Harry Kane

[Monkey boy]

If we were to sell Kane I'd replace him with Dominic Calvert-Lewin.

Obviously I want to see Kane stay and we continue to rebuild around him, but it's not the end of the world if we get our replacements right (I know, big ask).

How much are we saying we'd get for Kane? £120m? £150m?

I reckon we could get DCL in for £80m. Then perhaps Grealish in for £70m.

Spend the regular transfer funds on Sabitzer and Skriniar.

We'd be going into the 21/22 season with a first XI of:

--------------------Lloris
Tanganga---Sanchez---Skriniar---Reggie
---------------PEH---NDombele
---------Grealish---Moura---Son
---------------------DCL

And a second XI of:

----------------Hart
Aurier---Toby---Rodon---Davies
------Skipp---GLC---Sabitzer
-------Bale---Vini---Bergwijn


With extras comprising of Lamela, Divine, Scarlett, Sessegnon.

Possibly selling or keeping Winks, Sissoko, Dier, Alli, Doherty.


That's still a really good squad tbh, so it's not the end of the world.

PS You know, there might be a better way to do it; sell Son to fund DCL and also sign a left winger. Then we'd have a ready-made replacement for Kane at the club to give us a better platform when negotiating the sale of Kane in the summer of '22.

time to lay off that giant pack of cigars that you’re clearly smoking.

selling Kane for £120m and replacing him with Dominic Calvert Lewin for £80m? God lord im not sure which part of that sentence is worse. DCL had a purple patch at the beginning of the season but has since returned to his mean average of scoring approx.. 1 in 4. Don’t let the fact that he’s scored against us on the both occasions we’ve played them this season fool you into thinking that DCL can get anywhere near the levels of Kane should we have to replace him.

Lineker got it wrong but he's ok in my book. It's not like he's always knocking us. He's often said good things about us in the past.

Nah mate. I'm talking about him as a person. He's not OK, he's either thick as shit, or totally detached from reality.

When he posted a tweet back in February, when the BBC announced the tv license fee would be going up, it proved what sort of a person he is.

We're in a climate where people can't work, or are losing their jobs due to Covid. A climate where countless companies are going out of business. Where pensioner's are being forced to pay almost £160 per year that they can't really afford, or struggle to do so.

Yet that self entitled **** is being paid £1.35Million per year to sit in a fucking TV studio & had the sheer audacity to tweet this shit below. No truly decent person would even think like that, let alone stick it on social media for millions of people to see.

So I'm sticking to my opinion. He's a **** of the highest order.

Fair enough but I try not to get bogged down in political stuff in these threads. As far as separating the football side, he's one of our own.

What a prick.

Hard to tell whether he really has that little empathy or whether he simply thinks he’s funny, when it’s clear he isn’t funny at all.

That’s also the problem with Twitter. Not only has it given a voice to every low life who can work a smartphone or computer, but it’s also given the false impression to celebrities that we are remotely interested in what they have to say about current affairs.

Just because they may be better then the average pundit to listen to chatting about their chosen field, doesn’t mean anyone gives a fuck about what they have to say about anything else.

Lineker is a troll, you don't take him seriously.

 

[CoopsieDeadpool]

Lineker is a troll, you don't take him seriously.

I'd seriously like to take him outside & slap his smug face for an hour.

No he’s not, he’s just another ex player that had played for us, like Redknapp or berba, even Mido is more of fan and actually considered to be one of us than those lot will ever be.

No he's not.. he's an ex player, but he's Leicester through and through.

 

[mark87]

Really don’t care. So many other clubs get weak penalty decisions, just seems like people try to pick out Kane for whatever reason.

It's because so many people hate him and I think they hate him because they hate us as a club and can't stand the fact that we've had a genuinely outstanding player come through our academy and he's been scoring goals for fun since he broke into the first team, and will obviously continue to do so until he retires. The fact that he's a genuinely good person is a fact that everyone wants to ignore.
Infact, it might annoy some non spurs fans that he's not a bellend as it doesn't give them a legitimate reason to hate him so they have to come up with complete bollocks about him and pick apart everything he does to help justify why they hate him so much.

 

[Nebby]

I seem to recall that Lineker was considered to be a right royal prick while at Spurs. Treated the non playing staff with continued disrespect.

[cjbyid]

Only the other day Ornstein said he wanted to leave sure!

Funny that.

 

[WannaDanceWithUdogie]

We don't deserve him. What a man

 

[ZiggySpurs]

Only the other day Ornstein said he wanted to leave sure!

Funny that.

Ornstein: Harry Kane wants to leave.

Spurs fans: Tier 3 at best, he's a dodgy scum fan

Ornstein: Harry Kane wants to spend the rest of his career at Spurs.

Spurs fans: Tier 1, never doubted him.

 

[wrd]

Ornstein has really undermined his credibility with that for me.

 

[VegasII]

Only the other day Ornstein said he wanted to leave sure!

Funny that.

Might as well change his name to Pornstein if everything’s going to be in/out, off/on.

 

[Guntz]

We don't deserve him. What a man

We really don't - I still can't believe we were blessed with a homegrown English number 9 who developed to be the best striker in the world.

 

[wiggo24]

TBF Ornstein the other day said Kane might want to leave Spurs but there would likely not be any market for him, he never said Kane would actually be leaving.

For me it's just common sense that nobody will be paying upwards of £150m for a 28 year old when the likes of Haaland, Mbappe and even Felix are all available for similar fees and 7/8 years younger. Most likely situation is that Kane signs another massive contract breaking our wage structure again to at least compensate him financially for staying with us imo.

 

[synththfc]

My captain. The only irreplaceable player we have.

 

[Guntz]

Just a quick question for everyone... If you were in Harry's shoes what would you do?

1. Stay for the rest of your career and potentially win a few domestic cups but be the club's and premier league's all-time leading goalscorer? As I'm pretty certain he'll break both records. He would then be the greatest player in our history.

2. Leave and go to City for example and win multiple trophies but not be considered such a legend? He would still be the greatest goal scorer in the premier league though.

I guess it just will come down to what his main motivations are - as it's not a very easy decision to make imo.
