Ex-Spurs Player Harry Kane

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Well that’s debatable because if you think Conte earning 20M out of us has little effect, and he came here to work with Kane (who he will sell) then I’m not sure just being delusional covers it

Literally never once said Kane was the sole reason Conte came to us for a start. Just like yourself, people with some sort of agenda just make things up or completely twist words and posts time and again.

And when Conte doesn't sell Kane but plays him every game when fit for the foreseeable future, you're going to have to change your story and come up with some other nonsense.

If Conte does that, then he’s clearly got about as much vision as Poch, Jose and Nuno, and when the same thing happens, you can blame all the old players, all the new players, the owners, the manager himself and demand we sell everyone, sell the club and sack the manger…………except Kane.

Keep Kane
 
Manchester City are tracking Fiorentina's Serbia forward Dusan Vlahovic. The 21-year-old has scored 19 goals for club and country this season. (La Repubblica)


Looks like another ship sailing away…….I wonder why they don’t want Kane?
Pep should speak to Tyler and TFCs true experts on what a striker needs to do

Or maybe Conte actually has some sense and isn't mentally challenged like you in regards to Harry Kane. I'm sure he knows bringing in a striker that has scored 20-30 goals every season in the most difficult league in Europe isn't such an easy thing, and in-particularly when we're closer to being a mid table club currently than a title challenging one.

We would only get Vlahovic if no top club went in for him, which if that was the case would only be because he's not very good. The realism on here, or lack of any, is astonishing at times. There's more chance of us signing Cenk Tosun than a genuinely top player or prospect anytime soon.

It’s astonishing that you can’t understand that had we used some foresight earlier in the past, used a competent scouting system and signed some first team talent to compete with Kane, we wouldn’t always have to lose out to the big clubs later.

But NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
KANE MUST NEVER BE DROPPED!!!!!!!!!!!

No wonder Morata didn’t want anything to do with us, we are a strikers graveyard, and you’re celebrating carrying on with a dead log up top for the next five years
 
It sounds like you will advocate, support and expect the club to sign another Janssen level striker and keep going with the Harry Kane FC vibe into our 8th straight year.

Conte will sign a Vlahovic or Kulusevski type with the sole purpose of replacing Kane for next season.
You should be all over that.

Anyone with eyes can see that Kane is the slowest link in our intended style of play.
It’s not working.
He’s not scoring.
Do you not see that?

Relishing the chance to teach a 28 year old who’s lost what limited pace he had and can’t jump to play in a pressing system when he doesn’t press?
Why do you think this?

If I believed that about Conte, I’d have major doubts over his competence.
Luckily I believe the manager sees what’s happening, and will be signing a couple of highly rated strikers for the immediate future of the club.

If Kane stays, he should be used like Llorente was, but his ego and some delirious fans feel he’s a 45 goal a season City player trapped in a Spurs kit.

I'll admit, your level of straw manning a debate is absolutely astounding, probably the best I've ever seen on a forum.

I've tried to give him the benefit of the doubt so many times. I'm sure he's a good lad. But when it comes to Harry, I really have now come to the conclusion that there's simply no point knocking when nobody is home, and has long left the building.

No such thing as a straw man, told you that before. It’s a silly term people use when they don’t like their logical conclusions showing their views to be contradictory.

You are claiming Conte is relishing the chance to work with Kane and dropping Lukaku hints and implying he’ll turn Kane around.
The logical conclusion to that is won’t we need a replacement for Kane.

Or how do you see it?

Kane was on fire when morata was rumoured to be coming so why would kane be dropped. A top top striker wasnt ever going to come. Second rate one happy with games here and there were the ones that came

A top rated striker may have come to a team that was in ascendancy and looking like putting together title challenges and turning the corner on the trophy front, had he not seen Kane play 90 minutes in every single game even when 4-0, 3-0, 5-1 up in games with 15 minutes left.

If you show a striker he will never, ever play a game unless Kane is injured, and even then, Kane will be allowed to use first team matches as rehab while the new guy sits on the bench, don’t be surprised that they don’t come.

People can call Janssen shit, simple fact is, he got 2000 minutes in three years, and that’s a fucking shambolic disgrace

So a top striker is going to come off the bench for last 15 min of games. You think theyd be happy with that?? Stop will ye. Kane was easily the best striker in the league at the time. Why wouldnt he start every game??

No what I’m saying is quite obviously that Kane should have been rotated and subbed and a top striker given guarantees that this would be the case

Why shouldn’t he start every game?

Err, well let’s see…could it be because three years later he’s an injury prone fat dad who can’t run or jump and has one goal going into December?

Yes, I think that might be it

Ah right and you would have been happy with him dropped at the time 👍
