Harry Kane

European????

Aim low

I don’t recall him ever being Leicester-mad either until they won the league.
But yes certainly wouldn’t consider him one of our own. Don’t think he ever attended a big occasion (125 years, match post-Bill Nic passing, last day at WHL) he probably sees it as beneath him.

He’s genuinely one of the most disliked people in football too.

Lovely story about him from another Board wish I could post it on here.

Haaland even...

Indeed. Forgot all about him. Though I've got a feeling Man City may be all over that one.

Back to Kane, though. I'm seeing all these posts about how we should stick with Mourinho because Kane backs him & thinks highly of him. Which is fair comment!

Since being a kid, I've always been taught/believe that no player is bigger than the crest on the shirt. However, I'm wondering now if Kane may be the exception to the rule?

He did a Q&A with Jamie Redknapp on Instagram last year, he chose PL title.

Tbf, if he said Top Prem scorer he'd have been slaughtered for being selfish. He knows what gives him the longest lasting legacy.

No player is ever bigger than any club see Ferguson and Beckham for that one.

There is life after Kane when that time comes the club will move on...but for now it would be great if LEVY invested more on quality players to help Kane.

The club has always been run with the handbrake on since levy has been in charge and I can't see it changing.

It hasn’t though has it? Just constantly saying it, doesn’t make it true.

It has and you saying different doesn't make that true.

When you're a big club this tends to happen, Messi, Ronaldo, Neymar all become bigger than their respective clubs and become fully indulged. I mean player power is rife these days anyway so it comes as no surprise but clubs will do anything to bend over backwards for their most prized assets because they generate the most money for them.

We’ve spent big on players. The stadium was a massive risk and investment.

If you consider sound financial management as having the ‘handbrake on’, then I’m glad of it.

Ultimately it sounds like you’re complaining because we haven’t got reckless owners, or a sugar daddy who could buy us the league.

That's where Bale comes into the equation from a Real point of view they might see it as leverage seeing were suppose to have this special arrangement nonsense.

Bale wouldn't even be considered as a bargaining chip when it comes to Kane. One in his prime, the other, not so much.


Ps, the special arrangement nonsense was brought to an end in 2014 -

He won't move abroad, but he might move to City. Its the only place I could see him going to. He'd score 40+ league goals a season in their current team.

And the only team in the PL who would and could pay for him.

I agree. But we have people on here saying we must stick with Mourinho because of Kane backing him. So is that not indirectly putting Kane ahead of what could be in the clubs best (long term) interests?

Possibly but perhaps the club are concerned over their best asset looking elsewhere in any case who knows at the moment.

Obviously I hope Harry stays, breaks Shearer's record and wins a few trophies with us, hopefully starting with the CC this year.

Levy needs to give him the tools to succeed however, so I hope if there are indeed talks about his future (contract or transfer) he stresses that point. They need to find a way to match Kane's ambitions, it's not every day you get a world class striker through your academy.

If Levy sells Kane in his prime without any tangible success then IMHO it would reflect incredibly poorly on him. Personally I think he hasn't done enough to capitalise on it (yet). Hopefully knowing the stakes will mean Levy/Lewis do what is needed to keep him. He is vital to the club and us fans.

Optimistic to say tbe least that Lewis/Levy will improve the squad with the quality needed to really challenge for silverware and to keep Kane at the club. I'm sadly resigned to Kane leaving as i have no faith in the club ownership to deliver.

No way Kane leaves this close season. He still has 3+ years on his contract (and possibly the 1 yr extension we often have in contracts) and Levy won't even answer the phone for less than £120m. I don't see anyone being able to afford him apart from the super clubs, and I can't see Levy selling to a PL rival.

 

[BringBack_leGin]

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

Funny that.

He's an Arsenal clickbait merchant, doing it for clicks these days.

Yup, he’s full of shit, he’s just seen as high brow so people believe him but he’s no more credible than the Paul Jiggins of this world.

Can’t see it, I just don’t think Manchester City will pay over double their current transfer record for a player turning 28, no matter how good he is. Would be completely inconsistent with their transfer policy since there were bought.
