Kane for the Ballon d’Or?

The strongest argument for Kane is that he combines volume with consistency, which is usually what separates a great season from a merely impressive one. The weakness in the debate is that people are still trying to force a trophy narrative onto a year where no candidate has completely separated themselves.
 
The tactical part of it is what makes Kane stand out for me because he is not just standing on the last line waiting for tap ins he is dropping in linking play bringing others into it and still getting into the box to finish chances which is a nightmare for defenders because you never really know where to pick him up and in a year where so many players have had flashes but not that full season control he looks like the most complete attacking option
 
mad how every time a Bayern lad says something the internet acts like the football police have arrived when really hes just saying the obvious and half the replies are people trying to sound clever while saying nothing at all
 
It is hard not to see why people are backing him when the season is being judged on actual output rather than vibes. Still, the award always turns into a popularity contest the moment a clear favourite emerges imo
