Ex-Spurs Player Harry Kane

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

I'd be more concerned if he was missing chance after chance. Yet again he barely got any, and won't against half decent sides until we get better players in midfield. Not to say he can't do better as an individual though.
 
Nope. World class. Better than Lewandowski, Salah, Ronaldo, Haaland etc

He’s a physical specimen

Didn't get out of 2nd gear.

Not sure what's going on, but I genuinely suspect his ankles are shot.

Should have sold him, but understand why Levy held out, and we likely wouldn't have gotten AC if he'd have gone, so...
 
He's going to end up signing a new contract here because nobody wants to buy him. Certainly not one of the clubs he thinks he should already be playing for.

He will get better though in Conte's teams the strikers do score goals. They have to as his midfielders don't and ours certainly don't.
 
Least he is consistent and wasn’t downing tools for Nuno :-). Can’t believe anything city have seen in the gsmes He has played will sway their judgment thst he is worth more than 75m. Think Father Time is Cathy h up,with him? Seems even slower and less agile than usual. Saw three occasions tonight where he just couldn’t get his body in the right position you would expect world class athletes to be able to

We have a midfield? sadly We don’t have any players in this squad who can take the ball keep it and actually look to make a forward pass. First intent is always let me pass it sideways or backwards.
 
However, whether we think he’s good or not (FWIW, he’s been very poor IMO and sulking and pathetic so far this season) I’m wondering IF we do get a turnaround and he stays past January, exactly how many big teams or big games he has to play in and score in for certain posters to accept he’s alright and a valuable player?
This is a mischaracterization of people's position. No one is denying Kane is 'alright' and a 'valuable player'; in fact, that is the exact thing it seems KaneDomBadBoy KaneDomBadBoy and sammyspurs sammyspurs are saying. Kane is 'alright' and 'valuable' but not to the level that most on this board think (i.e. he is not world class). As such, he should have been sold this summer when the disparity between his actual playing worth to us and his market value was the greatest.

The 'debate' beyond that is just fun. It's those two rhetorically kicking everyone else's ass mixed in with a few whiners complaining that they are in fact kicking everyone else's ass. It's amusing. The issue we should be concerned about is the folks who are being royally smashed in here not even remotely changing their positions as the tag team piss all over their points.
For me, if he turns up and dominates a defence against the big teams for a season or two (irrespective of goals scored, for me), then that’s my criteria. If we don’t have an idea of what would count, we’re just shouting into the wind like madmen.
Hold it, are you suggesting that a striker could have value and worth to a team without the scoring of goals? I really don't understand how this could be but what would it look like? And seeing as Harry was valued for his goals would it be possible for him to be as valuable to us without them? If so, then what would he have to do on the field to satisfy this? This sounds like an interesting prospect if this could be executed properly.
 
Awfully quiet in here after the game, even passing to Moura 60 yards out isn’t being fawned over anymore

Is the penny dropping?
Saw someone blame service……well I guess now it’s Jose, Mason, Nuno AND Contes shit tactics stifling Kane. Glad Conte saw the real Kane and not a shop window version.

Imagine having to run on to a through ball. Like Moura and Son do every week 10 times a game.

Kane not running for a pass doesn’t automatically make it a poor pass.
The geezer is done, and nostalgia and denial won’t change that.

Time to wake up and if Conte is this maverick nut job, he needs to grow a pair and fast.

It’s Everton next, another game that will flyby Kane, while we try and play a high intensity press.
Cracks me up people want speed and pressing then demand we build the team around the one player who can’t play fast or press.

This marriage is over

Also, imagine constantly being excited and harping on about pressing all the time when you have players like Moura and Bergwijn who excel at this but score less goals over a season than some centre-backs.

You're desperate to see us in the Championship.
 
I don't really wanna get involved but I'm gonna...

Kane is world class.
He's been shit this season.
He needed to be brought down to earth as he thought he was bigger than the club.
He'll get better under Conte.

A lot of our issues, including Kane's, are down to fitness. Once Conte improves that, our performances will improve.
 
There's two cunts who make this thread impossible. I put them on ignore ages ago, but the whole thread is just people replying to them. They are trolls, you will never convince them because they just want to endlessly argue and bait you. This is what trolling a forum looks like.

Moura isn’t scoring 😂

Is Kane?

Our limited wingers outwork Kane. Not scoring and working is what will see us relegated

Kane is having a shit season by his own standards so far. We've still got most of it remaining. Moura has never scored goals and gets away with it just because he comes across as a nice bloke and had one purple patch that lasted a second half. He averages around a goal every 10 games in the Premier League for fucks sake.

He really should flat track bully a bit more.

Dele was good once so what

Kane is having a shit season. Does it end there for you?
Not for me, I like to see the whole story which goes Kane is having a shit season AND THE CLUB IS SUFFERING WEEK AFTER WEEK AFTER WEEK BECAUSE OF IT

But yeah, pick out limited players who are actually doing as much as they can

You watch him play like that and have the nerve to come in here and talk about good he is?
You keep talking about Woolwich fans, well they’re the ones celebrating his name on the team sheet every week mate not me

The reason I agree with those guys comments alot is that Kane has been selected on historical performance for too long. He is not the player he once was. The media and consequently the fans and it seems previous managers are blind to dropping him. If he wasn't Kane and was bought in from another club and performed like he has would he get so much slack. Drop him and retrain him. If Conte can't get a tune out of him. Get him out.
