Harry Kane

[panoma]

Campbell is a grade a prick, I despise him now as much as I ever did.

He wasn't right . He lied, led us along and went to the one place he knew was a huge huge no-no and then has tried the innocent act ever since.

He is a good example of my issue with spurs to this day.

It's always the fans that lose out, every single time. 20 years we have had this lot, pissing around with some success in the second decade but let's have it right, nobody knew Bale was going to turn into that player. He was a left back when we signed him and on the verge of being sold to forest when Redknapp finally gave him a chance. His rise wasn't a genius move it was a young left back we signed that exploded , an amazing story. And Kane himself was a good striker, nobody expected this but how often does a Harry Kane or. Gareth Bale come along? To get a Harry from your youth system isn't a regular thing.

So after years of watching the scum and the chavs win and win, we got a few years of success , except we won't sweet FA and then have just stopped as the chavs do what they do and now the scum are back, oh joy, I'm going to love them lording it over us again because it didn't happen for most of my life. Oh and the one manager who brought joy is now at bloody Chelsea (RAT!).

Harry would be absolutely mad to stay. Even I as a sad obsessed middle aged fan who grew up five minutes from the stadium and could hear the crowd from my bedroom window as a kid, even I would leave. I wouldn't want to work for Daniel Levy. In fact if I was a young player and spurs wanted me I wouldn't go because if I was a success and a Madrid or another side who actually win things come along , Levy whilst refusing to compete wouldn't let me go until I see out a long contract probably losing my time years competing for fourth.

And it's the fans that suffer. He charges the most in the world for everything, he has covered our shirt on red, demolished our home for a soulless entertainment venue, all in the aid of competing which so many sensible Tottenham fans rightly understand, except we never do compete.

Everything about us is pretending to be a big club, but we're not. Were a brand that has figured out how to maximize the amount of cash we can fleece whilst spending as little as possible on the actual football team.

I'm sorry for the rant, the thought of Judas set me off but I sit here and think about how our greatest ever player wants to go to a Mickey mouse league and a club he doesn't care about because he really has no choice if he wants to win anything. It's so sad and such a waste.

Honestly take our emotion and you can't offer one reason why he should stay. Were just lucky he doesn't wanna run down his contract and join that rat at the chavs.

Fantastic post mate!

"Everything about us is pretending to be a big club, but we're not. Were a brand that has figured out how to maximize the amount of cash we can fleece whilst spending as little as possible on the actual football team".

The quote is such a good summary of our club, or should I say entertainment brand. Might as well make it our motto, as that's basically what we are.

Sadly, absolutely nothing will change as long as the money keep flowing to ENIC. Brilliantly done by Levy and ENIC (from an investment perspective).

I agree with all you say, except the bit about the fanbase being divided. Surely, anyone with any awareness can't STILL be supporting Levy?

I don't support levy, and think he has taken the club as far as he can. However, I am focusing my energies on getting behind whoever puts the shirt on. I'm disappointed about the lack of a cb, I will still be cheering the players on when we play utd on the 19th August.

I said at the start of Anges tenure that I will give every player a blank slate. I'm not changing that perspective.

 

[piedpiper]

And going on strike to try to force a move isn’t as bad or disrespectful to club and fans?

Naaaah no where close to the disrespect our own fans show to players whom they don't fancy any longer. it works both ways. I don't hold it against Kane or any other player who wishes to move on.

I agree on the clean slate to a point.

When we burn through managers almost every year (or every other), that’s a lot of clean slates. If only real life was like that.

It feels like some players are beyond recovery, or simply were never good enough. Add to that they are taking up squad places and wage budget, blocking new players (that in theory would be bought to our new system).

That being said, Ange genuinely feels different. Totally different playing system and ethos.

In terms of incomings needed, it all feels too rushed and too much work needed for this season. Those clean slates might be needed.

If we get Kane in for 100m euro that should make us ready for one single target in my opinion. Tomori should be our man to build around he is young, already a leader, has calmness, speed and reads the game truly well (perfect Romero partner) and of course English. Tomori, Tel and then we are able to focus on moving players on.

If and when Kane departs, who is getting penalty duties??

 

[spurs mental]

If and when Kane departs, who is getting penalty duties??

Son, Maddison.

 

[mil1lion]

If and when Kane departs, who is getting penalty duties??

Son I would think but if we sign Vlahovic he's very good at them

 

[biscuit]

So is Tapsoba.

 

[Bluto Blutarsky]

Son, Maddison.

Not sure about Son. 7 pens made in his career, 5 pens missed.

 

[Dundalk_Spur]

I wonder if we'll see a continuation of people saying the same thing, basically, variations on 'this needs sorting out quickly' or 'we can't let this drag on'. I mean, it's pretty much all we've had for a few days now and it must easily run to 20 pages a day, just of that, never mind the rest.

Although I must admit, each time some wise sage repeats it, i'm sure someone else says "fuck me, that's the fifth time he's said that, I wasn't sure to begin with but that fifth time has convinced me......I think i'll agree now"

What do you do with all the toys and dummies? Do you give them to kids charities, raffle them off??

 

[EssexSH27]

Son, Maddison.

Maddison took a dreadful one at back end of the season. Awful timing too, arguably cost them the win.

Maddison has scored 6 pens, missed 2
Son was 7, 5

Bissouma was reportedly taking pens after a recent training session...

 

[isaac94]

Remind me why ‘we’ have failed him? We’ve been to finals, he hasn’t turned up in any of them.

trophies are won by 1 player and failed in the sense that since the highs of Poch the recruitment and running of the club has been poor, and been on a steady decline, which the brilliance of son and harry of papered over the cracks of.

 

[Bluto Blutarsky]

If and when Kane departs, who is getting penalty duties??

Richarlison has scored 7, missed 1 in his career.

 

[Cel]

Richarlison has scored 7, missed 1 in his career.

He's also got that kind of arrogant streak I like in a penalty taker, can't see him phased by taking one at all.

 

[yido_number1]

Richarlison has scored 7, missed 1 in his career.

Shame he has a worse games played to missed record through injury for us.

 

[Huddlebone]

There is absolutly no chance we are getting Vlahovic he is on 250k a week at Juve right now, that is the reason they are trying to sell him right now because they run the club in similar fashion to levy and are in panic mode finanically now because of last summer when the overpaid for Vlahovic, Bremer, Locatelli and are out of Europe now.

 

[CanadaSpurs]

New in the ITK thread from dovakhin, it will be a young forward, Richarlison will get the tob job if Harry goes.

The right decision
