I suppose Lineker was shit in 1986 too, given his were largely tap-ins and penalties too? Do only certain goals count?

We're in the pipe, 5 by 5
Only weirdos on here are those that confuse "I don't think he's world class" (possibly yet) with "he's shit" as if that's the only opinion one can have.

Isn’t Buendia ready to fill the Grealish void?

He's been labelled "Bang Average" which is plainly not true.

Sky Sports News has hours of time to fill, with no rights to Euros coverage, in the close season.
Of COURSE it is going to spend its time drip-feeding nonsense transfer rumours to kill time. I watched a clip of the fella talking about the White to Arsenal 'DONE DEAL'. He took over a minute to say what could be said in about 15 seconds. He pretty much repeated himself three times

Is that because he couldn't get in the starting XI?

"Villa have already made their mark in the transfer market this summer by signing Emiliano Buendia from Norwich City in a club record £33m deal while they have also had a £25m offer for Arsenal's Emile Smith-Rowe turned down.
And Villa's ambitious owners Nassef Sawaris and Wes Edens have made these moves on the basis of Grealish staying at Villa Park.
Villa finished 11th in a much-improved campaign last season after only surviving relegation on the final day the year before and regard Grealish as the key component in their plans to move forward into contention for European football.
They are determined to put together an attractive package to keep Grealish - although it looks like City will attempt to test that resolve".

This'll be the Harry Kane who is on his way to breaking both the PL scoring record and the England one? Yeah proper shit the bloke
Can't wait in this country to jump on our few stars and slaughter them. Imagine not scoring in three games for a team that's only scored two goals in the tournament? Rubbish the bloke must be, coz some of his pens 3 years ago were against crap teams and the ball went down the middle? Must be useless then.
If someone goes one on one with the German keeper Tuesday night I know who I hope it is...
Depends how you define World Class. Was Alan Shearer ever world class? in terms of technical ability probably not, in terms of putting the ball in the net, one of the greatest, in premiership terms THE greatest. Then again Andy Cole scored hatfuls of goals but football ability wise, he was a bit of a donkey....

World Class is a bit like the big club argument, very much in the eye of the beholder. For me he is topping the goalscoring charts in the PL year after year for a team a long way short of the best. Making a lot of chances for others at Spurs and scoring a lot of goals for England. Not sure what else he could do? Does he get in most of the big teams in the world? Yes he does = world class.
Subjective and debatable yes, I said bang average, with tongue in cheek, He is top drawer at scoring in the PL, but in the world, I don't think he is.

so if he went to Barca or Juventus he wouldn't get goals?
I'm sure he would, but I don't think he'd be as prolific, he's very English, I don't think he's that sophisticated a player.
Absolutely. Shocked this is even a question.
In what way?
He won the golden boot and most assists in a shit spurs team last season.
Again I disagree.
As with Grealish, the attitude of some seems to be very blue-and-white spectacle-tinted. Neither of them are on a par with Scot McGleish in terms of 'pass me my voodoo doll and some pins please'.
A clever and elegant player with a great deal to his game, but prone to unpredictable dry spells that, if he is having one now, will set him up nicely as the post-Euros scape goat.

These transfer fees are insane, yes he is good, but he is hardly one of the greats. Sure he is great at being awarded free kicks and penalties, even better when there is no contact, but 100 million pounds ffs this is getting ridiculous. I remember when Trevor Francis went for 1 million and we thought that was nuts. I looked up a couple of inflation calculators which puts TF fee at about 4.7m/5.4m in today's money.
