrick, and sky talked about Kane the whole time, never seen as much nonsense in my life.
Fantastic player. Really thought Rashford would turn out like him.
Rashford has everything Son has except for his mentality, maybe a coach like Conte would get it out of him.
I don't think Rashford has ever shown the kind of two footed ability that Son has. You cannot really try and herd him onto his weaker foot as a defender, because he doesn't appear to have one.
They are both rapid and play as wide forwards, I guess that is why people like to compare them.
Kane’s more consistent. Son does it in burst patches throughout the season. Part of why if you look at his stats he’s never hit a 20+ season.
A very good player, but Real Madrid standard? Yeah not sure about that.
Are you steaming? He isn’t half the player Son is.
Son been class under 3 managers now.
Don't think it's down to Conte. Weird take
He means that maybe Conte could improve Rashford's mentality.
Aye but he assuming Conte done this with Son, Son Been class for ages under 3 managers.
It's not because Conte improved his mentality.
I really don't think that is what he implied.
not funny if a woman grab your hand and touch her breasts and shouted molest..
Wtf has that got to do with cheating at football
What a gifted player, if only we had him.
He signed a new long term deal last summer which got lost in all of the Kane noise so he isn't moving anytime soon.
Get the feeling he's happy living in London and being a big player rather than more rotation at CL club although he'd start regularly for many of them.
Superb finisher on one on ones, never think he's ever going to miss when he gets in those positions.
Always suprised me given his Bundesliga experience that Bayern Munich haven't come in for him at any point, would make more impact for them than Sane for instance.
Arguably Asia's best ever footballer? I know Park won plenty but Son's had a longer peak in europe imo.

No, I'm not steaming
It's easy to feel incredulous at my statement when Son is in his peak and best form of his life, whilst Rashford is probably in the worst form of his but lest we forget that Son is 5.5 years older than Rashford. Son wasn't the player he is now when he was 24 and if you look at their respective records up to that age then they're not too dissimilar(perhaps skewed by Rashford switching between LW and ST). Having seen every single minute Son has played for Spurs and plenty of Rashford I can honestly say that in terms of sheer ability there's really not that much between them at all. Son doesn't actually have many strings to his bow, in 80% of the game he's in fact decidedly very average, thankfully for us though he's among the elite in the other, arguably most important, 20%. Technically and physically/athletically there isn't much between them, @Scroto Baggins makes a good point about Son being better off his weaker foot which makes him a dual-threat in certain situations but I'd also say Rashford's first touch, quick link-up play and close-quarter dribbling are all better than Son's - who can often look like he's trying to control an air-hockey puck.
I did qualify my statement with the suggestion that Rashford doesn't appear to have Son's mentality, a facet which is necessary for talent to flourish on a consistent basis. Maybe Rashford has just totally lost his focus and drive, or maybe he needs a change of scenery/different voice. It won't happen for many reasons(Son being one of them) but I reckon Conte would get way more out of him than what you're currently seeing.
Yeah, I don't know why he took my post that way but that's not what I was implying. My point was purely in terms of what Conte could do with a player of Rashford's ability, nothing to do with Son whose mentality has never been in question and has been playing at this level for 2-3 seasons now.
The main difference I see between the two are that one is in great form while the other is in a rut and Son has a clear drive to keep making those runs and making the most of his ability, whereas Rashford seems to be more focused on scoring PR points rather than goals. Son's positive attitude on and off the pitch are infectious as well, you could argue the same for Rashford but at the other end of the spectrum.
There is also a chance that Conte can't stand Rashford's mentality, attitude, and work rate on the field, and want to kick him out right away.
It has to be said even as a Tottenham fan for how incredible Sonny can be he is one of the streakiest footballers I have ever watched.

There is so much wrong with this post I don't even know where to start.
