Think he’s got his head screwed on. Got age on his side so can try and see if he can take his boyhood club a step up from the past few years, if it doesn’t work out in 3 or 4 years then head off to Spain and never have to worry about money ever.

His boyhood club is Arsenal though ain’t it? Might be wrong

Tottenham supporter, Arsenal youth team.

 

[PickeringBlue]

Surely Kane won't stay about Spurs forever when he could treble his wages with a move and challenge for trophies

Think he'll go to Madrid with Poch in the summer.

 

[Seathestars]

£500,000 per week, I wouldn’t get out of bed for that.

his boyhood club's rivals you mean ha

 

[Ring master]

Thought that was quite good lol

 

[Zezti]

Neat video, this...

 

[KaiserEFC]

I remember when Mario was going to be a world class CM...and now he’s at West Ham lollollol

 

[Huyton Layne]

How very Moyesian. His first signing at West Ham is a loan. Could do a great job if they're as tight as us for the first decade of this century.

 

[goodisonopheliac]

OK, that's actually quite cute. At least he's not playing Knees Up Muvver Braahn on the old joanna.

He grew up as a spurs fan (quote, "Most of my family were Spurs fans and I grew up 15 minutes from the ground, so I was always going to be a Spurs fan").


When you're a young lad, desperate to be a footballer, you'll take any chance you get. Plenty of Toffees have gone through the youth ranks of Liverpool (most seem to prefer Everton, though), and that's just down to the fact that grounded kids normally support their local team (or because their family do, for the same reasons) and as such there's a pretty high chance you might have to play for a local rival, rather than your own preference.

He was only with Arsenal for one season, when he was eight, and got released. He also signed for Watford until joining Spurs at eleven (who he had tried and failed to join via trials on loads of occasions).





On topic though, the attitude towards Kane is weird. He's the antithesis of a modern footballer:

- Doesn't say anything negative about anyone, and isn't controversial
- Isn't out on the lash all the time
- Isn't a womaniser, and is as much a one-woman man as he is a one-club man
- Doesn't really appear in the papers for any negative reason at all
- Is well disciplined and generally quite quiet and well mannered
- Has consistently improved through effort, and despite pressure and public criticism
- Is respectful to the national team, his team mates and club
- Is, seemingly, very loyal to his local club
- Is a record-breaking and very talented English forward playing in the English league

On the face of it, the only real motivation to dislike him involves the green eyed monster. The lad is the absolutely epitome of a player you'd want at your club, with both attitude and talent.


Despite that, people (especially England-supporting folk) can't wait for him to "demand more money", "join Real Madrid" and "get found out". The stuff you hear people saying about the way he talks is also disgusting. All in all, it says a lot about british folk these days (you even read comments from foreigners saying they don't understand why we want our own to fail).

Kane is everything I want in an Everton number 9, he's one of my most respected pros tbh.

He'd make a good movie script, really. Seems like he's spent his whole life being told he's not got what it takes, but kept plugging away, got his head down, and then the fruits of his labour eventually ripened.

The scary thing is, there's probably a Harry Kane in most academies, but they don't get the same opportunities that he was lucky to get (i.e. having both senior strikers ahead of him turn to plop).

Without looking it up, I can't recall many sides actually giving the 'yoof' much of a chance up front. You've currently got DCL at Everton, and in the 90's there was Cadamateri, Jevons and Jeffers, then eventually Rooney, but who else between then (at Everton)? It seems crazy now to think that Liverpool were playing Owen at 16. You'd think it's a no-brainer to give a youngster an opportunity, when you can't even get a Shane Long for less than £20m (probably) these days.

branch , Vaughan and Barlow , anichebe and Chadwick have all been given a chance with Everton but None good enough. Vaughan could of been but injuries killed his career.
