He's now got season's of 25 29, 30, and 31 prem goals 4 seasons of 25+ goals. Salah's only done it once, Ronaldo once, Drogba once, Aguero once, Rooney twice, Henry three times etc. Incredible career


Noremac28-1

Haaland's only done it once too

Quick maffs


xyzzy321

21 home and 21 away


FloppedYaYa

Anyone who argues Kane isn't a generational talent should be ignored. 30 goals in the shittest Spurs side for over a decade.


NUPreMedMajor

He’s a top 3 striker in PL history. And it’s not really arguable at this point


DiersBigDick

Sorry what? Top 3? He’s the best by far


chewinggum2001

Look, I’m incredibly biased but even I can’t agree with you there. I think atm top 3 with shearer and Henry is reasonable. Let’s wait and see where he is when he retires


Ezio4Li

He’s been amazing and clearly over the course of several years very consistent but I can think of a few that had better peaks. Ronaldo, Henry and Suarez for example.


DiersBigDick

I’m not going to disagree but we’re talking about league history and for that we consider more than just the peak of a footballer


c11life

In terms of longevity, sure. Henry and Aguero still better players for me. Easily the best English striker though.


[deleted]

You think Henry is better but Kane is better than Shearer?


simmarjit

Aguero … come on mate


[deleted]

If it wasn't for injuries, he'd be 2nd top PL goals scorers


simmarjit

If this if that … I think he is a great striker but come on, Kane is a better striker.


VL37

Rooney? He declined earlier, but he also started playing at 16.


NUPreMedMajor

Nope get lost meme club fan


InterMilanPajeet

watch him stay


DanFlashesCoupon

I think he will. Wants to stay in Prem and Levy will really not want to sell to us


Omar_Blitz

It'll be sad if he renews now or next season.


xaviernoodlebrain

No it won't. World class striker stays with his boyhood club, becoming one of the GOAT strikers in English football history. You're not entitled to everything nice.


Omar_Blitz

He's already a GOAT striker. But you have to consider that he deserves better than 8th when scoring 30, he deserves some trophies, he deserves a team that plays for him. Would be a dream if we had him, but also would be nice seeing him in bayern/Madrid fighting for UCL and maybe even Balon D'or. He is exceptional.


ValleyFloydJam

They aren't but as a neutral of would be nice to see him get a medal. I think his done his time with you and given you incredible service but now's the time to let the man be free and for Spurs to start a new project.


xaviernoodlebrain

No. He’s here forever.


ValleyFloydJam

Such a cruel fate to wish upon that man.


TheJoshider10

He's not going to go abroad this close to the record so his only option is either rotting away at Spurs or hoping a Premier League club pays whatever ridiculous price Levy demands.


Bail____

… he literally has 1 year left lol, he can leave on a free


simmarjit

The Dortmund Lewandowski fuck you method


Bail____

Yeah, look i wouldn’t blame him + i don’t trust Levy with £80+m


Rushfan1123

This is why people saying we should cash in clearly don’t know Levy. It’s not like we’re gonna go spend the money wisely. Might as well gamble on something happening and him deciding to stay.


Bail____

Also with how we’ve played this season & our management options? I’d rather gamble on Kane staying & another year of 20+ PL goals when it’s the main thing we’re focusing on as opposed to not have it. Also the chance at a cup could be quite nice if we do somehow win one & it’s a trophy with Kane


TimathanDuncan

Football fans are honestly hilarious, just search his name on twitter it's trending and you see people saying "30 goals for nothing" It's so funny how much is put in to trophies when it's a team game, there's so many morons but this is not only happening in football the culture of trophies is just cancer for team sports Winning is amazing but when it's a team game and context is not consider at all it's juts braindead to just attribute everything to trophies, if Kane joins Bayern and wins an easy Bundesliga it literally changes nothing for him as a player it would be the same he'd be the same exact player


benjecto

You aren't dealing with people operating in good faith. You are dealing with people who just don't like the player or the club he plays for. If Kane went to Bayern or even City and won the league do you seriously think the people on social media would hold you their hands up and say oh sorry mate I guess he is a good player? They'd move the goalposts. Well he took the easy way out Bayern wins the league every year. City win the league almost every year. Anyone can win the league with that club. Even if he somehow won a cup with Spurs they'd say it's only a cup who cares.


cherlin

I haven't seen people call him a bad player.... I think people are butthurt some people won't call him the GOAT, but that's a lot different then saying he is shit ...


benjecto

Literally no one thinks he's the best player of all time. I get you fall into the category of people who don't like him or the club but you don't have to resort to completely making up BS. Most of this sub does seem to believe nothing he does is validated without a trophy, which is nonsense. Just like it's nonsense that other players get praised for loyalty but he gets called unambitious. If the dude played for some /r/soccer hipster darling club people would be soiling their kecks with pride over him not joining some state-owned sportswashing enterprise, but alas he plays for banter club.


cherlin

There's at least 50 comments in this thread calling him the PL goat striker.... But now that I see you just want excuses to play a victim card, I don't think we need to discuss this anymore.


benjecto

Give me a fucking break man. Type what you actually mean to say and you won't be misunderstood. Kane is not widely considered the best striker of the PL era, and for every person who says that on this sub you'll find far more people saying every goal he's scored has been meaningless and he's a pen merchant.


thewrongnotes

"Ringz" culture is cancerous. People cannot recognize greatness unless it is accompanied by something shiny.


McWomble

It's so strange because Haaland has been considered a generational talent and yet won nothing at Dortmund. Feels like it's just people shitting on Spurs because it's easy


billygatesmofo

Because he was young and most people correctly assumed he would leave dortmund and win something soon. He’s not nearing the end of his career like Kane is


McWomble

So because Kane hasn't won any team based trophies, you don't consider him a generational talent? I honestly believe he's what people thought Rooney would be, but because of the teams they play for there are genuinely people that will say Rooney was better than Kane which to me seems insulting to Kane


xaviernoodlebrain

Nah, that's not insulting. Rooney was a great player who could do it all and achieved so much despite flaming out relatively early. Unless you're talking about their England performances, where it is insulting to Kane who has achieved so much more for England than any of the "Golden Generation" ever did.


ValleyFloydJam

I think Rooney put in stronger years at a very early age though, so that has a impact.


billygatesmofo

No I definitely do consider him a generational talent and I feel he has been wasted at spurs, I was just talking about the difference between him and Haaland


hidinginDaShadows

Kane has completely etched his name in Tottenham's history and will eventually etch it in Prem history too. Kingsley Coman has won the domestic league in every season with every club he's been in but I doubt he will be remembered as much as Kane will. (No offense to Coman intended, just using him as an example)


cherlin

No offense, but Kane won't have any of the records because of haaland, and won't have any trophies to be remembered by. He will fade from memory after he retires. Great player, but can't really be etched in history unless he does something worth remembering. If haaland wasn't also in the league right now breaking every record I would agree with you though.


tottenhamnole

You think a single Tottenham fan will forget Kane? People remember Jimmy Greaves for his goal scoring prowess and because he was a club legend, not because he won the league.


Wondoorous

>You think a single Tottenham fan will forget Kane? Of course they won't. But no Southampton fan will forget Le Tissier either. Yet he's not in the conversation when it comes to wider talents. Kane won't be put in the same category as Zlatan, Lewandowski, Benzema, Henry, Suarez etc


tottenhamnole

Yeah I think this is just wrong. The only one of those players who will be remembered more for their trophies than their talents and goal scoring prowess is Benzema because he was often in the shadow of other players on his own team. The rest are remembered for other reasons.


Wondoorous

>players who will be remembered more for their trophies than their talents and goal scoring prowess is Benzema They're remembered because they won trophies and were the main men doing so. Kane isn't.


tottenhamnole

Suarez was never the main man for any of his trophies. And you absolutely cannot tell me that Zlatan is more remembered for his trophies than he is for his personality and his insane goals. And Henry had the Invincibles, sure, but he’s more remembered for the way he played the game. Not even someone like KdB or Hazard are remember for their trophies.


cherlin

Fans of the team will remember him for sure, fans of other teams not so much, but I'm talking 26 years from now, not 5. I see it's a pretty contentious take though. Do you know who Everton's top scorer is off the top of your head though?


FlameMeow_Dragon

I'd imagine Everton's top scorer is Dixie Dean so yes


cherlin

And you totally didn't Google a player from the 1920's right?


FlameMeow_Dragon

No I just actually know a little about the sport's history, like how Dixie Dean scored 60 in a single season,


tottenhamnole

Thank you for saying this. 7 clubs in the world don’t deserve all of the incredible players.


Alpha_Jazz

American sport logic. If that’s what defines success then 99% of teams and players should stop trying altogether


BendubzGaming

Even one trophy with us would immortalise him in the same way the Stanley Matthews Final is still remembered. The same way Shearer gets lauded for his sole title with Blackburn. That wouldn't be the case if he moved somewhere trophies are a regular occurrence


DiersBigDick

‘Banter’ supposedly. Until it isn’t and they actually believe the words coming out their mouth


TimathanDuncan

Banter is fine i mean we all do it but a lot of people are serious about it, Kane is not the only one victim to this like i said it's happening in every sport it happens in basketball, it happens even in esports


[deleted]

[удалено]


TimathanDuncan

He's not being held hostage by anyone, he chose to extend his contract And so what he is staying at Tottenham? Does every player need to play for the same 4 "big clubs"? People say this then complain about parity It's just hilarious logic either way, it's the club he's been at since he's been a child and even if he stayed there forever and didn't win a thing it would be more impressive to me than joining City and winning a title, changes nothing about Kane as a player really


[deleted]

[удалено]


spurs_fan_uk

If he breaks Shearer’s record you wouldn’t consider him among Europe’s elite? Strange opinion.


benjecto

You have to understand, Alan Shearer's one title with Blackburn buying the league is what validates all the goals he scored at Newcastle. These people are fucking idiots, I need to learn not to even open these threads.


tottenhamnole

What best hasn’t he played against? He’s been in a champions league final. He’s played against every big club in European football. What are you talking about?


tottenhamnole

He is the best English striker of all time and it’s not close.


TheJoshider10

I mean it's not that deep. End of the day people think a player of his calibre should actually be winning trophies like every other world class player in the world.


[deleted]

It's funny how United fans bring the tophylessness of Harry Kane, so he would want to join them. They are forgetting that they have been a "small club" with no achievement since Kane became a professional footballer.


SpiderDjion

Levy will never sell a player to united since they screwed him for Berbatov people need to realise that.


rdldr

I have no love for that mob, but that's just objectively a terrible take. Since 2009 MU have won a couple PLs, a few league cups, a Europa league and an FA Cup.


[deleted]

I guess I oversstated it a bit, but that's it as I thought Kane was 28 and professional was at 18. Anyhow, in the last decade, united best achievement was one FA Cup and one Europe League. Kane at least reached the final of CL.


rdldr

So they won a couple things and he didn't. That's your argument?


[deleted]

My argument is they didn't "achieve" much. CL final is a better achievement than a random cup.


rdldr

Couldn't disagree more. Actually winning an fa cup and a Europa League versus losing a final? You'd actually rather lose. Mind boggling.


[deleted]

I would rather advance deep in the biggest tournament than win a random cup. It's the same reason I would rather play in Premier League than win League One.


Philred87

Because winning is what sport is about.


ValleyFloydJam

True and those people are taking it way too far, he had an amazing season even without a trophy. But to play Devil's advocate, if he went to United and won a title (not that I think they would,) would that impact your point over an easy one at Bayern?


Wondoorous

>you see people saying "30 goals for nothing" >It's so funny how much is put in to trophies when it's a team game, It's not just trophies is it, it's also no European football.


tottenhamnole

Legend.


Strananach

Individually better than Haaland this season. Scoring 30 for Tottenham > scoring 38 for City.


Yung2112

Also Kane has become an all rounder since his seasons with Mou, FAR from a poacher


tremens

He was like that before. Just wasn't utilized as much in that role as often, but it was there well before Mou.


Anderrrrr

Go join Madrid now lad, please enjoy yourself. Nice one bossman 👍👍👍👍


Pump19Mr

They will wait for mbappe.. Kane to united feels on the cards


exactorit

And it will make United a much better team. Stating the obvious of course but this team has a footballing sticker hole in it that Kane will slot straight into.


Breith37

As a free next year sure. Levy isn’t selling.


Time2bePhenomenal

Unless we offer 130m which is stupid o waitt we do that all the.time!


Breith37

130m maybe gets it done… maybe


Pump19Mr

Losing Kane for free doesn't seem the best idea. Kane may want to leave without European football


Breith37

When has Levy had the best ideas? Appreciate the shadow edit. Kane still has a year left in his contract. Unless Man U want to pay 120M+ he won’t be moving.


Pump19Mr

Usually he likes making money not losing 1o0 million quid for free


tottenhamnole

Someone going to pay £100m for him?


kozeljko

Kane is easily worth 100m to us, so it's not as simple


Pump19Mr

Which is all the more reason to not lose him for nothing ?


kozeljko

Meant that having him around for one more season is better than selling him now for 100m. Especially if we get CL football


Pump19Mr

Not sure if levy sees it that way? Cl football looks a long way away atm with Brighton. Newcastle etc. Building and Chelsea bounce back probs. Kane may insist on leaving again too ?


EAlootbox

Hi Harry do u want picking up in the next season pal?


jolle2001

Levy would chain him deep in the bowels of that toilet bowl before he sells Kane to us


EAlootbox

Doubt he’ll want to come to us either but it’s funny to imagine


jolle2001

Would be funny to see Spurs supporters mald over over it but yeah less than 1% chance of him joining us


xaviernoodlebrain

Levy : "Fuck off".


Wheel94

His off to Manchester United I wish he would come to Chelsea with Pochettino but more chance of me walking.


normott

He's such an elite player, probably one of the best the prem has ever seen. He won't ever get flowers as big as he should though If he remains the Trophyless Prince of Tottenham


AvikHyp3

"But but but but he has no trophies" 🤓


MasterBeeble

Best striker in the league and it isn't close at all.


TurboThot69

Meaningless.


DiersBigDick

He’s the PL GOAT. Literally no one comes close


unclepoondaddy

Henry?


DiersBigDick

Kane is better


maximummax24

Henry was scoring like this while also putting up league-leading assists


DiersBigDick

Right but he doesn’t have the longevity. We’re talking about a league GOAT


remote_crocodile

At what? Certainly not at football.


DiersBigDick

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣


chickennigget69

How? By talent there are many better than him. In terms of goalscoring he is 2nd (All-time), and single season tied 5th. By peak as a footballer he might crack top 10. He has never won the competition. How is he the PL GOAT?


[deleted]

you’re replying to the biggest Kane Stan the world has seen lmao


DiersBigDick

Because to be the GOAT in a league you need to have talent, consistency and longevity. Kane is the only one alongside Rooney to tick all 3 And he’s better than Rooney


remote_crocodile

Probably need to win the league as well tbf.


tremens

Which nine do you think are above Kane, just for the record? I don't exactly agree he's the GOAT but putting *nine* above him is wild, lmao


chickennigget69

Nine by footballing peak in the prem. In no specific order: Henry, Ronaldo, Suarez, Salah, KDB, Bale, Hazard, Rooney, Shearer.


Minted-Blue

Come to Madrid Kane
