Ex-Spurs Player Harry Kane

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

No it’s not. It’s performing on a regular basis against the best teams in the world and turning up in big games and helping your club win things.

Can you name all the world class players who never won anything.

You: “Kane and Shearer”
Me: I said world class

England - 41 goals in 65 games
Spurs - 228 goals in 347 games

Ok ok Kane is not world class. He is surely amongst the next level below though. Happy now?
 
The hard on for Lewandowski is ridiculous. This is a guy who has spent his entire football career in the Polish and German leagues. And has spent the majority of that playing for one of the best two or three sides on the planet every year, and also a wonderful Dortmund side managed by Klopp at the time.

Kane gets grief for scoring against mediocre teams and yet Lewandowski does it every week. Yeah, he scores in some big games. But let's not ignore the fact that he's playing with world-class players in every position and for a side that dominates many of the finals they reach for fucks sake.

There's always hope.

There were reports in the summer about Harry and Hugo almost coming to blows over his actions in the summer.

Hugo needs to put his foot down in my opinion as the captain. There are 100% players not happy about Harry still being around. Hell, I don't think that Son is fully happy about it either. There's been a lot of games this season where he has played like this is his club and not Harry's any more.

Dissidents must be made to get in line.

TBF, it's not Son's club either.

Promoting such ideas is extremely dangerous (see Terry/Lampard led bi-annual mutinys).
 
He didn't have anything to prove to anyone. He was clearly one of the best around in his position to anyone that knows anything about anything.
He was a great striker, but fell short of the world class tag.
World class takes a mentality to win.
He didn’t win anything.

Walker isn’t world class, but he had foresight and saw Poch for what he was. Serial loser.

Kane stuck around, saw out his peak and then tried to leave for an easy medal.
Not a winning mentality either, just like Shearer.
 
Actually put a bit of creativity in the side like Eriksen and I have no doubt you'd see a lot more of the old HK.

If and when he does get his move he'll no doubt bang in goal after goal and make a fair few here look a bit daft who are insisting that he's finished.

He's finished here. Not as a player.

So you're basically saying that even if your favourite fella Lewandowski played for us his entire career, scoring the same amount of goals in the league, you wouldn't consider him word-class?

Mate, he looks average for England as well.

He'll get his goals against shit teams for but put him up against a real side and he's going to go missing. It doesn't matter if its in a Spurs shirt or England.

I wouldn't be surprised if he ended up being dropped by Southgate.
 
Turned into Gary Lineker? Banging in goals for England and Spurs is a bad thing then?

What did Crouchy win with Spurs?
Crouch’s top 4 City goal is probably more important than any goal Kane has ever scored for us.

It’s great he banged in goals for us and England, I don’t have an issue with Kane’s first 4 years.
I’ve explained why I think last years tally was still a deteriorating player though.
 
The bench mark was Grealish who went for 100m. I do not believe the so called 75m offer, other than some figure to open discussions before Grealish was priced.
Kane is worth more than Grealish. But once his head was turned, what we now see, is the result of not selling.
 
As a fan I have not recovered from Kane's lack of loyalty at the end of last season. It stopped us getting 6th and then he followed it up by not turning up for training. It set the tone and a lot of what has happened stems from that. If I cannot forgive him then what about the players? Last season we had 4 players that scored including Bale & Vinny. This season we only have 2 including an underperforming Kane. The reason we lost today was the lack of creativity and not scoring.
I really am finding it difficult to actually watch them this season and whilst Nuno is not great, the alternatives mid season may also not work.
Kane should be told you will not be leaving in January and that is even if any offer comes in but they do need to buy someone else to score goals.
