I’m from England and it’s not often you see English players shine when they go to other leagues, I just wanted to know what you guys thought of him.

    Expected him to score a lot of goals.

    Checked off that box easily. In addition he brings great playmaking ability. Only negatives I’ve noticed so far is his speed (which he was never known for) and the lack of pressing up front but that might also be on Tuchel’s system

      Probably the system. Harry Kane usually has really good work rate, but he’s also been relegated to terrorist ball for the past 3 something years since poch got sacked.

      I kind of like that he’s not that fast, he isn’t depending on his speed which will drop over the next few years, he definitely has some years left at his level

      If he was fast he may not have developed his reading of the game so much.

      Klinsmann said Sheringham was the most intelligent strike partner he played with. Sheringham attributes his intelligence to his slow speed. He had to learn to be clever because was slow.
