I usually dismiss clickbate debates at talkSport, but Adrian Durham and Darren Gough made interesting points today on Kane after his poor performance against Palace. In sum:
- His lack of efforts clearly showed that Kane doesn’t want to be at Spurs.
- Kane will still score every now and then because Kane is Kane but it won’t change the fact that he doesn’t want to play for Spurs.
- Spurs can perform well without Kane because Son is “ridiculously important” for Spurs since he can play center, run behind defenders, has pace for counters and is clinical.
- But Spurs can’t perform well without Son because as good as Kane is, he has no pace like Son, Vardy or Ronaldo to run through defenders or is not suited for counters in the Mourinho/Nuno style of football.
- Kane and Son are deadly duos and have been brilliant together, but without Son, Kane will need better midfielders to create. He probably doesn’t enjoy playing with Spurs’ players without Son.
- Darren Gough said he golfs with some of the spurs players and they all expected Kane to leave this summer and the proceed was going to be reinvested in buying new players to rebuild because in order for the team to evolve, the team has to stop relying on Harry Kane.
Edit: regarding Darren Gough’s statement, it wasn’t clear if the last part (about stop relying on Kane and all) was his opinion or some of the players’ he golfs with.
