Harry Kane

[Trent Crimm]

I would hope so, but there more to making a massive transfer work than having a lawyer check the contracts is legit.

I’m aware.

Or isit Tottenhams job to find a way to make him effective in the big games? Lets not kid ourselves he has scored big goals in big games. The problem is in a one off game (Final) most opposing teams already know that if they can stop Kane touching the ball, they are more likely to beat us. We need to either work tactically to open players like him up in them situations or frankly refresh the team with some quality. This way when Kane is marked or nullified we have another outlet to fall back on. Just my opinion.

Yes you are right, although England had the same problem against the best team we played and there were players to back him up. I love Harry Kane, he's one of our own after all, but he signed a contract and is only half way through it - it grates with me, sorry - and the club kept him to help win trophies.

The telltale sign is that Kane is literally his only client. He's riding on Harry's coat-tails and making some easy money (and who can blame him - I'm sure Harry's happy to help him out) but the lad must have bugger all contacts and experience if his only client is his brother.

Tbf to his brother, he’s Spurs through and through, he used to drink in the Bill Nick most weeks, on match days, hes no football agent, Harry’s giving him a few quid and give him a job

If you come from a family that is tight-knit and supports each other, why wouldn't you want them in your corner advocating for you? If put in Harry's situation I'd do exactly the same.

Reminds me of Entourage and Vincent Chase.

In my circle, we refer to his brother as Charlie Drama.

I’d also like to think I’d do the same. And it really is unbelievable when you actually think about it.
Englands biggest star and he really is:
one of your own,
one of us,
one of the lads,
down to earth,
all of that and much more.

All these other pop stars have there entourage trailing them around. But no, not our Harry,
he’s brought his brother to the party. To let him kop a few quid.
Won’t go to much into his brothers knowledge as an agent. At the end of the day, he’s probably spent the last year and a bit or more studying and qualifying to be an agent. But until then, He’s an out and out YID, lovely lad, and probably with less brains than his brother.??.
Getting amongst all the fans and celebrating his brother’s glory, as if he was anyone, infact a little shy, and a little timid in fact.

It seems Harry is more worried about the jokes and memes than actually winning things with/for the team he "loves"
Who cares if people were putting on social media "yeah you've scored X goals but 0 trophies."

How much more meaningful would it be to pick up Spurs first title in god knows how many years as talisman/captain than Citeh's umpteenth title in as many years?

And imagine the ignominy of moving to a "bigger more ambitious" club and not winning anything there either... Can you handle those jokes Harry?

True but he has always said he’s happy at Spurs if we are on the right track to winning things and to be fair on the evidence of the last 2 seasons and the mess the squad is in we are not.

Paratici and NES and some smart ins and outs may change the direction of the Spurs ship to a more positive one but Kane may just feel he’s 28 now so he has to weigh up stay at Spurs his whole career and probably win nothing or make a big move now before it’s too late, only normal he’s strongly considering it given all the circumstances.

 

[fishhhandaricecake]

Firstly, we weren't "about to move into our new £1B stadium" during those "2 transfer windows!!!" (or 27, depending on whose maths is used) - that was the season when the stadium was delayed due to the electrics being done badly, which represented a financial risk - but it's been made clear several times over from ITK that there were other reasons why that happened, yet it still falls on deaf ears.

More importantly, why not reference what happened after we moved into the new stadium? Because it doesn't suit the confirmation bias?

I don't think our problems have been so much about how much we spend, it's just how we do it. In recent years, NDombele and GLC are a pair of midfielders that cost well over £100m, but have offered nothing in proportion to that value. Arguable, Hojbjerg (at near 10-15% of that) has eclipsed their contributions so far.

Very true. This is why I’m excited by Paratici and more of these smart small to mid size or loan deals as when we’ve gone big we’ve tended to get it wrong but Paratici will really help us be much more efficient and effective in the tw.

I wonder however if Kane’s mind was already made up before the Euros that he wants to push for a move to city this summer.

I totally understand that he probably wants that big move to win things. But if he had really wanted to keep his options open, he could have chosen not to extend his contract. Signing a long term deal with a massive payrise, and then hoping to still get a move (at whatever price that his suitors are willing to pay) is basically wanting to eat the cake and still have it.

Because there are any of number of quite complex contractual bells and whistles that can be used to move millions between club and player. If you don’t know all the tricks of the trade, you leave money on the table.
Happens time and again to people who are poorly advised in big money situations. And no, having a good lawyer isn’t the same as a savvy adviser.

Of course, that is why you'd also have a qualified agent, lawyer, etc, but you'd also have a family member who is willing to learn sat at that table/meeting who can advocate on your behalf. Obviously, every family dynamic is different.

Transfer ban incoming for City ? Chance of Kane staying hopefully....

if they were smart they should have got Raiola or one of the other bigger agents to just conduct this move on their behalf

Brilliant. I’ve been waiting for the PL investigation into their ffp dealings come out ever since they got off of the UEFA ones because of the time limit. There is no time limit for the PL rules.

This could be the biggest news of the window if the PL punish them. Trouble is, we know how the PL love money over scandal.

They’ll do nothing. It’s not in their interest to punish city

Every other club in the league will lobby for them to get punished. A lot of politics at play, don't be so sure that City will get off free.

 

[paulbag]

Maybe Pep knew this was coming after all and it was we cant afford to buy players at these prices but its really more we could be in FFP trouble

 

[JeremyPaxton]

I doubt they have the self-awareness to realise they haven’t got the same abilities that a super agent has. One of the main issues with people who are badly advised, is that they don’t realise they are badly advised (at least until it’s far too late). Just ask Rabiot about his mum.

Didn't Chelsea get a ban though? Barca had a ban too. I wouldn't at all be surprised if City do. These clubs seem to be able to take the punishment and still come out OK at the end.

Trouble is, can you see the football gods giving Man City a transfer ban so it helps us keep Harry Kane?

Is that how it rolls being a spurs fan? ?
