Only just seen the goals, lovely from both players, Kane didn't even break his stride, was nice movement from Soldado to pull the defenders away too. YIDS

Yeh that's why I compared him to Sheringham he's very clever. Players in modern football with brains and skills are more important than players with just out and out pace, with so many of our younger English players (or former younger) like Lennon, Rose, Townsend and so on they have good pace but not the always best decision making. That being said Kane wasn't to slow yesterday, good to see him do well, would love him to grow into one of the leagues best strikers in a few years, great potential.

I keep finding this picture all the time, is it a young Kane or something? I went ahead and made a resized smiley of it:I have high hopes for Kane, hes shown that he is a good finisher.. He assisted in the West Ham goal and scored an absolute cracker of a goal against Limassol. He can go round players, shoot from distance, hes tall and only 21.
But he just doesnt look like a footballer!
Why dont we have any smileys for Kane
In fairness though if we were good at spotting young talent we'd be scouts/youth coaches. I personally really started to believe in Kane after the Monaco friendly last year after watching a few youth games prior to that too. (I'm just saying this because it's pretty much the only football thing I've been right about over the years so I need to do much bragging!).
Seriously though when the professionals are regularly getting it wrong and either keeping bad players on or letting good ones go what kind of chance do we have getting it right?
Persistence pays dividend for Harry 22 August 2014 - Video - tottenhamhotspur.com Harry Kane interviewed by man like Nabil.
I know, very phlegmy. But his actual content sounds more intelligent than average.The way he talks makes him sound semi retarded
My only worry about Kane showing his ability is how fans will react if he has a bad patch, say he plays against the scum and misses four chances. You'll have a few people on this forum saying he is crap, I hope when he does have that he is strong enough to ignore it. Personally I have seen enough of Kane last year to see he is a very good footballer, he may still be a number two or three but I have no concerns when he plays.
I like his determination, he held onto that ball for almost 10 minutes for the penalty, and missing it didn't deter him and he got his goal, missed a few chances, but I'm glad he got his goal as it'll encourage him.
He really suits the 4-2-3-1 system and I think he's a very good back-up for Adebayor.
I just don't see where Soldado fits into our team, I rate him, but I don't think he is very good in the premier league, he is good in the Europa League.
Soldado haven't done well as the lone striker, but I think he could be a fine player as one of the three behind the one. He is a good, smart team player, has good crosses. And who knows - in a position like that, with less pressure on him to score, he might re-find his ability to score goals.
