Thor 2,718 Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Costa is extremely overrated. To me he's a physical version of Falcao i.e quality and efficient finisher, technically deficient and awful outside the 18 yard box most of the time. Harry cane on the otherhand is actually a proper footballer first and foremost. he can hold the ball up brilliantly, bring others into play, link up play well, superior technical ability and He's not only having one of the best breakthrough season ever in top flight football but also outscoring and definitely outperforming Costa, this despite being 5 years younger.Harry has a significantly better all round game and would be a much better fit for this team as he's a lot more tactically versatile. technically gifted enough to excel in a possession based team and tactically smart enough to play in a counter attacking set up. We have lacked someone that can hold the ball up and bring others into play in difficult games this season.And no doubt there will be plenty of "you are embarrassing", "I can't believe what I'm reading" "spoilt" "trolling" and other predictable and overused rhetorics but when one actually sits back, watch and analyse both players closely, look at the numbers without any blue tinted glasses. . . . . . . .So to answer the OP question yes I would swap Costa for kaneHow is he outperforming Costa? Costa has been injured throughout the season at various points, is the top scorer in the league, while playing significantly less games than Kane, etc...I'm not sure where this "outplaying while being younger" is coming from. I'm sure you have some warped view and weird reasoning though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muzchap 8,966 Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Its weird how you don't believe in your own players...its not a surprise that english players lack confidence in international level.As an England fan - who's turning 39 years old this year - I've seen my fair share of 'messiahs' Don't get me wrong - I would absolutely fucking love it if Kane became a beast of an England forward - but - I want to keep calm and not overhype the situation.The fate of the lad is in Woys hand in Internationals and Woy is a stubborn man - he might persist with Rooney as the striker It's great that this is happening and gives our Euro chances a real shot in the arm I just hope he stays grounded and doesn't follow the Adebayour route.

hjperdeath 2,226 Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Swap? Bruv, Sturridge was the previous Kane. Wonder how a Costa-Sturridge swap would turn out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stats 7,147 Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 You are crazy kane play just one season good next season you will forget who is kane.What did Kane do in the final nothing but Costa was beast.Costa is for big games but Kane is for burnley and leicester games.Rubbish. At WHL when we played Spurs, Kane was the best player on the pitch by miles and outperformed Costa. Scored 2 and assisted 2. Harry Kane single-handedly destroyed Arsenal. 2 goals. There are a lot of big games where he didn't even play when he was trusted enough to start. I think Costa is an excellent striker and I am not criticising him but you are really contradicting yourself. Costa has scored mainly against the mid-table and lower teams bar Liverpool and Arsenal where he got one a peice while Kane scored 2 against both us and Arsenal. His general performance was excellent too. If Kane had been trusted to start earlier on before MP saw sense he most probably would have scored in more big games.

You are not making sense. Come with a constructive argument rather than "that was luck". I am not suggesting Kane is better than Costa at all but trying to write off what he has achieved this season is what I find irritating. Was it luck or just pure quality when Spurs beat us and Arsenal? That was pure quality. Don't tell me otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just so we are clear, is that what you are really saying? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueLyon 9,359 Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Thank you for creating this brilliant thread. I would personaly buy Torres and Di Santo as soon as possible. I always wanted those two to compete here at the same time to see who is ''better'' at scoring goals for us. As for Kane and Costa, they arent half the players Torres and Di Santo are.And if we ever buy Kane, I hope we sign Townsend in pack because that dude is a beast. Clearly the best player in league, twice the Hazard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oscar 441 Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Kane does hold the ball up better than Costa, however, one thing a lot of you forget is that Costa is a mad dog. He brings intimidation to opposing players and the pressure.Kane, striking ability never really impressed me, even though he has a fantastic goal rate this season, but his all around game is very good. Kind of like rooney's all around game, except rooney was far superior technically..I think the fact pochetti really changed the whole midfield really helped kane a lot this season. Went from household names to hard working players instead... It will be interesting to see how well he does next season and in the future.

Know when to use your commas and full stops as well. Would make life a lot easier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
