Kane now 21 ahead of the next leading goal score on 21:22 - Sep 9 with 1913 views | FrimleyBlue | I get why But I also don't know why we still see him playing for England. He's not the future. We keep hearing there's no one to replace him yet we don't allow anyone else to lead the line in these games. Fair play for what he's done in an England shirt but personally I just think it's time to use someone else and develop someone else in that role esp when you're playing pub teams it's the ideal time. |  |

Serbia are not a pub team! I agree for the friendlies and Andorra games though. |  |

Think he lets a lot of the younger players do most of the running around him these days. But he's a very intelligent player. The way he ghosts deep and pulls defenders around to create gaps. You are right, he's not the future. But he's still part of the present, imo. Keeps chipping away at the goals tally. And has a huge presence in that England squad. Big boots to fill for anyone coming through. And I can't say that any of the back ups are anywhere near Kane's level atm. Delap touted as a possible "next best thing" for the future, last season. But he's got a long way to go yet for me. |  | |  |
Kane now 21 ahead of the next leading goal score on 23:27 - Sep 9 with 1655 views | pelles321 | I also feel that the amount of international football now played does de-value being your countries all time leading scorer. Memphis Depay has just become Netherlands all time leading scorer. Fair play to him, but I doubt he’d get on the bench for Netherlands greatest ever team. Sometimes the context is needed for the records. |  | |  |
Kane now 21 ahead of the next leading goal score on 06:30 - Sep 10 with 1235 views | RIPbobby | He has done well since the euros. Personally I thought he'd never wear the shirt again. Then again the qualifiers are seeded so we always face lousy sides. So they are much easier than tourney football. Perhaps he should be back tracked for the world cup. Assuming Mr Delap develops this season. |  | |  |

One of your worst takes of all time. 40 goals and 13 assists across 49 games in Bundesliga, CL and Club world cup last season. What exactly do you want him to do? Do we bin off any player over 30? No 32 year old is the future but he's a world class striker who will be 33 at the start of the world cup. Who do we bench him for? 29 year old Watkins? 29 year old Saudi league Toney? Maybe by the 2028 Euros someone like Delap will have dethroned him as England's starting striker but it's not happening before the world cup. Absolute madness. |  |

It's not a strong view in that in saying drop from the squad but with these sort of games having him on the bench. I just feel that many say we don't have an option if kane gets injured. But u don't see how we can get an option for England if we won't start another striker |  |

Surely the qualification cycle is about planning for the next tournament. If Tuchel didn't think Kane would be good enough to lead the line at the next World Cup then it would be stupid to be playing him now. But if he's going to be first-choice striker, it makes sense to play him in the competitive games and give him the chance to build and strengthen relationships with the players behind him. |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

So basically anyone over 30 shouldn’t play because they’re not the future? |  |

Kane is a world class striker who, in my opinion at least, should have left Spurs a few seasons earlier than what he did. I don’t really understand what you mean by saying that he isn’t the future. International football is all about the here-and-now. Coaches of the big international sides plan for the qualifying rounds and then the tournaments themselves. It’s on a two-year cycle and then if they are still in post, plan for the next tournament. If Kane gets injured he’ll be replaced by an experienced club striker, who at that level should have the footballing intelligence and ability to slot in. It’s not like we’ll have to turn to an inexperienced teenager. |  | |  |

Not quite not playing. I guess more bench placement across internationals. I appreciate and accept all replies to my post about the next tournament etc. But if kane for example gets injured.. we haven't primed a replacement if we just keep selecting kane as the starting striker. That's what I mean by it. |  |

At that level, players shouldn’t need to be primed. They might well not be as good as Kane but they would all be experienced strikers who have played for big clubs in the PL. |  | |  |

Yeah I get that, but being an experienced striker and playing with england with a varied rotation of players isnt just something imo you can just jump into. It's not really about being the next Kane, we may not have one for a while, not even Delap depending on his injury which there's crazy rumours about, but anyway, i just don't agree that these games should always see Kane starting, rotating for sure, imo |  |

Kane now 21 ahead of the next leading goal score on 14:50 - Sep 10 with 258 views | Vaughan8 | This "Kane is past it" seems to be the new thing to say. Yes he's getting older, but he's still England's main striker. Who else would you play? The only other main striker in the squad was Watkins. For games like Andorra, It would be preferable for someone else to get a chance, BUT presumably Kane wants to play to score more goals. |  | |  |

Players develop at their clubs - now if Kane wasn’t playing regularly then I could well understand why people will criticise his selection. But he’s playing regularly and he’s the striker that other international sides will fear. It’s up to Delap etc to continuously push Kane in order to become the main striker. |  | |  |
