Yeah like where did he come from ? Burst onto the scene from out of nowhere.
Dirk Kuyt with goals.
That header today was a thing of beauty.
I think a forward can blag being good if he can lamp the ball but that deft touch normally eludes the clogger.
Its up there with that amazing header that Mexican guy scored at the world cup a few years ago. Gorgeous it was.
Yeah 21 goals in a team not really built to feed forwards. He looks a real player.

This has been my take on it aswell. He is good and is having a brilliant season. But the English hype is all to much anyway.
He said in an interview a few weeks back something like "don't compare me yet with a young Alan Shearer, I've got s long way to go"...so therefore drawing a comparison between himself and Shearer.
He believes his own hype (and why not, he's had a great season) - pride before a fall and all that. I'm predicting a long barren spell imminently..

12 league goals, and his shots to goals to ratio is 5: 1 this season
That's not impossible to keep up, but it puts him as slightly better than the bracket of Sanchez , Aguero , Van Persie and Berahino and only behind Costa.
I'm not ready to say he's that good. We've seen others put runs together like this.
My money is on him being like most of the posters on here - he'll regress to the mean.

Yep, he's a natural goalscorer, but he's not as good as most natural goalscorers who have made it to the top echelon in the game.
I suspect he'll drop off as soon as he has one bad game & struggle to find form.
That or spurs sell him for 300m to Real Madrid before everyone realises it might not last.

A better header than this one?
So...Dirk Kuyt?
BTW his victory lap after the match yesterday was a bit much.
Calm down m8.
Calm down m8.
Hopefully he becomes like another Michael Ricketts or Darren Bent.
Hahahaha
He's clearly boss - Which is annoying as I fucking hate Spurs.
Michu
A bad comparison for a number of reasons
I've gotta drum I need to keep banging...................................
If the following 4 young players were available at the same price, the order in which I'd sign them would be.........
Ings > Austin* > Kane > Berahino
Austin and Ings would be level IMO but Austin's injury record worries me.

Did Stead score that much?
I'm trying to think of other strikers who hit double figures in the Premier League at age 21.
Andy Carroll?
I remember Stead signing in the Jan window and whilst he probably didn't hit double figures I think it would have been so if extrapolated. He was only 19/20 at the time.
I think a more realistic compariso (unfortuantley) might be Andy Cole. I watched his "Footballs Greatest" thing on Sky the other week and hadn't really realised just how much he was banging them in from a young age.
