Harry Kane

Harry Kane broke Alan Shearer's Premier League record for goals
in a calendar year as he put Tottenham in front in their 5-2 win
against Southampton on Tuesday.
Kane went on to score a hat trick, with the second of those
three goals seeing him move ahead of Barcelona forward Lionel
Messi for the most goals for club and country by any player in
Europe's major leagues in 2017.
Kane has 39 league goals and 56 goals for Spurs and England in
2017, while Messi hit 54 for Barcelona and Argentina. Kane's
tally breaks a seven-year run of either Messi or Ronaldo
finishing as the top scorer for club and country while playing
in Europe's top five leagues.
"I'm very proud," Kane said of finishing above his La Liga
rivals. "Messi and Ronaldo have dominated football for so long
and they're two of the greatest players ever so it's an honour
to even be compared to them.
"I'll keep working harder, it's about finding little percents to
get better and doing things on the training ground to make you
better. There's a great staff here and a great manager here who
will keep pushing me, don't you worry about that! I'll have to
take [my teammates] out for dinner to thank them!"
Shearer, who set the previous Premier League record with 36
goals in 1995 with Blackburn, sent Kane a message of
congratulations from his Twitter account, saying: "You've had a
magnificent 2017 @HKane. You deserve to hold the record of most
@premierleague goals in a calendar year. Well done and keep up
the good work."
Here's the how the stadium went wild when Kane scored the
hat-trick that broke the record.

Yes, they've dominated from 2007 onward. Ballons d'Or,
championships, records fallen.

I think he's renegotiating his contract. So far it's been a
pittance relatively for his service. Other clubs start stirring.
Rumours are flying about many since the transfer window is about
to open all January. He's sitting in the high seat since he can
have the calling clubs as leverage in London.
Barca would rather have Philipe Coutinho over from Liverpool but
Klopp has been reluctant so far. Some have speculated that
Liverpool will let him go since they just spent some big
millions on Southampton's Virgil Van Dijk, a strong defender.
They probably would like to recoup the pounds by selling on
Coutinho to Barca but Barca doesn't want to feel being taken
advantage of with its Neymar money. The issue I believe now is
sale price.
Kane deserved a better deal and England should have "one of
their own" as Tottenham's fans sang out in the vid you gave. The
EPL has plenty of foreign stars. They make the naturally
talented like Kane all the better.

^^ Have you see the site: transfermarkt

? I go there once in a while
to check things out.
Kane may not want to move to the Continent. He looks content in
the UK.

The last time his contract was negotiated was in 2016, and it's
good until 2022. They give the junior teams he played with
too:
Ridgeway Rovers (-2001), Arsenal FC (2001-2002), Ridgeway Rovers
(2002-2004), Watford FC (2004), Tottenham Hotspur (2004-2010)
Money is something; but he may figure he has more than enough.
He may want to stay with Tottenham to see if it can be made into
an even better team. The loyal fan base and perhaps family too
could be motives to want to stay.

Yes, this might be true but I say it's not enough for what he's
done in contrast with others. If he's being compared to Leo and
Cristiano, it's
not nearly enough, no?:
He may have outscored Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi in 2017
and broken Alan Shearer's Premier League record for goals scored
in a calendar year, but Harry Kane is still remarkably low on
the list of the English top flight's highest earning players.
Kane, who already has a remarkable 24 goals in 24 games, this
season following back-to-back hat-tricks against Burnley and
Southampton in his last two games, has cemented himself as one
of world football's greatest centre forwards over the last
three-and-a-half seasons, yet when it comes to earnings, the
England international is only 35th on the list of English
football's highest earners.
Not that Kane will mind, of course, as he still pockets a
reported £110,000-per-week, but to think that there are 34
players earning a better weekly wage than someone who is
arguably the best centre-forward in the world right now is quite
astonishing.:

Hey, London Town. What's fair is fair . . . .
Tottenham Hotspur, also aka "The Yids":
A proportion of Spurs' support has long been drawn from the
London Jewish community and the three chairmen since 1982 have
all been Jewish businessmen with pre-existing degrees of
allegiance to the club. Yet the proportion of fans who are
Jewish, impossible to know precisely, is likely to be small. The
best estimate is a maximum of 5% of the crowd. Arsenal have at
least as many Jewish fans. But they are not Yids.
Spurs supporters did not grow up as 'Yids'; they became Yids in
adversity through a complex and contested process of identity
formation. Forced to respond to pejorative, abusive taunts from
rival supporters, many in the crowd embraced the term in order
to render the abuse impotent. But the word yid remains highly
controversial. Many Jewish Spurs fans support their club despite
the word, not because of it.
The Jewish community in Tottenham began to grow in the early
20th century. Eastern European Jews fleeing pogroms in Russia
came to Britain from 1880 onwards, with a surge in 1905/06 as
their persecution intensified. Many settled in the East End
amidst its long-established Jewish community. Others then moved
further north, taking advantage of the good transport links and
employment prospects in the Tottenham area. The Jewish
Dispersion Committee encouraged the move from overcrowded
Whitechapel and Brick Lane.
Unskilled work was plentiful in the fast-growing industrial
sites around Tottenham Hale. Several large businesses were
Jewish-owned. Lebus furniture, at one time the largest furniture
manufacturer in the country, moved to the area in 1899. Most
famous for its cheap and cheerful post-war utility furniture, it
also made parts for the Mosquito bombers and Horsa gliders used
on D-Day. Gestetner became a world leader in duplicating
machines, the forerunner of modern copiers. The Eagle Pencil
works, later known as Berol, and Flateau Shoes employed
thousands.
Over the next 30 to 40 years, Tottenham Hotspur became part of
the lives of these predominantly working-class Jewish men living
in the crowded streets between the Hale and Landsdowne Road.
For many Jews, the drive for assimilation has been an
over-riding imperative and football has been instrumental in
that process. Writing about this powerful anglicisation, Anthony
Clavane says football is: "A space where ethnic identity has
connected, even become intertwined, with national identity; an
arena where Jews have fought the notion that they were invaders
who needed to be fended off, newcomers who did not belong."
Many Jews, especially the second generation who were born here
and called Tottenham home, sought belonging and identity on the
terraces at White Hart Lane. They weren't the only ones: the
history of Tottenham Hotspur is linked inextricably with the
lives of the newcomers, the displaced, the ambitious, the hungry
who came to Tottenham in search of work and a better life.
Generations have found comfort and comradeship in the swaying
masses who follow the navy blue and white. Through their club
are expressed hopes and aspirations, of being part of something,
of being somebody. The Hotspur was Tottenham.:

have no place in it come sooner than later my prayer.

I wonder why he was wearing goggles in that video. I don't
know what it is about Kane, but I like him.
If Tottenham improves, it may make more money. All its players
could get paid more. That might be his goal.
Kane told a story about how when he was 11, he met Jermaine
Defoe who played for Tottenham. When you have that kind of fond
memories, how wrenching it would be to leave. I think Neymar
regrets leaving Barcelona. You think that too, don't you?

Kane had his nose broken v Crystal Palace, so they're not so
much eye-goggles as they are worn as a mask to help protect his
nose.
Ya, Tottenham improving. They're not quite the best and still
not bad. He'll have to see what the ownership is up to. You
know, I used to be a Southampton fan (played a very tidy
football) until they kept selling on their best players as it
still is today with van Dijk now gone. I've thrown my hands up
about them. Kane needs to play it smartly. Is the team itself
serious about titles? Who are they buying and selling? A
career's years can be wasted if the players and ownership aren't
in tune. Great players languish in mediocre clubs sometimes. A
change sometimes makes a world of difference for the player and
a new club.

I do think that about Neymar. The thing is with Kane is that
he's a native Londoner whereas Neymar came out of Santos in
Brazil. It could be that the atmosphere and his mates at Barca
made an indelible impression on Neymar since it was quite a trip
i think to come from South America to such a legendary Euro
club. Messi apparently gave him a nice Christmas message last.
There doesn't appear to be hard feelings with his ex-teammates
anyway. Still . . . . with Kane . . . . . it's the
ownership and direction of the team . . . .

Yes, I think Neymar fit in at Barcelona -- felt a comfortable
there. The thing with Kane is that if he plays his cards
right, maybe Tottenham will make him a much nicer offer if they
think they might lose him. If he said outright right now he
wasn't interested in moving, Tottenham might not feel the
incentive to up the ante.
Some players have clout too with the owners over who they
acquire. I'm pretty sure Messi lets Barcelona know who he
thinks would be good and who wouldn't. If a smart owner and
manager (or President and manager) want to keep their top
players, surely have to listen to them and to some extent try to
please them. Top players may want to leave if they are forced
to play with people they'd rather not be around, if their
perception is the club is going downhill.

Real Madrid are set to bid €150 million plus Gareth Bale to sign
Tottenham striker Harry Kane, according to Sport .
Los Blancos value Bale at around €50m, meaning their total bid
would be somewhere close to €200m.
They could face competition from Manchester United for the
England striker, however, with the Red Devils keen to bolster
their own forward line.:
