GRAEME SOUNESS: In Germany they name them HOLLYWOOD FC. Bayern Munich transfer is field workplace for Harry Kane… PLUS what Declan Rice should enhance to be an important participant

Harry Kane should jump at the chance to join Bayern Munich. You don’t should be a nuclear scientist to take a look at where Tottenham are right now and realise nothing goes to vary for him there within the subsequent 5 years.

I don’t imagine staying at Spurs to interrupt the Premier League goalscoring file is a precedence, both. Ought to he simply stick round and end his profession and not using a trophy, is that what individuals actually assume?

At Bayern, he will win trophies, probably even the Champions League – that isn’t going to occur at Spurs. Sure, he may retire having beaten Alan Shearer’s record, however there could be nothing else by means of silverware.

I feel it’s a sensible transfer for each him and Bayern. He can be becoming a member of a European large, often called ‘FC Hollywood’ in their very own nation, and they’re getting a supreme goalscorer who can be decided to show he has made the correct resolution. I feel he’ll rating much more targets for them.

However aside from the soccer, will probably be essentially the most unimaginable training for him, his spouse and younger kids. Bavaria is without doubt one of the most lovely components of Germany and Munich is a good metropolis. He’ll have a beautiful life-style and can come again a greater, extra well-rounded human-being. He’ll have a really totally different head on his shoulders, like I did once I got here again from Italy. You embrace their tradition and see how totally different individuals dwell. For me, it’s win-win all spherical, for him and his household.

I say all of this, having had curiosity proven in me by Bayern once I was at Liverpool. I used to be injured for our League Cup closing replay towards West Ham at Villa Park in 1981. I used to be in a company field watching the sport behind glass and likewise there was Uli Hoeness, who was Bayern’s common supervisor. He requested me if I might be keen on becoming a member of Bayern in the future. I thanked him however defined that I didn’t wish to go away Liverpool, for anybody. For a Latin participant, Barcelona or Actual Madrid could have been the largest pull, however for a northern European, Liverpool was the No.1.

In a special time, perhaps a couple of years later, I might have been very . In 1984, I joined Sampdoria in Italy, the place all the greatest gamers on this planet had been. So, I do know what a constructive impression a transfer overseas can have in your profession and life expertise. That’s why I’m saying Harry shouldn’t assume twice.

May he have left Spurs and stayed in England? I’m unsure on each fronts whether or not Harry would have wished that, or Spurs would have allowed it. Manchester United had been available in the market for a striker this summer time, however time isn’t his good friend. He’s 30 years outdated. Are Man United going to win the Premier League or Champions League subsequent 12 months? No.

And Spurs’ board wouldn’t desire a fixed reminder of Harry grabbing headlines by scoring targets for an additional English membership, and even towards them. His loss will go away them in a troublesome sufficient place as it’s, with out having him as a rival.

Spurs have a brand new supervisor, Ange Postecoglou, however there doesn’t appear to be any apparent change within the path of journey for that membership, a brand new plan. Simply one other supervisor, extra of the identical. He’s obtained a giant job on, too, as we’ve seen with Antonio Conte and Jose Mourinho – and these are guys who’ve managed one of the best gamers on the greatest golf equipment on this planet.

The board can have £100million to interchange Harry, and so they’ll want all of that and extra to get a striker who can rating 15 to twenty targets a season. After they bought Gareth Bale for precisely the identical quantity in 2013, they thought they had been being sensible by bringing in seven new gamers earlier than Bale had gone. However they blew most of that on pups, with Christian Eriksen being the exception.

Spurs are a traditional case of non-football individuals making massive soccer selections. They get it constantly unsuitable. Nothing goes to vary there anytime quickly.

To be nice, Rice has to attain extra targets

Is Declan Rice an important participant? Not but, however he might be, if he can enhance on these two crucial elements of being a world-class midfielder.

Firstly, he wants to attain extra targets. Secondly, he has to make that cute, intelligent move ahead to create probabilities for others, as a substitute of being content material to go sq. and protected. Sadly, I’m unsure they’re qualities that may be coached.

For those who had come to look at us practice at Liverpool in a small-sided sport, the constant factor Ronnie Moran and Joe Fagan shouted at us time and again was, ‘Play it ahead!’. The fashionable participant appears extra obsessive about move completion, they get away with homicide.

Declan Rice should enhance two crucial elements to be a world-class midfielder

To this point within the Premier League, Rice has averaged lower than two targets a season and fewer than two assists a season. He’s able to getting extra, particularly now he’s amongst higher gamers, however I feel it is perhaps a mindset challenge. He appears pleased to carry out his defensive duties, which he does excellently, however that is just one a part of being a midfield participant.

Arsenal, in comparison with West Ham, will spend extra time attacking and within the closing third. Rice can be patrolling the realm 25 yards from objective. When he will get the ball, the best way the pitches are at present, he needs to be getting it out of his ft and putting on objective. He needs to be considering, ‘I’m adequate to make the goalkeeper work from right here’. He doesn’t try this sufficient. That’s an apparent factor he has to enhance on. It comes again to what I stated about his mindset.

Mikel Arteta gained’t must spend any greater than 5 minutes telling him what he must do defensively. It’s all there. He covers floor. He breaks issues up. He senses hazard. He has that aspect of the sport boxed off. I feel in the future he could grow to be a centre-half however, proper now, together with his power, he’s greatest deployed in midfield. That could be a dialogue for additional down the road in his profession.

Arsenal have signed him as a midfielder, and that’s the reason Arteta has to get to work on making Rice a extra decisive and ruthless participant after they’re attacking, one who backs himself to grow to be extra of a objective risk.

That is Arsenal. They wish to win the league and problem Manchester Metropolis. You gained’t try this with out midfield gamers chipping in with targets. I don’t purchase the argument that defensive midfielders don’t want to attain targets, both.

I’ve heard individuals say the addition of Rice can be well worth the 5 factors Arsenal must make up on Metropolis, primarily based on final season’s standings. I’m sorry, it doesn’t work like that. Soccer has by no means been an actual science.

Rice will make Arsenal higher, little doubt. However how a lot better? Metropolis dropped numerous foolish factors final season – they might simply have one other 12 months the place they transcend 90 factors. It’s not so simple as saying Rice will make the distinction.

The £100m switch charge is an unimaginable sum of money, however I’m positive he’ll cope with that. You additionally must issue within the longevity. He might be a giant participant for Arsenal for the following decade, if he can keep away from severe damage. They’re signing a participant who has an excellent angle. There may be a lot to love about him. He cares. He has an important dynamic together with his team-mates and supporters. He’s a sound character, I’m positive of that.

The problem for him is so as to add targets and assists to his sport – and solely then will we be speaking about one of many nice midfield gamers in world soccer.

Properly finished, Simon

My Mail Sport colleague Simon Jordan revealed on talkSPORT this week that he’s recovering from prostate cancer, and has now expanded on that in our pages.

I don’t assume he realises how a lot good he has finished by going public together with his information. I’m positive there at the moment are loads of males up and down the nation who can be getting checked out due to his phrases on the radio.

He needs to be patting himself on the again for making that announcement. I want him all one of the best in his restoration.
