Harry Kane

[Spurslove]

“He has no plans to return to training” what a ****, I don’t get it but can sort of understand missing one day as a sort of showing ‘this is what I’ll do so get me out’ but having no plans to come back, wow, fuck off Harry

If that's true and he's refusing to train with us, he should be made to sit on his arse for the remaining three years of his fucking contract. I find that absolutely unbelievable and completely unforgivable if true.

It was easier to love a 36k stadium when we were mediocre.

We are currently mediocre.

My cat is called Kane, ffs

Could be worse, 8 year old me naively named our goldfish "Sol Campbell" in March 2001

I wonder what sort of fee we would get for a one year loan abroad to one of the mega clubs?

Some of you need to have a word with yourselves. Harry Kane has remained with this Club for way longer than he should have done. He'd be staying if Levy had made the right choices over the last few years. Kane truly loved the Club and gave it his best years for a lot less money than he'd have made elsewhere. It's Levy's fault. Levy didn't get the players in when we needed them and Levy fucked up the Club's trajectory, not Kane.

I don't think that's accurate. Right up into Pochs last summer we were seen as challengers and i bet Kane thought so too, then the manager is sacked and Mou is brought in (some say Harry had some involvement in that, maybe with Kanes backing it would have been half the squad that got turfed instead of the manager) you give one of the most successful managers in history a season and a half, no great sacrifice there, and that takes us right up to now.

Prior to this nonsense most of us would have accepted Kane leaving and that NOW he had given us enough time to get somewhere. Seems like he has ballsed it up though.

To say he in any way stuck with us longer than he should have is not true in my opinion. This coming season is where it would have started to be correct. But oh dear...

 

[Hoopspur]

You're not living in the real world mate. Every player signs contracts in the knowledge that money talks. If the fee and the motivation is large enough, the player goes elsewhere and the contract means diddly squat.

And we can also blame DL then for not giving Harry the £400k per week that City will? Lack of ambition or sense? We can’t have it both ways.

 

[cjsimba]

Has he turned up to training today or no?

 

[sundanceyid10]

Well I fully disagree with that. It's an imbalanced sport and other people can and do get many other advantages and put themselves in a different space to others... but it's still a sport. You still have to win on the pitch. Still gotta do that.

Sport is a competition between people, at the highest level it is between the best, one club putting all of the best players on a team, then it isn't competitive, you have the allusion of a contest, your best shot becomes a bit of luck on the day. That is what the sporting contest is reduced to. The final last year pretty much everyone on here said are best hope was some luck on the day, now that same team that beat us are trying to take our best player by whatever means they can, using morally bankrupt rigged money to do it. Every year that passes it is more of an allusion. The sports governing body have a great deal to answer for, but then again they are probably being paid very well.

Just get another one and call it Undertaker. Only way you come out of this unscathed.

 

[KingNick]

I've seen some spectacular own goals these last few days, but this is one of the finest. Man who makes living from fans' opinions tells fans to not have opinions. (Also, the lack of self-awareness in this tweet is of legendary levels.)

We should include this leach in any deal to Man City (although suspect he'll find himself a new club anyway when he realises Spurs isn't all Champions League any more) as well as all other vloggers that clubs seem so keen to bend over for so often these days with access to games proper fans can't get into.

 

[Maxtremist]

He's given us his best over and over again and now he wants to leave because the Club has shown fuck-all ambition over the last few years. I say let him go and be gracious about it. That's the least we should do.

So we let him go for free? Less than he's worth? If City put in a bid of £150mil plus we probably say yes. But they haven't.
We probably said we'd let Kane leave if an acceptable bid came in and it would have been amicable. Acceptable bid hasn't come in though and now Kane is throwing a tantrum

 

[bat-chain]

He's given us his best over and over again and now he wants to leave because the Club has shown fuck-all ambition over the last few years. I say let him go and be gracious about it. That's the least we should do.

How does this work if no one offers close to his actual value?

If the clubs biggest fault is not showing ambition how can we let our best player go for well under his true value? What ambition is that.

I agree with this and Levy has to take the lion share for the shambles of the last few years

but equally no one forced him to sign a big contract

My issue is with the latter point that Kane got himself into this situation where if Levy disappointed and failed to deliver as he had done he would be stuck. But a contract is a contract at the end of the day

from here as a Spurs fan I want what is best for the club which is maximising his sale valueand hopefully not pissing the fee away on mediocre players

 

[oohaahedgar]

Wow I'm amazed at the views on this thread. I didn't think fans would turn on Harry so quickly. Obviously not turning up yesterday isn't great but it's his career and he's done more than enough for us to deserve a move. Of course in hindsight he shouldn't have signed that last contract but we have gone backwards quite dramatically since then.He's hardly doing a Sol Campbell and running his contract down, this way it ensures we get a proper fee for him. The way we lost Campbell set us back years, he was valued at about 20 million at the time (a fortune back then) and losing him to Arsenal for nothing in the way that it happened put us miles behind them, the swing was massive.

Personally I think the right thing to do is sell him now and use the money to rebuild. We aren't challenging for the league in the next two years and his value will go down massively. 150 million re invested is the best move I think. It's a good time to rebuild and start afresh rather than gradually deteriorate.

 

[The Scarecrow]

Excactly, it worked out beautifully with Berba, Modric, Bale.

This is ENIC's Modus operandi.

I really struggle to understand why some of our base fall for it.

Fucking hell. That's life for fans of most clubs. Look out of your ENIC OUT bubble for two seconds and you'll realise that yourself.

 

[Spurslove]

What a massive **** if true

So he's not going to turn up until we tell him to fuck off. Right.

 

[BucSpur]

My cat is called Kane, ffs

Can he spell? If not he's now called Caine. "They were only supposed to blow the bloody catflap off"

Done.

 

[chinbo99]

90% of us agree with this statement, its the WAY hes going about it! look @ grealish! he's still going to training and not acting like a dick! for 2 players who cam through the respective academies and are supposedly "supporters" i know who i believe.

This is the crux of it for me. You turn up for training but you put in an official transfer request. Keep things on the level, you might forfeit any bonuses but if its really about going for the trophies then this shouldn't matter, and I'm sure the salary at City will help! He then retains his respect with the fans, but makes it official in the right way.

Spitting your dummy out and not turning up for training is a dick move, and even if he does get his transfer, he'll now be behind with his preseason conditioning, even more so than he would have been anyway.

 

[Marty]

I don't think Kane is worth over £100 million any more. He's 28, has dodgy ankles and the world has changed a lot over the last year.

He may not be worth more to City, but he damn well is worth more to Spurs.

And that's the reason why we're at an impasse.

 

[Gbspurs]

See, I don't agree with this idea. You must understand the depth of feeling among us all at how badly and unprofessionally he's handled this by just not turning up for training and, as far as anyone knows, without a word of explanation.

Of course we're angry and we have every reason and right to be. By this one single act, his entire reputation with us has been tarnished for ever, something I for one could never have seen coming just a few days ago. So no, we're not getting 'carried away' with our reactions and let's remember that he must have known full well what those reactions were going to be like when he decided not to turn up for training.

Personally, I can't see how he can play for us ever again, but that's exactly what he wants.

.

Thing is with all the media and ITK we think we know what's going on but ultimately we don't have a clue really. Although it can be viewed as having your head in the sand I think we need to see all the facts before we completely write the guy off.
