You can be a top scorer - but also a liability to your team - not saying Kane is - he is clearly not, but it is a team sport - individual accolades should be the cherry on top of the cake - not the cake.

I just think that's naive in today's world of sport
We have players nowadays who fully admit to not even loving the sports they play, simply viewing it as a job
Ideally everyone would love to be Ryan Giggs (on the field, very clearly on the field and not off) and be a 1 club man who literally wins everything
But in all the different careers available, we know that for plenty of players its $$$$ that matters, its trophies for some, how can it not be expected individual glory is for others?
Some players choose to play for a mid table prem club over one that can challenge for trophies outside one of the top 5 leagues, how's that any different
