Ex-Spurs Player Harry Kane

Wonder if he will end up at LAFC with Sonny and Lloris in the next couple of years.
I wouldn't put him above Greaves.
Or Bale for that matter. Gazza was also a phenomenon. Hoddle was before my time, as was Greaves, but the latter evidently had an incredible impact.
Not sure Bale can go down as Spurs greatest ever player , for me the contradiction being he goes down as the greatest ever British player imho .
Wasn’t here long enough at the top of his game. Bit like Ronaldo at United.
Club has been lucky enough to have some seriously talented players down the years from Greeves, Mackay, Blanchflower to Hoddle, Waddle and Gazza right upto to Bale, Modric and Kane.
Bale, Modric and Kane I at least saw a lot so can make a judgement and it’s very hard to split them ability wise, each world class in their role.
He brutalised Chelsea and clearly enjoyed it. He is still better at everything that matters than any Centerforward at our club.
Never understood why Barca or Real didn’t pay £100m for Kane from us. He is better than Lewondoski and Mbappe, that was obvious even with us, probably the only complete striker in world football currently.
Well, Barca doesn't have the money. And Kane is older and not as marketable as Mbappe, who Madrid had been chasing for years.
Barca always find a way to get the money, Real yeh true but from a football perspective Real don’t need all of Rodrigo, Mbappe and Vini, they need an elite central striker.
Not anymore.
They haven't spent anything near a Kane-type fee since Covid, and that's with selling the copper pipes out of the training ground.
That club would be absolutely, comprehensively fucked had they not produced an all-time burst of talent for free out of La Masia.
Because he's a loyal married man with kids, a bit dull, talks funny, and looks like haley joel osment with a healthy BMI. I don't mean that to be a criticism, but simply how it works - his personality is a positive to his position as a role model and sportsman, but a negative in terms of his celebrity.
Barca and Real have always relied very heavily on the "aura" of a player and all that bullshit. Kane is never really going to be that marketable so I guess they don't find him as alluring. Which is of course total nonsense from a sporting POV, but that's how it has always been. IMO it's the key reason why he'll never win a Ballon d'Or. I still think the only reason Michael Owen won one was because he was an arrogant twat who hyped himself up constantly, which is just not part of Kane's persona. It's a popularity contest, so you kind of have to be a bit of a knob.
Barca didn’t have the money and say what you will about Mbappe he’s very very very fucking good, willing to wait for them on a free, and 5 years younger.
The City move was the one that made sense but COVID money uncertainty and Levy made it fall thru in 2021. Bayern just filled the vacuum
... or any other club.
True, he is the best player of his generation and that’s his lane. His Hugo Boss ad is the best thing that ever happened to Ralph Lauren.
