Yeah but you shouldn't play this game. Not everything is binary. Hoddel won trophies for Spurs so how has Kane actually bettered him for us? The volume of goals is amazing but has he ever scored a goal as important as Hoddel in the cup semi or even Lucas Moura or Klinsmann against Wimbledon. The answers actually no.
Adding the "Glenda" bit came across as snide when there is no need to compare goal records of a Centerforward and attacking midfielder. They are both Spurs legends the rest is noise.
Glenda was how he was affectionately referred to back in the day. He was regarded as being a bit soft and a fancy Dan.Yeah but you shouldn't play this game. Not everything is binary.

Top 4 finish is great and to be honest it feels good to be in that conversation consistently these past years and Kane is a big part of it.Glenda was how he was affectionately referred to back in the day. He was regarded as being a bit soft and a fancy Dan.
Kane has scored goals against every big side in league games that got Spurs into the Champions League.
I'm one of those realists who understands that a top four finish is the new trophy win in the modern era.
Spurs used to chase cup competitions in the 70's, 80's and early 90's for the same reason we now chase top 4 finishes;
The extra revenue.
Kane is the most consistent, reliable and best Spurs player for the last 50 years.
No he's not the greatest player of the last 50 years. He is though the best centre forward/goal scorer I've seen (I'm 60) and will likely become our highest scorer. Those who saw Greavsie play for us may well say he's not as good as Greavsie when you compare goals per games and the fact he won trophies. He is not better than Hod imo (but then no one else I've seen is). Comparing goal records between a midfielder and CF is pretty pointless. Kanes passing is wonderful, but not quite at the level of Hod's.
Hod may not have scored much against the Goons, but he did score/create goals in finals and win medals.
Important though it is now to get top 4, it's never going to match the thrill of seeing your team actually lifting a (any) trophy.
Kane will always be a legend but nowhere near hoddles passing. Watching hoddle as a kid it just seemed he played matches taking the piss out of teams. Never saw greaves play but my old man says he was a phenomenal player. Some tottenham legends are untouchable imo such as blanchflower, Mackay and Jennings. Vertonghen imo was a class act as well.No he's not the greatest player of the last 50 years.

Hoddle was a genius but he was also a bit inconsistent. I've mentioned his NLD scoring record; not to compare his goal scoring record with Kane's but to back up my theory that Kane has been a more reliable and consistent performer for Spurs than Hoddle.No he's not the greatest player of the last 50 years.

Go, win stuff, then come back?He could do exactly what Sheringham did if he goes there.
man united is currently a backward step, things should look better for them now the toxic narcissist has gone but its still uncertain. they are miles off city, they are fighting to get back into top 4 properly let alone actually winning big titles.If he leaves it will be to United. They have shown they are willing to spend huge money on older players and they are a legendary club. He could do exactly what Sheringham did if he goes there.

How big were these knockers? As good as the Argie fan that popped up on screen after the WC Final?Hoddle had quite a few knockers back in day as far as I can remember from the press and pundits .
Like Leeds utd she went bust.How big were these knockers? As good as the Argie fan that popped up on screen after the WC Final?
