The question comes down to whether you can hold onto him until then.

IMO you will. United, Chelsea and City have all got a relatively young strike force, so it's unlikely any of them will be in for him. That leaves Madrid and Barca... Madrid is a possibility, but his comfort and knowledge of the premier league makes me think a move abroad is unlikely.

Kane is a fantastic player, but as a traditional type of striker I don't think he would suit the style of play of Madrid or Barca. I do t think Pep is too bothered about Aguero - at the moment I think that's his most likely destination. But all the top team all have decent strikers, so I don't see anyone even making a move for him at the moment.
 
What a fantastic player. And there were idiots on here who were staunchly against signing him 2 seasons ago. Try signing him now:rolleyes:

What about Jesus, unless you can see City permanently going with two strikers?

Unfortunately I think that he would suit Madrid superbly, why do you feel he wouldn't?

Jesus has been fantastic, but still such a young player, you couldn't rely on him as their sole forward. Kane would pretty much guarantee 25-30 goals a season.

He would be bought to displace Benzema - and whilst Kane is clearly the better player, Benzema does so much to make the team tick and he's not the main man, which Kane should expect to be. Whilst Ronaldo is there, I can't see it working. But given the ages of Benzema be Ronaldo, perhaps Kane could be the right player in a couple of years.
 
I still don't get him. There's nothing exciting about the guy but he keeps on scoring. His strike technique is very clean and accurate.
 
Kane has now scored more goals (36) in all competitions during 2017 so far than any other player apart from Messi across Europe's top 5 leagues.

Top class striker no doubt. Looking forward to the day he signs for United.

You just know it's going to happen eventually.

Not that I think it'll ever happen, but as I'm bored I'll entertain the thought. Do you think him and Lukaku could play together?
Click to expand...

Incorporating the pair of them in the same team when we predominantly play a 1 striker system would of course be... awkward. Were we to ever switch to a 352, which Jose has lined us up in on various occasions over the summer and In the league cup this season, then a Kane - Lukaku striker partnership could be incredible.

Of couse he'd cos the the earth and then some to prize him away from the clutches of Levy and his beloved Spurs, but he would be worth it.

Nelson, Churchill, Aristotle, Lincoln, Shakespeare, Einstein, Washington, Napoleon, Jefferson, Jesus ......and oooh nearly forgot, Harry Kane :lol:
 
Pep on Spurs tonight: We saw again the Harry Kane team, scoring every week two or three goals.
 
Really hope he can bring this kind of form the World Cup. We could have a pretty decent front 4 come to think of it.
 
Dominos said:
He's better than prime Henry, Suarez, Aguero, Ruud?

Kane is more dangerous than Van Nistelrooy. Ruud scored one goal from outside the penalty area once in his career, while Kane regularly smashes them in.

It's no slight on Eriksen to say that if Kane had the service of Beckham he would score even more.

The other 3 I'm less sure of. Maybe it's fairer to say he's the EPL's best pure 9 of the last 20 years.

Slightly off topic, but I would consider Kane a better man than any on that list who are responsible for thousands of deaths.

And yet you've fallen behind United, Chelsea and City after your record high finish in the premier league. Even after you've finished your stadium you still won't be able to compete financially with those aforementioned clubs.

Kane may not be swayed by money (it's more of a factor than he'll have believed), but the lure of winning leagues and trophies will see him leave Spurs if a club decides to offer big on him.
 
He won't be leaving Spurs for an English club any time soon. No English side is currently far enough ahead of Spurs to merit it.

But when Madrid come calling, we know exactly what will happen.

Additional match day income isn't going to come even close to closing the financial gulf you have with the big clubs. And that debt still needs to be serviced.

Spurs will face a fight to keep him, which they'll only win if the player is determined to stay at his boyhood club. They need to start winning trophies to be able to hang onto their best talents long term. I think they've only won about 2 in the last 26 years.

Madrid is my only real fear, mainly due to their head turning capabilities. I only hope he looks at Bale as an example, they are in my opinion a horrible club, rotten to the core and thinks "no il stay where I am". I honestly think he would score as much if not more than Messi and Ronaldo in Spain. I'm not saying he's as technically as good a player but he would own La Liga. I just wish the media would praise Kane's locality more than they do, it's so refreshing to hear a player like Kane over the childishness of Neymar etc.

Are you seriously talking about the first 7 games of this season (and even if you are we're above Chelsea in the current table)? If so, it's a joke to base anything much on that. And you ignore clubs like Liverpool and Arsenal, who also out-spend Spurs.

As for the rest, we don't necessarily need to compete financially on spending with United, Chelsea and City, not least because whilst their income is higher so are their outgoings. Moreover, the quality of the players in our first team squad show in abundance that spending big is not a necessity.

And regarding Kane, the only man to decide whether Kane leaves will be Levy in consultation with Pochettino, not some Prem club that "decides to offer big on him". Prem clubs can offer big all they want, but they'll simply be wasting their time because I doubt that Levy will even answer their phone calls.

Give it time, plenty of Gooners will suffer in the next couple of years and then who knows how the Spurs fans will respond when Kane does leave.

Match day income will be only one of the increased income streams accruing to Spurs from the new stadium complex. In a few years from now I expect our income to exceed that of Liverpool, with Chelsea not far ahead.
 
Kane has genuine ball playing ability, much better than Lukaku does. He can create goals out of nowhere, whereas Lukaku make all the runs on channels, fecks up, disappear for 20 minutes and score tap ins or headers.
Both are great goalscorers, but Kane edges it in terms of footballing ability.

I really like Kane but I think you're being very harsh on Lukaku.

I'm being harsh, but I'm really a fan of Lukaku, but here's my point:

Lukaku make runs, sometimes pop out in clever positions, headers, dribble through one or two players and sometimes scores beautiful placing shots outside or inside of the box.
Consistently, Kane scores with his right foot, left foot, headers, outside of the box shots, narrow angle goals (his trademark), better key passing or can make beautiful assists. He also does whatever Lukaku can, which makes him a better player in my opinion.

But i never said Lukaku's a slouch, he's a beast and I'm glad we have him, it's just that Kane has more. Now if we think about it, that's why if we slap 75 million before Neymar's deal, we can't even touch Kane's hair...

So? Liverpool don't have great income compared to the big boys. And Chelsea are backed by a sugar daddy, so can offset significant costs into infrastructure etc, without occurring FFP issues, and thus offer much better wages.
 
I think the best thing about watching this young man over the past few years is to see how much he has matured. When he burst into the scene in his first high-scoring season, he had the look of amazement about him, that looked as if he couldn't believe what he's doing himself. And it didn't help that other than the goals, there is nothing spectacular about him really. I think that's what made many people doubt his ceiling.

Fast forward to this season, you can see how much more assured he's become bearing down on goal. He's comfortable striking with his left, his right, his head, inside or outside the box, from basically any angle. And the key thing is how he delivers the goals without having to do anything spectacular. Just create the angle in a fuss-free way, and bang! It's fair to say that Harry Kane now has the elan and mark of a player totally on top of his game and knowing that he'll deliver every game.

Truly a joy to watch and for me he's the best number 9 in world football right now.

His game is, by custom, unfashionable, but it's usefulness is huge. For the record, I actually enjoy watching him play. Straightforward, unpretentious, clean... these are the words I'd associate with his style.

I think I know where you are coming from but those quoted are recognised as the "greatest", not better.

And staying off topic, with possibly the exception of Napoleon, if wasn't for the likes of Churchill, both you and I would probably not even be here.
 
Best striker in the league at the moment. Lukaku is great but Kane is complete. Much better technically.

I must be imagining Chelsea winning the league last season then, unless you finished higher than first? In terms of playing quality it's obvious too. The title will end up at either of the Manchester clubs or at Chelsea. I, know it, you know it, everyone knows it.

Nah, not at all, you've been wildly successful, what with picking up your last major trophy - the league cup - just ten years ago, not counting the AIA cup in 2015 of course.

You're a naive little bunny if you think Kane cannot force through a move. Or are you telling me if Kane downed tools then Mr Levy, the man who would make a charity donation and expect change, would allow his contact to run down?

If he looked at Bale as an example don't you think the three Champions Leagues might be a bit more influential than a bit of booing?
 
I think he'll go to Madrid, Spurs won't sell him to any English club and Madrid will need a number nine soon.
