Ex-Spurs Player Harry Kane

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Yesterday, I watched Jimmy Greaves on some podcast, and he said that a top striker has to have bottle (or something else beginning with a 'b') to miss chances, ie that he would go for 50:50 balls and he would be able to shrug off criticism from the crowd watching - he admitted he missed loads.
I'm not 'off' Kane because he has a shot and misses, it's more the perceived lack of effort on his part - I want players to run through brick walls for the team, and we just don't have them any more.
I can understand his disappointment in not getting the move he wanted, but it's time to get over his sulk now, and buckle down and start performing for the team who he is playing for.
Agree. Kane's body language screams indifference. Maybe if we can let him bang in a few he will get his mojo back. I personally think Gil can help do that.
 
My definition of world class is Zidane, Van Nistleroy, both Ronaldo’s, Maldini, Carlos, Bergkamp, Henry, Thuram, Ginola…..put Salah there if you want, maybe you wasn’t around when real talent was in abundance.

People can talk about Grealish if they want, just shows today’s levels, when the two best players on the planet are about 70 combined years old
Ginola was fun but not world class really at least not the time he spent at spurs. The rest of the list is tighhhht!
 
They never offered £120 million though, they offered £75m by all accounts.
That's a fair difference in valuation to bridge and they didn't bridge it.

I think most people would have begrudgingly accepted it if the club sold for £150m and re-invested it all back in players in the summer.

But as that was never on the cards we are where we are.
They offered 75m + 25m extra. Levy had to go negotiate it to 90 +30 and that would have been a good deal instead of getting upset that they didnt want to pay 160m to 200m for a slowing striker with bad ankles.
 
But Levy didn’t put a price on him and City didn’t offer one
All rumour
Only fact was that Levy wouldn’t talk to City about it

But I think we’ll do very well to get anywhere near £75 million in January or next Summer
Right. Wasn’t aware of that. Yes I can’t see him going now unless things are so poisoned for him and an offer comes in maybe from overseas. Otherwise I think he’ll get a new contract.

I hope not as he doesn’t deserve one

Keep sticking him on the bench and hopefully his attitude improves then get rid in January if it doesn’t but Levy will demand too dollar which he won’t get

The season went to shit the minute he “committed” to us..and there’s fans sitting here telling me it’s everyone else’s fault.

We went from P3 W3 Scored 3 Conceded 0 when Kane played about 30 minutes in those three games to Kane playing three full games P3 L3 Scored 1 Conceded 9

Must be Winks and Sissokos fault
 
Can we stop the debate over whether Kane is a class player?

It's getting repetitive and boring.
He's obviously a sensational player at his best, but hasn't turned up in cup finals, and it's hard to tell how much he or his team mates are responsible.

A far more relevant debate is what should we do with him now? His mentality hasn't been right as he wants to leave the club, and his form has dipped. Is it better to sell him to City, and if so, what price should we accept?
Good point. On the general understanding we aren't winning the league this season let's set the stall out. We will have nobody who doesn't give 100% physical and mental effort on the pitch. There are plenty of wannabe players who would give anything to put the shirt on and be given a chance. Be proud of the club. Be grateful. Or just fuck off. Whoever they are. It can't be worse if we played the development squad. Send a message. We may not be brilliant but we are proud.

Just my two penny worth 🤣

Sell him in next transfer window. Lose money. Who cares.

It's always Sissoko's fault, even when he's playing for another team ;-)

It's pretty damning, though. Kane's stats in the team this year don't make good reading.
 
Are you suggesting that after all this time, he was the man holding everything together?
:-o

This is news to you?

Yeah I know what you mean. It has left a very bitter taste. I never thought I’d see what we have seen from him so far this season. It would be good to get the whole story but I doubt we ever will.
