Ex-Spurs Player Harry Kane

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Bale is definitely a better player than Kane and had a much higher ceiling. He's scored in multiple CL finals for a start.

I can accept people thinking Bale had a higher ceiling and he was definitely more explosive and exciting but “much higher ceiling” is such silly hyperbole.

I have seen Kane have brilliant games. He absolutely had PSG on strings first leg. That seems to be forgotten because they lost the second leg, even though he also scored in that..

He also scored home and away vs Madrid. I also watched him absolutely boss Chelsea, Woolwich, city, Liverpool in various games with us.

Kane gets less hype for this stuff because he is a bit awkward and not aesthetic. He is more consistent than Bale was with many more top level seasons. Bale just played for peak Real Madrid.

You have already referred to Kane and PSG in the first leg. Bayern still lost.

When else has Kane been the star player in a big big game?

Put very simply Bale made a bigger difference in the very biggest games.

Kane is better now, which is why I certainly am not criticising him of late.

And I certainly see similarities with Haaland and the very biggest matches, although he does arrive maybe a bit more than Kame did.

Levy didn't have any cash to stump up. Blame the Lewises and Collecott
So he was happy for 25 years being a powerless doormat ?

Not Buying That 90 Day Fiance GIF by TLC


EDIT: longer if consider their shit tenure at other clubs
 
As I said , you are saying Levy was their doormat for 30 plus years . So at very best you are saying he was a weak fall guy happy to eat shit for 30 years . Not a great look but if it makes you happy go with it

No, I'm saying he wasn't culpable for any lack of funding the club had. We had a billionaire owner who put Collecott in charge of ENIC finances since 1998.

Levy worked miracles to get our finances to where they were with basically no owner investment.

Put simply, you’re wrong. He just had a better PLATFORM. Madrid at their best were amazing and won European cups WITHOUT Bale. They had Ronaldo, Modric, Kroos, stars fucking everywhere. Bale was just a piece of that who had his moments.

Countless times. I mentioned the various star games he had in my last post FFS.

Just utter nonsense. Kane is far better in “big games” than Haaland - it’s just Haaland has had a career playing for a better side.

Fair enough. Your opinion..
