I’m not sure he can do that. He can become the clubs greatest player though
Love him to but he's got a long way to go to match greaves.

It's of course hard to slate a player like Kane - particularly after such a game - but he must start to pass more to better placed players. Yes, Kane, IMO, has taken the step up to become a world class CF this season. It's as if he's added an pace to his game and his close control and dribbling skills have become top-notch.
But he would add more to his game, and Spurs, if he would pass the ball more to better places players more often. When I say better placed I mean in cases where players would be clean through or almost clean through if he only passed the ball to them. And it happens in almost every game. Even if he is the best finisher at Spurs, and one of the best in the world right now, wasting opportunities to pass to much better team mates (unless it's Sissoko ) is not justified; and it can create a toxic enviornment (although I presume Kane has so much respect among his team mates that it won't).

Any one of you not rating Kane as one of the very best players in the world? You need to have a word with yourself. Best player I've seen at our club. Hoddle, Bale, Modric be damned, you need to pause and think about what you're witnessing. In years to come you'll be asked about him, like we ask about Greaves. Think about the answer you'll give to your grandkids. If the best you can do is "I posted a lot in match threads that he should pass more".. well, then you deserve all the ridicule coming your way. Pause.. and think about what you are witnessing.

You are on the button.
My wife knows full well that she is my number two after Harry. It’s not ever been mentioned but she knows

Extra game to break the record again next year.He would’ve had 2 more games to try beat the record if Sky hadn’t fucked the fuck up!!
Not sure how long you’ve been going to the Lane so it’s difficult to fully judge your comments but in my opinion, while Kane is absolutely amazing, I’m not sure he’s the best player I’ve seen at the club (been actively going since 1980). Best striker possibly (though Jimmy Greaves and Andy Booth will have something to say about that), but best player I’m not so sure. Hoddle, Gazza and Bale for instance were not strikers so will never get quite as much glory in games as the people they provide, but were absolutely majestic in what they did (particularly Hoddle). The oldies amongst us will talk about Greaves, Blanchflower, Jones, White, Mackay etc and then fall asleep and piss themselves.
But 100% agree that Kane is definitely one of the best players in the world at the moment. On an all time Spurs great players list though, it’s still Hoddle for me because he was absolutely unique and was the first footballer to give me a tacky tip without actually having to touch it.
