What a player Harry is.

I remember when he was breaking into the squad and he looked so… average.

I admired his work rate, but he was never going to make it.

Yes, he popped up and scored a lucky goal. and did it again. And again. And, that was a decent finish too.

But he couldn’t even cut it at Leyton Orient.

Mind you, his work rate is good. As is his ability to close down the opposition.

But you need more than that to lead the line at Spurs. A lot more.

I admit his ability to keep the ball in the corner when we’re protecting a lead is… ok, it’s pretty much fucking world class!

And you know what? This kid has heart.

I like him. And yes, I can admit he’s a bit better than I thought, but he’s still never going to make it because… holy shit that was a great finish. And, wow, that was a silky pass…

His humble beginnings would never have revealed what was to come.

The moments, the memories.

The epitome of hard work and determination.

Not to mention, our leading scorer of all time.

I’m sad to see him go, but honoured to have a generational player - one of our own - serve us for so well and for so long, even if it wasn’t quite long enough.

He’s the most complete striker in world football today - and now other fans will agree.

I believe him when he says this isn’t goodbye, though only time will tell in what capacity he comes back.

It’s the end of an era. But the beginning of a new one too.

And while we will miss Kane, we can equally look forward to what Big Ange is cooking in the kitchen for us next.

COYS, Daniel.

His ending about never knowing what could happen makes me feel like he will be back and end his career here.

[–] coys25 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

It's all part of the plan. He goes and plays at Bayern for a year or two, nets the club £100m, which they spend on new talent. Then he starts the rumblings that he misses London and wants to come back and secure the scoring record, forcing his way back, to sign on a hometown friendly deal of £100,000/week. Kane and the new acquisitions (with Bayern's money) dominate the league and Spurs win three consecutive titles.

You heard it here first! Charlie Kane and Levy playing 4d chess.

@Typeo @ali_g I'd be shocked if Kane doesn't end up back at Spurs to finish his career. He's still got that all-time Premier League record to beat yet. Unfinished business, for sure.

@TiffyBelle @Typeo @ali_g @spurs People seem to think he can just waltz back in 4 years, as a 35-year old, and score 48 goals before he retires. Not impossible sure, but I really don't see it happening.

I think he'll end up regretting not beating Shearer's record when he had the chance. Which is sad.

[–] ali_g 3 points 1 year ago

I agree. He’ll probably end up back with us, but will fall short of Shearer’s record.

While I don’t blame him for wanting to win trophies, he won’t be unique - hundreds of professional players win trophies in Europe every year.

Le Tessier is lauded, and rightly so, for being a one club man who could’ve left to more competitive teams. A good player, but not in Kane’s league.

If Kane stayed, whether he won a trophy with us or not, he would’ve achieved something special in modern football. A world class player, who could’ve played for any club of his choosing, but decided to persevere with his boyhood club and broke records instead.

Oh well.

@JimBliss @TiffyBelle @Typeo @ali_g @spurs

Yeah I think it will be difficult. Not because of his age but because the Premier League will have moved on stylistically.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

@JimBliss @Typeo @ali_g @spurs Certainly a fair point.

I guess it remains to be seen whether or not he'd go on to regret that. Can't help but think if he helped propel Bayern to a CL win and picked up that level of silverware he'd see sacrificing that record as worth it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

@TiffyBelle @Typeo @ali_g @spurs If he wins the Champions League with Bayern, then the move will have been vindicated probably. I just think it's less likely they'll do that in the next 3-4 years than him breaking Shearer's record would have been if he'd stayed.

Will be interesting to see what Bayern want for him with 1 year left on his contract in three years. 😄

I'm not crying, you're crying 😭

Best of luck to him and hoping for good things from Ange and the boys this year.
