In terms of his legacy as one of the best for Spurs it does though.
If you were to ask me who was a better player in the history of football, pound for pound Bale has been better throughout both of their careers I would agree.

I thinkLet’s ignore this idiot Ben Jacobs for all future transfer stories.
He was that good even though we shunted him out left in his first season he just adapted to doing what he does best from out wide, still became an important part of the side that season from there, but when he moved centrally we utterly transformed as a team. Just pisses me off we bought a donkey like Crouch which encouraged our defence to completely bypass our best player at the time by far with 70 yard upfield punts. Like putting a Vauxhall badge on a rolls royce.In those early Modric years, you never really got the fuss until you truly watched him live.
I remember going to a game at home to Stoke in his first season. I couldn't believe he played for Spurs.
Greaves is still the all time top scorer in the league tbf.The fact Kane came through the academy and broke every goal scoring record the club has ever had, and stayed for longer than any other good player in the clubs history puts him top.
He wasn't a glamour player no, but his actual output and loyalty makes him the best.
For us he was.

Not for us he's not. Just an English top flight record.
I remember being shocked at how small he looked in the warm ups and then the game started...In those early Modric years, you never really got the fuss until you truly watched him live.

I hate Levy and ENIC more than most, but even I share the doubts about foreigners hitting the ground running at Spurs. Outside of Klinsmann and Berbatov, I can't recall many we've had that succeeded.It's like asking if you talk sense this season, does it correct all the previous seasons of whatever. Maybe is the answer.
Scoring 18 goals of significance is very different to scoring 18 goals in let's say 10 games, where only 2 or 3 made a difference to the result.
Kane being the prime example. It's not how many goals but when they are scored and those other elements, which I think is what Solanke might add. Might.
You still have some room for improvement, so there is hope for Solanke..
I’m sure some will still call POK/Ange a liar… and say we’re settling or whatever….

But not British.
Pretty sure he is mate, 220 vs 213 for Kane.
Did Paul o Fraud actually say that 7 or 8 weeks ago though? that Solanke was our main target?

For us he was.
Bale had one spectacular season where he scored 21 league goals. And then he fucked off to Madrid.
Before that he scored 12 league goals in 5 seasons.
Kane on the other hand, from his first full season scored 21, 25, 29, 30, 17, 18, 23, 17 & 30
The only time he ever scored less than 20 league goals was when he played less than 30 games through injury or the season he wanted out.
There's no doubting Bale was a wonderful player to watch, but he did far less for us in far less time at the club.
