Ex-Spurs Player Harry Kane

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports



"It shows great ambition, to be honest,” Kane said of Conte’s appointment. “His résumé speaks for itself. Everyone knows how highly thought of he is and what he has done as a manager in the game. You have to respect that. We have a manager and a club that believe in us and this appointment definitely shows that.

“He definitely brings a lot of passion, a lot of determination, whether that’s on the training pitch or in meetings, in the dressing room. He has won trophies at the highest level with the biggest clubs so everyone is excited to learn, excited to work under him and that passion he shows every day, every meeting, every training session is what you thrive on. You go into games wanting to put your body on the line for him and you can feel that already.

“We haven’t reached the standards we have wanted to over the last couple of years and we hope that this manager can help us turn it around. But it’s about us and how we take it in because he has done it, he has nothing to prove. He will give us everything he has to improve us and now it is down to us as players to have no excuses. We have to make sure every minute of our lives we are trying to improve and win for this team. That is the only way we are going to move forward.”
 
The real question is, when is Kane going to be in the MLS? Rooney went when he was 32. Can Kane beat him to it? It’ll be another English record, beating Rooney to the MLS and whatnot.

His decline is eerily similar to Wayne

Do you by chance have some stats to prove that???

Kane's back in. Lovely assist yesterday. Still nowhere near peak Kane but now he's got Conte as the gaffer, I think he'll rediscover his focus. If Conte can get him running faster then bonus points.
 
Problem is he had a perfectly decent game, wasn’t shit at all. 7/10 game in which he played a big part in the win.
Yes I agree his hold up play was decent yesterday and I was going to compliment him. Until I realized his hold up play was against backs with a combined values of less than Winks. Seriously, the two backs he was going up against had a combined value of 5 million.

Jiminez does the unglamorous work week in week out against PL opposition and had 50+ goal contributions in 90 apps under Nuno and a Wolves side with half the value of Spurs. Yet you undermine him. Lol ok

Let’s see if Harry does the unglamorous work like Jiminez does for a full season against PL opposition. If he does, I’ll be pretty content even if he doesn’t score his usual penalty and tap ins.
 
Looks like you are stuck with Kane for the foreseeable future. He has hopped on the Conte express train:contelol:
The thing is, we are all stuck with Kane.
I’m not sure why anyone would celebrate that.
It doesn’t matter how much begging he does in the press either.
Conte will sign a striker with the goal to be his long term replacement, hopefully Vlahovic or similar.

As soon as that happens, Kane starts to get subbed off. Then he starts to get subbed on.
Then some weeks he doesn’t play at all, and then he’s sold.

This club needs a future, but our fans are stuck in the “glory” of a season we finished 3rd five years ago.
 
You’ve suddenly started sucking off Kane again when Conte came and hopes no one remembers just 4 days ago you said Harry can fuck off after the Utd game

I haven't started sucking him off though. Learn to read. I just don't feel the need to carry on some vindictive personal crusade. Nice (pathetic) attempt at putting words in my mouth though! Good one!

On a serious (genuinely) note though Sammy, do you mind if I ask you a personal question? Are you autistic? (I would never ever take the piss out of autism so I am asking genuinely). It's just that you display several traits I would associate with autism.

If you are, then I'll back off and would certainly be more understanding of the way in which you post.

You don't need to answer if you don't wish to. I understand it can be a deeply personal thing.

Kane and Rooney's peak and subsequent decline have been similar.

Both were around a similar age when they hit their respective peaks (~25 years old).

Below are PL goals scored for both players.

Kane
17-18 (age 24-25): 30 goals
18-19: 17 goals
19-20: 18 goals
20-21: 23 goals
21-22: 1 goal in 9 apps

Rooney
09-10 (age 24-25): 26 goals (PFA POTY)
10-11: 11 goals
11-12: 27 goals
12-13: 12 goals
13-14: 17 goals
14-15: 12 goals
15-16: 8 goals
16-17: 5 goals
17-18: 10 goals (w/ Everton)
2018: Playing in MLS at age 32

Imagine telling Man Utd fans that Rooney was showing signs of decline and will be no longer elite during the 11-12 season when he scored 27 goals... I'm sure they would have laughed and brushed it off.

Both statistics and the eye test point to the fact that Kane is in a serious decline....

Are you seriously going to bring in autism into this? Foul vote sent.

Look at you mistaking me for a Kane fanboy just for getting bored of your shite.

You jobless, friendless, penniless, sexless, worthless, gooner scroat of a man.

If brains were gold, you’d be homeless, now pipe down before I deal with you properly.
Why don’t you go call some more posters in here autistic and act like you’re not trying to disrespect people that are actually autistic.

My brother is autistic so I would never ever take the piss out of it (nor would I even if he wasn't). Like I said, learn to read. I deliberately bolded that bit so people like you (illiterates) could be clear on my intentions. You are just looking for an excuse to be offended, you fucking waste of space.

Apologise or fuck off. You get one warning (bin vote cast by the way for daring to infer that kind of behaviour on me).
