if he was such a leader and 'mentality monster' then he would of demanded standards and stood up with his chest out. why you allowing shit like dier to be at the club almost 10 years? dier, davies, sanchez! these useless cunts have been loitering about for years! with no one calling it for what it is! SHIT!Tbf it's impossible for 1 player to instill a winning mentality to a whole squad if a large portion of the team are full of players that simply don't care AND the people above don't seem fussed about improving much either.
What he's said at its core isn't wrong. There's obviously a cultural difference in regards to winning and trophy chasing at Bayern and Spurs. That's a given.I’m not going to get uptight about what he’s said or think it will affect his legacy, but he’d have been better keeping his mouth shut.
Poor lack of judgement in not realising the media would jump on his comments and use it as a stick to further beat Spurs with.
Have some grace Harry and avoid slagging your ex off.
Chuck in the games in knock out tournaments with the best players in England(and a few best in Europe) when he failed...guess that was on Rahim Sterling. He's just not being fully honest, it's why I'm glad we are rebuilding. He's speaking half truths. That side that Ledley King captained to our last trophy was not better than any of the ones Kane played in three finals. Ledley turned up and so did Dider fucking Zakora against a much much better side. That's the full truth. He just should not go there because not nice to have to point the full picture out.What he's said at its core isn't wrong.

I just find it funny how he doesn't seem to reflect on the amount of times that we actually put him in positions to win stuff and he fell flat on every occasion on a individual level.
The whole not caring about personal accolades stuff is just funny given that he gifted his teammates at Spurs personalised gifts when he broke the 1000 pro goals barrier and his England teammates when he broke the England goal record.
But I don't hold it against Kane that he left. He was going to eventually.
I have bored you all with what that NFL coach told me and he explicitly named Kane in his critique of our issues. He said we had inculcated a culture of losing and the leadership group were the biggest problem. KANE HOJBJERG DIER LORIS... said to a man they set the template and left no room for success he said bin them all (I said whimper...but but but not Kane). Especially kane! How right he was and how clearly Ange sees it is obvious , he said the other day we tried what we were doing it didn't work. Now that's Kane too, good luck to him always think fondly of him but I don't miss him and I can't wait till the rest if his no pressure leaders are off to join him.
I agree to an extent with you as Kane is world class and any team would benefit from him in it, however I also see it as now he has gone other players have seemed to give that bit more , it’s like players could just coast before as they knew Harry would get them out of trouble, now the star man is gone everyone tries a bit harder?Sorry but that guy should stick to the NFL, where apart from one or two stars almost everyone else is disposable and can be traded.
We'd be 10-15% better with Kane in our syde and the Kane 'haters' on here know this.
You're all just acting like jilted lovers and it's quite pathetic to see.
Couldn't agree more.Honestly, the way some Spurs 'fans' are talking about Kane is embarrassing.
You sound like fucking Gooners, let that sink in.

No not really, building your entire attack around a player who can't step up when it matters is dumb. You can see it in the Milan matches, when he failed to step up we immediately ran out of ideas.Sorry but that guy should stick to the NFL, where apart from one or two stars almost everyone else is disposable and can be traded.

Sometimes teams do build their attacks around one player, and it can work out if the player is clutch enough, like Benzema a couple of seasons ago, Kane is just not that guy.That’s on the manager not players. You hire the likes of Jose or Conte, they only trust world class players and we have few of them. If we have 2-3 and the other team has 8-9 all they have to do is stop ours and that’s it.
There is a reason elite players leave us from Modric to Kane. We need to build an elite team, that is very different to having a few elite players.
