      Harry Kane has given all his best at spurs. The club has no way of winning any trophy in the near future. He deserves to win a trophy. But sadly, it's not going to be with Spurs.

      I totally agree with Nicol, if you're a footballer then winning trophies should be your number 1 goal. The other achievements like top goal scorer in a competition etc.. is a nice bonus. At the end of the day people will measure his career through hardware IMO. It's true when we were kids all we dreamed about was lifting the premier League Cup not becoming top goal scorer for a team! I think this distinguishes between good footballers and world class footballers ⚽🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆

      Maybe Kane should also change his nationality 😆? He will never win the world cup or euro if he stays in the english national team.

      Harry Kane plays for Tottenham. He's literally the best English striker and while he has so many scoring records the fact is he has no trophies to show for it and that could play a big role in his future at Spurs. He can keep scoring goals, Harry Kane makes goal scoring look so natural and he's a machine in doing that but silverware is more important than individual records and many people believe he needs to leave Tottenham this summer. He has to leave imagine scoring over 300 goals in your entire career yet win zero trophies. That's why he needs to leave this summer as he's stayed there for too long and should've left 2 years ago. I expected Harry Kane to try and force his way out again because that summer he wanted a move but Daniel Levy didn't want to let him go and now he has 12 months on his contract when the summer window opens and if the player decides he doesn't want to remain at the club he'll leave on a free and the player might wanna see out his contract and then join United I'm not sure but everybody knows that Harry Kane needs to leave Tottenham in the next couple of months.

      Levy pedalling the idea that Kane wouldn’t be a Spurs legend if he left is total nonsense. Plenty of players have left clubs to win silverware and are still recognised as legends by the club they left.

      I have seen Jesus score important goals that led to trophies and great records in trophy winning seasons. I recall the happiness and putting that against “everyday playing time in arsenal” with high hopes and 0 trophies CANNOT be same Mr Robo!!!

      A footballers career is measured by what they’ve won, not the stats. Trophys are more prestigious and valuable then stats, ask messi and ronaldo, they wouldnt be where they are today without those trophies

      Obviously, no one's talking about Kane going to City to backup Haaland and collecting trophies that way. They're talking about making a move now, while he's still in his prime, to a club that will give him a real or at least better chance of winning trophies while being the top man on that club. They're talking about ManU or Bayern. He could have a better chance at Newcastle. Tottenham has probably missed their window. If he wants to stay Spurs and rack up goals, fine, but if he wants to win trophies he should move on (unless he only wants to win a trophy at Tottenham).

      Who cares about trophies???? Messi's entire legacy was being questioned by the fact that he hadn't won a trophy with Argentina even though he had won so many with Barcelona and was a barca LEGEND!! SO yes titles are VERY IMPORTANT BCOZ FOOTBALL IS A TEAM SPORT WITH EMPHASIS OF TEAM TROPHYS!!! Harry Kane will still be a legend but he can also leave and win trophies elsewhere!!!

      Levy is a shameless crook trying all sorts of tricks to make Kane stay at Spurs.
      Kane will NEVER win a trophy at Spurs and he MUST move if he wants to win anything.
      Of course 99.9% of all footballers want to win trophies.
      Anyone claiming differently, is totally clueless.
      Included Gab.
      He has clearly never competed at sports.

    29. Carnivore on

      If Kane doesn't leave Spurs as soon as he can and go to a club where he has a much more realistic chance of winning a trophy, then he proves that he has zero ambitions of winning anything and only Spurs fans will remember him 15-20 years from now.

    32. Michael Hodges on

      Gab is an idiot with that take. I agree you should stay at a club you love, but if the club you love has been terribly run and hasn't won a trophy in 15 years, then he should 100% leave and win trophies.

      Real Madrid have players that have been there over a decade, and they want to retire there because Real Madrid wins trophies and big ones at that so they have no reason to leave the club they love.
