“Cristiano is a great player, but those who say he is better than Messi know nothing about football,” he said.
“Messi is one of a kind. Impossible to imitate and impossible to repeat. A player like him comes along every 50 or 100 years. As a kid, he fell into the football genius pot.”

Warned people that we play better without Kane but people suggested that I was just a hater and have an agenda against Kane
Pre season and beginning of the season, we looked fine and were getting results
As soon as Kane rejoins the starting line up, our form immediately goes to absolute dogshit
Kane is a problem and has been for a long time
When he's on the pitch, we have to play a certain way that isn't conducive to us winning games
Let Son/Lucas/Berg/Gil play together without Kane and you will see the fight back in this squad and we will start being competitive again

People fail to recognize that when Kane is playing, we have to play Harry Kane ball because of Kane's limitations as a player. That playing style is only beneficial for Kane's own individual stats but it doesn't necessarily mean we're better off as a team. There are a lot of players on the team that suffer when Kane is on the pitch.
Take Kane off and let the team play an organic/dynamic/faster style of football and you will get a team that is better than the sum of its parts.

Messi pisses on Ronaldo from such a great height it's practically assault.
should of got 120 and moved on, look what liverpool did with coutinho, invested it in strengthening a few key areas and benefited hugely from it.
like you say we play better without him, hes coming far too deep and trying to be kdb, hes lost that intensity and physicality which helped him get his rep in the first place. if kane plays we need a target man whos going to make the ball stick and actually get in the box.
Pretty much word for word how I feel as well.
Should've sold him for £100m on the summer to a foreign club.
he wont go abroad because he wants shearers record. its all about him now and his own personal accolades
Not an option. He didn't want to move abroad..... All bar PSG were skint anyway.
100%
I also think his name/presence/ego etc. is hurting the club as a whole
I think there's an element of players/managers/staff etc. wanting to please him and trying to force things to make him the de facto talisman at all times, regardless of how he's playing
As an example - why the hell is he taking free kicks... why?!
We definitely do not play better without him.
Even in the supposedly world class, elite show we put on against Man City at the start of the year we were awful in attack and looked totally toothless.
I know people have romanticized that game so they can totally ignore what actually happened but take Kane off this team and we are looking at a relegation battle.
Really don't want to post this again but will do so in case the fanboys have forgotten already.

imo we play better as a unit without him. the teams geared up to suit him when he plays, hes a fucking striker coming far too deep leaving us fuck all in the box. would rather sell him and get a striker whos going to be a striker and let he midfielders do their job.
maybe if we had an actual number 9 with kane then things would be different, but when hes dropping so deep trying to spray balls to wingers, majority of the time it ends up doing absolutely fuck all because our striker is so far behind the play. he also looks to me like hes lost that grit that made him great.
number 9 dropping that deep to spray balls leaves us so off balance, when messi comes deep he works his way up the pitch playing 1-2s so when he does get into danger areas the balls at his feet, hes not spraying 40 yard balls to wingers and then not being able to help them
Problem with Kane trying to be that de facto #9 now is that he really lost his physicality and mobility to be a real force up top. Injuries have caught up to him. He doesn't want to be near the opposing CBs in fear of getting injured again so he drops deep and runs towards the ball.
Give us the numbers since 19-20 or at least the post poch era. As that is more relevant to our current situation.

We got an early goal, sat back, kept the lead and WON the game against a tough defensive side - mission accomplished.
Not sure what more you want...?
I don't think it will take much longer for Kane to come around. Whatever he thinks about his situation he is a great goal scorer and those players have a need and drive to put the ball in the net. If we're having this conversion five matches down the road that's a whole other question but I'm still thinking there are better days ahead for Spurs and Kane. The problem is those better days probably won't be enough to get past about seventh.
The better days for us will be without Kane
We play better as a team without Kane
With Kane, yes he will get his goals but we will end up struggling as a team as we have over the last 2 years
