The Official Tottenham Hotspud thread [Vol 8]
Discussion
It always concerns me when managers sign players from their previous clubs, especially when they move up the the world. begs the question are they ambitious enough with their targets.
Nico Kranjcar and Harry Redknapp spring to mind.
I'm not sure this is a signing that moves us forward, hope to be proved wrong all the same.

It's absolutely frightening how being part of the England setup and playing out of a familiar system or in a different position can absolutely make you look like a school boy running round.
We've all watched Kane and Alli have pretty damn good seasons but playing for England you've got Kane either out on the left or when played as a central striker no-one running beyond him which is what Alli, Lamella or Eriksen have the freedom to do.
Alli played almost the entire season as one of the front 3 attacking mids behind Kane. For England he gets chucked in the midfield with Rooney. Completely negating his attacking play.
What another waste of a tournament.

I agree with most of that, but I think Kane also had a poor tournament in general. For instance his freekicks were woeful.
He rarely takes them for Spurs. I guess that there is no one better selected in the England squad? That's more an indictment on the squad than Kane.jammy_basturd said:

Completely agree, and that is why he doesn't take them at the club level! Another example of being asked to do something that you don't normally do and looking like an idiot when you fail at it. I can't think Kane volunteered to take corners for example. It makes no sense whatsover, I can only assume he was selected by the management to do it.
