Harry Kane statue

[Im_not_Robbie_Blake]

It's diabolical, like most statues these days!
Looks like a member of an alien species who are human-like in some ways.

I was assuming it was somebody's GCSE Art exam project.

Yes diabolical is the word

[Fretters]

When I saw him sitting on a bench, I thought it was Manuel Benson.

[AGENT_CLARET]

The main question should be what's he ever won in his career to have a statue made

[CoolClaret]

Strange isn't it how the Greeks and Romans could literally chisel perfect replicas to high detail yet 2,000-3,000 years later with CNC machinery and all the technological advancements they keep coming out with crap like that?

[HahaYeah]

To put it another way, what has he done to deserve that?

[Tw@]

That is shockingly bad

[yTib]

looks like a T-1000 version of herman munster.

[Bosscat]

Almost as bad as this marvel of bronze

To be fair we have had a few statues as strikers over the years.

[Buxtonclaret]

Really do hope Jimmy's looks an awful lot better when they do his.

Roaul Moat?

[Bigvince]

Is it made of chocolate?

[beddie]

It doesn’t even look like him. I’d be up in arms if I was a local rate payer. What a waste of money.

[Bigvince]

Carnt be him anyway, his mouth is closed!

[aclaretinstevenage]

My God! that is truly awful. As said Council Tax payers can't be happy with having to pay for such rubbish.

[Bosscat]

Roaul Moat?

Phil Jones modeled for it

Carnt?

[elwaclaret]

Change the plinth and it would look great outside the public conveniences in the town.

[Bigvince]

Carnt?

Ooops

[Bosscat]

Iam sure have seen "Carnt" mentioned on here before

Yeah, but how do we know the statue of Julius Caesar is spot on!!? Maybe Julius actually looked more like Ian Dowie in real life!

[CoolClaret]

Ha, touché. You know what I mean!

[karatekid]

Maybe a statue of a local war hero would be more fitting.

[GetIntoEm]

Stick a rainbow flag on it, someone will snap it up

Golden boot 3 times

[CrosspoolClarets]

It looks more like Gascoigne than the guy who has never won anything and blew his chance to do it with England. And I’m thinking of the 60 year old Gazza with that grey beard.

[Mark the Claret]

Don't know who the statues modelled on, but Kane looks like one of Beavis and Butthead.

...it's not that good!

We'll worth a statue then

[claretonthecoast1882]

As an easter egg it is better than your standard bunny

[Falcon]

Pay £7k for a statue and that's what you get.

Yes £7k is a lot for a council to spend but it isn't a lot for a statue. I'm sure Julius Caesar employed a master craftsman to make his by hand.

[Hipper]

If only that were true. It would soon be eaten.

(this thought stolen from the film 'Sitting Pretty' where a woman who fancied herself as a sculptress had made a snowman and asked the pompous hero what he thought of it. 'Oh well, it will soon melt' he replied.)

[bfcjg]

I think the sculptor got his Kane and Caine mixed up.

The proportions of his feet don't look right somehow.

Scored more goals for England than anybody.

[HahaYeah]

To deserve such a shite statue I mean.

[Rileybobs]

Ah I see, I don’t think anyone deserves that to be honesy. My post should have been in response to agent claret in that case.

My attempt at humour could have been clearer to be fair.

Not at all, I skim read and misinterpreted!

[Boss Hogg]

Awful. Looks like a kid has made it out of plasticine. Who commissioned the sculptor and how much did they pay him ! It’s crap

Niall Quinn is very highly thought of.

[bfcjg]

I'd have played the bloody statue tonight.
