Player Heung-Min Son (손흥민)

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Problem with Son is that he's the best player on the pitch 40% of the matches he plays in, 30% he's good and 30% he's atrocious. Case in point - there was a span of (12 games?) where he had 1 goal or something like that last season. If he turned those anonymous performances into good/decent ones he'd be the best winger in the game.

That said, we're extremely lucky to have him. I personally think he's been the most important player over the last 3 years. Only player that can grab the game by the scruff of the neck and win it for us. It's no coincidence that when he scores/plays well, we usually win. When he's off, we usually underperform.
 
Kane's playmaking/assists last season was a fluke. Actually it was more like 1/3 of a season when Son's finishing was off the charts and when defenses didn't adjust to our Kane/Son tactic. Before last season Kane's averaged like 3 premier league assists a season.

LOL

They can be an outlier without being a fluke,

It wasn't like he was making a one yard pass for Son to then run through the whole team. If you can't recognize the quality of the majority of those passes from Kane then your hatred for him is even more pathetic than I thought.
 
Kane has always been a good passer, but last season Mourinho got him into the number 10 position more than normal, which worked brilliantly with Son running in behind. So I think the tactics worked for Kane re. assisting last season.

Probably the best strike partnership in the league, hopefully we can have another season of it.

Hardly a fluke, for crying out loud. And know you don't like him much, even last season. But you don't fluke so many assists.

Kane can produce moments of quality with his passing that Son or any other of our current players can only dream of.
 
......And so we find ourselves once again plagued with yet another round of Kane vs Son mudslinging....

Kane best striker in Europe.
Son fabulous wing forward.

.....What is there not to love? :pochrolleyes:

Kane probably then should have passed a few more all these years. Should you not be at Kanes thread? Baby Kane is probably lost and hurting in need your soothing posts. Why are you here after Son doing something honorable which is rare to find in today's football

LOL

Now Kanes great season last year is actually a bad thing because he should have passed more in the past????

The crap that gets posted here by supposed Spurs fans, although not sure Luvf is a Spurs fan, about Kane is pathetic.

I don't think anyone said Kanes great numbers in assists and goals last season was a bad thing.
He probably should have done more if he knew how to? But he did not and that's fine. You live the consequence and it is already in the past.

What real crab is though is how he shitted all over the club and on fans faces in last couple of weeks who had been so faithfully supporting him all these years

When you say he probably should have done more that is a ridiculous statement. You saying that his assists last year show that he should have done more isn't saying it was a bad thing but is certainly using it to try and twist it into a negative. He did just fine in the past and will be more than fine "living with the consequence."

He never shit in the fans face at all or the clubs face.

I have been very consistent saying the same thing forever here. Kane is great but should be less selfish and play more for the teams victory than his pursuit of golden boot. He just happened to finally turn around last year and did lots of asset like I knew he could always all these years.

Now Kane shitting over like he has with his brother is a bit different though. I can't say that I knew he could do that.
 
But I am going to stop now even though it is not so easy when you kids are nagging asking for it like this but I'm going to stop because the shit is on going and Kane might have to swim through it to make it right.

You do realise that, in 140 years, only one person has scored more goals for Spurs than Kane has, don't you?
 
Danny's doing his best here to put a negative spin on players who are loyal to their clubs.


But Son's decision to sign a new deal and stay loyal to Tottenham has left pundit Murphy questioning his ambition.

Speaking to Jim White and Simon Jordan on talkSPORT, he said: "Players are very different.

"When somebody is content and enjoying life and enjoying their football, not everybody is craving the same things.

"I’m sure he is getting a great financial deal, but the chances are he is not going to win very much in the next couple of years at Tottenham.

“That’s the honest fact.

“So he is obviously not that bothered about winning things.”
Murphy then went on to say: "I’m talking about every individual player being different in terms of what they want from life and football and their careers.

"It does suggest, to me, like he has kind of given up. He might believe that Tottenham can turn it around and, I don’t know, compete somehow.


“But most people who know football don’t see that happening next season or the next few seasons, if we are honest, with Chelsea, Liverpool and City’s power.

“He has given up that, I think.”

Simon Jordan, on the other hand, sees the situation differently and believes that Son signing a new deal shows that Tottenham are not set for a mass exodus of its biggest stars in the event of Kane leaving.
There are very few players in % terms actually win anything in their careers guys that play for provincial teams have next to no chance a promotion, cup run or a win if they are lucky that’s how it works so Murphy views them as what exactly “ not important“ or they are just shoving in time, making up the numbers? Fuck me we can’t win we sell our best player we lack ambition or fulfill his ambition we keep a good player and he lacks ambition cos he’s staying……..jaysus

Why do you care? You're about as much of Spurs fan as Ty from Woolwich TV. If Son left you wouldn't post here again.
