Well he's still only 23 so he has time to change, as for inconsistent performances Dembele had plenty of them for about 3 seasons before he produced his best form, even the first half of this season he was inconsistent.

We all know the answer to that.

To be fair Kane had it easier. The two players in front of him one couldn't score and the other couldn't give a shit. Getting into the first team ahead of Eriksen, Alli, Son and Lamela is much harder.

What Bentaleb is a perfect example of, is a player that's overhyped only because of his age. He was ever performing in the middle of the lane, but touted amongst some fans as a future captain. Shows that people only see a certain age and go he is fantastic, without and rational thought process beyond seeing him kicking a ball.

Fair point. I would just prefer him learning with us than sitting it out at Norwich.
Most people on here, myself included, thought Kane wasn’t gonna make it. I have learnt to never make rash judgements. The worrying thing is that it is his attitude that has been questioned rather than his talent, we have seen so many like him at ourselves and other clubs over the years. Let’s hope the penny drops at Norwich what it takes to make it.

Norwich can cancel the agreement.
I want him back training with us at our top of the top training ground with better coaches.

If it hasn't clicked now attitude wise then there's a problem there.

How is that going to benefit him?
Just because he's not making the team, doesn't mean he's not learning some valuable lessons.

It's not just about ability, it's about attitude and mentality. Poch has alluded to his attitude before and needing him to mature.
Saying it’s attitude prob sounds harsh I think it’s more to do with Edwards development in other areas of his game, the ones that probably do not come naturally.
I realise that but why take him on loan. Norwich must have spoken to us about his attitude. Surly you take a loan for immediate impact. They still had a chance of play offs in January. Will be gone after this result today. Honestly if I take a kid on loan for 4 months and he’s better than someone in my squad I couldn’t give a monkeys if his attitude stinks he isn’t my problem long term. I mean Norwich are a football club not some youth rehabilitation centre. Just all seems very odd. .

Not true at all. Most people who actually watched him on his loan spells could see there was a very good chance of him becoming successful with us. None of us could’ve predicted he’d become one of the top strikers in the world of course.

I think Edwards and Onomah could learn a lot from Alli, he’s still got an immaturity, attitude and arrogance about him but from the moment he signed the feedback we got was he constantly worked his bollocks off in training and was given a chance to impress... he hasn’t looked back since. Edwards and Onomah are both talented players but if you’re not prepared to put in the hard work ala Taarabt then you’re never going to fulfil your goals/capabilities.

How Kane can't be the perfect example to our young players about what you can achieve if you work hard, then they've got no hope.

This is probably why, getting him out of his comfort zone so he can learn new experiences, Poch knows he has the ability but he needs to mature as a man and that means he has to fight for a starting spot in the Norwich team. Just because he's on loan the Norwich manager doesn't have an obligation to play him and if he stays at Spurs then what else is he gonna learn?
