Very true and good analogy although he did win things and DID make the difference when it mattered most.
Mind you he and his family were threatened by all accounts if he were to have gone to Chelsea.

This, all day long
I remember Matt Le Tissier talking about why he never moved from Southampton despite having a number of offers from the top clubs over the years. He said he preferred being a big fish in a small pond rather than a small fish in a big pond. If Kane were to move to any of the other top clubs in world football, he would still be considered a top player, but he would just be considered another top striker to them in a long list of top strikers.
What do modern players want at the end of the day? To make some decent money, to win silver wear and to me remembered. Harry’s on some pretty decent money and he’s well on his way to being top scorer for Spurs, in the EPL and for England. He doesn’t need to win a bucket load of trophies to confirm his legendary status like Ronaldo. If he goes to Man City, he’ll never be remembered like Aguero is and I’ll definitely never forgive him. He just needs one or two trophies and he’ll have a statue in front of our stadium for all time.
In my opinion, he won’t leave. Not because he’s got three years left on his contract or because no one can afford him but because he wants to be remembered as a legend and he’ll only achieve that at Spurs
Keep the goals piling up and those records of Greaves and Shearers are Kane’s......Even one league title would be the cherry on top, imagine being that player, to be part of the first title winning side since 1961, he may even be Capitan in a year or two and that would be even better to see Harry lift that title above his head, along with being the greatest striker in the history of English football.....
If Levy has any sense he will appoint a good manager with a short term vision, to acquire the perfect team regardless of age or sell on value to win a title within 3 years.....
Em sarcasm?
What, Levy and Sense?
No appointing a manager with a short term view to try win trophies
He's not just bailing like that. Been here through thick and thin and who can begrudge him if he wants to move on to win a meaningful trophy? He's ground himself into the dirt for us at times, saved us on numerous occasions and been part of the most exciting period of spurs (poch era...mostly) that I and many others can remember.
If he goes, he goes with my support and if he stays, I love him a little bit more.
I’m 100% for it, a prime Mourinho if you like, who that is? Not sure....But I’m done with this build a squad “project” bollocks, it really only drags out the disappointment over a longer period of time....Manager in, back him with a decent window to build a team for a season, or two at most, built around Kane of course....No appointing a manager with a short term view to try win trophies
Key point there being that he won the CL and various other trophies. Big difference.

Fair enough mate.
No player that plays for us and who I consider an asset has ever gone with my support.
I just find that perverse, as though these players play for free.
"..If I was Harry Kane, nothing would piss me off like ex-pros and pundits weighing in on what he should do for the good of his career. That’s a bandwagon I’ll happily watch roll by. I’ve got way too much respect for Harry as a player and a man to offer him advice on a decision that I know for myself is rarely linear and that may not, in the end, be his to make. What I would say, though, is this: if he’s going to leave, it looks like this summer or not at all..."
Harry and Hugo picking the team for the cup final I reckon. Mase and Ledders doing the admin.
Harry kane player Manager next season.

Is H injured for the final?
I've been sitting here grinding my teeth while reading through the long comments sections of both a Guardian and DM article about Kane/Spurs in which the majority consensus seemed to be that Kane isn't good enough for RM/Barca/some other elite teams, isn't world class, doesn't deserve to be in the running for PL POTS this year, and just generally isn't that good. This is what I'm talking about when I say that Spurs fans tend to overestimate how his legacy will be looked upon if he maintains this status quo. It turns out people don't really care about a player's extenuating circumstances, like having to play with a significantly weaker team. You're expected to put up the same weekly highlight reel as any other player, regardless of who you're playing for or against.
Love the lad. True professional to the end. Jose could learn something from him!
He's also not stupid.
Jose will go back to Sky as a pundit, he'll "not talk about spurs" then go on to talk about Spurs. He'll big up Kane (why not any manager will) but he'll muscle in on Kane's management team, his brother, with his skilled super-agent Mendes who'll recognise he's there for the taking, he'll eat his brother alive, he'll smell blood (I would). All will be done in plain sight of his brother, even making it look like his brother is in control, whilst he'll be pulling the strings.
Multi-million kickbacks, keep a look out.
