"Our Spurs XI team beat a Birmingham City XI 6-3 in a training ground friendly at Spurs Lodge this afternoon.

Harry Kane scored a hat-trick in the first half with further goals from John Bostock, Tom Carroll and Souleymane Coulibaly."


Start Kane vs Everton? He's scored like 10 goals or something insane this pre-season already!


Edit: 8 goals in 6 games.

That's no Darren Bent, didn't he hit near 20 for us one season. Only joking, got to start him in Europa against Hearts c'mon Harry

Harry Kane is a goal machine. What a prospect he is. Id love to see Kane, Coulibaly & a few others in the Europa this season & see if they can continue their top potential in competitive games!

Enough is enough. Forget Llorente, forget Rossi, forget Forlan and forget Adebayor, start Harry Edward Kane.

Kane seems to be doing all the right things to give himself a chance. Good to see Bostocks name.

pretty unlikely Kane will get a run out in the europa when we are only playing with one forward in the league as long as we have 4 senior strikers which all need games as well.

Surely it would be better for him to be loaned out for the season.

I think if any PL or Championship clubs came in for him on loan, he should go. Yes, we may see him 2 or 3 times as a sub in the Europa, but he could easily get 35 games this season at Championship level.

I really want him to score the winner against Arsenal one day.

So we can see the headline "Spurs Kane Arse"

But Coulibaly had the final word when he battled for possession in the left channel, turned inside his defender and then hit an unstoppable curler into the top corner for 6-3.

great to see the two new youth acquisitions settling in and performing, as well as our already established prospects doing the business!

Harry Kane scored a hat-trick in the first half as our Spurs XI team toppled a Birmingham City XI 6-3 in a training ground friendly on Tuesday.
John Bostock, Tom Carroll and recent arrival Souleymane Coulibaly were also on the scoresheet in an open, entertaining encounter at Spurs Lodge.
Another new arrival, Cristian Ceballos, looked lively in a 90-minute shift.
The first half certainly belonged to Kane as he provided a masterclass of finishing to complete his treble in the space of just 14 minutes.
The visitors - with a familiar face on the sidelines in new boss Chris Hughton - took the lead in the fifth minute but we levelled 20 minutes later when David Bentley picked up a poor defensive clearance and Bostock fed Kane, who fired low into the corner from 18 yards.
It was soon 2-1 as Bostock swept home Andros Townsend's cross at the far post. Townsend, as always, provided a constant threat down the left.
The third goal arrived after 34 minutes as Kane rose to power home his header from Ryan Fredericks' cross.
The young forward made it 4-1 with his hat-trick goal, calmly lobbing over the advancing goalkeeper after Carroll sent him clear.

The Blues pulled a goal back just before the break but we were back on the front foot at the start of the second half as Coulibaly, Ceballos and Massimo Luongo all went close.
It was no surprise that it was 5-2 just after the hour and a fine team goal as Coulibaly spun away from his marker before playing in Kane who drilled in a low cross finished first-time by Carroll.
Birmingham enjoyed a good spell after that, pulled it back to 5-3 and forced David Button into a couple of fine saves.
But Coulibaly had the final word when he battled for possession in the left channel, turned inside his defender and then hit an unstoppable curler into the top corner for 6-3.

Spurs XI: Cudicini (Button, 46); Fredericks (Waller-Lassen, 46), Livermore, Nicholson, Townsend; Bentley, Carroll, Luongo, Ceballos, Bostock (Coulibaly, 40); Kane.

I think the club's got it right. Players have to stand out on loan at lower level clubs like Caulker and Walker did last year, if they do that then they step up to the first team squad.

Get Kane and Coulibaly decent contracts at Championship clubs and see how they go.
