When all is said and done I want players who want to play for this club. If they don't then they can jog on. No-one is exempt from this, even Harold.
He's gone to Bayern to trophy pad his career. They aren't winning the league because kane is there. They won the league out of form and with chupo moteng as their striker. Says it all.
In fact, if they don't win the champions league during his time, then he will be deemed a failure.
I get that, but bayern aren't buying kane to win the bundesliga. They can do that with any striker. It will be deemed a failure if they don't.He won't though.
Only Spurs fans will say that, the other 99% of the football fanbase will say what they've said about every player that's left and won any trophy, he had to leave Spurs to win something.

He won't win the ballon d'Or wearing sketchersWhat an indictment on German football. "I left the most competitive league in football because one of the top clubs in the world has such little competition that there is unbelieveable pressure to win every game convincingly."
I suspect the real reason he went there was playing for a team who should go deep into the CL because it's a "giant" with a relatively easy domestic schedule as well as an increased possibility of baloon d'Or. The second is a much greater possibility for a profilic goalscorer in a a less competitive but still one of the "big leagues". God speed Harry but you need a PR specialist around you to train you what to say.
Its the football equivalent of ring culture in the NBA where people try and look down on you if you've never won the NBA Finals.Honestly, to me, it's a bit sad. He doesn't care about allegiances or being held up as a hero, all he wants to do is tick a box that says he won something. That's his sole motivation. That doesn't scream "winner's mentality" to me, more that he's desperate to avoid the embarrassment of having been one of the best players to never win anything.
I’m more annoyed that he was arguing the mentality of the team wasn’t there when he was a big part of said team and could have done something about it. Hell, he said the same thing in 2021 about players not being men or some shit. Can’t always be everyone else.If we're honest with ourselves, we're hurt he's moved on, we're hurt he's telling the truth, we're hurt he's saying what we all fear.

No one with common sense will say that Charles Barkley or Steve Nash weren't great players and aren't deserving of being in the Hall of Fame just because they didn't win anything. Barkley played in the Michael Jordan era and Steve Nash and my Suns used a system that was ten years ahead of its time but never got to the Finals.
This notion that Kane deserves to win something, especially compared to the rest of our squad is rubbish IMO.
Team sports is like that, not everyone will win and that means that many great players will miss out, there is no shame in that.
I think that's it, I think the idea of finishing his career without winning something terrifies him. Everything that he's spent the last decade building goes out the window (to the point where it's almost like he's embarrassed to have ever been associated with us) and he goes off to a league where at least one trophy is all but guaranteed every season.Its the football equivalent of ring culture in the NBA where people try and look down on you if you've never won the NBA Finals.

This. His current posts have tonnes of ex Spurs liking them, Son especially. I don't see him doing that to many of our current players. Even the birthday post from the club that has multiple montages of players was not bothered by him - one would have thought the record goal scorer for the club would have given it a simple like. I mean, well, the club put Son as the largest pic right in the top centre and Kane was positioned so off below, even smaller than Keane, all these said something. But still...Exactly. He wouldn't even have to go to the effort of tweeting anything, just a like here and there would be a really low-effort way to kind of stay engaged with the fans and show that his affection for Tottenham wasn't as paper-thin as it very clearly is. If he'd gone to a club in the same league I could maybe understand his silence but the way he's been about us since moving just seems so off, like he's just "switched off" his attachment to Tottenham and there's no emotional connection there whatsoever.
