Harry Kane

[yankspurs]

There's a lot of chat that we've mismanaged the situation with Kane, but PSG's mess with Mbappe is a whole other level

Eh. Thats on Mbappe also. He's the idiot who signed that ridiculous contract with them last year despite not wanting to be there.

This is fine for Mbappe: he collects another year of insane salary at PSG then joins Real next summer on a free and he gets paid a huge singing on bonus.
It's PSG who look like mugs here: they can't force him to accept a move this summer and can't credibly threaten to exclude Mbappe from the squad, given Macron himself got him to sign the extension.

I'm not joking when I say that Mbappe literally wants like 1billion euro contract.

He is insane, but will most likely get it and it will be some sort of shady deal.

I'm not sure that he comes out the idiot with his massive bags full of cash and walking for free to Madrid in 12 months for a huge signing bonus at 25 years old! They've let him pull their pants down, and absolutely everyone saw it coming but them.

Fuck me, it’s just my opinion….

Just out of interest though, do you consider Kane’s behaviour a couple of years ago to be ‘professional’?

I’d consider it fairly standard fare yes. But if you’re suggesting Kane will down tools for 5 months based on him missing one game when we played City then we will have to agree to disagree

I’ll take the neg’s for this:

I think the desire for Harry to stay another year is coming from pre-nostalgia.

We know we are watching the greatest Spurs player we will ever see. Maybe we have not appreciated him enough as we can. We want the next season to truly express our appreciation, to experience his world class skill for as long as we can.

But, from a purely financial perspective, we should sell Harry. His major skills will not show in Ange football. We could use those €100MM for squad building.

How is it immaterial to the point? Its completely pertinent.

Agreeing price between the Clubs is the single most important deciding factor to whether a transfer goes ahead.

Levy wouldn't agree to sell the Clubs top asset for a knockdown price.

A fuss was kicked up because it was Charlie frigging Kane

Pink mate, you’re still missing the point.

What are the facts?

1 - Kane wanted to leave in 2021. We know that for sure from his own interview with Neville, let alone the constant leaks to the media from Chopper Charlie.

2 - Kane felt the club, Levy, were not allowing him to move, so he tried to force it. How do we know? He didn’t arrive back in time for preseason, effectively going on strike. It caused a media storm and the club subsequently fined him.

Those aren’t ITK or tabloid gossip, they are the facts.

Now consider the person. Kane isn’t Ndombele, he’s ‘one of our own’, England Captain, Mr Squeeky Clean. Can anyone honestly think such a desperate move like that on his part didn’t affect his relationship with the club & Levy? Did he magically forget it all on September 1st 2021 and hug Willow, mewing ‘all is forgotten Dear Leader’, COYS, H? He clearly felt let down and lost trust in the club/Levy.

So my original point stands, if Harry felt pigged off to do something completely out of character - arguably the very last person you’d expect that from in the PL - then relationships were soured that summer, probably beyond repair. Yes. City played their part, but Kane went on strike long before the close of the window and City still had plenty of time to offer more well after. This wasn’t about City, it was about Kane and Levy.

To be fair, Levy has done nothing since to prove Kane was wrong in wanting to leave and I’d back A&C to become Pope before he signs a new contract.

Haha fair play. I get my posts out before proofreading them, and then adjust. But you got me.

 

[Scott Spur]

We need to remember that Harry Kane was perfectly prepared to leave two years ago on his own instigation so anyone holding out on the idea his love of the club will keep him here needs to give their head a wobble.
I feel like I'm coming across as a bit anti Harry Kane today but I'm really not my admiration for him knows no bounds but I believe I'm being realistic.

Spot on mate.

So you're saying...think like Daniel (,COYS), and not like an actual football fan?

Okay.
Personally, I don’t see having a fucking tantrum and deliberately coming back late as particularly professional. If one of my consultants did it they’d be out. No question.

Also, please go back and read my post where I clearly state that I’m not talking about ‘downing tools’ so that I don’t have to explain it again…

 

[jbstarr14]

Been wondering about this for a couple of days - where are the ‘let him rot on the bench/in the reserves if he won’t sign’ crowd? Been very loud about situations like this in years gone by. Strangely not so vocal lately…

You said he wouldn’t play at 100% after January and we wouldn’t have him’ after that ‘at best’. Sorry if me paraphrasing that as downing tools is upsetting you. Also apologies if you think one of your consultants and a footballer should always be judged by the same standards, I suspect you will be disappointed. Lastly, the post I was replying to doesn’t clearly state that you aren’t talking about downing tools at all. You literally said we would have him until January at best. But other than that, you’ve made a great argument. Despite footballers playing out their contracts on a regular basis, Kane won’t be playable after January.

Jesus christ, wish people would stop posting this shit, this isn't facebook, just post what you think, if people like it or dislike it nevermind.

Much rather people post what they actually want to say without worrying about the fucking ratings they'll get.

As for you last sentence, the last training video I saw from a training video was Kane curling a ball from deep to someone who scored and (I think Ange) shouted after "What a ball H" When you have a player like Kane, you make him work in your system.

£100m I'd be happy with, straight up cash, at worse in 2 instalments, other than that, fuck off.

If that crowd actually exists then they are quiet because it would be fairly stupid to bench one of your best players in the final year of their contract, let alone one who scored 30 goals in an awful side

I have absolutely no idea what the bold bit is supposed to mean. If there is a system of football Harry Kane won’t ‘show’ in ive no idea what it is. He looked unbelievable in a system I could only describe as ‘clueless nonsense’ for the second half of last season

Have there ever been such a crowd?
Maybe when a player is kicking off, threatening to go on strike, or giving half-arsed performances but as yet, Kane isn't doing any such thing.

And also, we've not really been in a situation like this before.

Spot on about peeps worrying about ratings. Worrying about what others think and especially on here when we all share the same common goal!

I am honestly afraid that Levy thinks he can squeeze Bayern for more than 100m pounds, then we most likely will see the situation where Kane stays this year, and we end up with the cheaper CB option, then end up in 6-9th place and be in an even bigger panic next summer when he leaves for free to Chelsea or United. Haaland left for 70m with one year, so therefore fair pricing would In my opinion be around the 80-90m at the highest.
