I feel privileged to have been alive to be able to see the greatness that is Harry Kane. My son feels the same too (i'm sure when it comes to the crunch, apart from my own loyalties, he was the reason that he supported Spurs instead of Emirates Marketing Project when they had Aguero..another player he loved).
I truly hope Kane can win a trophy with us this season.
Absolutely a privelege. It's difficult to compare different players who play different roles and at different times. But he's up there with the very best that have played for us sa long as I can remember.
He deserves a trophy. I hope we can get him one. I hope he stays forever, but can understand it if he leaves. He's a truly fantastic footballer.
Probably winning a league title, then winning CL.Don't worry, Sky/BT/ESPN/everyone is off on the sell him campaign again, 30 seconds after he broke the record.
I wonder what they would say if we won the FA Cup this season, what brick will they peddle for him to leave?

Surprised by the assists!
He has the most headed goals of any player in the PL this season.
He hits the corners and he hits with power. Good combination. What often strikes me is how he finds balance before shooting. Can be in a tight spot, need to create space, be under pressure, so many situations where players often mibrick the ball. But those last moments before he shoots Kane almost always finds balance and looks in complete control.
Definitely agree he had a lot of those attributes from early on. At first he looked like a player that was good at a lot of things, great at nothing. All of a sudden it all came together and he was great at most things.
I suspect it's due to Shearer and Rooney playing mostly with actual strike partners, whereas Kane's usually played as a lone CF. Although his partnership with Sonny has been some pairing.View attachment 15068

Shearer had Sutton at Blackburn, of course, then Les Ferdinand at Saudi Sportswashing Machine. But that can't have been long before he signed for us. Beardsley wasn't a CF, so who did that leave? Duncan Ferguson was there for a couple of years, I'm sure.
Rooney would have made plenty of assists for van Nistelrooy, Saha, Tevez and our very own Dimitar Berbatov. Robin van Persie too, IIRC.
I'm glad to see Kane seemingly staying a bit higher this season. If your best goalscorer isn't in goalscoring positions, you're not doing it right.
9th season in a row he has scored 20 goals in all competitions wonder.9th season in a row he has scored 20 goals in all competitions
