What a player Harry is.

I remember when he was breaking into the squad and he looked so… average.

I admired his work rate, but he was never going to make it.

Yes, he popped up and scored a lucky goal. and did it again. And again. And, that was a decent finish too.

But he couldn’t even cut it at Leyton Orient.

Mind you, his work rate is good. As is his ability to close down the opposition.

But you need more than that to lead the line at Spurs. A lot more.

I admit his ability to keep the ball in the corner when we’re protecting a lead is… ok, it’s pretty much fucking world class!

And you know what? This kid has heart.

I like him. And yes, I can admit he’s a bit better than I thought, but he’s still never going to make it because… holy shit that was a great finish. And, wow, that was a silky pass…

His humble beginnings would never have revealed what was to come.

The moments, the memories.

The epitome of hard work and determination.

Not to mention, our leading scorer of all time.

I’m sad to see him go, but honoured to have a generational player - one of our own - serve us for so well and for so long, even if it wasn’t quite long enough.

He’s the most complete striker in world football today - and now other fans will agree.

I believe him when he says this isn’t goodbye, though only time will tell in what capacity he comes back.

It’s the end of an era. But the beginning of a new one too.

And while we will miss Kane, we can equally look forward to what Big Ange is cooking in the kitchen for us next.

COYS, Daniel.

@Typeo @ali_g I'd be shocked if Kane doesn't end up back at Spurs to finish his career. He's still got that all-time Premier League record to beat yet. Unfinished business, for sure.

@TiffyBelle @Typeo @ali_g @spurs People seem to think he can just waltz back in 4 years, as a 35-year old, and score 48 goals before he retires. Not impossible sure, but I really don't see it happening.

I think he'll end up regretting not beating Shearer's record when he had the chance. Which is sad.

[-] TiffyBelle@mastodonapp.uk 2 points 1 year ago

@JimBliss @Typeo @ali_g @spurs Certainly a fair point.

I guess it remains to be seen whether or not he'd go on to regret that. Can't help but think if he helped propel Bayern to a CL win and picked up that level of silverware he'd see sacrificing that record as worth it.

@TiffyBelle @Typeo @ali_g @spurs If he wins the Champions League with Bayern, then the move will have been vindicated probably. I just think it's less likely they'll do that in the next 3-4 years than him breaking Shearer's record would have been if he'd stayed.
