ITK Thread

That’s what we would say for sure

I think someone hit on it earlier. It could have been you, can't remember. I know you also referenced PSR in a different thread.

The financial year-end is 30 June. So knowing it is a 3 year rolling calculation, I guess some clubs want to get money spent before 30 June. Others will push it beyond 30 June.

Yeah it was me
But it doesn’t stack up for every club
A lot depends on the buy out period too
 
Never at any point in his life was Son a better finisher than Messi. That kills the idea of him being the best finisher in the world stoke dead.

I think this phenomenon exists because we weren't winning anything so the fans needed to latch on to something semi tangible and claiming X player is the best at something is both tangible but also largely unprovable and that's why it happens.

For clarity (I'm not arguing the point)

- Son outperformed his xG by a margin that was clear of everyone else in Europe for several years (including Kane, Lewa, etc.)
- The distribution (two footedness) of his goals were right up there as well.

The guy was an elite level finisher, was he the absolutely best? no, but he was quite close.

Son, unfortunately like Kane (until he moved) will have his numbers skewed by not playing for an elite side, an old (not prime) Kane has scored 62 goals in 63 league games for Bayern (that is Messi/Ronaldo output), a prime Kane scored 213 in 317 for Spurs. Put prime Son in the Liverpool or City sides of last 7 years, no one would be asking if he's an elite finisher ..
