On October 11, legendary English striker Alan Shearer updated his personal column, stating that Kane should win the Ballon d'Or this year.

Kane should win the Ballon d'Or this year

I believe Kane should win the Ballon d'Or this year. Yamal has time on his side, doesn't he? Kane doesn't, and this might be his last chance. His statistics over the last 12 months have been extraordinary, so if I were choosing the Ballon d'Or winner, I would pick Kane.

I know Yamal is an exceptional player with remarkable talent, and I also know that Spain won the Euros, and typically, players who achieve success for their national team and win major trophies receive the Ballon d'Or. So I understand why Yamal is a strong candidate, but ultimately, I still support Kane.

Kane needs to win a major international tournament to be considered England's greatest player of all time

I wouldn't say Kane is the greatest player in English history; it's difficult to make that claim. I'm one of his biggest supporters, but if he wins the Euros, then the answer is yes. However, right now, I think Bobby Charlton deserves that title more.

Of course, Kane's performances are extraordinary; at his age, he delivers exceptional displays every time he plays for England. He's still playing at the highest level, but I feel that, for now, England's greatest player of all time should be Bobby Charlton, not Harry. If England wins a trophy in the future, that would change.

On the national team's congested schedule and frequent injuries

This is a positive international break for England, but injuries are unavoidable. We've never had an international break like this before; this is the first three-week international break we've had. The fact that Tuchel has had so much time with the players and could conduct training sessions on the pitch that weren't previously possible is reflected in their performances. From England's perspective, this is positive.

However, from a Premier League perspective, there's always the feeling that players are constantly away from their clubs, and many of them also played in the World Cup, where they had three to four weeks of rest. Then they return and play five Premier League matches before starting international fixtures again. This rhythm is quite intense and relentless for them.

So you'll always have this debate, and it's not surprising. Unless the authorities start listening to players, coaches, and analysts, we'll continue to face injury problems, as we've already seen.

On Manchester City's strengthened financial fair play charges

Manchester City's situation isn't good for football. I think the length of this dispute will be a cause for concern, and if it drags on too long, the entire league could be affected. This not only damages the entire Premier League but the sport itself. The issue must be resolved as quickly as possible, but currently, it doesn't seem to be moving fast. Manchester City will say they're not guilty and have vowed to fight the charges, but that's precisely why the matter needs to be resolved.

Can you imagine? If Manchester City is still at the top of the league after Christmas, what kind of spectacle would that be? The chaos and confusion—have you thought about it? Punishment must be administered as quickly as possible, whether it's for one season or three, four, or five years. Some action must be taken to remedy the situation, because this is clearly not a good look.

If there are 115 guilty charges, and you look at what happened to Everton and Nottingham Forest, then you understand that Manchester City's situation is far more serious. Everyone knows my views on the PSR and SCR rules; I've mentioned them many times. But you can't let some clubs follow the rules while others don't. So, whatever punishment is ultimately handed down to Manchester City, they must accept it.

It's difficult to predict what will happen to Manchester City's players right now, because psychologically, they don't know what will happen in the future, and they're simply sitting and waiting for the outcome. I imagine they've already spoken with their agents, and whether this affects their performance and whether it will create a siege mentality remains to be seen.

Newcastle United must create more scoring opportunities if they want to succeed this season

I think Newcastle United have had a fairly good start to the season, and their performances have met my expectations. However, I believe this will be an inconsistent season, and I feel what they most need to improve is their ability to create chances and find someone who can score crucial goals for the team. So far this season, they can score, but I'm not sure how you can consistently score goals with limited attacking opportunities.

Overall, it's been a decent start. But with young, inexperienced players and a young manager, I think Newcastle United will have a fluctuating season. I haven't changed my view, and I still expect The Magpies to finish between 10th and 14th place.

Wissa needs to score more goals

Overall, Wissa has performed well this season, and you can see a clear difference compared to last season. Last season, due to injury, we didn't see him play at his full potential, but I think overall, he's been of some help to Newcastle United. However, he still needs to score more goals.

I know he sometimes plays as a number 10, and I'm not criticizing his work rate at all; I think he works very hard. But he also needs to score more goals in matches.

As for Fernández-Pardo, I think he certainly has potential and ability. So far, I've only seen him play a few matches, and it's too early to draw conclusions about whether he's a true center forward. I'll reserve judgment for now, but at the moment, he doesn't look like a genuine center forward.

On the return of Burn and Joelinton

I think it will be quite challenging to throw Burn and Joelinton straight into action against Coventry. After all, they've been out for a while, and I would be very surprised if they started, but their return is a tremendous addition. Joelinton had injury issues previously, but I think having two experienced players back, especially two who understand Premier League football and with so many young players in the squad, will be a huge benefit for Newcastle United.

I'm very interested to see how Joelinton performs without Tonali and Guimarães, and how he'll integrate into our midfield. We know what he can do at his best; he's a very, very difficult midfielder to face—extremely aggressive—but he'll also bring valuable experience to the midfield.
