“He’s in a very good place” – Gareth Southgate comments on the mentality of Harry Kane

By Eddie Razo -

Now that the summer transfer window has closed, Harry Kane is ready to move on from the summer saga that saw him connected to Manchester City. Kane now focuses on Tottenham Hotspur, which is off to a good start three matchdays into the Premier League season and the England national team. 

During this FIFA international break, the 28-year-old is leading the England international team as it looks to qualify for the World Cup next year. 

England currently leads Group I with nine points as they’ll be on the road facing The Ferenc Puskás Stadium. Ahead of the matchup, manager Gareth Southgate spoke to the media, where talkSPORT relayed his comments.

One of the questions that the England manager touched on was the mentality of his captain heading into this fixture. Southgate expressed that Kane has moved on from the summer saga and is in good spirits to help his country and club this season. 

“From a football and physical perspective, he’s in a very good place, and mentally, he’s a resilient guy,” Southgate said. “He’s very much accepted the situation. He’s looking forward and knows that he can still have a very good season with Tottenham – it’s a fabulous football club with very, very good players.”

“It’s not as if he’s at a small club that can’t achieve anything, and with us, he’s proud to be England captain and has been a critical part of what we’ve done over the last four years; his goalscoring record has been incredible.”

This comments section seems to be Tappaspur ina “Custers Last Stand ” versus the rest! In fairness to him, I do think Enic have shown signs that they are doing something positive. I know most dont value the signings we’ve made this summer but the best defender in Serie A isnt too shabby is it?

The way some people talk about the club is disgusting if you ask me. 140 years of history being disrespected coz of 20 years of the latest suits in charge. Fkin wrong

We haven’t improved the first team bar a couple of unproven defenders replacing Toby and RB. Nuno seems tactically sound but is being asked to make a silk purse from a cows ear. Such is the ENIC genius.

That’s not in the recruitment criteria for Nuno, illusion of wanting to win is different to actual winning. We’ve all tasted that craving that’s what keeps people coming back and as we’ve seen that’s not reliant on winning.

In hindsight yes but as I’ve said I can understand why levy thought it would work. When poch was sacked I wanted mad dog or nuno.
I think nuno gonna do well. I’m surprised more keepers ain’t managers. They see everything infont of them throughout their careers

The owners only cared about building the stadium back then. Levywas obsessed with getting it done and making money to complete. They care about winning now.

When you recruit Saha and Nelsen or timing of sacking Jose, is it any wonder people doubt the ambition to win a trophy. Players though do come and go but last time I got a little upset of a player leaving was either hoddle or maybe Gough. I’m sure we will something but the opportunities thrown away is horrendous to a fan and the timing of certain decisions only compound that the owners don’t really care of winning.

I see no change of course other than inflation affecting prices for players. Sure, we’ll sign a player for 60m, Greallish 100m ffs. It’s the crazy going rate, which is why the Super League appeals to the bigger clubs.

It’s all relative to what the other clubs are doing compared. I certainly don’t see this last window as a sign that Nuno was being backed particularly at all. We replaced out going players with youngsters. That was it, no backup for Kane, no playmaker.

Not backing in my book.

I find it hard to believe you didn’t understand what was going on. I knew from the moment levy got arry Zaha and Nelson when we were so close that levy was deadly serious about all this. Poch not getting the backing he needed didn’t surprise me at all. Stubborn Daniel was on a mission. Simple
Levy didn’t expect arry and poch to do so well. Managers will be backed from now on now that we can afford it. Wait and see

ENIC are the bottlers. 7th highest wage bill and 16th net spend over 5 seasons. No commitment.

if they’d put more quality and experience in the team rather than hoping Kane would do it all himself they we might of win something. ENIC are the ultimate bottlers, risk averse cowards…

They erupts prefer on-pitch success but their business model is not dependent on it. Therefore they ar not prepared to take any risk whatsoever to push the team to the levels of our rivals. So no, it doesn’t sound “stupid’ at all.

Under ENIC, pretty much. If you’re talking about league challenges, regular cup wins yes. Other teams have more committed owners to success on the pitch. That’s why they’ve all won stuff over the last 20 odd years and we have one minor cup under ENIC. How much longer do we give these people?

So Gareth has been told by Kane he is mentally OK.I doubt that is anywhere near the truth when he considers another underwhelming transfer window.But he is professional enough to get down to business with the England squad.

I feel Kane was badly let down by his advisers in the City saga,they just didn’t have the experience and nous to deal with Levy and he knew that.Lambs to the slaughter.I would prefer Kane not to go,but this summer was a missed opportunity to maximise his situation.

If Kane is overplayed because of no back up striker then he increases the risk of further injury.That does nobody any good.

His conscience is clear, he’s told Levy what he thinks of him and ENIC and his actions have echoed the frustration the fans feel.

If he hadn’t done this I’m sure he’d be in a worse place mentality, he’s fed up with being used as a pawn in ENIC’s sham…
