Timeline for posters on this thread:

2015: He is just a one season wonder. Won’t do it again. Do not want.

2017: He scores goals but anyone would in this Spurs team, with Eriksen, Lamela and Alli supplying him. All he does is score goals.

2021: Sure he leads the league in goals and assists but what else does he do? Can see age catching up with him now. He’s nearly 30.

2023: Ok, he’s a world class playmaker and still scoring goals in a terrible Spurs team but he’s really really close to 30 now. All he does is hold up the ball, play killer passes and score goals. Can see clear decline.

2026: Damn, nearly 300 premier league goals. How did we let Liverpool/Chelsea sign him 3 years ago? Terrible decision again by our recruitment team.
 
If we can get him, its best to go for him with our integral players are well in their 30s or near 30s. Its our best chance to challange for the tittle in the next 1-3 years. Go for uncertainties (young players or coming from abroad) is just putting us on never-ending squad building.

If not for him, then EtH might wanna try to go for Rashford as striker of some sort and go for a left wing such as Mitoma, Kvara...etc. and get one more young striker (if money allow). We need to be ruthless as EtH wants and allow him to change the squad as much as he can and want. Ship any players that he doesnt want.

Problem with posts like this is that the arguments and concerns about signing him for £100m are very clearly outlined with numerous thoughtful posts that rarely receive equally constructed counters. You'd think for the kind of money on the line both sides of the discussion would be strong, but there seems to be numerous attempts to shut discussion down rather than engage.

Kane can be respected and regarded as the player he is without him being a sure thing in a wholly different setup under a set of conditions that mightn't suit his game or what he himself needs to be optimised. I don't know why open discussion that doesn't favour Kane is seen as a knock on the player - there's serious money involved and a potentially damaging pathway should we sign him and it go belly up.

Unless we are under new ownership, what we put into our striker signing will be it for a number of seasons, so it's imperative we get it right.

It’s a concern I share about Martial’s game too, and I love the guy. It was one of the things I was specifically watching on Thursday and last weekend.

I have no problem with dropping deep, but too often Martial drops deep and links with his full back or midfielders, and then when they then progress towards the byline, I check and see that he hasn’t in turn sprinted towards the penalty box. It’s frustrating, and very ‘Arsenal-like’ almost (traditionally speaking). First and foremost, your 9 should be in the box when crosses are going across, and he should also be in the box so that it’s an option in the first place to put something in there.

Take Osimhen, who I don’t think is the perfect fit either, but he is very different. He has a clear and obvious desire to score goals, and whenever his team looks like they are building any play forward - he will be sprinting to try and get into an area where he can score. I don’t think it has to be one extreme or the other either. I don’t see why you can’t drop and join the play, but then sprint into the penalty box once the attack is progressing.

So yes, I have no issue with the position Martial was in when he released Sabitzer. But if Sabitzer was unable to shoot and had to get the ball and turn back, would he have found that Martial had made up/was making up 30/40 yards to then give Sabitzer an option to play him in on goal? Or would he have found that Martial was pretty much in the same position as when he played the pass?

I agree about Kane, he drops deep but then usually doesnt show the pace to get back in to the box. Its my main problem about him.
But as you said about Osimhen, he doesnt really fit our role either because he doesnt drop deep or link up play that well either.
So who is a striker you know that we can get who drops deep to link up play but then works just aswell getting in to finish chances in the box? Because i thought about this before & the only player i can think about is Benzema who has arguably been top 3 players in the world even if hes old & maybe available as a stop gap until we see how players like ferguson at brighton/the next wave of strikers develop.
Do you know anyone?

Nope i've been consistent in my view to look elsewhere. He was similarly anonymous last week, but scored the one chance he got in the second half.

I'd rather we find the next big thing coming into their prime, not the one Spurs have had all his best years from and give them a huge fee.

Will admit he does seem to go missing when things are going against Spurs which is concerning to say the least

"apart from every big game he ever played in".

Such hyperbole, he's got a fantastic record against Arsenal and Chelsea if I'm not mistaken. He scored against Germany in R16s of Euros, and was the golden boot winner in the campaign.

He definitely has games that he failed to put away chances in but jesus almighty if we actually criticised Osimhen the way you critique Kane you would find a mountain more holes.

His final record is abysmal though, that's really what I was referring to. Hyperbole, yes, but in order to make a point.

I don't think the two strikers are really comparable to be honest - based on how they play, but if you will be paying similar huge fee, they both will be heavily scrutinised.

Hes scored 20 plus goals most seasons. Just because he's not focused solely on being a fox in the box doesn't mean he's not a terrific striker.

My point proven. It doesn’t matter where he is.. he’s being brought in to score goals. Looking at plays at him not being in the box in an attack is irrelevant.

If he played for Real Madrid his final record would be amazing. We need to stop acting like he plays for the world best football clubs. He doesn’t. He plays a tier down which is actually below his level.
 
In times gone by Kane would get the nod and be a player utilised in an either or manner. If we were using a #10 or even a hybrid between the lines (#9.5), he'd be up there as a premier player in the world as few can do as much as he can from deep whilst also being so good in the box itself. He'd be the same mold as Sheringham. A much better version of the same kind of player whose pitfalls in terms of declining pace and athleticism wouldn't be any particular issues as his job brief would be more the hammer for those ahead of him rather than the nail we're desperately seeking.

Kane's value would be quite exponential if that role was on the table, but it isn't and we won't play that way to accommodate anyone, I don't think, so the conundrum and concerns remain because what he is very best at in his ages iteration isn't the whole of what we need and is most likely to lessen further as he ages and seeks to be even farther off the CB's to buy himself time and space to play what is clearly his natural game now.

Kane the #9
Kane the #9.5 or even #10

Two different discussions that could well lead to two different conclusions.

He plays for Spurs. Hes the underdog in every final they play, which isn't many. He barely gets chances in these finals.

Genuinely if he scored that penalty for France I don't think we have this conversation.

And if you admit you're resorting to hyperbole to make a point it's a pretty loose point.

For all the moaning about how he drops deep, the guy has won Spurs 22 points this season when they're playing shite and creating nothing. Without his goals they would be in a relegation battle.

That doesn't mean he can't play well. Again, he gets all the excuses. Was he in the under dog team against Croatia? Italy at Wembley?

Not really, the statement on its own is hyperbolic, but the issues that I'm addressing remain there.

Who's being hyperbolic now!

So you're annoyed about his national form in big games and are transcending that to club form. Very odd.

Also that poster didn't call you hyperbolic, I did. And there is a point, that you are shirting on his record and refusing to put the context of which team he plays for. It's fecking spurs.

He has repeatedly single handedly got Spurs 22-24 pts a season in spite of it being fecking spurs of all teams. This is the most impressive point about the player that overrides a couple of international games where he didn't score.

Croatia the whole team sucked, same for Italy. It's so weird how you want to put that all on Kane :lol:

I’m sorry but I’ve got to argue against this. Spurs may be an underdog but it’s the same way Arsenal are an underdog v City next week. You don’t get big underdogs in one off games between quality sides.
That’s when Kane is supposed to make a difference but there’s a reason why he doesn’t. Not just finals but bottling games to the finals when they aren’t this mythical underdog as well.
It’s clear as day he’s slowed way down this season, this is the season he matches the record of headed goals in England and has become his primary source of goals and there’s a reason for that.

Spurs were an underdog against Liverpool in the Champions League final.
Spurs were an underdog against City in the League Cup final.
Harry Kane is still able to produce in various big games including against Chelsea, City, Arsenal and Liverpool.

This idea that he can't score in big games is such a stupid fallacy. I understand it slightly if you bring national cups but even then its broken logic.

Kane has slowed down but has adapted his game to be incredibly impactful, which is why he has scored so many goals and saved a dogshite team with no creativity nor style of play 22 points this season. He is absolutely immense.

Well apparently I'm not allowed to criticise him for his spurs big games as they're the underdog, so I was trying to show an example of his performances when he's in a better team.

I know you did, hence it's under your quote and the bolded part is in your quoted text. I'm not shitting on his scoring record, that's undeniable. I'm questioning his big game record, which is poor - for spurs and country.

You're pretending like these games aren't important though, which I think is the issue.

The Croatia game will always be the game he should have squared it to Sterling!

This is hilarious, you're brining national games to try and discredit a player for a club purchase . It reminds me of when all the Pogba fans tried to hype him as the best in the world when he had 5 good games for France.

Also his big game record isn't as bad as you say, you literally said yourself that you had to resort to exaggerating your point.

He has good records against City, Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea. All of these are big games for Spurs. If he came to us and continued that form it would be incredible. And I'd love to see him in a club that actually maximizes his style. Wed be perfect.

You initially moaned about him dropping deeper too much which again makes no sense given if he did that as much as you claimed, he wouldn't be so prolific as a goalscorer.

And his semi final record? You don’t have to be favourites to win a game, they regularly beat those teams (as you have pointed out) on a weekly basis yet just disappears as soon as the pressure mounts.
I remember him disappearing v us in a FA semi final despite clearly being better than us.
They also seem to go out in big cups games v worse Chelsea sides in a yearly basis.
Let’s just stop pretending it’s Spurs getting as far as they can as plucky underdogs and meeting these super teams in finals.

Spurs are Spurs. You seem to be annoyed that Kane couldn't change that but not even Casemiro can. They're a club that has it in their DNA.

My point is Kanes big game record isn't as patchy as a lot of people like to claim. Just like his injury record - it honestly makes me laugh when people point to the latter and then say they want Osimhen, who actually has a worse injury record.

Surely their best player disappearing every time a do or die game comes along adds to Spurs being Spurs?

I can bring his club games into it, but then you just rebut with - "yeah well it's spurs". You can say they were underdogs in their games, so we're Leicester and Arsenal when they won their finals? So it's shouldn't be out of the realms of possibility he has a good final - he historically hasn't.

I coined big game to really mean the ones where silverware was on the line, rather than an important league game. I have explained it since.

For how we set up, I think it will be an issue how he's playing currently and don't think he's mobile enough to warrant making him out top earner and spending 100m. I don't think I've once said he won't score any goals. If you don't have any worries about it, fair enough, I've told you why I do.

I guess it stems from the very few chances he's had in big games, so there's a confirmation bias. I do agree in a league format, he's scoring in important games.

It is not has; it is will. So then, what becomes of such a post?

Kane has scored and assisted a lot of goals, but are you under the impression people voicing concerns aren't aware of that?

There's a stream of posts voicing reasons why there is concern, especially at the prices touted, which aren't even inclusive of what would be an astronomical wage.
 
He could be used as a #10 with Rashford to the left of him and Martial ahead in certain games, and gradually transitioned into that position as he reaches his mid-30s.

it’s crazy some fans don’t want him - he’s phenomenal.
 
One of the main reasons I’m still interested in Kane is because he hasn’t arguably had a world class coach or manager at the peak of his powers except Pochettino.

When I think about how clever Ten Hag has used his players and even improved arguably 3/4 of his player base then I do wonder how Kane would be for a possesion based team under a possesion based manager.

Then it comes to us and I wonder about what type of team we are planning to be - are we going to control our games with slow precise passing like pep’s teams?
Because even if we do that doesn’t mean we suddenly lose our ability to be a great fast counterattacking team either that can absorb pressure when it comes and make a fast attack quick attack on the other side.

Like @VP89 said Kane has the ability to be useful in the possesion play of our football - holding our play up, slowing it down and bringing others in to play; whilst still being useful as a counterattacking player that can play the final ball in to someone like Rashford or Antony in on goal. All the whilst he isn’t going to lose his ability to be a fox in the box either, scoring for a both a possesion based team, a counterattacking team and from all things like corners and set pieces.

The forward market isn’t blooming at the moment and it’s more like it’s penetrating and showing it’s early seeds. If we go for Ferguson or Hojlund for example we won’t compete for the league next season no matter how good they are. Our best bet is to target an experienced player and replace him quickly like we did with van persie.

Except there has been loads of engagement with those arguments and explanations given as to why he’d be the perfect signing for us. Every time he then doesn’t score for this awful Spurs team, the same people pop back into this thread with “do not want” type comments.

Our absolute main priority this summer is buying a number 9 who can stay fit. Unfortunately, classic number 9s are in relatively short supply. Kane is the perfect fit of those who are available as his hold up play is fantastic and his passing will mean that our other attacking players, particularly Rashford, will be brought into play in a way that we only really do so currently when Martial is fit.

Frankly, given his style of play, I’d sign him if he only guaranteed 10 goals a season but, of course, that’s not the case. He is also one of the most consistent scorers in world football and it would be a big surprise if he didn’t score at least 20 league goals for us, given the supply he should receive

Added to that, he’s also incredibly consistent in terms of availability. He’s basically played every match for Spurs over the last 2 or 3 seasons. We’d be more able to rest him occasionally and keep him fully fit and in top form.

Any other signing is probably more expensive and more risky. I haven’t seen much of Osimhen but what I have seen doesn’t look worth £150m to me. I’d question whether his touch and hold up play is sufficiently strong for the premier league and he could take time to adapt.

This is as close to a no-brainer as any signing could ever be. As long as Kane is prepared to make clear to Levy he is leaving, then a reasonable deal should be possible.

Yes, Spurs that's incredible team that is always in finals.
 
Kane brings goals guaranteed and assists too as he's quite a good link up player.

Downside is his lack of pace and pressing ability.

Definitely don't think Rashford n Antony are the right players for Kane either. Don't think that front three would be that good.
