Harry Kane still has Man City transfer chance but his displays disrespect Tottenham
Where has that Harry Kane been?
The Tottenham and England striker turned it on in style against Manchester City on Saturday night, scoring twice and sparking a shock defeat for Pep Guardiola.
It was as if he was saying with every goal, pass and kick: “Look what you still could have Pep… look what you could sign in the summer.”
The way pundits and fans were salivating over the England star’s performance, anyone would think Kane was on a tally like Mohamed Salah's 17 League goals (after a month away too).
Well, actually he is on a total of seven goals in the Premier League so far this season.
Spurs are paying Harry a fortune and I can't be the only one reading ulterior motives into the Phoenix-like performance.
Harry is having a strange season after his £100m move to City broke down in the summer. He downed tools, and hasn’t been at his best in many games.
He’s become a flat track bully with six goals in the Europa Conference League. Six for England - four of them against Andorra and Albania. And four cup goals, one against Morecambe making a total of 23 in all games.
But seven goals in the heat of the Premier League puts him equal 16th in the rankings.
That’s level with Palace midfielder Connor Gallagher and Arsenal winger Bukayo Saka.
And one behind Brighton’s Neal Maupay and West Ham’s Jarrod Bowen.
I thought it was very odd, that level of performance, coincidentally against a club that wanted him, a manager that wanted him, around team mates that would have gone wow, what a performance.
He turned it on when he wanted to impress.
You can come to the conclusion that either Harry has been unlucky with his performances this season, or the performance against Man City was a professional player switched on, fully
