Harry Kane given Steven Gerrard warning amid transfer feud with Daniel Levy

[McFlash]

Campbell was/is still the worst. Kane's possible transfer to Citeh is not even close to that (IMO).

I've said it before and I'll say it again.
I bought that lovely blue and yellow Adidas kit, long sleeved with Campbell on the back, on the strength of him saying he would be signing a new deal.
He fucked off like a week or so later and I've never worn the fucking thing.
Utter, utter ****!

Massive blow for Leicester to lose their stand-out player/defender just before the season starts. You don't expect leg-breaking tackles in a pre-season friendly

Fofana suffers broken leg in friendly

Leicester defender Wesley Fofana confirms he has suffered a broken leg in a pre-season friendly against Villarreal.

There's always an acceptable price.

We moved on after Klinsmann, we moved on after Berbatov - we will move on after Kane.

Klinsmann was a year and berbatov was 3.

Not a patch on Kanes goalscoring record

Think you're missing my point mate, which is that good players will come and go

Comparing their goalscoring records is not fair either. Klinsmann for sure didn't have the same quality behind him as Kane had/has.

I had no expectations that modric would hang around too long. We were always going to be a stepping stone for him, and spurs meant nothing much to him. I suspect the obscure club he truly loves has fans that sing of killing communists and minorities.

Walker of course loves sheffield utd. Their fans also sing of killing communists and minorities. He's done well for himself but his club have won nothing.

They were both just passing through. They were here for the money and raising their profile.
Whereas kane is one of our own. He rode that chant into the 1st team, then to being one of the top strikers in europe. A very wealthy man. And a man who now thinks he is bigger than the club.

No man is bigger than the corporation oh sorry i mean badge

Its 2021 and people still have this "bigger than the corporation" mentality. Embarrassing.

Teddy, Anderton and Barmby might have something to say about that.

The defining moment of Sol Campbell’s career was leaving Spurs. It’s what people associate with him. People from all clubs. People win trophies every season. What characterises them is moments like this.

I think most people remember Sol Campbell for two things. (1) Leaving and going to Arsenal. (2) lying by saying he wasn't leaving and then joining Arsenal straight after. At least Kane has said he wants to leave and where he wants to go. I don't agree with the stand that Kane has made and how he has gone about it but at least he's been up front about it. Campbell just didn't care about the fans and stuck two fingers up at us.

I’m not comparing the two situations other than to say they have both gone about their leaving Spurs the wrong way. Both could have gone with the fans backing (to a point). Look at Carrick. He held his tongue, got on with the job and when the deal was struck he moved on. Professional. Campbell could not have left in any worse circumstances.

At the end of the day the majority of players want to win trophies I cried when Sheringham and left to go to Man United I hated him but over time I understood look all the trophies he won the same with Berbatov. Its just a job and people have to do what's best for them.

Yes, if you want to look at it in a purely binary way. However, many people work along the lines that they do the best for themselves but also value their customers. What Kane is doing is the equivalent of ripping off loyal customers purely to satisfy his own aims. Much as I hope his efforts fall flat on their face, I don't want him around any more after such a disrespectful display. Only people who honour the shirt deserve to wear it.

I often find it intriguing that people (not either of you specifically) are more willing to make excuses for players who leave the club to benefit themselves (trophies, bigger wages etc.), than for a chairman who won't run the club at a loss and blow a huge hole in his own pockets.

I was considering getting his name printed on the same kit (short sleeve version), but he left just before I pulled the trigger, so I dodged that bullet. It put me off getting any player names on my shirts for years though. I did eventually get 'Bale' on my 2010-11 home shirt, which I still felt OK about wearing after he left.

Harry Kane issued advice by Dimitar Berbatov amid Man City strike

Tottenham Hotspur captain Harry Kane has been subject to speculation of a £150m move by Manchester City in recent weeks, with the striker missing training as a result.

Who cares, his reputation is irrelevant. He wants to win trophies.

He can't blame anyone else but himself about not having won that. He already had the chance of winning the most important trophies in Europe, both at international and club levels, and at least at club level he didn't do what was needed for him to win it (which was to step aside and let a fit and in form Moura start instead of him).

That was Poch's fault, he was the reason why we came up short in the final, it was his decision to play a unfit striker for 90 mins.

 

[eViL]

Good luck with finding someone who will pay £160m for him.

The club don't want someone to find the fee for him. That's the point.

They would sell now though if City came in with a bid of £160m, but that's obviously not gonna happen.

Yes, I agree that the ultimate responsible was Pochetino and he lacked the balls to do what was necessary, but Kane did have some control over the situation, and he chose his own ego over what was best for the club. Kane very easily could have admitted to Pochetino that he wasn't feeling ready to play the whole match, but that he desperately wanted to be an option from the bench or something.

Because that's the price (you could argue it's probably more going on ITK). City have the money, just not legitimately. Levy knows it.

Levy doesn't care about City's accounting. The price is the price or we keep our biggest asset who's on a heavily performance incentivised wage.

Are you OK? ??

Did you seriously think about what you wrote out ?

Come on, very very very few players are going to say "hey boss I don't want to play in the champions league final". The final was Poch's fuck up and no one else's. If Levy was smart he should have got rid of him after that but that's another story.

 

[Dave1976]

So, how about we let Kane for for £100m, and get Messi for free?! It turns out he's looking for a new club now!. Or, is Harry now going to come back to Hotspur Way cap in hand?! Interesting.

You're twisting what I said, not getting to start the match isn't at all the same as not getting to play. Also, you really don't think Harry Kane was being dishonest when he declared himself fit enough to play that match? I really can't take him seriously when he says he wants to win a trophy so much, because when he had the golden opportunity to win the biggest trophy at club level, he didn't do what was needed from him, which was to step aside and let his teammates to finish off the job, since sadly he was in no conditions to do it himself.
