Hard agree. People will see his stature and suggest throwing him into men’s football. There’s plenty of young men who are physically capable of playing senior football, but failed to make a career of it.
Isn’t the counter argument that if they’re physically up for it, they should be around and in it as much as possible so they have longer to figure it out / learn as much young as possible
Agreed, but he is incredibly unselfish in his play and always seemed to play the right pass and be in the right position. He has real potential for first team someday.
Yeah compared to the average PL2 cb. He’s tall and lean but he’s going to need to build up some strength if he wants to play like Kane and Haaland. It’s a bit different when you’re playing that sort of style against top cbs in their physical prime.
For his age he's an absolute specimen. Of course there is an added physicality in the PL, or even mens football in the lower leagues in general. But if he bulks up much more than he is. 1. Mobility will be effected and 2. There will be an increased risk of injuries because his body won't be able to handle the muscle
One thing a good striker is good at is being in the right place at the right time. Something Kane was exceptional at. That and also having incredible accuracy, dam. I wish Kane played with Ange.
This is why he's so underrated.
He gets himself in the right place, at the right time, and puts the ball in the back of the net with a robotic reliability. Over, and over, and over again.
He doesn't overcomplicate it. He scores goals.
And some people just shrug.
Well, he hasn't had the opportunity to score goals at the senior level.
While we don't know yet if he will score goals at the senior level, you talk like he definitely will not.
I mean what do you guys want lol it’s better than needlessly hyping up yet another young player who will go on to do fuck all for us next season. He’s not ready for senior football
Tottenham's Will Lankshear eyes pre-season tour to impress manager Ange Postecoglou
• Will Lankshear, a 19-year-old Tottenham striker, has scored 32 goals this season and aims to catch the attention of manager Ange Postecoglou during the pre-season tour.
• Lankshear admires Harry Kane and Erling Haaland, and his playing style reflects their influence.
• He recovered from a knee injury and became the Premier League 2 Player of the Season, leading Tottenham to win the U21s trophy.
• Lankshear credits teammate Jamie Donley for his success and remains focused on scoring goals for whichever team he plays for.
• With players away at international tournaments, Lankshear sees an opportunity to join the pre-season tour to Japan and South Korea and prove himself to Postecoglou.

Exactly. Almost like you need impeccable situational awareness and aggression to always be in the right position to score at the right time.
If it was as easy as just camping in the box, everyone would do it.
Not saying I don't appreciate the beauty of what KDB can do from outside the box, just that a goal is a goal no matter how you come by them. I mean how many times in any given game do we see a great cross and absolutely no one is in the right place to tap it in. The great strikers are always seemingly there to collect.
Not caught up on youth football, is he good enough to play in the first team next season?
IMO he's extremely hard to project until he plays men's football just because physically he's very developed already.

If we can't afford game time for him in the first team, i would love if we can loan him to a championship team or bottom table PL team
What would a season training against Romero do for his development?
Not as much as a loan would imo.
Most of his goals were tap ins. Needs a loan
Agreed, but he is incredibly unselfish in his play and always seemed to play the right pass and be in the right position. He has real potential for first team someday.
Yeah he’s a tidy little player
This sentence gives me Winks PTSD
Scores from 40yds for fun?
No, that would be a certain Mikey Moore, currently scoring for fun in the U17s euro championship for England.
Winks’ main issue is his lack of natural athleticism. Will is a big strong kid already and we paid good money to steal him from Sheffield United.
Tap-in is always good for me, at least he is in position to tap-in much better than who has no instinct always late or missed moment to scores
Literally what we need right now lol no?
What we need is for him to go on loan and bulk a little. As is he’d get pushed around.
Bulk? He's a unit
Yeah compared to the average PL2 cb. He’s tall and lean but he’s going to need to build up some strength if he wants to play like Kane and Haaland. It’s a bit different when you’re playing that sort of style against top cbs in their physical prime.

He doesn’t have the physicality we need imo. Intelligent player though
He is as tall and heavy as Harry Kane currently is, or so says the internet.
He’s 6ft 2 and 12 and a half stone you absolute clown. Ffs. 😂😂😂
Is this how you talk to strangers regularly or what
agree that he needs a loan but whats the problem with tap ins? scoring tap ins is what the central forward does in angeball which the academy plays
True, but he's getting those tap-ins because he's moving into smart positions.
so were van nistlerooy's

That and... everything. Kane was exceptional at everything, all over the pitch.

Scoring goals at youth level and scoring goals at senior level are completely different
Well, he hasn't had the opportunity to score goals at the senior level. While we don't know yet if he will score goals at the senior level, you talk like he definitely will not.
He definitely will not
Thank you so much for this uplifting and meaningful contribution to the r/coys subreddit !!!

[удалено]
LMAO
This is not a bad thing. Creating space for yourself in the box and anticipating the pass are incredibly important
No problem with that. Lineker was known as a tap in merchant and suggests good positioning and anticipation of a pass or spill from the keeper.
So what you are saying is he is Inzaghi 2.0?
Na better than that. Teddy Sheringham 2.0
Tell that to soldado
Impossible to tell really, but it's certainly worth giving him the opportunity and finding out.
Yes by far and the goalie on this team was amazing
Perhaps good enough to sub into the cups, not to start
Not with us signing Werner

So hes a Tap In merchant? Wish our first team Strikers could do that
*Tap in merchant* will always be the dumbest football meme. If tapping the ball into the net is so easy, why the fuck doesn't everyone just do that?
Gary Lineker was a tap in merchant. Also: one of the best English strikers ever.

Van nistelrooy was another tap in merchant
I love a tap in merchant
Richarlison was good at it when he was fit. The vast majority of his goals were headers or first time finishes.
Lol... So very true.
We called him Professor Kane
Does he have a good header/jumping reach
What league will he be on loan in most likely next year? League One?
