Ex-Spurs Player Harry Kane

Life will go on and there will still be a Tottenham Hotspur Football Club after Harry, whether that is at the end of this season, next season or in 5 or 6 years time if he finishes out his career here as a one club man.
There was a club here before Harry as well. We finished 5th, 6th, 4th, 5th, 4th in the five seasons 2009-10 to 2013-14, immediately preceding Harry’s breakthrough season 2014-15, we won the League Cup in 2007-08 and finished 5th in both 2005-06 and 2006-07.
He’s been a great servant and goal scorer but it’s dangerous to go down the road of cult following of one player. We’ve lost big players before - Bale, Modric, Gascoigne, Lineker and Hoddle. Life went on then.
This talk that we’d be a relegation side if Harry goes is just silly and hysterical. Bar an outlier of a season in 2016/17 when we finished 2nd with 86 points, we’ve more or less operated at the same level as we did in the decade prior to Harry’s emergence - in or around the high 60’s/low 70’s points wise and hovering around the Top 4 mark.

Bit harsh. I'm trying to look at this objectively. Although sammyspurs puts the point across in quite a jarring way, it's an opinion I'm prepared to consider all available evidence for to come to my own conclusion.
I'm a massive fan of Kane, but in a way feel like Spurs suit his level. Becoming our all time top scorer and getting a statue is what I hope for him - but can't ignore the reality of his statistical track record be it goals scored per season, or input in big games.
My mind is never set in stone. Convince me otherwise, bring new arguments to the table. I could argue for or against Kane in different situations, but without considering the more negative side of things you won't be able to form a rounded opinion I would suggest.
He was never a great player. Averaged 25 games per season over 14 years.
He did start in the 08 final to be fair, but he is often my 'go to' example of a bang average player that won more trophies than some of the most talented footballers in history.
Sure he 'deserved them' as a playing part of those sides, but put him in a squad with 25 players of Wes Brown ability and they wouldn't have won very much.
Cavani staying at Utd so thats one potential destination gone.
How about making Harry player manager?...
Wes Brown was the Ben Davies of that side.
Fergie did great work with players like that, he always knew where a reliable, understated performer could do a job and allow his stars to thrive.
I don't feel the need to convince you of anything. You and Sammy are the equivalent of Flat Earthers trying to convince us that Kane is gash. The majority of the rest of the world disagrees, even non Spurs fans
I keep seeing Kane linked with Chelsea; I can’t see Levy selling to them, but if he did, and Kane was willing to take the silver, it would be on a par with Judas.Telling.
I thought everyone wanted Kane?
What will it be when City choose Haaland then?
“Kanes so good no one thinks hes worth his price”
Good luck with that.
Barca don't have the money to sign Kane or Haaland.

I'm not saying Kane is gash.
He's a top class striker that for one reason or another has failed to produce stats or performances of the level we have grown to expect in our season defining games where we have won or lost.
"has to leave to be appreciated"...
So many people (like myself) who admit right now that he might be the best striker to play in Spurs shirt that we'll see during our lives. But you say one thing about him that is not positive and it means that he is not appreciated automatically. What an overreaction.
It is guaranteed that we'll get a downgrade in his position.
Absolutely - without teams best striker goals we would have gotten worse results. But in terms of mentalty and being that greatest of the greatest, it would be useful to score against those Belgiums and Croatias as well, not only Tunisias and Panamas....
No, of course no one calls to ignore those goals.
These have been very valuable. And Kane is world class striker. We will miss him badly. No arguments here.
Just the point being - he has not proved himself to be the man of the hour in most crutial games.
Just as youself said - "entire team shat the bed" . And that includes Kane as well. Thats all.
No one is saying that he shat it worse. Or he shat it more. Or he should be blamed - absolutely not. He should be blamed lot less, but he still was part of the team and excpected leader of the team that shat itself.
Which is above all down to his destructive tendency to play through injury and be a half-fit shadow of himself by the business end of the season.
He had no business being on the field in the CL Final, to name the biggest example.
I hate the thought of him joining another PL side and being booed when he comes to the Lane. Hopefully, if it does happen. our supporters will give him a great welcome
Shane Long has been as mobile as any forward in his career, would you rather have had him up front instead of Kane over the years?
Some right numpties here.
Greedy yet currently leads the way for assists...
Give your head a wobble. If Kane didn't drop deep at times and actually create for others such as Son, we'd probably be fighting off relegation for fucks sake.
How about player/chairman

Yeah because he's drawn out of attack to bolster the midfield.
Give your head a Canelo.
