Ex-Spurs Player Harry Kane

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

I used to think the same thing about fancy passes until I started watching KDB a lot. He tries a ton of complex passes that often don't come off, and yet he's lauded for it because when they do, the results are superb. A lot of Kane's assists this season have come from those excellent, ambitious passes.
i agree, but i feel kane does it sometimes in situations where he just shouldnt. you cant try that ambitious pass all the time, or if you do they better come off a hell of a lot otherwise youll frustrate your team mates if you keep giving away possession when theres team mates free. KDB also plays a lot of nice simple football and senses when to hit them passes imo.
 
Seems like everyone and his dog has got the opinion that H should leave, it's becoming a national pastime. Haven't they got anything else better to do? Really getting on my nerves now.

The level of disrespect is unreal. Frankly I think the club should come out and tell everyone to go fuck themselves and that Kane ain’t for sale, no ifs or buts.
 
People keep saying 'no one can afford him'. Barca or Real can ALWAYS get financing. ALWAYS.

Bayern could get him, but I think they won't go for him.

Sadly, City, United or Chelsea could also get him. Of those, I think he'd go to City. City = guaranteed trophies and big trophies. Also, De Bruyne + Kane in the same team should probably be illegal. It's basically a cheat code.

He wouldn't have to score 2 or 3 each week just to get a draw, because he wouldn't have a bunch of absolute fucking morons behind him.
Mpabbe seems to be the main target for Real and talk of Aguerro to Barcelona. The scale of the debt and money problems at both of those clubs is mind boggling.
 
Who are they Mrs Perryman Mrs Perryman ?

As a gentlemen of relatively tender years I would say Kane is the best I've seen at Spurs in my lifetime. On history I would have him within the top ten for sure, and maybe top five. It's only the lack of material success (trophies) holding him back, imho.

Better players (or at least did more at Spurs)? IMHO

Mackay
Greaves
Blanchflower
Hoddle
Perryman
Jennings
C Jones
Ardiles

And I think a few of those are pretty debatable.
I think that if snowkarl snowkarl had quantified the statement as you did, in stating that he was the best in your lifetime, I wouldn't have commented.
I just get a bit peeved when people seem to dismiss 140 years of history and only recall the last ten or so.
Although I never saw anyone before 1967, think John White, Alan Gilzean, Ron Burgess and Vivian Woodward would make my list too :)

I’d imagine Haaland is Number 1 target for Citeh. If they don’t get Haaland, it’s a possibility.

Can’t imagine PSG would enthuse him that much. An utterly shit, one horse league, even if there is to be aberration this season. PSG will be back winning that by 20 points next season. It would
Be a bit like Graham Roberts or Richard Gough leaving us back in the 1980’a to go to Rangers.

Haaland will probably move next summer, has a release clause that comes live then.

I don't think there will be many big transfers this summer. Maybe Sancho to Utd and Grealish to City.
 
Unfortunately, the last time any of ours genuinely fought for the club was the 'battle' of Stamford Bridge... and look how THAT turned out!
We totally lost our focus that night, and effectively any chance we had of the League....
I know we've had our moments after that, bu t feels like we've been playing 'nice guys' ever since!
Mathematically we were in the race but realistically we weren't

We weren’t all around for those 140 years, so must bow to your opinion. 😘😀
 
I’d actually almost think worse of Kane if he went to Chelsea than I do about Campbell.

That lot were so much better than us back then, but the gap between us and Chelsea is still thin, even after this season. I can sort of understand Campbell doing why he did, just not the method of how he did it.

If Kane goes to Chelsea, I’ll not be able to understand that at all.
 
Shearer did win a league medal with Blackburn. That was a nice one in the sense that he went from Southampton to an old traditional club, who hadn’t won anything really in 80 odd years but with the investment of a home town investor Jack Walker had a real shot at winning the league which they duly did in 1995.

Quaint now to think that there was such hostility towards the likes of Jack Walker at Blackburn and John Hall in Newcastle investing in their home town clubs

Very different times now when you have to throughly reprehensible organisation like Citeh and Chavs, with owners who should never have been let into the sport, if you are to have a shit at winning big prizes
Yeah he did win the league but he could have gone anywhere to play at that time. He chose Newcastle over other options, he followed his heart over all else. And stayed there even when they were shit. It would just be nice if someone like him would come out and be a flip side to the constant "he's gotta leave" agenda
 
The way this season has gone, with some very strange results, if we had won all our remaining games, including yesterday, we still had a chance.
But maybe they did us a favour, as if it had come to the last game, as sure as "eggs is eggs", we would have messed up.
Weirdly, I was talking about the Leicester title winning season where everyone said we bottled it despite the fact we were 8 PTS behind with 4 games to go and they would have had to have lost all their games in order for us to even have a chance....however, it also applies to this season where I'm sure you're right, we would have messed up and denied ourselves!🤣
