Ex-Spurs Player Harry Kane

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

He had five shots today, prior to Conte coming he wasn't even getting this many touches!

Goals will come, would be worried if he wasn't getting shots away. But he his and volume increasing with every game.

Next.

“But he his and volume increasing every game’

I wouldn't say flush him but some of those letters are in a word I could use.
He's a WUM. Simple as that.
But it's no big deal.

I agree but we’ve now had two threads to ban Sammy now

So what if he’s a WUM

You could say that about a lot of posters

Ignoring him is the obvious solution but mostly I think he has a point about Kane who I hope we get rid of in January
 
It's far easier to have a pop at Kane since the summer, but the most memorable Kane moment for me today was Lucas running from 3 times as far, overtaking him to press & try to win the ball back.

Getting tired of seeing him stand with his hands out when he doesn't get the pass he wants. He needs to accept that Son is our main man right now.
He’s getting like Dele
 
I think he'll look better playing off another striker rather than being the reference point that Conte wants him as now. His legs look gone. Sheringham had zero pace and played for years but always had another striker alongside him he could play off. Kane would be able to do that.

Unfortunately very few top teams or managers want to play with 2 strikers now. Conte actually did it with Lukaku and Martinez in his 352 at Inter, i wonder if he gets another striker that will be the plan.

I've said it's no big thing.

spammy and arcpsace and nobimbel or whatever his name is are the only 3 blatant ones.
I only have one on ignore.
But anyway I try to avoid spamming threads and that's it from me on the subject in this thread.
 
Kane will get crapped on because he didn't score and Son and Moura did but he was very good today and showed signs of the old Kane that we haven't really seen that much of this season.

Son probably slightly better and Moura will get credit for the quality of his goal but for me overall Kane was arguably the best of the front 3 today.
 
That line is shit. Can't imagine Zest's got the legs anymore and would get done for pace consistently. Plus his tekkers are shit.

Think I could last one sprint...

(was a keeper, to show my tekkers! was scouted by Luton and MOTM in some counties level games at youth, but never tall enough, used to do diving county and trampolining, plus basketball at county, so had some chance, but golf was the one thing I could have been Pro at, my dad was heartbroken I showed sub-Ndombele interest in being that at 14).

That is not good reading my man. I know a guy that will find it very difficult to spin these numbers even if he's already come out and proclaimed Kane the best forward on display today...not sure if he meant all of Europe or not.

showed signs of the old Kane that we haven't really seen that much of this season.
Right, his shots were closer to the target today. So yeah, he looks closer to the 13.87% guy than the 4% guy of this season. Positive signs.

Would like to see Bergwijn get games, maybe that’s the approach with Lucas and Son
 
My man! Seems Kane's been spending too much time on the links. Bale must have been a bad influence.

At 14 moved, my last pro shaped my swing had moved to a new area, the new Pro watched me on the nets, said "you swing the club like Nick Faldo", yep I thought, heard it numerous times (he was Masters around that time, maybe few years later), he continued "However, I teach my students how to swing like Ian Woosnam, so we're going to have to completely reconstruct your swing".

Never went back, never had another lesson, year before was having lessons from tour pro's and a famous commentator! Weird the shape life takes sometimes!
 
Personally I'm fine with keeping Kane as long both Kane and the club understand and accept that Kane will never be that player from 2015-17. Kane is no longer our best chance of scoring. He's physically declined to the point of no return and regularly gets bullied by average PL defenders.

My observations thus far is that Conte is understanding how to use Kane. He uses him just like any other player and does not give him preferential treatment where we forcefully play Harry Kane ball. There seems to be much more of a focus on the TEAM rather than just making Kane the focus of our play/attack. It's early but the signs are pointing upwards for the team.

If Kane plays within the team and does the small unglamerous/unselfish things are needed from him, even if it means he's scoring less goals, it will bode well for the rest of the team and our results will follow suit.

Bergwijn has a lot to prove to win me over currently but I haven't written him off.

When he was coming on at 3-0 I was hoping it would be for Kane, up top in the middle following on from Conte's comments this week about him being capable of playing that position.

I would have seen this as a rare but ideal opportunity to give Scarlett some Premier League minutes in place of Kane. Not that I'm questioning Conte.
