I do agree he won't go on strike , he's far too classy for that, not sure his brother is too classy to start the rumour though...

Not sure if its a good or bad point, but from what I'm told his brother is absolute amateur hour. It's another sign though that Harry is a really nice bloke and that money isn't the be all and end all. In all honesty if he had a top drawer agent he'd probably have gone 2 years ago.

I’m not happy selling for £150m. I think we hold our ground whatever bid comes in. Man City are destroying the game even more than Abrahmovich has. They have bought up ten clubs across the globe and have players parked at each club that they can move around at will. They are playing a completely different game to the rest of us.

They just spent £20 plus million on a couple of under 18 South Americans, they’ve spent millions and millions on the youth system and have loads of talented kids sat in their academies they aren’t giving chances to. Instead they’re bullying clubs across the world with their financial power. They’re bullies and need to be stood up to.

Completely agree. Great post as usual!

Although the issue is if Kane now at this point really wants to go and is unhappy then it may be better to cash in at the best price possible with 3 years left on his deal rather than run the clock down a la Eriksen situation.

But I agree with your principles 1000%!

How much ambition does it really take to push for a move to a financially doped club?

It tells me someone is more interested in winning themselves a medal than in helping a team win a trophy. And, there is nothing wrong with that - buts it’s not really ambitious.

This x 1m

Fair enough he wants it, but i've been saying it for ages. Doesn't show ambition on a personal level at all. City win titles with or without him

I think giving Kane a £60m six-year contract shows more than enough ambition. Harry is fantastic throughout the season until the big matches come so his ambition should really be to work out why he gets played out of games by the good teams.

Or isit Tottenhams job to find a way to make him effective in the big games? Lets not kid ourselves he has scored big goals in big games. The problem is in a one off game (Final) most opposing teams already know that if they can stop Kane touching the ball, they are more likely to beat us. We need to either work tactically to open players like him up in them situations or frankly refresh the team with some quality. This way when Kane is marked or nullified we have another outlet to fall back on. Just my opinion.

It seems Harry is more worried about the jokes and memes than actually winning things with/for the team he "loves"
Who cares if people were putting on social media "yeah you've scored X goals but 0 trophies."

How much more meaningful would it be to pick up Spurs first title in god knows how many years as talisman/captain than Citeh's umpteenth title in as many years?

And imagine the ignominy of moving to a "bigger more ambitious" club and not winning anything there either... Can you handle those jokes Harry?

I used to think logically like that regarding Spurs.
Then we were about to move into our new £1B stadium and I thought 'We'll have to buy some quality to assure a top 4 finish. Can't go into a massive stadium and not have cl football.'
Instead we became the first club ever to buy absolutely no one in 2 transfer windows!!!

Firstly, we weren't "about to move into our new £1B stadium" during those "2 transfer windows!!!" (or 27, depending on whose maths is used) - that was the season when the stadium was delayed due to the electrics being done badly, which represented a financial risk - but it's been made clear several times over from ITK that there were other reasons why that happened, yet it still falls on deaf ears.

More importantly, why not reference what happened after we moved into the new stadium? Because it doesn't suit the confirmation bias?

I don't think our problems have been so much about how much we spend, it's just how we do it. In recent years, NDombele and GLC are a pair of midfielders that cost well over £100m, but have offered nothing in proportion to that value. Arguable, Hojbjerg (at near 10-15% of that) has eclipsed their contributions so far.

I agree. Matt Law managed to write a whole article about an England player saying that Harry could miss training if he wanted to force a move. There was no suggestion that he will or that the England player said he would.

Exactly- nonsense sports journalism again but you’ve got to provide copy so why not hugely exaggerate an opinion and blow it of all proportion if it concerns one of the highest profile players on the planet! It certainly will get a reaction; and it continues to do so!!

Kane’s played in 5 (?) finals for spurs and England. Failed to score or even perform well in any of them. Granted he’s arrived injured in some of them but that’s misfortunate.

Love the guy but this idea that he needs to leave spurs to have a chance to win silverware is rubbish. He’s the highest paid Englishman and since we moved into the new stadium, we have spent at least 200m net.

I remember watching Liverpool under Houllier and Benitez and they weren’t much better than we are now. Relying on two / three players to make the difference in big games. Son and Kane don’t do that for us in those matches, often enough.

I really wasn’t sure if Kane would leave or not, but Kevin Campbell on SSN just said he is, so that’s made my mind up for me.

Was he wearing a bow-tie at this point? Seen him a couple of times on SSN in that attire, looks like a poundshop Chris Eubank.

I can't wait to see the media scramble for excuses when he ends up staying, because they have been doing a hell of a lot of talking about him leaving as if it is guaranteed. Hell even if he goes, they deserve some fucking commission for all this work they've put in to get him sold.

The telltale sign is that Kane is literally his only client. He's riding on Harry's coat-tails and making some easy money (and who can blame him - I'm sure Harry's happy to help him out) but the lad must have bugger all contacts and experience if his only client is his brother.

He wants champions league, he wants to be challenging for the Premier league. We're not doing either so unless we start investing in the actual playing squad , you know the important part then we're going to have these issues.

With all due respect your post is made fully with your spurs blinkers on. Ambition to players isn't about having a nice stadium, if it was then they would choose us over chelsea everytime.

From the outside looking in were not st that top table, appointing nuno after that ridiculous manager search isn't the sort of appointment that changes that view, constantly having stories in the press of sell to buy doesn't change that view, being in the conference league certainly doesn't change that view.

Kane won't be looking at it like you and neither will anyone else except the model dedicated of spurs fans. And sure it's good to be loyal good to back the club but it's also good to be realistic and the only thing that changes the perception is to really invest in the playing squad. Otherwise were just a mid table team in a pretty stadium with a striker frustrated that his trophy haul won't match his talent.

I do agree he won't go on strike , he's far too classy for that, not sure his brother is too classy to start the rumour though...

There's no blinkers on but we have to be fair! I can understand that he wants CL - so do we! He wants to challenge for Premier League - so do we! To be fair to Spurs, we have tried - IMO, JM and the players lets us down! We were in a cup final and no cup glory.

I'm as frustrated as you!
But i'll support Nuno and hope we buy the right players and can win something soon.

Reminds me of Entourage and Vincent Chase.

Vince also had Ari. Who in your scenario is Ari?

If Kane was really serious about leaving Spurs, he’d have appointed a real agent. Having your brother do it is all well and good if you’re happy where you are and happy to earn what your club is willing to offer you. But if Kane moves it’ll likely be one of the most expensive transfers in history, with a massive contract for him too. You don’t want an amateur handling that kind of thing.

It’d be like asking needing an appendectomy and giving your brother the scalpel and saying “on you go lad.”

In fairly sure they have a very good contracts lawyer of the sports variety on retainer.

I would hope so, but there more to making a massive transfer work than having a lawyer check the contracts is legit.
