Harry Kane

mattstev2000 · Jul 23, 2021

With the way him and his team are approaching this situation I'm losing more and more respect for him - to the point where I'm not actually that bothered now if he goes or not so long as we get the appropriate amount of money for him. Certainly wouldn't wish him well if he trotted off to another Premier League team.

Son's loyalty today and obvious affection for the club when he could quite easily leave for bigger and better things just makes the contrast even more stark. Heung-min Son - he's one of our own.

I still think and will stick by the fact that I don't care if Kane is worth 150 plus this summer and if he goes next summer it could be in the 80-90 range. I don't give one lick.

To me, the rebuild we're hoping for would happen faster if we have Kane in the team for this season. Him and Sonny are settled, and even if he has a decent year amid speculation, our chances of top 4/5 are significantly higher than buying a new striker and bedding him in.

Next summer if he still wants to, he can leave, we still get a good chunk of change, and hopefully our squad as a whole is more settled and we can use that money to focus on another striker. the difference of 70m in today's market is maybe 1-2 players top. I don't really think we'll replace his quality with that money alone.

BREAKING: Man City stance on Harry Kane £160million deal reports

Manchester City have broken their silence on reports that they have agreed a new British record transfer fee for Tottenham striker

Man City break silence on Harry Kane £160million transfer reports
Manchester City have broken their silence on reports that they have agreed a new British record transfer fee for Tottenham striker

Manchester City have made it plain that talk they have agreed a £160million deal for Tottenham striker Harry Kane is nonsense.

And club sources say that the Blues will NEVER pay that kind of sum for a player - a fee that would have doubled their current record and lumped £30million on top.

Reports emerged overnight that City had agreed a £160million deal with Spurs, after the London club's chairman Daniel Levy had performed a U-turn and acceded to Kane 's request for a move.

It further claimed that City had agreed the whopping fee - which would easily be a British transfer record - and had lined up a £400,000-a-week salary to bring the England captain to the Etihad Stadium.

Talk sport (Talk Shite*), but if this is true, Harry and his brother have messed this up, the price will now be minimum 160, and if city aren’t prepared to pay it he’s going nowhere

A media war with all the spin is just getting started...

Beautiful.

See you back at training in a few weeks H!

Think first thing Harry needs to do is sign with a decent agent like Jorge Mendes before thinking of moving clubs, Charlie has fucked this proper for him

I don't really care that he wants to leave. I don't really mind if he's open about it publicly, either. Don't think he owes the club any false expressions of loyalty.

But the GN interview conducted in the middle of a crucial period, and the subsequent mass briefing of every reporter in the country that was timed to cause as much havoc and shock as possible?

Horrific behaviour that taints his legacy. His brother might think he's a blonde machiaveli but he has a Cockney accent and his Charles Tyrwhitt polyester suit is at least two puberties too tight. Sit down, lad. Man thinks blabbing to a showbiz reporter is his Red Wedding moment.

I think the way he's gone about it is fine tbh, he's always said for years and years that if Tottenham are being competitive and/or are on a clear path to doing so then he's happy to stay, he's 28 now its crunch time if he doesn't move now he could get a serious injury and/or he's getting towards 30 and opportunities to move will be much more limited.

He's come out and done an honest interview with Gary Neville and his team may be leaking the occasional story to the press to put a bit of pressure on, completely normal when angling for a big move as there will be resistance from all sides.

I will still respect Kane for what he's achieved with us and the effort he's put in and for making a sensible career decision and not going to one of our rivals, all completely fine by me.

I'd just rather it was sorted either way asap so we can plan accordingly, there are pro's and con's to if he stays or goes its all about how we re-build the squad either with or without him, both represent big opportunities if we do it right.

The thing that would be a bit disappointing is if City get Kane and Grealish then it just further exacerbates the problem with money and oilygarch owners in the game as they're basically playing real life fantasy football and no-one will get near them and its frustrating and boring.

I can't help but be angry at all of this.

In Football players come and go and we accept that. It's happened before but when you see an academy player rise all the way to the position of talisman, national captain, club icon and it ends in what looks like a move to a club like City it's a completely different ball game.

I just don't get it. As fans you dream of playing for your club, captaining your club, leading your club to glory but also as fans surely you'd struggle to switch that off when it comes to decisions on your career.

So why is it, that at the first sign that things aren't quite playing out as we had hoped at Spurs, the first proper downward trajectory in his time at the club, he wants out to move to a club that pick up trophies purely from financial muscle.

His whole family apparently love Spurs too and yet we have his brother, flapping about like a fish out of water, trying to force a move through with petty links to shitty papers, all for a quick buck.

I try to put myself in his shoes and forget the money, what would mean more to me? Seeing my family celebrating me scoring goals for the club we all love, maybe lifting a trophy as skipper for that club or seeing them celebrating me winning something that only matters to me?

They can tell me this is about ambition all they want, it isn't. There is literally no gratification in winning a trophy with a club like City, it's all about the money, the clout and buying little brother a new expensive crappy suit and securing yet more free tickets to the Super Bowl for him to slap all over his social media.

We've gone from having a quiet unassuming lad from Chingford to a bloke who wins the Golden Boot and the first thing he does? Whip off his custom made Nike boots to make sure they are in the photo with the trophy.

Sonny has just signed a new deal, a lad who is a genuine icon across an entire continent, a national team captain, playing in the PL in front of adoring fans, earning good money. Truly living his dream at a club he has grown to love. He talks about the club showing him respect, wanting to be a part of the future, despite the fact that he could up sticks and go anywhere he wanted in the hunt of empty trophies.

Sonny is the sort of player I want at my club, if Harry wants out then his legacy at Spurs will be tarnished for me.

Whilst I'm sure he's still a fan at heart football is also his career and the club is his place of work, and that's going to affect his perception massively in comparison to ours. Tbh it's why, even though positions have come up where I'd be a really strong candidate, I'd never work for Spurs.

I can’t bothered to read back…but why are people talking like Kane is off to City for 160m when every reliable journalist as rubbished the story?

Because people believe crappy gossip paper reports. I obviously was messaged by one of my mates who is an arsenal fan and i just laughed about it. Unless Kane comes out and says something officially with quotes or Levy then everything is still the same to me. Kane is under contract and if a club wants to sign him they have to pay a big fee, until that point all these "insider" stories are just gossip crap to sell papers.

philll · Jul 23, 2021

I'd fucking love it if Charlie "don't worry bruv I know what I'm doing" Kane's incompetence pissed off both the buying and the selling clubs and caused any potential deal to collapse. Harry really needs to get himself some proper representation.
