Ex-Spurs Player Harry Kane

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

It's all very silly. You don't go from what he did last season to being a useless player that quickly, and no I don't want to hear that he only managed that because the side was built round him .. as if any player if made the main man could top just be top scorer. Ludicrous idea.

That's why the goonies here were very quiet last season. Now that Kane has upset people and he's having his usual slow start to the season, he's an easy target.
 
I always feel that Kanes bonus based contract is the problem and the reason he plays when, for one reason or another, we'd rather he didn't.

I doubt his basic salary reflects his status. In order to get the max amount, he would need to start games, score goals, win matches etc. If we sit him on the bench and he doesn't get any of that, he kicks off. That's my gut feel.
Kane was Levys front man for the low salary system in return had all backing of Levy and fans clarmoring efficient Club operation. Pride and future profit. Let the boy one of own abuse the privilege for his golden boot runs season after season.

Long story short
Didn't work out and became problem when Kane brothers thought they had gentlemens agreement because Levy is acutually gentlemen agreements WTF. Quickly loosing fans too in the face of diminishing value and dawning of fact that boy never delivered nor was the value and pride.

It's not a million miles off all the West Ham fans claiming that Antonio is suddenly a better striker now just because he's the first guy to score 50 goals for them in decades... Completely ignoring the comparative goal involvement output between the two over the last 7/8 years and the fact that Antonio is even more of an injury liability.

I said during the summer I'd have happily embraced a fresh start and, yes Kane's fuckery since the run-in of last season pissed me off; but much of the rhetoric atm is laughable.

Yes, how dare a striker try to score goals. Shame on him.
 
Out of interest - when did you decide Kane was shit - before or after he scored 200+ goals for Spurs

Also - please rate him in Top 10 all time Spurs strikers

Legit question
He’s been shit in lots of games down the years, and even scored in some of those games.
He’s not a shit player per se, on his day he’s world class…..been here before haven’t we?

Difference is he was in his day for about 25 games a season a few years ago, now, despite scoring, he genuinely looks world class about once or twice a year. And that’s not even full performances, just moments in games.

If people are blinded because he can turn up against LASK, or play nice passes sometimes good for them
 
But you continue to pick out Kane, instead of just saying the whole team was dog shit on the night. Including Son. The same Son that's also had plenty of shit games against the "better/bigger teams", just like Harry. But Son signed a new contract recently, so his shit smells like lavender for some people of course.

Any footballer in that situation would say that they are able to play to their manager. The manager makes the final decision, not the player himself. Stop talking absolute bollocks.
I don’t expect Dier to lead us to trophies.
That’s why I pick out Kane
 
And a player scoring 20-30 goals a season definitely holds the team back.

Yes, our problem definitely isn't players who contribute 2-3 goals a season, or defenders like Dier & Sanchez, it's one of the only two players we have that any club would be prepared to pay decent money for. He's the issue.

When we get rid of our 30 goals a season striker all will be good in the world and Bergwijn & Lucas will finally release their Kane shaped shackles and bang in 15 each in the league. Free flowing football at the Lane once more.
 
That's in the long story short. Listen I just gave best short summary for the money. It's not going to sit pretty because we all mad at the slavery under Levy. Anyway
Just boycott the game for now.

Once again you're just spouting absolute crap..... Barely intelligible.

"Slavery" - FFS!?!?!

Or keep denying and blame Son or his fanboys lol

Son's not being blamed for anything. You suck though; granted.
 
Kane takes 137 shots to score 23 goals.
Someone else may create 40 TEAM goals by passing some of the 114 chances Kane misses a season instead of just trying to break personal records

Imagine that

And Salah took 126 to score 22. With two more penalty goals than Kane.

Kane takes a lot of low % shots - from the edge of the area, from tight angles etc. He takes on the responsibility of shooting more than our other players do because he has more confidence in his ability to strike a ball.

And the idea that all the shots Kane misses are chances is very silly. Who are these other prolific players in our team you think he'd be better off passing it to?
 
Definitely not blaming all for Kane at all. Levy was the mother load but Kane was big part. He wasn't the man we all hoped he was
 
Reading this thread I sometimes feel like I've walked into an insane asylum populated by characters from One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest...and that's with two of its biggest obsessives on ignore!
