Ex-Spurs Player Harry Kane

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

I have a sneaky feeling somehow he will score again.
Nope i dont care who is our top scorer to be honest. Id rather if son and kane got less and others finally stepped up and took up some slack in that department. Moura, steve b, tanguy

So you’re happy to live in a fake world where Kane baubles about the pitch not scoring but Moura and Bergwijn score 23 between them

And you’d have no opinion on Kane not scoring because you don’t care. Yet you claim you are happy to point out his faults and when he’s poor.

But you don’t care if he’s not doing his job
 
Ok, now that there's some peace and calm I think the conclusion from all this is this:

The 9 Truths Uncovered in the Last 1,000 Pages

1. Son is our best attacker and our main man - no more debating that

2. Kane has been physically on the decline in large part due to injuries but still produces at a high rate

3. Kane is a still a very good striker however needs to turn up against better sides (ie the big 4) much more frequently

4. The idea that Kane struggles against good/top sides because of his teammates is mostly BS as Son and other players on lesser sides including Richarlison, Jiminez, Lacazette, Aubameyang etc. all have scored at a significantly higher rate against the Big 4 than Kane

6. Whether you think Kane is world class or not depends on your definition of World Class

7. Selling Kane is not a bad idea if we can trust Levy to find decent players (Big if given how incompetent he is)

8. Spurs can cope without Kane and in fact we've proven to get better results without Kane over the last 3+ seasons.

9. Winks is not world class

So Kane’s average isn’t to be compared to Lewandoski or Haaland.
Only to an amalgamation of 400 players which would include shots from Harry Maguire and Sissoko too?

Why was he being compared directly with Drogba before? Oh yes because it suited the argument

Average - a number expressing the central or typical value in a set of data, in particular the mode, median, or (most commonly) the mean, which is calculated by dividing the sum of the values in the set by their number.

If you want to do a one v one comparison then as already pointed out to you Harry's numbers are very similar to many other top strikers, less than some, and more than others ... you need to let this go.

The only truth uncovered here is that you and Sammy are oddly way to close - and that both of you will post utter garbage to repeat a point that the majority simply don't agree with ....

You have an opinion, no issues, but so does everyone else - just get over yourself.

Most of them - but by far the most stupid one is this:

8. Spurs can cope without Kane and in fact we've proven to get better results without Kane over the last 3+ seasons.

Meanwhile in the real world Kane has been our leading scorer and leading provider of assists over the last three seasons - only a person with zero grasp of even the most basic football would understand that taking out your leading scorer and leading assists provider - WOULD NOT - get you better results.

But as I said that requires a basic knowledge of football .... something your posts would suggest you seem to lack.

What a moron you are .... statistics will show you that Kane was by far our most important player over the last three seasons - it's why he's valued at over 100m

To judge a player by what happens when he doesn't play that's insane ... Liverpool won without Salah twice last season, should they drop him? Utd won three times without Bruno obviously according to your logic he needs to be dropped .... doh!

You are an idiot - there's really no need to keep proving that to everyone ....

Incorrect, we have gotten better results without Kane as long as Son is playing. That is a fact Mr Bangkok.

Had we sat Kane in the CL Final, maybe we would have won it and the rest would have been history.

Most recently we went undefeated this season w/o Kane in 7 matches (including pre season). Among those games were games against Chelsea, City, and Woolwich.
