I'm ok with him being 3rd choice - I'd be worried if he was 2nd choice.

He's still developing as a player, he's home grown and is still really young, yet people like Simmo just can't cunt him off quick enough because he's a complete prick.
Whatever Harry Kane is going to achieve in his career at Spurs or not, we still have no idea how far he can go
How many one on ones have we even seen him in?
I do rate your opinions JDK but cannot agree on Kane. Watched him again today in the flesh with an absolutely open mind. He just has no pace. He can definitely spot a pass and has a quick enough brain but his pace will always hold him back at the top level.I would like to see Pochettino put Kane out in the Jay Rodriguez position on the left. He's not the level of athlete that JR is but I think he might be better technically and they are both excellent finishers. I love Kane's game but I worry that he isn't quite the ideal player to lead a line by himself and with the death of the second striker his most natural position doesn't exist. If Pochettino could get him comfortable as a LW that floats inside and almost plays as another forward in possession like he did with Rodriguez I think that would be the best solution for all parties. As with most of our players, how well he adapts to the pressing system will probably drive how much playing time he gets.

He's a good young prospect that's a bit shit. Obvious.Is this guy going to replace Soldado? Not as our main striker but as the person who completely divides opinion!!
The comments range from: "great feet for a big man, plays well at number 10" to "he looks like he plays with shoelaces tied together" and "can't finish" so which is it????
Indeed he does but I just don't see highest level ability. Only because of dinosaur pace. Holtby was like a schoolboy captain, wanting to do everything. Townsend I think probably needs to get some form but although I hate to admit it I tend to agree with gibbs131 evaluation of him being England/media darling. He has never really got back the form of that purple patch. Will he? Who knows....Yeah I may have been wrong, certainly wouldn't be the first time. He's very skilled though and I really rate him. He was terrible today, but I think people are being a bit harsh on him. Soldado missed two easy chances, Holtby and Townsend missed pretty simple ones as well. Shit happens. Kane did score three goals in three games last season, kid clearly has significant ability.
Read what I fucking said, he's shit at one one ones.

Read what I fucking said, he's shit at one on ones. Seeing him get behind the defence today made me recall a few times I've seen him do it. He tends to dwell on the ball and/or when to pull the trigger and often doesn't.
Ok I was direct about it but that doesn't slate him generally on other aspects. I think he has ability but remains to be seen to what extent it will come to fruition.....prick.
