Ex-Spurs Player Harry Kane

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

But it might be forced upon us to some extent, as he seems to wish to leave.

If we would have acted in timely manner, we could have moved on Eriksen for huge lump of money and avoided his last 12 months with us. It impacted in less money earned + subpar performances.

You make it seem like we should sell some squad players and then bring in few stars and it makes it all okay. But come on, this squad of players is rotten to the core. It is not cosmetic change. This very squad stopped playing for Poch, this vey squad stopped playing for Mou and this very squad can't get their shit together even for cup final and chance to make it into top 4 under interim manager.

And such changes take a lot of resources. When our most prized asset wants to move on as well, maybe we should just put 1+1 together, accept that it will be a step back and try to rebuild. If we don't Kane and Son will be worth 1/5 of what they are now in 3 years (age + contract lenght) and we have slipped back to 2nd part of the table like Woolwich now, trying to paint over the cracks with fancy-name-solutions and flashy loan deals.
Fair play to you. You are making brilliant points, and doing it very diplomatically.
 
No I asked you a question and you refused to answer it while demanding I answer yours
Erm no I asked you a question and you responded demanding me to answer a question you had asked to someone else

The question is pointless as well as I pointed out yesterday every top striker scores most of his goals against shit teams and in the prem they have similar records against the top sides this season as Kane

So last time what are you trying to say with all these posts ? Is there a striker out there you think would be better for us ?
If so can you name him
 
So Kane, world class, needs shit defenders to do a job against?

I’ll leave this here

Seems like not everyone has as big a problem scoring against the top teams

:harrysmile:

Oh so now goals against Woolwich count
Great so Kane’s scored the 3rd most amount of his Goals against them

Also this list is up until October and interestingly none of the 3 top scorers this season are on it

So take it you’d have auba over Kane then right, he’s scored more against the big 6 in this time

Kane has over double his goals and more than 5 times his assists this season mind

Simply post a list of most goals against top 6 this season where Kane is on it

I’ll wait

Mainly guys with plenty of pace. Maybe that's what it boils down to, as opposed to this talk about "winning mentality"?

I don’t have to it’s a very flawed pointless metric to measure how good a player is

I would expect someone playing for Man City to score more goals against the rest of the top 6 than someone playing for a worse team

I have posted the stats of the other top goal scorers in the league yesterday which pointed out their record against the other top 6 was similar to Kane’s , but you’ve chosen to ignore

There’s a pretty clear list you can find anywhere it’s called top goal scorers in the league, if it’s so easy to scorer against the “bottom 10” why hasn’t anyone else scored more against them ?

But I’ll ask one last time, have some balls and give us the players you think are better than Kane we could sign, instead of just dancing around posting pointless stats .

If Kane had the most goals against the top 6, would you not use it?
 
Kane is being excused for not being able to cut it in games where Calvert Lewin and Vardy and Rashford are banging them in.

Because “defenders are better so poor Kane has to bulk his numbers against Brighton and LASK”
I won't say I take no interest in stats. I do. I don't believe I get the full picture from them. It's the same with xG. I take an interest in them, but they don't tell me everything I need to know.

I found an interesting table on the BBC's website. People might like it. They might not.


It breaks down the numbers for the top 25 PL goalscorers in terms of :
GoalsGLAssistsAPlayedPGoals per 90Mins per GoalMPGTotal ShotsGoal ConversionShot Accuracy

Some of the info. is very surprising.

Already addressed this loads, that Kane scores a lot because he shoots a lot and he shoots a lot because his shot accuracy is the worst in the league, worse than Bamford and as your list shows the only player under 50%

This table is interesting, too.
