Harry Kane

[Amo]

I thought the general stance was always if we got an offer of £200 million, it would be considered? What’s changed overnight?

The club aren't going to brief the exact minimun figure they hope to receive. Just as they don't lead with their final offer when bidding for a player.

 

[-Afri-Coy-]

We must do to them what Barcelona did to PSG with Neymar, force them to pay upfront and the figure we want, I’ve been saying this all along.

I think FFP has been relaxed for the next two windows, I might be mistaken but if it’s true then this is probably City’s only chance to sign two big ticket players without having to cook their books again. It’s going to be interesting to see how it pans out.

 

[King of the Lane]

Only player id take in a player + cash deal is Laporte. Him and Romero would give us an elite CB partnership.

If its just cash then I think we need to buy some established top players rather than just young ones with potential. Thats where we went wrong with the Bale money.

 

[rockyhotspur]

Modders didnt for sure.... bale at the time was a WORLD record fee had agreement with Levy atleast gentleman's one and he really was up tere just under Ronny and Messi at the time and no one could begrudge him going to Real practically one of the best 2 clubs in the world at the time .... Berba similar had a gentleman's with levy (reported anyway) that hurt more in a way due to the last minute timing of it , no replacement (campbell dont count as a replacement) and robbie going aswell

I am afraid that you are incorrect. In 2011 Modric wanted to go to Chelsea and until the end of the summer transfer window walked around the pitch putting in terrible performances. If I remember correctly he wouldn't play in our first match at Man U which we also lost heavily. In particular I remember the home game against City when we lost 1-5 when he was absolutely terrible.

To be fair to him though after the window closed and he couldn't move anywhere his performance levels went back up. He was then sold to Madrid at the end of that season and the rest is history.

You could well be right - Paratici's signings might not come off and we might find it impossible to replace Kane's goals.

But the thing is, the future you're describing is already here. We haven't seriously challenged for CL for the past 2 seasons WITH Harry. It's no good having Kane if the defence is a joke and the squad is imbalanced.

There's no denying Kane is irreplaceable, but so were Bale, Modric and Berbatov and ultimately we always ended up better off after they left (despite some initial wobbles).

I don't think it's a given that we succeed without Kane, but given we're already failing with him in the squad, I'm not convinced things can actually get much worse, especially if Paratici spends well.

Sorry I think things will get worse, a whole lot worse and it gives me no pleasure saying that at all.

Yep, we know they are money cheats, we know their sugar daddy will give them the cash if they want it, so we shouldn’t do any structured deals or swaps. All cash, or fuck off back to the desert.

Is Shearer’s record so impressive because he didn’t go to united? Achieving that with Blackburn/Newcastle really stands out.

Likewise, are Teddy and Berbs Man U “legends”? Probably not. Is Bale a Madrid “legend”?.

I’d say that real legend status is above your trophy haul. Does anyone give a fuck how many medals Andy Cole’s won?

Kane could go to Man City, earn more money than he’ll ever need and probably win quite a few trophies but will he leave behind a legacy? I’m dubious.

We must not do what Barca did with the Neymar money, though

 

[Scot-Spur]

We would be silly not to think about asking for Bernard Silva in any deal, the season before last he was outstanding! I think he could fill a hole playing on the RW.
Laporte is also so far ahead of anyone we have in that position at the moment.
Whether they would want to join us? We are a huge team in our own right and can offer decent wages and first team football!

If eve there was a time to sell it is now, get it done and invest the money in the team! In a buyers market we could reform the team and be in a better position. Its not all bad.

Diasgree massively, he didnt throw any tantrums and continued the next season playing great football, he didnt at all in anyway play poorly after not being sold to the dirty scummy rent boy chavs, he played very very well before moving to Real... did he want to go yes maybe. did he play poorly not all or the following season before joining Real... thats utter rubbish your stating completely..... Anyway this is the kane thread so will get back to that and leave it at that

100% fact! ?

 

[Wsussexspur]

Maybe I’m just mellowing out in my old age.

Maybe it’s as well cause I just don’t care or hate Man City. They are abit of an irrelevance to me. Not a big club just a rich Shakes toy! Also Helps that we Don’t see any Man City fans really down south I guess.

Anyway I don’t get the anti Kane vibes going on. I can’t blame him for wanting to leave we have regressed rapidly over the past two season and don’t look like we are anywhere close to challenging for trophies for a while. We are in a third rate European trophy which let’s face it no one with any ambition wants to be in and if we win it well it will be nice but nothing to crow about. We had a complete farce of a manger search

He can go to city and pretty much win a trophy a season play in the champions league season in season out and earn a lot more money.

I don’t like how it’s playing out from Kanes side in the media and that does leave abit of a sour taste. However for me it doesn’t taint what he has done for us over the years.


Guess that may change if he effectively go on strike and refuses to train etc.

I still struggle to see him leaving this season. However am sure he will probably go next summer.

Agreed, Laporte and Bernardo are certainly two players we should be interested in as part of any deal, and it is not totally unrealistic that they would come here as they both seem to have a desire to keave City.

 

[Mattspurs1982]

If that happens I can see us being left high and dry without a replacement. Nobody is selling us a striker of the required ability on deadline day. If it happens, it has to happen, from our point of view, in the next ten days. Paratici is known to put deadlines on things. He will have to here. If he does and it goes past that date and we hold firm and refuse to deal it will show we have the balls for it and things really are different. If not and levy let’s him go in the last week then we will know nothing at all has changed behind the scenes.

This is what Dortmund did with Sancho last year - United didnt meet the deadline and the player stayed for 1 more year

Its easy for us fans to see it like that though, we arent in the players boots. For Kane to retire without a major piece of silverware would be pretty sad.

And was a shadow of the player he had previously been at the club.

Anyway we keep hearing about "Levys valuation" being a lot more than Levy's valuation, If they buy jack for £100M there is absolutely NO WAY they are going to splash out another £150M for Kane.

No, All I said that he didn't play well, or try very hard, for a few weeks at the beginning of the season due to wanting to go to Chelsea. He also didn't play at all against Man U as "his mind was elsewhere". I also never said that he had thrown any tantrums. You are stating quotes that I didn't say at all.

 

[barry]

I meant it to sound at least as harsh as it sounded. The post I was responding to was vile, in the slimiest possible way. As I said: "ingratiating and passive-aggressive in the same breath". I couldn't have put it better myself.

And incorrect, which is worse.

And you're just as bad. You're lying. If I'm on your "ignore" list, you wouldn't have seen my post. No one quoted it.

Something about the ITK forum brings out the bullshit in people and bullshit brings out the rudeness in me.

I don't belong in this forum. Too much bullshit to tolerate.

Now please put me back on "ignore", so I don't need to deal with your shit anymore.

I don't care about the drama, but I've noticed you're obviously very well respected on here, because everyone ascends to your level of English, rather than their standard level. Even people who vehemently disagree with your point.

That's a powerful fucking aura. True sign of respect buddy. You bring them to your world. Be happy about that, as that's a gift.

 

[KILLA_SIN]

In the absence of winning any trophies having players like King, Modric, Vertonghen, Eriksen, Berbatov, Kane, Bale, Walker, Rose, Lennon, Hugo, Toby, and others have made being Spurs fan tolerable. I think the players management and owners have all a part to blame in falling short of reaching the top prize. At least there is some good memories. I can't blame Kane for leaving everyone who has left to win has. And everyone who stuck hasn't.

 

[RJR1949]

Man City are running out of time.

There is now the clearest evidence that they have been cheating on FFP: an email hacked and leaked by Der Spiegel shows that Etihad put £99m into City by way of sponsorships but that they were reimbursed all bar £8m of this by an Abu Dhabi state investment fund; presumably £8m was the fair value of the sponsorship. City had a big loss in the UK courts last week when the courts refused City’s request to keep all the evidence confidential.

There a good chance that City will face some combination of spending caps, transfer bans and point deductions. So going there might not guarantee trophies.

They might decide that buying Grealish and Kane would be flaunting how they have escaped FFP and lead to tougher punishments.

 

[Matthew]

of we are going to sel him for circa 150m, and we’re not already spending the money on Romero etc, and the Kane sale is extra wonga!… go get haaland and pay him 350k a week, I’m sure he’d come if the money was there!
