Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

If he stays with us and wins fuck all and still ends up smashing Shearer's record, it will say even more about his ability as everyone will know he did the business despite being part of weaker sides season upon season for the vast majority of the time.

It's hard to say because of that league title with Blackburn, but you get the feeling Shearer would have foregone medals to stay at Newcastle even if he hadn't won it.

Some one should ask him out right. "Would have you have stayed at Newcastle even if you hadn't won the league beforehand"

I've always thought this about Kane, and I think the video of all his goals sort of backs it up - kid loves a low, bottom corner doesn't he?
 
Interesting to compare Harry with Haaland this season. Haaland may be great at what he does, but on the strength of yesterday, there are serious questions. Is he a one trick pony, who can be taken out of games now teams are starting to get wise to him?

Harry has been racking them up, season after season now, against the best defences in the league who know exactly what he will do, but they simply cannot stop him. They put multiple players on him, foul him and he still finds a way. Harry has an off game, it's generally because his energy or fitness is off, can't think of a time he's genuinely been in another player's pocket. He adapts his game, rarely gets wound up and repeatedly delivers; goals, assists and killer passes.

Shouldn't even be talking about Haaland in the same breath. Well done Harry, nobody does it better. 👏

Harry Kane is a great player
one thing that should be concerning Coaches and Owners is how many Coaches didn't think he would be a player (not say a great player just a player) yes Harry has worked on his scoring, hold up play etc, But vision of a pass isn't trainable its somethin only a few have, So why didn't these Pro coaches see that, if they had he may have been changed into a midfielder (not say that would be a good thing)
Sorry for putting a spoke into Harry's big day
its just one of my pet hates that too many Pro coaches & youth/acadmey managers are lazy & lack their own ideas

This happens a lot, actually. Coaches anoint a player as the next big thing only to have him utterly fail. Then they don’t rate players with massive potential. The reasons behind this range from laziness to style preferences to personality clashes.

Another cause is the style of play of the player and the team. A team that goes long ball all game will not a fit a player that is good at quick (1, 2, or 3 touch) passing, because quick passing is not valuable to a team that huffs the ball all game.

Yet another problem is that many coaches fail sideways and sometimes upwards. They make mistakes all the time, but their poor performance is rewarded because of their relationships.

I’d be curious to know where are the wankers that dropped Harry from Woolwich and the coaches at Spurs that didn’t see much in him. They should all be out of professional football. My hunch is a lot of them are still around making the same mistakes.
