Yeah, Bowen ahead of Kane is a wild take even by bronte's standards.

Jarrod is class.

He would be great at the Villa.

I suspect this is his last season at West Ham, might be an option in the summer

How old is Bowen now? I know he was older than I thought but can't remember exactly.

Edit: Ignore me . He 28 - 29 the week before Christmas which is older than I thought.

He is, but surely not as a striker down the middle?

Also, Kane easily can play the 'false 9' that has been mentioned. If anything, he does it a lot.

When has he performed in an international tournament for England? Has a dose of the Rooney's if anything, maybe one very good tournament and the rest rubbish. Pads out the stats in qualifiers and friendlies that England would win anyway. Tournament football is a different vibe completely. England looked a far better team when Southgate finally gave Watkins a chance in the Euros. Gave more space to their most talented players.

I think that’s been England’s downfall.  False 9 kane work best when the wide players bomb forward into the gap. We had Grealish, Saka and Foden, who prefer the ball at their feet, not played in behind.
