Ex-Spurs Player Harry Kane

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Fact is, as good as he is/was, he never/has never really turned up in a major cup final or semi. I'd like him just once to admit that fact and say he could have done more to win a trophy on a personal level.
 
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.
 
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.
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!

now you got a man come in and straight away hes froze out the biggest problem he was dealt with in dier! thats what you call a proper leader. hes not worried about being everyones fake mate. hes here to win
 
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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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?
Granted it’s only been 3 games so this could come back to bite me but I think the time was right for Harry to go , as much as I loved him here he needed to go so we could do a proper rebuild.
 
Of course its a different kind of pressure even if the comparisons are fatally flawed. He's left a weaker club in a stronger league to join a stronger club in a weaker league and has astonishingly worked out the consequences of losing are far more reaching?....No shit Sherlock.

Not sure H has said anything wrong unless of course he was having a dig? In any case he certainly wasn't being inaccurate, BM are perennial winners of an inferior league therefore the kind of comparison being made is superfluous and would have no more value than if he joined Celtic in the SPL.
 
Haaland has never turned up in any final, but it doesn’t matter, he wins the trophies anyway because he plays for a top team (even if it’s a cheat team).

Elite teams win top trophies. It is rare for an individual player to be the main driver of the cup, yes you did have Gerrard back in the day being Roy of the Rovers in several finals or the most obvious Messi in the World Cup.

Man City dominate becuase they have 3 things.

1 money even if it’s dodgy
2 clear direction with DoF and manager who are elite and have an elite style of football
3 patience to build over time and refresh when needed

We don’t have any. It might turn out Ange is that but then we need patience and money. All this leadership bullshit, if you want Roy Keane hard men you can find them in the championship, take 11 hard men leaders and Man City would still rip them apart because they are technically and tactically vastly superior. We have nearly always been the underdog in finals playing against superior players.

Kane is gone, it’s over, we move on. If this club wants to win things we need to move away from being cheap and hoping Bale or Kane or some superman can get us over the line through force of will and build a team that can match or at least get close to City. Then it’s simply probabilities, give it enough time and we will win something. Football is a team game, there won’t be some Steven Gerrard to drag us over the line, it’s not the 00’s anymore.

Board set the standards, they need to support the vision with Ange, show patience and make it clear that we will place winning above all else. Kane isn’t wrong in what he said, it has been said many times by fans, it’s upto the club to change and put it right.
 
what a disgrace why does he have to open his big mouth and belittle our club after all the support he’s had over the years,for what reason?the pressure he’s has at Bayern is no bigger than Celtic or Rangers have in their two club leagues let get it straight,there is massive pressure here and after taking what should have been Mouras place in the Cl final he should be a bit more humble,I lost respect for him when he refused to train for us a couple of years back now I’ve lost all respect for him.moron..

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.

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.

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.
