Harry Kane

[Dougal]

The timing is so bad. We've just had one of our best performances of the season. We should be saying that we're only a few points off 4th despite many Jose disasters, looking to get into the Europa and then get back to challenging for the title with a couple of signings next season. Instead we're stuck with this nonsense...

Timing is perfect. Levy has 10,000 Spurs fans showing up looking for answers in less than 48 hours. The weekend’s protest will look like a crazy man shouting at himself in the street by comparison.

But dele alli touched his cap when he was asked "touch your cap if harry kane is staying."

 

[ohtottenham!]

I am saying the words that I wrote.

...ok. I actually read those.

 

[Montalbano]

Anyone who wants to see Kane at United or City “because he deserves it” is fucking weird.

If he plays for any other English club I’ll be rooting for him to never win a trophy in his career.

I'd probably like Levy gone from the football side of things, but I honestly don't know what he should do here. It's probably worth the risk to piss Kane off by outright saying no, investing as much as we can possibly afford to strengthen the team this summer, and hope that we improve enough for him to sign a new deal next summer in the knowledge that if he doesn't his value is unlikely to have declined much. But certainly not a situation with an obvious answer for everyone to push for.

There is no way Kane leaves this summer unless a foreign club offer £150M+. And they won’t.

We might be forced to sell him next summer if he still wants out, but a full year of the stadium being full and we’ll be in a stronger position to get the price we have want and other clubs will be better placed to pay it.

Today only PSG, Chelsea and Man City could afford him.

Eric Dier in on his ankles Chelsea style in minute one. Just to take him out of the games v us.

 

[fishhhandaricecake]

Nah that does sound about where it would end up.

Yep could easily be £90m + add ons in this market at his age.

I’d like to think we’d demand £120-150m but in this market you just don’t know.

 

[ultimateloner]

The more i think about it, the more i think that, if it's ineviable that we sell Kane, then the sooner the better. This is of course provided that we get a good enough price (which the contract length helps)
Reasons:

1) Risk of injury given Euro cup; this has been a long season
2) Covid-related economic risk; we might see a big slump soon
3) We are likely to be out of Europe next season so expectations will be lower; we might actually be able to give more game time to young players.

 

[thebenjamin]

Yeah it's very unlucky for us that both Real and Barca are borderline bankrupt. If he was sold to Barca for £150M I woudn't be that bothered. But it's only oligarch / nation state clubs that can afford him realistically.

Or score another goal

Nope!

Agree. In the past I accepted seeing the likes of Sheringham, Berbatov and Carrick playing for other English clubs and had no problem with their success.

But seeing Kane winning with another English club will be very hard to bear.

 

[penfold_99]

The timing seems clinical wuth Kane lighting a fire under Levy's arse to finally start that rebuild??

It sounds like levy persuaded Kane to stay last year with a bunch of promises that didn't get fulfilled so Kane has turned the table and said I'm gone unless you actually deliver something.

This plus the fans protesting could turn the screws and open Levy's wallet.

 

[St José Dominguez]

We haven’t replaced Modric yet, dread to think how long it would take to replace Kane. Never again will I see a striker of his level playing for Tottenham and it’s quite frankly pathetic that the owners and recruitment staff couldn’t build a side around him to win one single trophy. Might as well just sell him now rather than delaying the inevitable. His sale will be the symbol of Enics attitude to on the pitch progression. We’re going backwards.

I'd probably like Levy gone from the football side of things, but I honestly don't know what he should do here. It's probably worth the risk to piss Kane off by outright saying no, investing as much as we can possibly afford to strengthen the team this summer, and hope that we improve enough for him to sign a new deal next summer in the knowledge that if he doesn't his value is unlikely to have declined much. But certainly not a situation with an obvious answer for everyone to push for.

I imagine what could happen is we spend the 'Kane' money now in the hope of winning stuff this coming season. If we fail then Kane goes and we break even potentially or recoup the majority of the spend and if we do succeed Kane stays and we make money from the CL etc.

All he has to do is make the football side the priority. We hear how much careful consideration he put into every last detail of the ground. No expense spared to get the finest materials. We could use some of that focus on the actual things that matter.

 

[SPURSLIFE]

Does anyone think utd have the money to buy him. They couldn't buy Sancho

Only because they wanted £110 mil and Utd only offered £80. So I think they have the money for the right player and Kane fits their profile more so than any other PL club. If he's going and like most I hope he isn't I would prefer it was abroad but with a young family it seems he wants to stay in England. Before Covid he was a 200 mil player but now nobody will spend that kind of money and the value has probably dropped by half.

This would be my approach. Talk of him going to Man Utd are an insult. A couple of good signings and the right manager and we’ve got as much chance as them as winning anything next season.

Levy knows that and when revenue starts rolling again next season, clubs will be able to afford it. He isnt going to take a hit now.
