Good question Kane will score goals wherever he goes, however it can't be denied that his partnership with Son has improved both of them, and Spurs would find it incredibly difficult to replace either if one decided to move.

Kane's overall game has massively improved this season and last, if he doesn't score he usually assists now, which in the past wasn't always the case.

How much the pair would cost is tough to gauge, but I'd wager you wouldn't get much change out of £300m, and that's possibly being conservative.

£300m isn't bad though if their form was to carry on and they fired a team to multiple league titles and European success.
I think it would be money better spent buying those two than Messi for example.

Does anyone else think Kane says to himself on the pitch “on me head Son”

I’m going to get shot down here, but I don’t think Harry Kane is a good ‘footballer’, per se.

He’s a terrific goal scorer, mind, but I really don’t
enjoy watching him play.

Kane is 27, and Son is 28, so absolutely they'd both represent better value than Messi, who great as he is isn't getting any younger.

You got to also factor in that Kane gets an absolute battering from the centre backs who are all over him. The amount of times I see defenders coming over the top of him it surprises me how little protection he gets from the refs....

Not a good footballer? He’s one of the best footballers in the Premier League.

In your opinion.

In my opinion there are literally dozens of better footballers than him. His own team have at least two players that are better footballers.

He’s probably the best goal scorer, though, although Vardy gives him a good run for his money.

Well yes, it is my opinion, but you can’t be serious by saying that Harry Kane is not a good footballer.

I presume that you think that Son is one of the better players at Spurs, but who is the other?

Kane is probably the first name on Spurs’ team sheet, he’s definitely the first name on England’s team sheet. He would get into almost every side in world football. To suggest he isn’t a good footballer is just ridiculous.

I think that both Son and Gareth Bale are better footballers than Kane. Not necessarily as effective (although you can’t really argue about Bale’s credentials) but better players nonetheless.

You’re probably right that Harry Kane would get into most teams in the world, though, because he is very effective and is guaranteed to score goals. I just don’t enjoy watching him.

Fair enough. I think I get what you're saying, but goalscoring ability and effectiveness are integral parts of being a good footballer. Kane is currently a better footballer than Bale, which is why he plays whenever he is fit and Bale sits on the bench.

It’s a strange one with Bale. I’m convinced there’s still a world class footballer in there because he still has all the physical attributes, but he really hasn’t featured or contributed anywhere near enough this season.

Whether that’s down to a lack of fitness, a lack of desire or Mourinho is anybody’s guess.

I think with Bale he's just so out of condition, he's picking up niggly strains like players do when they return from injury and he was injured when they signed him.
That's why he's not really starting games.

There’s a lot of nonsense on here written on this board at times but you have someone who has scored 153 prem goals in 226 games being described as not a good footballer per se....

This season he has 10 goals and 11 assists already...

If you think he is not a good footballer per se or don’t enjoy watching him you need to find another sport to enjoy watching tbh

I think there was an issue in the season Leicester won the title in that Kane is a greedy bugger and had he more awareness of his teammates, rather than always trying to score, Spurs would have got more points, and ultimately won the league.
