    "He's definitely set the standard for the rest of us and it motivates me to get even better," Kane said.
    "Hopefully one day I can score as many, if not more, than he has."

    Seems completely reasonable, to me. He probably won't reach that, but it's good that he aims that high and keeps improving.
    Kane always sets what people call unreachable levels and then somehow seems to get there.
    He caught up to Ian Wright in Premier League goals the other day, for example:

    It would sound reasonable to you because you're a spurs fan and you're not going to rag on your own players. I'd wager most football fans who aren't biased find it quite funny though.

    The bit in bold and underlined is not reasonable at all. Any football player could say that they hope to emulate someone a million times better than them. But no-one is going to reach that, least of all Kane who probably has, at best, about 6/7 seasons left of top class football and thinks he's going to score 416 more goals than Messi does in those seasons. So about 60 goals a season for 7 seasons and he'll get there. And you think that's not entirely unreasonable and that he probably won't reach that??

    What levels has Kane set that others have said he won't reach? Did he publicly say he was going to break Wright and get people saying to him that he wouldn't do it?

    A very, very good world class striker who somehow even then manages to think he's far better than he really is.

    Exactly!

    End of.

    Kane's been written off throughout his career. I'm not sure how you've managed to forget that. He still gets it now.
    First he was too **** in general, then he wasn't good enough for the Premier League, then Spurs, then England and it just went on.
    One season wonder? Doesn't score against the best teams? Can't score in August?
    There's always something that he can't do, according to his critics and then he does it and they find something else.

    The average Arsenal fan post, for example:


    He's very representative. <ok>

    Nope. Piers Morgan is as typical an Arsenal fan as you can get, other than Osama Bin Laden, of course.

    Serious question: why is Piers Morgan famous? Why does he keep getting public jobs?

    Is there anyone who doesn't think he is one of the biggest twats on the planet?

    It is in a way kinda funny! There’s no way Banjo will out score Messi or Ronaldo for that matter. They are just two exceptional footballers of the last two decades. Nothing wrong with Banjo aspiring to emulate them mind but with a large slice of tongue in cheek.

    It’ll be interesting to see how many goals Banjo scores this year from open play though.

    Penalties do count even for Ronaldo and Messi.
