Probably Mourinho's fault somehow.

The spirit of Sammy lives on in his disciples. I really don't know how long you of the likes Ndombadboy have been Spurs fans but you're in for an absolute shock if we go back to the pre-Kane levels of strikers we had.
Ok... it's not much better at all.
Kane's goal PL contributions this season
Vs. top 6 teams (City, ManU, Leicester, Chelsea, West Ham, Pool)
4 goals / 2 assists in 10 apps
All other teams
15 goals / 11 assists in 19 apps
Kane's a great striker, among the best, but we made it to the CL final and had a great run overall with Llorente who played a pivotal role in some big big matches. Some can't ignore the fact that Kane does struggle and goes absent in big matches which is a fair criticism. Nothing wrong with pointing this out.
Most of our team goes missing on the big occasion and Kane can't do it on his own. Even prime Messi had Iniesta, Xavi, Dani Alves etc giving him the platform to go and win the big games.
Harry has Sissoko, Winks and Doherty.
40 years this year. I’ve seen a few good ones and some bad ones. I’m not advocating the sale of Harry. He’s still out best player. What I’m saying is factually correct.
Do you wear half and half scarves by any chance? You seem like someone who supports about ten teams. I don't sense any emotional attachment to the club. Did you just latch onto Spurs as your English team when we signed Ndombele?
Kane does not struggle in big games. He plays for a shit one. That’s it
Maybe he would do better if he had fucking system on the pitch.
It's a good job he doesn't come on here or he would probably think fuck this bunch of wankers i'm off.
He probably looks at some of his team mates and thinks that anyway.It's a good job he doesn't come on here or he would probably think fuck this bunch of wankers i'm off.
Llorente did well but that's what is supposed to happen, other players are meant to contribute to the team not just Kane. The problem is that doesn't happen enough so we rely too much on Kane (or Son). This is down the piss-poor management of the squad and team over the last few years. Not down to Kane himself.
I'm surprised he doesn't cook the team lunch, some people seem to expect him to do everything else around here.
Just trying to be objective. I see players like Gio and Ndombele getting a lot of shit for their performance vs Man Utd but didn't see Kane or any of our other players doing that much more or less than them. Kane is obviously not the problem in these bigger games but he hasn't been the solution. But I may be expecting too much from him. It doesn't help that we have a manager that still does not know what this team's identity is.
Yes. Would rather 125m than that deal, they would disappear here on huge wages
Ndombele, PEH and Reguillon have played more than the 3 you mentioned.
Only 2 strikers in the world can replace kane and neither of em will come here
I don’t ever recall a clamour like this in the media before agitating over just one particular player to move. Of course it’s gone into overdrive since Sunday as the narrative which has been forming for a while now is that Man U are apparently going places under Coach Ole and it’s a match made in heaven to get Harry there and is best for all parties (not Spurs obviously, but when have we ever mattered in the media narrative).
Man U are the biggest cash cow for most vested interests in the EPL. They dwarf every other team in the league with their appeal and worldwide support base. Peter Scudamore the then head of the EPL said something extraordinary back in March 2014 when David Moyes was still at the helm in the first seasons of the lost Sir Alex era. Scudamore said that Man U’s troubled defence of their league title that season was damaging for the EPL brand.
We’re 7 years on now from that, Man U have finished an average of 23 points behind the champions since they last won it in 2013, the wait there will be out to 9 years by next season and there is a near desperation In the media to see them back at the top table. You have a fan tv service on Sky on just about every one of their games in Gary Neville on co-commentary and Roy Keane in the studio rabbiting on about what Man U need and what’s best for Man U. The fixation there for a while now is they want and need Harry Kane.
There’s been plenty of seasons Man U haven’t finished Top 4 since 2012/13 but I don’t ever recall as much as a murmer in the media about how any given player had to get out of Old Trafford for their own good the way that Harry seemingly has to get away from Spurs for his own good.
I’d love for Levy to come out and say that Harry has 3 years left of his 6 year contract, he’s going nowhere this summer and the press should put a sock in all this speculation as its unsettling and disrespectful to Tottenham Hotspur. Make a complaint maybe as well to the press regulator about all this agitating to get a player out of a legally binding contract that still has 3 years to run.
Fuck the lot of them.

What if Son wanted to leave after Kane? How would you feel?
I think it'll be the other way around. We have replacements for Son position wise but without another striker (assuming Vinny leaves) then we're back in the same position at two years ago.
Were not focussing on youth talent at all. All this talk about Parrott is starting to sound like BS. We've had way to many youth players who "are going to be the next __________" and I can't even remember the last youth member who became a regular besides Winks and Kane and both of them were written off before Poch came along. High hopes for Japahat though.
