You can't really blame Kane for his start to the season.
Regardless of ability, mentality is a huge aspect in any walk of life - especially at an elite sports level.
By the sound of it, he thought he was off to City in the Summer.
That doesn't happen, so he prepares himself to have another (fruitless) season at Spurs... then he rocks up to training and Nuno is in charge.
Kane is one of the best; it must have been massively demotivating for him to have to work under Nuno, especially (after reading about and probably) listening to Levy talking about a young progressive manager who will play attacking football.
Kane seemed to thrive under Jose, a man who has won it all and got his respect.
Nuno? Fack that.
Now we've got Conte, Kane should thrive again.
One of the best managers out there.
Someone who commands respect and deserves it.
Someone, who should turn us into contenders.

Kane will wake up under Conte.
ManCity have given up on Kane and are now after Haaland.

You can definitely blame Kane for his poor attitude and his failure to return to the club on time before finally giving in. His heart clearly hasn't been in it while taking home his weekly 200k
You might even agree with his reasons for doing so due to a loathing for your own clubs actions (we've all been there!) but it's still on Kane regardless. He made the choice to sign a long term deal, he knew exactly who he was dealing with and he didn't get a binding release clause, instead claiming there was a gentleman's agreement... With Levy FFS!

Jeez, you two are proper touchy
AFC - your comment was so nonsensical I assumed it must have been a cheap wind up. Here are the two comments you made...
"Kane's main issue is that he want to LEAVE Spurs, not because of Nuno or Jose or any manager. His issue is with the club/chairmen and i don't think getting another top manager in, is going to change him wanting to leave the club."
"It's basically the same thing, he's not winning the big trophies at Spurs anyway, whether Conte is there or not. Do you think he'll wait for 2-3 years, hoping Spurs come good? i can't see you lot challenging for much before that."
All I said was that he doesn't necessarily want to leave spurs, he just wants to win trophies but given Conte has now come in, that prospect has increased dramatically.
Both of your comments say Kane defo WANTS to leave regardless of any success Spurs have and that Conte isn't gonna win a thing anyway.
That to me screams opposition fan on a subtle wind up.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
How the hell did u get to that conclusion?? Does Kane want to leave Spurs? Yes. Are Spurs likely to win a big trophy this or next year? Highly unlikely. I don't see how that is a wind up. Those are both facts , whether you get emotional about it, thats on you
----------------------------------------------------------------------
How many more times, he only wanted to leave (past tense) as he wanted to win trophies. His idea scenario would always be, as a boyhood fan, to win those trophies with us. We've now hired a man best suited to achieve that dream with, I'm sure, assurances from the board that investment funds will be made available.
My point is that technically he doesn't want to leave, he just wants to win stuff and we're now more likely to do that than we were under Nuno.
I'm not saying he will or won't win trophies for us but when you factor in the Conference League and a QF place in the League Cup, then possibly the F.A Cup, I think it's possible for Conte to win maybe one domestic trophy and a European Trophy this season. Two cups when you've never won any? I think that might be enough to convince Harry to renew his contract. It might not be the Champions League or the League but it would be silverware. Couple that with a possible 4th place finish if United continue to stutter and it would be a remarkable season.
The two things you're completely ruling out - Kane staying and trophies - I don't think are beyond us.
The nature of 'no chance' style comment read like a wum. Apologies if that wasn't the intention but I stand by it.
Anyway, if your mob can win the F.A Cup under Arteta then our undoubtedly better squad can under a proven winner in Conte.
PS - Yes, that was me wumming. Don't you just irony.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I get everything you're saying but it sounds like you need a lot of hope, good fortune, and certain things being put to bed (kane), having to all come together for you guys to win something..it may happen, if course. I just personally don't think so. ..not a wum.

I really hope people’s optimism about Conte magically turning Kane’s form around turns to reality.

The 'Kane has downed tools' comments are extremely lazy in my opinion.
He's literally playing in the least creative side in the league, statistically. You can't expect him to work miracles.

What speak volumes to me was the West Ham goal.
Kane was just switched off and Antonio reacted to score and Kane didnt budge.
This was not a deliberate thing by Kane but reflects his state of mind that he is not alive or alert and therefore not at his best. So he hasnt downed tools, he's just not fully engaged and thus not delivering. He has to take some of the blame for this but the circumstances, including having a cack manager, have contributed.
