Harry Kane

[wrd]

He's telling some truth, but then you go deeper into details and "not winning 2 games isn't a disaster" is also on him when he was our best player and vice-captain. "It hurts watching other English players watching doing well in CL" but then you know our best CL run was when Kane was injured and then didn't play well in final or that he didn't score any non-penalty goals in 8 CL games last season.

Perhaps we are perceiving it differently, I got the impression he didn't like that attitude with regards to the response to not winning. I'm also taking into account the team meeting in the doc where he seemed angry at the others during a team meeting.

The CL run is the hair in the soup, I agree. I think Poch made the wrong call, easy to say in hindsight. Moura starting and Kane, furious on the bench coming on and using his energy on 30 minutes seems a better approach. I don't wish to argue against that frustration.

What a mug , your club captain you should want to win every game no matter what, stop talking shit

Hes never been club captain. I agree you should want to win every game but that starts at the top of the club. When your objective is to be top4 you aren't targeted to win every game.

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.

Edit - and how fucking hard would it be for him to say a word or two about our start to the season? He doesn't have to be asked about it, just a passing "yeah no obviously I've seen they've started well, good luck to them" or something. No tweets, no nothing, it makes him look like a prick imo.

This is where I stand. He could've been an absolute god amongst men, and he binned it off for what? A couple of trophies where the club is engraved on the trophy at the start of the season?

It just tells me that romanticism in football is dying and it's really sad.

Mate men playing netball are in no position to look down on anyone.

When you're as tall as Larry Bird or Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, you can look down on just about anyone.

Dying? It's been dead for several years, at least at the top levels of the game.

I’m not going to slag Kane off but I don’t give a fuck how he gets on anymore. Quite nice to watch England and not feel like you have to defend him from the general English public, who’ve always seemed to hate him. All about Maddison now

Sheringham went to Man Utd, won everything with them in front of our faces and then came back to Spurs a few years later when he was too shit for Utd. He also said publicly at the time that he left to win trophies.

And Kane’s move has somehow annoyed you more? I find that a little bit weird in the context we’re speaking about.

I dont remember saying I was annoyed and I only stated I was more upset that Teddy left. Ease up fella. Harry was a great player for us and he is gone. Thats all she wrote.

It’s all good. I was just pointing out the irony of being more upset at someone who admitted he wanted to leave to win trophies. Not a dig at you for preferring Teddy, we all have our favourites. It was more in context for the fans disliking his latest comments.

On Twitter there are several posts saying stuff like ‘Bale or Modric would never disrespect Spurs like this’….. Bale refused to train with us until he got his move and Modric publicly stated he wanted to join Chelsea while he was our player. It’s all a bit weird that Kane is getting this hate from sections of fans (not you) when his move has been pretty straight forward, abroad and for lots of money.

As you say though, he’s great and he’s gone.

His quotes didn't bother me in the slightest, didn't really register. I guess I was pointing out for me at least, hes gone and it doesn't matter what he did say and what he may say in the future.

If Harry has any bad feeling about staying at Spurs too long or out growing us, he can only blame himself. He was the one that signed a 6 year contract and made that noddy, Charlie, his agent.

I have very little doubt in my mind that he didn’t stay with us through loyalty, more down to the failure of his brother securing a move away.

Regarding he’s silence on social media, I’m sure we had ITK years back that Bale wasn’t allowed to tweet / interact with us on social media, something to do with he’s contract, maybe Kane has something similar.

What he said does hurt, but it’s also true. Most pundits pinned us for top 8 this year, and never have us challenging for the title most years. We don’t have a big club mentality as not enough is invested on field. Even most fans at the beginning of this season had us down for top 6. Can’t imagine any Bayern fan would find that acceptable. Levy cares more about the infrastructure of the club than the team.

We are just not comparable to Bayern and never have been. Levy has made a lot of mistakes but you can’t seriously hold him responsible for us not dominating the league the way Bayern do. Bayern are far and away the biggest club in Germany. We are maybe the fifth or sixth biggest club in England behind the likes of Man U, Liverpool, Arsenal and in modern times Chelsea and Man C.

 

[glacierSpurs]

I just remembered he lost the DFL Supercup to RBL in his first game with Bayern. Must be a disaster. Too bad another runners up medal for him.

 

[jay2040]

Not a mug; he’s just being honest. The club he plays for now is the flat track bully of German football. Spurs were never that, thankfully.

Yep would have been tricky being a bully in German football without being based there!

Not sure what planet you are on? He was not God amongst men!
He was here nearly a decade and won nothing so moved on .......

Your interpretation of romanticism is what is sad!

 

[Gassin's finest]

Let it go, guys. Don't conflate what he may think about the club with how he feels about the fanbase. It's clear this move was needed by all, and it's working out for him and spurs.

I think you’ll find that will instantly stop now he’s left us.

 

[timfrancis]

People seem very concerned that he isn't acknowledging Tottenham or its players.

I think that it may be an instruction from the Bayern media people to get the message across that Bayern are the only thing that concern him now, so that should he hit a sticky patch there, nobody can say "He's not 100% committed to us, he's still looking over his shoulder at Spurs."
