Bad news for Spurs Kane is injured it could be even one month break so he can miss CL games even
It's terrible news for Spurs. Kane isn't expected back to training until March, so it will be April before he playing again. He'll be out for both Dortmund games, the Carabao Cup and games against Chelsea and Arsenal. Moura is still injured, and Son is about to leave for the Asian Games for a month as well. All they've got left is Llorente, who is inconsistent at best.
Spurs will be very lucky to hold on to top 4 now, especially with the new run of from Man Utd find themselves in with OGS.
I'm not going to call Spurs a one-man team but this really is a devastating blow, but that's why you also need a world class bench if you're going to contend for the title as you can't just rely on one superstar. I think the battle is still going to be between City and Liverpool but Spurs could have gone on to do well in the Champions league. I think Dortmund will be too strong for them now especially without Kane.
With Kane out until March (missing the CL games and the league cup semi finals), Son on the Asian Cup for like a month, and Llorente being the only replacement in the foward position, I wonder if Daniel Levy will finally go and spend some money on a new signings...There's Morata who's currently looking for a new club, I think he would be a decent signing for Spurs, though if they want him, they better start moving now because Atletico Madrid is also interested in the spaniard.
Losing kane is big blow and their season could be over already, I just hope they'll at least be able to keep up the top four spot. About signing a new striker, I doubt Tottenham would be willing to splash out big cash on a striker like Morata, and Chelsea definitely wouldn't let him go cheaply either, the transfer seems like a dead end, They could however turn to Atletico Madrid where Nikola Kalinic is surplus to requirement despite just signing last summer.
Hmm, I wouldn't say that their season is over, they lose some goals with Kane injured, sure, but it's not like the rest of the squad can't score goals, Dele Alli, Eriksen, Moura, Lamela, and Son once he returns, they still have a lot of quality players to fight in both the EPL and the Champions League.
About Morata, yeah, I doubt Chelsea would want to strengthen Tottenham's squad. Kalinic could be a good choice, although he might be out of form since he barely plays this season.
No team is a one-man team but it's the equivalent of Barca losing Messi. Both are great teams but losing a world class or even just your best player is devastating for anyone
I think you can rule them out of the PL title race now & no chance in the CL.
Btw, I have never put and predicted Tottenham as a potential champion in the PL, by losing Kane now then I think the results will still not be much different because Tottenham have players who are good enough in every line and I'm sure they can still maintain their position at least in the top 4 in the standings until the end of the season.
I wouldn't have bet on them for sure, but give them a few years and they might. They've been finishing second and third for quite a few seasons so all they need is that little extra push. They need to strengthen their squad and maybe they will as the transfer window is now open but I could see them winning or maybe narrowly missing out on the title within a few seasons. If Poch leaves for United though that would be a huge set back. I'm not sure he will leave though.
