Ex-Spurs Player Harry Kane

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

I know people defend Harry and his performances, his ambitions and what have you, with religious fervour, but I am at breaking point with him. I actually get angry just thinking about it. People bite their tongues on this, because they know what they will have to face, and sure, there are some trolls knocking around this place. I long for the days of a more mobile striker who can/will press, for starters. It will be less controversial to go into detail on this if he leaves.

I've put this simply as...accountability dose not stop at the other nine outfield players Kane has failed along with his colleagues. I excuse him in the fact he has been mismanaged for big swathes of his Spurs career. He needs to compete for a place along with every other players he needed also to be rested and not rushed back from injury. We have NEVER done this. For all the love Bale gets would we have more points giving the 250k a week he gets to Dusan Vlahovic or Andrea Belotti or Patson Daka to actively compete with Kane or alongside him. I think we have way more points. #NOMOREUNTOUCHABLES

Agree, imagine what his scoring record would have been for us with a great midfield and defence behind him.

That's why if he goes to somewhere like city, he will win trophies and score even more.

Some of you should have a look at postiga, iversen, Armstrong and rebrovs tallies, because that is what we are returning to if Kane leaves.

When comparing tallies can you show me how many other strikers since greaves played for seven seasons here
 
Kane will go to city and in the first match we play against him, our first choice keeper, Joe Hart, will save all of his shots, and his replacement, the magnificent Levy-acquired Borja Baston, will score a hat trick against them. You heard it here first.

So ArcspacE ArcspacE
You disagree, why not list the games Kane played that reached the heights of Ajax, Inter, Milan and City away for 4th and City away CL?

Then list all the goals he scored in them?

Random PL game against Woolwich need not apply

Chavs 5:3

All the fucken NLDs - we were wipping boys for those cunts for 20 years, mate


Don't be kidding
 
I don't know why we don't sign another to play striker alongside him and play him as a number 10. He drops back so much nowadays he's not really playing as a number 9.

Stick a fast, pacy finisher alongside him and let him play as a 10 a la Sheringham and he can do that role no problem IMO.

Kane will move to city and clean up with all the trophies under the sun and will break even more records. Then the people on here giving him stick for single handily not winning us trophies, will then be eating their words. Kane has his faults, but some spurs fans on here are an embarrassment. The guys goal scoring record for this club is beyond ridiculous and you got the cheek to call him out ? He can’t do it all on his own ffs. It’s not his fault he has the worlds shittest defence behind him fucking up game after game. Kane goes, this club falls faster than an avalanche and you spoilt fucks on here won’t know what’s hit you when we get a far inferior replacement. You will all see.

Relax.
Of course we will get inferior replacement.
And of course he will win titles.
Of course we will miss his contributions to massive extent.
Of course we'd all prefer to see Kane to play for us until the end of his career.

Maybe only Sammy would be arguing against this.

Other than him, I can't really see others blaming anything significant on him. Nor saying that now winning trophies would be mainly down to Kane.
But take it however you like, he is not 100% free of guilt either. Or would you say he is?
Can you recall what has been his most important single goal for us? Honest question, not trying to troll or anything.

Name your most memorable moments since ENIC took over.
I’d go for Chelsea and Woolwich 5-1’s, , Chelsea 2-1 after 16 years, Carabou 2008, City away Crouch, Inter and Milan, Wigan, Real at Wembley, City and Ajax CL.

Kane played one, and scored 0.
Simple fact is that there hasn’t been euphoria on that level in many games Kane has played and he’s been first team since 2014

Have posted previously about Kane's lack of contribution in significant games, though I went with cup game quarter/semi finals we have won;

(Opponents: Brentford, Chelsea, Woolwich, Sheff Utd. Ajax, Man City, Swansea, Millwall)
Played: 6 (1 as sub)
Scored: 1 penalty
Assists: 2
MOTM: 0

The stand out players in these games were arguably Sissoko, Rose, Dele, Eriksen, Lucas & Son.

But what I'm curious about - is since ENIC took over, which strikers have had the most significant impact on our style of play if not Kane?
I think there's an argument that having a player like Kane allows room for different sorts of players around him. A lot of the ENIC era pre Kane, we played 442, big man little man.

For me it's Berbatov. The guy oozed class. Scored fewer goals than Kane over a shorter period of time - but he would be my pick. For me he's just a naturally better footballer. He didn't run his bollocks off pressing, Keane was more into that kind of thing.

Harry has scored 9 goals against teams in the top 10 positions in the EPL and 12 goals against lower half teams. So bollocks he does not score against better teams.
He is the leading goal scorer and leading assists in the EPL despite not having a decent midfielder in the Spurs team to give him more assists.
He has the highest GPG in the entire history of the EPL.
And he would make Man City a worse side?
Give to me a break!
100% WUM.

Harry has scored 0 league goals this against Citeh, Chavs, Leicester and Dippers. Those are the sides in 1st, 3rd, 4th and 5th, the last 4 sides to win the league and the 4 sides that have accounted for all of the last 8 league titles.

He has indeed scored twice against Spammers, twice against Everton, a penalty against Leeds and one against Woolwich. Those four are not the better teams in the league as their positions in the lower ranks of the top half of the table bears out.

You ask which major games Kane scored in and get a list of PL games that ultimately led nowhere

Beating Inter and Milan also led nowhere in the CL but neither did we expect it to.
For Spurs to beat a mid table Liverpool team 4-1 when we were considered one of the best teams in Europe isn’t really doing it for me

Done all this months ago mate, he hasn’t scored against a single team that was actually top 6 at the time of playing them I believe

People squeezing in west ham, lol
How did he do at their place when they were actually decent

Of the 21 league goals Harry has scored this season, just one of those goals was from open play against Citeh, Man U, Chavs, Dippers, Leicester (the 3rd goal in the 6-1 win at Old Trafford). Those are the top sides and have been the top sides throughout Harry’s career. It’s what you do and the results you get in those games that are the difference between us skulking around 6th or 7th or punching higher.

There’s many here who rate Harry as the best striker in the world. If he is, he’s going to be judged by higher standards than filling his boots against West Brom or Crystal Palace.

He's scored more goals against Leicester than any of other team in his career btw

And his record against the top sides this season says more about how dogshit the entire team has been and how we've set up like pussies against every top side over the past 18 months. Don't understand what some of you what kane to do when we're set up with 11 men behind the ball camped on our own penalty box against anyone decent.

Under Poch when we actually attacked teams he scored against every team you listed there, but again its not hard to understand that players score more goals against shit teams than against good ones. For example Salah only has 3 goals against the top 5 oppo in the league this year, Calvert-Lewin only has 1 (2 if include Liverpool who are 6th ) Bruno has 2...

Thanks for confirming my stats about Harry's superb record against the top ten.
 
If Spurs had any ambition, which we all know our gutless chairman and board don’t, we would reassure one of our best ever players that we are massively strengthening the defence this summer. Show him we mean business. Promise him we will do everything we can to try and challenge the big trophies next season by actually spending big money on the field. If still we win nothing, he can go with all our blessing next year. But, we all know our penny pinching fucks harbour no ambition in that sense.

If we are going to go back in time, can I go back in time and say Dele should start every game because he fucked up Chelsea a few times in 2016
