A lot of emotive assumptions in there. Understandable of course. Let’s just see eh?

Agree. It’s always been the same. When we lost Berbatov, when we lost Modric, when we lost Bale. Yet here we all are. If we all gave up when Bale left we would never have had the enjoyment of watching Kane.

Anyone that remembers will know we got worse after all these and managers got sacked.

Going by reports Muani is £75 million and Tapsoba is £45 million

No chance Levy will buy those 2 players on the back of selling Kane. Ange will be told his replacement was bought last summer as a contingency for selling this year. If im wrong i'll hold my hands up but I dont trust the hierarchy at this club to reinvest fully and wisely on the first team. We dont even know who the hell owns the club anymore, an utter directionless shambles at the top.

Sorry went off on one there.

Smashing post.

The rationalization now is that we'll create more chances than we have been recently, so the poorer finishers we have post-Kane will just recreate him in the aggregate by not being as good but just having many more attempts.

There's lots of assumption in that, and I'll be interested in how patient fans are with Ange. But even using that premise, it's so shitty that we'll relinquish a world class finisher when the footy might become more attacking.

Well done Levy, you bellend, hiring dinosaur managers to play cynical shitball while an awesome spurs-grown finisher is in our ranks.

Irony in that statement is Harry Kane was 100% behind Mourinho and Conte and probably the driving force in Levy's decision to go with "trophy-winning" managers over the culture of the club. Do we not remember that the entire talking point behind getting those manager's was so the club would push on and win trophies with Harry and he was ecstatic to work under those two.

No we didn’t. We finished higher than we had in about sixty years and reached our first ever Champions League final shortly after we sold those players.

Edit: maybe you were being ironic?

Considering the amount of foreign players playing in England and bringing families with them to live here don't see any problem in Kane & family living and working in Germany for a few years.

I would imagine Hugo’s children attended one of the
Lycée Français

Spotted a young lad yesterday in his new jersey with Kane on the back. No older than 10.

I remember how i felt when Ginola left. I cried for days. I was 11.

That poor kid I saw yesterday is going to be heartbroken. And his folks are going to need to get him a new kit.

It'll be a sad day when he goes. A shame that it ends without him lifting a trophy. A shame for him that he probably won't break Shearers record. He could have done it in the next 2 seasons, be it here or somewhere else in the PL. It would hurt seeing him break it elsewhere but I'd still feel a sense of pride if he did break it. The guy has scored an outrageous number of goals for this club, become our record scorer, and given everything.

I don't think he wants to leave but he's probably right to leave now. This is his 4th manager in 4 years. That's not stable for any club. Not conducive to progress which is all hes ever wanted. We've stagnated since we left the Old Lane unfortunately. Im not sure even finishing 4th last season would have been enough to appease his desire for progression.

If this is to be it, fairwell Harry. Thank you for everything except your brother and your behavior two summers ago. Go win a Ballon D'or and come back for Shearers record in a couple years time. At Spurs.

You know what, I found it harder coming to terms with the fact Hugo’s done with us. I’ve bloody loved him for a decade and think he will be every bit as big a vacuum in the heart of the lineup as Kane. Always a first name to look for, always felt he was capable of the impossible in terms of shot stopping. Etc. That really annoying Poch quote about the painful rebuild is epitomized in these two going at the same time, but part of me really does think, done right, we could be moving into some exciting times, so I’m focused on that.

for all the younger fans losing their first real hero, those I feel sorry for.

Unsure if parody

Oh shit he's 30 now? Don't tell Bayern - they'll want to shave 10 million off his asking price.

I like the positive thinking. But there is no denying that those departures set us back for quite some time.

This whole “we are losing Kane because of mismanagement” stuff is a bit rubbish.

He has been here way, way longer than most would have been in the modern game. Infact the reason he is still here is because of the huge long contract he signed.

Now I am as far from a BDSOL as you can get, hate what the little twerp is doing to our club, but the reason he has been here so long is actually because Levy tied him into that contract.

Every big club lose their big players at some point. Unless you are Real or maybe City. Ronaldo left United, Liverpool lost Coutinho (bad example but at the time he was their man), would have loose Gerrard had it not been for shady shenanigans. Look at PSG and MBappe. We’ve lost Bale, Berbatov, Modric. Going back further Gazza, Waddle…

Every club loses players, if anything it’s an outlier in todays game that someone so talismanic has stayed at one, pretty under achieving club, for so long.

It’s mismanagement we’ve won sweet FA while Kane has been here. But it’s not mismanagement he’s finally leaving, it’s long over due.

Reports are the meeting is with Bayern today, likely bit of back and forth over weekend so reckon by Monday we'll have a much better idea how its going to pan out.
I had forgotten how shit it is to be the smaller club in one of these transfer sagas, it's shit

If our fans ever forgive Levy for wasting the years we’ve had one of the best strikers in the history of English football then our fan base really are softer and more spineless than I thought.

Any other club would be looking at the situation we’re in and protesting already. Being forced to sell a player like Kane should make his position untenable, but it won’t because he’ll buy a couple of defenders we should have bought anyway and people will forget about it.

It’s a disgrace. Plain and simple. No amount of terrible PR and recovery signings can dispute that fact.

Southgate deserves the same ire

That’s the nature of football. Players also retire and come towards the end of their careers, we also have to deal with that.

I'll bet that he won't feel as bad as that Newcastle fan who got the Andrew Cole tattoo just two days before he signed for Man United

No, we eventually got better but immediately got worse. When berbatov left we had 2 points from 8 games and Ramos got sacked.

When modric left it led to redknap getting sacked and when bale left AVB got sacked.

It's a total disaster that we are going to lose Kane and it is the result of mismanagement of the club since Poch left with the wrong managers coming in and a very poor transfer record. The club (Levy) is totally responsible for us being in the situation now where probably the best player in our modern history is going to leave despite being a Spurs man through and through.

It really is shameful and although I can understand and even come to accept that Kane is going, it doesn't change the fact that this is a total disaster and is going to weaken us considerably.

We will recover but we will likely never see another truly world class player in our team for a very long time unless we get bought over.

Exactly this. Well done, perfect post.

Eventually is a relative term. We got better within a couple of seasons. I don’t know how old you are but I have followed Spurs for decades. A couple of seasons is not a long time in football.

If it's true that Kane already met Tuchel/the club and agreed to join Bayern before the summer... then he hasn't given Ange or the new setup a chance... although he has behaved in a good manner towards us... I think that's a shame
