Ex-Spurs Player Harry Kane

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Ok there’s zero written about this anywhere. Who’s the source? Igula Igula ?


There’s the report that two of our players have been hit by it. The rest is speculation but apparently by quite a few relatively reliable people.

We will just have to wait and see.
 
We’re truly fucked, the renaissance was meant to be six games ago. It ain’t happening.

On the bright side though, Liverpool have hit peak form and Salah just scored a worldie

:dempsey:
 
Bright side to you perhaps
It’s funny the way some of you think. Why would I be enjoying this?

Remember I’m one of the people who wanted Kane dropped in certain games years ago. I’m in the camp that thinks Kane has become little more than a lumbering bore who can get on the end of things and needs 137 shots to score 23 goals.

I’d prefer to have an entertaining striker here who maybe only scored 15 goals but shot 30 times and passed the rest. You know, for the benefit of the team.

I’m one of those who thinks him starting in the CL Final was a travesty of justice to this club.

So this IS the bright side for you and your ilk.
You enjoy Kane, and get to see him every week (apart from those weeks he’s not available because he’s not turning up for his team as he wants to leave)

For me, it’s a disaster, and one I predicted about 3 years ago. All so avoidable, but the incompetence at the club decided Golden Boots mean more than Spurs itself.

And some of you twats agree.
 
These next few games, Kane is really going to have to show up and prove his doubters (including myself) wrong. I'd really like him to grab the game by the scruff of the neck and win it for us when it looks like we're down and out. Son, Lucas and others have done it time and time again against good opposition. Can Kane do it against a relegation level side?

This is the key here, for me proving himself would be just by doing that regardless of a personal assist or goal.

Be the driving force behind victory, be world class, be a leader.

But for some, none of the above matters if he taps one home at some point

What he can do is finish top scorer season after season. Often in the Premier League as a whole and not just for us.

Finishing top scorer season after season isn't saying much if he's taking more than 2x the amount of shots as the next player. It's not an efficient way to play football.

Kane took 3.9 shots per game vs Son's 1.8 per game. Yet he only had 2 more open play goals that Son last season.

If he was a player that was able to create for himself, then I'd understand. But a player like Kane that can't create for himself taking 2x the amount of shots is questionable. The only way you get away with it is if a player is scoring at an ridiculous rate like a Lewandowski or prime Messi/Ronaldo.

How about playing like a striker and doing the little unglamorous things like winnings headers, holding the ball up, making unselfish runs, being physical in the box etc.

I don't remember you predicting that he would be the premier league top scorer and top the assists chart in the same season though

All I see from you is a twisted delight in seeing the the man who has been the Tottenham Hotspur top scorer for the last 7 seasons, having a poor start to the season - as if it proves that you are gifted with a second sight.

I think you will find that the twat on this site is you Sammy, only someone like you could commit yourself to a crusade against the Spurs top scorer for the last 7 seasons in a row.

You are suffering from something called an obsession, like Mark Chapman had for John Lennon.

Look how that ended

The last 7 seasons, and you think he's shit

There's only one bright side for me Sammy - and thats seeing you banned from posting, because it means we get a break from your obsession

And you think I have a problem with the way I think.

Who would you expect to score more goals:

Striker A: Takes more than 2x the amount of shots as the next player. Attack is centered around him.

Forward (non striker) A: Takes half the amount of shots as Striker A. At times, deployed as a wingback.

Forward (non striker) B: Takes 1/8 the amount of shots as Striker A. At times, deployed as a wingback.

The problem with the way you think Mick
(One of the many I might add)
Is that you seem to have forgotten that he doesn’t want to play for us anymore and acted like a spoilt brat to leave during the summer
He wants away quite clearly and this season his form has fallen from a cliff for us and for England

He isn’t Spurs
Just another greedy snake

One of our own?
Don’t make me laugh

ps I know I’m on ignore but I know you’ll read this and you’ll probably bring up Sissoko again which is your main argument
Played well today I’m told

Toodles

I couldn't give a shit
7 seasons in a row, club top scorer - 3 of them the premier league top scorer, I really couldn't give a flying fuck about number of shots

What I care about is number of goals

here's a good stat for you.

divide his transfer fee by the number of his goals

PM me - I'll give you some advice on how to get a life
