I’d love to see us try it, Porro has looked so good going toward and his crossing is immense.

I love Deki, but his first 6 months spoiled us and he hasn’t been able to recapture that form.

Porro as a winger will give us something different and provide Kulusevski with some motivating competition.

A very good first game today, he could’ve easily had more than a couple of assists.

A long season ahead, but it’s looking like a brilliant signing and very much needed to help fill the Kane-shaped hole.

Yeah, you can tell how nervous Sonny actually is. It’s a real moment, not a manufactured one - a great behind the scenes video.

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.

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.

I missed it with a work commitment, but sounds like we played good attacking football and stats show we dominated.

Defensive mistakes continue. A new centre back or two ASAP please!

[–] ali_g 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I agree.

It’s still a bit worrying that Levy met with him at all. Hopefully it’s just so we’re prepared for every eventuality.

What a powerful interview. We’re with you, Dele.

Great signing. Winsky going the other way for 10m is the cherry on the top.

Levy getting business done quickly, a welcome change.

Let’s wrap up a centreback or two and give Big Ange a full preseason with the squad.

As a Spurs fan, I haven’t wanted Arsenal to sign Rice. But for that money, I’m ok with it. Great player, but ties up funds so it’s a big gamble.

[–] ali_g 1 points 2 years ago

Get in, hopefully this gets finalised very quickly.

I’m shocked at how good wefwef is already - I was not expecting something this good, this soon.

I’m sure you’ve got grand plans to develop more, but honestly you’ve made the transition away from Apollo (and Reddit) so much easier already.

Thank you so much and keep up the good work!!

Great collection. I spent endless hours playing Capture the Flag in Unreal Tournament, loading up the rocket launch to unleash when someone popped round the corner. Good times.
