Harry Kane

He's English,and we know what the English media are like.They build players up and then knock them down when they don't live up to their expectations.

Hodgson is completely right in my opinion with his comments about Kane. Hes proven that he deserves a place in the squad and thats it so far. He now needs to show that he fits into their system and produce the good in a different kind of environment.

If national squads were just picked on the previous 6 months form then the team wouldnt ever stay the same

It's worked about as well as sticking the latest flavour of the month (Frannie Jeffers, Michael Ricketts, David Nugent etc) in the team just to keep the press quiet.

A good international manager will strike the right blend of rewarding players for form, while also not immediately ditching those who have served him well at the first sign of a shinier toy.

but thats my point, how have they served him well, apart from turning up with the wags in tow and winning sweet fcuk all

of course he will strike the right balance, we are talking about 1 striker here, not the whole team, would you not think kane deserves a chance ahead of wellbeck atm, or even sturridge (who is a good player) but has been injured for a while now

btw i dont think frannie, mickey or daithi scored 20+ goals in 6 months

anyway i couldnt give a toss how england do, its all the better for spurs if he dont play

I thought your point was that England have been too slow to drop the established players and haven't given enough chances to guys in form?

Anyway, yeah I definitely think Kane deserves a chance. It's an extreme case this one, as he hit form just at the beginning of an unusually long break from internationals, and he's kept that form going all the way through that break. As a result, he'll actually be one of the first names in the squad.

Hodgson might be sounding all cautious, and he might not necessarily start him in England's next game, but in reality he's rubbing his hands in glee at the prospect of deciding how to accommodate Rooney, Sturridge, Kane and Sterling in the same England team. Personally I think the answer is drop Rooney, but that'd be too easy.

Harry Kane now one goal off top goal scorer, I'd be delighted to hear some Spurs fan has him backed for the golden boot from the start of the season.

Is it 18 league goals now? Amazing really, fair play to him.

DubPerryman · 09-03-2015 1:28am

16, one off the leaders.

I kind of like articles like this because it might decrease the frenzy of expectation that is being placed on Harry. Hope the lad can keep his feet on the ground.

Ormus · 28-03-2015 12:26pm

I don't see any hate in there, the guy is spot on.

pleasant Co. · 28-03-2015 1:30pm

It's just a poor article, in online terms - it's clickbait

Sever Tomorrow · 30-03-2015 3:12pm

Roy Hodgson has given him the go ahead to play at the U21 championship this summer.

2nd Row Donkey · 18-09-2015 11:40pm

... just read elsewhere that Harry was given Adebayor 's jersey number this year. (#10)

... with this goal drought since he took over the jersey there could perhaps be some sort of Togolese black magic at play!

i saw him saying he wanted teddys old number as he was a big sheringham fan:D

Worztron · 26-09-2015 12:12pm

He could have become Irelands greatest ever striker.

5th most valuable player in the world, apparently!

06-01-2016 7:54pm

Worth more than Sanchez, Pogba or Suarez?....maybe some day but not yet (in my onion of course!).

ziedth · 06-01-2016 10:08pm

Hazzard is alomost worth more then Pogba and Muller combined and Martial is worth almost 80 million? Kane being 5th doesn't even come close to how wrong that list is IMHO

Kiith · 07-01-2016 10:51am

That list is ridiculous. Where have they gotten any of these figures? No way Kane is worth more then the likes of Aguero or Suarez. And Hazard being worth €130? Give me a break.

irishmover · 04-04-2016 9:22am

All hail Kane. The King of WHL.

Tottenham striker Harry Kane has revealed the words that Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp whispered in his ear after his superb strike at Anfield on Saturday.

The 22-year-old netted the equaliser in the Premier League clash, and after the game Klopp embraced him to offer his admiration for such an impressive finish.
'He just said three words: "what a strike",' Kane said. 'If I'd scored another, he might not have done that!'
