Entirely understandable after a performance like that
I’m just happy to have both son and Kane. I think son has been better the last 12 months.
Kane 100%
Son second best
Alderweireld third
Son second best
Alderweireld third
Son's our best player. Why? He destroyed City at the Etihad in the penultimate CL knockout game and is basically the reason why we reached the CL final. Secondly, he was the only player who turned up to the CL final in Madrid. It's these crunch games that defines a player, rather than games against the likes of Burnley, Watford, Brighton, etc.
Moura is the reason we reached the CL final.
I voted for Jan, he's still my favourite current player, although I was getting concerned when he wasn't getting games. I think full back suits him.
:vert:
I think the other 10 players had something to do with it too!
Its Harry Kane and I say this as someone who thinks he has lost a bit of pace and more importantly motivation. It's not even a question look at the goals it's not normal people, when you watch him your seeing a phenomenon. Clubs don't readily get goal scorers like Kane, it's a once in a generational player.
Because of positions, team influence etc. best player is an abstract concept.
Imagine we had a prime Roy Keane now, might not be better than Kane or Son, but he'd be more important, or a Makalele.
Anyway, we have several players every team in the world would like, I just thank heavens Son and Kane work together so well (and Dele).
Kane and Son, can't split 'em.

Kane is the main man at the club. Not only best player. Above Jose and Levy for me. He represents Tottenham.
So then is he as big as the club? a tad shy??
Kane's been the most consistent performer on the team and his stats are nothing short of exceptional.
But the thing is, if you put Son in Kane's role, Son would also get 30+ goals a year. Since 2016, the guy has averaged around 20 goals and 8-10 assists a year in a relatively limited role. Had he been a full time/every game starter like Kane (he came off the bench around 30% of the time), took penalties instead of Kane (accounts for at least 5 goals a season), and been the main target up front as our #9, he would have gotten 30+ goals.
We saw what kind of results Son produced when he filled in for Kane as our main man up front last year - it was Son that led us to the final in Kane's absence. Now that Eriksen is all but gone, you're really starting to see Son step up as both a scorer and playmaker to fill in some of the void that Ericksen left behind. His ability to succeed in multiple roles/positions is nothing short of amazing.
Kane, while one of the top strikers in the world, does not have the raw talent/natural ability that Son has - he's reached his physical ceiling (some might say it has deteriorated a little) and plays one position but does it exceptionally well. What Kane is at the moment is that he is Spurs' undisputed leader and much more refined and thus more consistent and clinical than Son.
Son is not as refined but he's still got a lot of raw untapped talent. You're never going to see Kane, or anyone for that matter other than maybe Messi and a prime Ronaldo scoring the goal he scored a couple days ago. Son can pretty much do everything Kane can except Kane's aerial ability but the opposite isn't true. Scary thing is, Son's getting better and better. He hasn't reached his ceiling yet.

Kane, Son, Alli.
As Kane is one of our own if he ever does request a move away from the lane the effects would be worse than anyone else at the club in my opinion.

Mate just leave it. If you like it or not Kane is a far more superior striker than Sonny is. Sonny is class but Kane's hold up play, his passing, his movement to find instinct spaces is second to none when it comes to anyone at the club.
Sonny is dynamite but he is too keen to be a top striker. Harry is patient, wily and has so much more than you give him credit for. It's a shame really but each to their own.
