Interesting words from everyone's favourite pundit, Stan Collymore
"It was an exceptional all-round strike performance," Collymore said. "But where has it been all season? Is it grossly unfair on Tottenham and their fans who pay his wages that they don’t see it more.
"How can you be world-class one week, and then be just ok, within yourself, for the previous 20 games? Harry has got two years of being able to score top numbers. He is not the physical presence that Zlatan Ibrahimovic or Cristiano Ronaldo are.
"But I do wonder if he has missed the boat on a big move. If City win the Champions League this season Pep Guardiola may say actually the reason to sign Harry, that extra push for the European trophy, doesn’t apply anymore.
"Do they want to spend big, and give a five year contract to a man who is 29 before next season, or go for Erling Haaland, who would be at his peak.
"On Saturday we saw Harry finding the edge to be so good that Pep can’t ignore him next summer. But if it’s Kane or Haaland, they’ll sign Haaland and they’ll be future proofed by it. There is no way he should be 16th top scorer in the Prem.
"He would only be worth £70million this summer, and it won’t be financial restrictions that stop it. City need a striker, but it all depends on whether they can get Haaland. The next phase for City probably means looking to the next generation.
"That performance against City, brilliant though it was, showed a disrespect to Spurs for his levels in other games this season."
Whilst I mostly agree with Stan about Harry's well discussed attitude issue, I do hope that he can find some motivation from somewhere to get us as high as possible in the PL this season.
We all know what Harry can do single handedly when he crosses the white line with the right attitude. That is the few occasions that he gets into that World Class bucket.
