But I like Harry Kane's robustness and where Harry Kane's come from as well. He dropped down into the lower leagues and learnt his trade on loan.

Stadium tunnels are often tight and filled with testosterone. With that combination of a confined space and emotions running high you get the ideal scenario for confrontation.
That's something that drives me on - wanting to prove people wrong. Because the amount of people who have told me, 'no, you're not good enough.' A lot of people fall at that hurdle. But I just kept getting up and looking for that one person who said yes.
It is well-documented that Bournemouth like to play football. I think I can give them a slightly different dimension when the ball goes into the box.
I think health is the most important thing.
Teams full of talent and top-flight experience know when to engage a tackle at crucial times, when to compete in an aerial duel or seize on a chance - often resulting in the net rippling.
I've had the privilege of playing in our top seven leagues and the main differences when stepping up are organisation, athleticism and decisiveness. Believe me, the gap is even more evident when you achieve the holy grail of the Premier League.
I feel every time I score I prove people wrong. People doubt me all the time. They do that to all players but for me it's, 'He's too slow, he's too old.' It annoys those people every time I score and it drives me on.
I had four great years at Palace but just felt it was the right time to start a new chapter of my career.
If you stop learning at any time, you start to fall down the leagues.
Most things in life you can work for or buy. But I can't guarantee a goal... And when it comes, I can't give that feeling to anyone. Only I can feel it and know it. I want my children, my wife and people close to me to have that feeling. But I can never give them that.
Winning and scoring at places like Chelsea is what you grow up dreaming of, so doing so with Bournemouth was a moment to cherish.
I take heart from players around me.
Let's face it, when you're a striker and the coach is playing you at left-back you know your time is up.
Players want a manager you feel in your gut you want to play for - they can have the best tactics and philosophy in the world but if you have lost a player in his heart or head, you have lost him in every other department.
It took me a little bit of time in the Premier League. I came back from an ACL and got one goal in I think six months at Crystal Palace. It wasn't great but I got to grips with the Premier League, started to understand what it's about because it's very different to the lower leagues.
Playing in America led to me getting a chance. Kicking around in the non-leagues I was going nowhere so I'm glad I did it.
As far as I am concerned I just want to play games, score as many goals as possible, wherever that may be.
Scoring goals is the best feeling in the world. It's a habit. It's a drug. Everybody runs away in the playground pretending they've scored in front of thousands of people. I do that for real.
And I'm not the kind of person to just sit around.
It's always nice to go and play the big teams at the big stadiums.
I never imagined I'd make it in the Football League.
Players at the top level are generally more athletic, stronger and more thoughtful. They have a quicker turn of pace but more than anything they're clinical and decisive in their actions.
Managers can sometimes hold players back for their own benefit.
I am just a normal bloke. I take my kids to parties, put the bins out.
If there is ever one thing you learn as a professional footballer, you have a lot of critics and you have the chance to silence your critics.
I've added to my abilities since moving to Bournemouth. You are always having to re-learn how to be a centre-forward as the game is moving forward.
Scoring a goal is the best thing in the world because it's the only thing you can't control or predict.
Obviously we've got a lot of science behind football these days and we've got a lot of people that can advise us on how best to look after our bodies.
Anyone who's kicked a ball with their mates and played for their local club knows the buzz of being part of a team, playing without fear or pressure.
As a teenager, I was in the Carlisle schoolboy scheme and while I was excited to join at first, I look back on it as a tough few years.
No two managers are the same and I believe how players are man-managed on a daily basis has a huge influence on their performance on the field.
I watched 'Match of the Day' growing up every week and I'm talking until I was 29-years-old.
The Championship is a really tough league with a huge prize at the end of it.
I had some great years at Palace, got supported really well by the fans.
When Carlisle released me, I felt as though the dream of being a footballer was over.
I know hotel life sounds good but, believe me, it grows old when you have eaten the menu ten times over and you know you've stayed too long when you're on first-name terms with the staff.
I'd rather walk off the park with two goals instead of one.
We know the English market is quite high and I think that sometimes puts clubs off. I think there is a lot of hype around the Premier League.
Football can give everyone who loves the game their great moments and most dreadful disappointments. All it takes is a couple of bad injuries or decisions to turn a season and that's just the unforgiving nature of sport.
All goals are amazing. But scoring away from home, if I am honest, is extra special.
I must be rubbish as I can only play one sport.
Everyone just plays football, don't they? It is just part of life in England. Once I started I just totally got the bug and never lost it.
When a club shows interest and a manager wants you it is always nice.
Chelsea is a club I've always had a soft spot for as they have kept faith with playing a traditional strong and physical No. 9.
Do I do yoga? Yeah.
When you're a kid football is, and should be, sheer enjoyment.
Eddie Howe was the most tactical manager I have worked under.
Tactics, gameplan and players are all influential in how a team performs but the question is how to manage every individual in your charge and get them to play like a finely tuned orchestra.
To play week in, week out is all I care about.
