I personally think Kane is at a point in his career when he needs to learn to manage his minutes and play games responsibly with a Decent recovery period. His first proper big muscular injury last season was worrying. If he can be disciplined enough to take op is only game son the bench I think he will prolong his career and his productivity.

If the only thing they can negatively speak about is his speech impediment then he's doing pretty well to be honest. Just shows how good he is on and off the pitch, because they can't think of anything else to latch onto. Football twitter is god awful though. It's all abuse justified as criticism and banter. Hate it. Our fans are not excusable either, but that's for another thread.

I don't even think he's got one. Honestly, I wouldn't of noticed him talking the way he does if social media idiots hadn't flagged it up just because they got bored of calling him a tap in merchant and cant face him 1. playing for us and 2. being one of the best goal scorers of the modern era. I suspect from foreign fans there is an element of racism surrounding him, he's English so cant be that good. It certainly used to feel that way on occasion.

Stating the obvious but we desperately need a striker. Harry has 10 months of non stop football coming up. ?

Okay, I've had a skim through and can't find a reason for it, so could someone tell me why this thread is in the transfer rumours forum please?
Thanks.

I think they miss the point, too.

IMO, if Kane didn't have some sort of speech thing (call it what you want), then I have my doubts whether he'd be as good as he is. This is on the basis that his achievements seem to be rooted in his mentality, which I believe will have been affected by that. It's entirely plausible that it kept him quiet and grounded, possibly stopped him from generally being a bit of a twat.
This is purely based on life experience, where lads who were harder to understand speaking (for whatever reason) were far less confident socially. That generally allows someone to not get too distracted by the booby traps in life (mostly boobies) and concentrate on other things.

In short, if Kane's speech was clearer, his social confidence may have been far higher, and so he could well have succumbed to the same Kryptonite as other footballers. It isn't, so it wasn't, so he didn't.

All a theory, but I believe his mature grounded is perhaps because of the one thing that people dig him out for. Which is ironic really, and says a lot about the people that go for it (that bell-end looking lad who plays for liverpool, for example. Ok, doesn't narrow it down, the 16/17 year old)

That's next May/June. A lot of these teams haven't played since October last year. That's a hell of a long time to go without their main source of income.
Bit this is the Kane thread so I'll stop there.

Why should domestic clubs in foreign leagues subsidise the football associations of other countries?

This is part of the reaaon Kane gets so run down

Personally I want him getting as many minutes as possible before Everton to shake off any rust.
I wouldn’t trust England to run a bath, let alone manage him or any player properly. Yes he should be getting minutes but with Spurs not with the national team in Nations League matches that mean absolutely nothing.

Harvey Elliot I think his name is pal and he has got a smug-looking face lol, Will never be at Kanes level. Great theory as well mate.

Wouldn't be totally against him getting a "knock" for Wednesday in order to sit out the game tbh. Hoping we might see more of that with Jose now too.

I just want to point out that English fans are more likely to underrate English players than foreign ones. Secondly, it would be xenophobic not racist, as a nationality isn't a race.
