Has to find balance between being a playmaker and striker. So many times we worked the ball upfield and he's nowhere to be found.

His wait for a trophy continues ...
Poor guy had a very good game too before extra time.
First half maybe. Rubbish in the second.
Needs to stop trying to be something he's just not. He doesn't have the legs to drop deep.
Worst case for Tottenham fans clinging to the hope that winning this one would mean he was comfy with just treading water at their club for a few more years.
He's racking up a few final losses now.

no he had a very good 45 minutes and then did nothing for the next hour
Going to have to leave Spurs to win anything
Best he played in the tournament for the first 20 mins then England just tried to hold the score and he got lost in the churn.
WC diver as well.

Looked exhausted. Overall a decent enough tournament though I thought.
Pretty much piss wank until the first half against Italy.
His mobility is falling off a cliff
I think any club would be mad to spend over 100m for him. He's still class in many ways, in certain moments, but the drop off is coming and I think it'll be steep.
I think you might be right. He doesn’t look mobile at all.
Thought he looked like an utter carthorse all tournament to be honest. Really wouldn't want to spend 100m+ on that if I was City.
Lot of faith he will be worth that based on current form.

He is still a class player but this version of Kane is more Berbatov than Van Nistelrooy.
Bit harsh, he was like Rooney in the first half. I blame the tactical changes.
Can’t have a Spurs player as your captain imo. Bad juju.
Can never take the Spurs out of a player.
He's clearly a very good player but I wouldn't be distraught if Citeh end up spunking the odd £100mill+ on him.
Didn't Lloris captain the French at the 2018 WC? Must be an anomaly.
Played alright tonight and clutch penalty but still won absolutely nothing.
Got to be holding Levy hostage at knife point first thing tomorrow to get that move.

A Spurs player as captain and your most crucial area of the pitch occupied by West Ham and Leeds players.
He was poor in group stage and not great first half v Germany but after that acceptable tournament. Played a good part in the opening goal tonight and was good threat after in deep position although second half was a complete mess tactically from England.
Think he'd be very effective in the Pep system so just a question of how much he and Man. City force it.
And his wife
Gonna end his career with a wheelbarrow full of money and 4 or 5 golden boots.
I was talking about the playing style rather than the performance. I thought he was pretty good in the first half too.
In the second half when we were pinned back and needed an out ball for the counter-attack, he was nowhere to be seen. Was very poor at hold-up play and dived constantly.
Ultimately do we need a striker like Kane in the team? He is a very different forward these days compared to the Klinsmann-type striker he was in his early and mid 20s. Nowadays he is more Berbatov than not. He is often dropping deep in midfield to collect the ball and spray passes. He doesn't offer much movement upfront and he is average to poor at playing with his back facing the goal.
Jesus got 9 PL goals last season and Aguero got 4 so with the attacking talent and systems City play, he would unfortunately probably fit in very well.
United rely a lot more on a top number 9.
He'd definitely improve them, but I think he's tad overrated for what they'd be expected to pay. I'd be infinitely more gutted if they'd signed Haaland.
He tracked back a lot in the first half and was very good carrying the ball forward. I think he is great when we have possession, but will obviously struggle with his lack of pace when we need to play on the counter, not to mention lack of service in the second half from Sterling and Saka.
We have Bruno and Pogba who will do that job. Personally, I think Cavani's playing style perfect for our team and Kane plays nothing like him.
IMO I don’t think he’ll leave Spurs this season
I personally don’t like Striker captains.
Anyway, I hope we don’t buy this guy for the price that’s quoted.

He won't be allowed to
Had England won, I think Kane would have been happy with that and probably settled in to his comfort zone at Spurs. With them not winning I feel like he might push harder to leave now.
From last night’s final, I think he’s losing whatever pace he had and is almost trying to be a 10 than a 9. It’s not something which matches with Olé and his counter attacking tactics. I just hope Levy holds on to him for a season. He’s not going to be anywhere near 100m valuation next year and we can get him for a lot less.
The Euros has knocked a significant chunk off his price. His World Cup performance raised a few eyebrows but this has confirmed it. He's not going to be the player that wins you the difficult games, and when you're talking 100m that's what you expect to get. He needs his pace to get away from his man for a shot, and now his pace is going he is quite limited. I hope we don't buy him and i hope City do, he will score plenty there but he won't win them the CL.
Thought he played well last night . He got f*ck all support last night (sounds familiar concerning England forwards) and his play from deep was promising.
He's not going to go for 100million plus though, that's a certainty.

He will if a club wants to buy him now. Levy is a greedy bastard.
What he showed was that he needs support and a creative midfielder. Pogba would have been superb for him last night
