Paul Robinson has said that it is frightening to think how good Tottenham would have been this season had they kept Harry Kane at the club.
Many Spurs fans were understandably worried about where the goals were going to come from following Kane’s departure this summer, with the striker having carried the club on his shoulders for quite a while.
However, based on the evidence of the first seven games of the season, Spurs have become a better team despite losing the 30-year-old, thanks to their smart recruitment in the summer and the style of play that Ange Postecoglou has instilled.
As expected, Kane has started like a house on fire at Bayern Munich, having scored nine goals and provided four assists in his first nine games across all competitions for the German giants (Transfermarkt).

Spurs would be scary with Harry Kane in the team
Robinson believes that the England captain would have already scored a bucketful if he was leading the attack for this new-look Spurs side.
The former Tottenham number one said on The Debrief: “Are Spurs better without Harry Kane or is it just a different way? It’s frightening to think if Kane was in that team with James Maddison and Kulusevski the way he has been playing, how many he would’ve scored already.”
Spurs Web Opinion
At the highest level of the game, we are often talking about a difference of one or two per cent, tactically, mentally and physically.
A football dressing room has a delicate dynamic and we cannot say for sure that we would have been this good had Kane stayed at the club, although it is quite plausible that we would have been even better.
All things considered, this summer was the right time for the club to sell the 30-year-old and put an end to all the speculation. The deal suited all three parties.
