Harry Kane

[Lukasz]

From hero to zero. F*** off. Hopefully this one will end rather sooner than later.

 

[Norgie]

Am I the only one worried about incomings now? It doesn't look good your star player is pushing his way out, I'd imagine some of the possible incomings will start to question what they are about to do.

 

[GMI]

Another England international showing Kane the meaning of class and professionalism.

I think the last sentence about Rice continuing to give his all is also a cheeky dig at Kane. I don't think the media, or at least certain parts of it, are too enamoured with Harry.

 

[freeeki]

At this point the club should suspend him.

The down side being, that strengthens City’s hand in negotiations.

But they should do it regardless. No other player would be allowed to act this way.

 

[Indisguise]

The club, and by some extension ENIC, gave Kane the best stadium in Europe to ply his trade in, the best training facilities in the world to hone his craft, made him our highest paid player ever by some margin. It tried to hire Mourinho to deliver trophies, making him the third highest paid manager in the world. They signed Ndombele, Sanchez, Lo Celso, and other expensive players like Bergwijn, Lucas, Aurier, Reguilon, Sessegnon and Son - trying to build a team that could compete, and for a few years we did. It fell apart somewhat last few seasons, but I don't believe the club haven't tried to meet Harry's ambitions.

We got to the biggest final in club football and he forced his way onto the pitch half-fit and hampered our only chance of ever winning it - the club/Poch gave him that chance, even though we got to the final without him. We got to the league cup final and he touched the ball about three times - other semi finals he never ever turned up, he is never there when it comes to crunch time. Zagreb - anonymous. He's had numerous chances to win trophies with us, and as our talisman and striker - he personally has faltered just as much as the club.

Some of you are so toxic about the club, you would rather slander it instead of the guy basically going on strike to engineer a cheap move to a domestic rival. Not Real Madrid like Bale, he wants to force a move to a financially doped artificial club - massively weakening us in the process and happy to ensure we're not fairly compensated for the massive amount of resources we've piled into his development and maintenance.

This makes it sounds like Levy and ENIC built a stadium for the love of Spurs and to showcase Harry's talents. That is so wrong. They built a Club to make money. Harry was just one of the larger cogs in the machine.

 

[Dougal]

Rake it in, you're saying, as if the cash is going into Levy's pocket. The only reason we're in this situation in the first place, is that Levy doesn't want to sell him.

No, the transfer fee doesn’t go into his pocket. But the salary he justifies himself with is based on getting deals like this done. Raking it in.

 

[yojambo]

How do player fines work? I saw yesterday they were going to fine him 2 weeks wages for not turning up. So would that be 2 weeks for every day he doesn't show or is it classed as one incident?

 

[Aleks]

Fine him 2 weeks wages every day he misses training

 

[panoma]

He absolutely nailed it. I hope Harry sees this one bit.

 

[degoose]

Well well well if this is all true then Kane has tarnished all his good work and play he has done over the years.

Now if and a big if, this is straight up Kane is refusing to train. I'd fine him any wages he had coming as he is not training or going to play, then start to bring in some extra players and plan without him and just void him out of the squad. The whole transfer stuff can then rumble on in the background and if city don't pay up then he will have to lump it and either start to train and play to get money or get no cash if he refuses.

It's a sad situation but this is all of Kane's doing.

 

[Flashp]

It simply was not the case in the early days of the new stadium talk. Fans were against tearing down our home. It’s a far more modern idea to accept something like this. But fans now accept a lot more in search of the next new shiny thing.

I can't really find anything to back up your point of view, and I still think most level headed fans agreed that we needed a new stadium to push on.

Since it's the HK thread, I'll leave it here though.

 

[Marty]

I disagree when you say Harry hasn't damaged the club, but you're bang on, the architect of all this is, once again, walking through a field filled to the brim with cowpats and will reach the other side with shiny shoes. Again. It's weird. Maybe people are too focussed on slagging Kane to bother with him for now, I dunno.

I'm not slagging off Kane's desire to leave because we've regressed. That is all totally understandable.

I'm slagging off Kane's behaviour and unprofessionalism. Declan Rice returns to training despite turning down contract offers and publicly wanting to leave, Jack Grealish is training as per normal. Kane's throwing his toys out of the pram and this kind of behaviour is uncalled for.

won't have much impact imo, just look at 2013

This 100%….I’m really shocked he’s chosen this route…he was on track to be the clubs highest scorer and legend and he’s now on the fast track to never being welcome at our club again….what a state of affairs. If that’s how he wants to play it then fine….but we must rinse city for every last penny…and then some more…we owe him nothing now.

I think the last sentence is also a cheeky dig at Kane. I don't think the media, or at least certain parts of it, aren't too enamoured with Harry.

Matt Law has never missed an opportunity to speak ill of someone associated with Spurs, but this time he has good reason to.

 

[Ashley1974]

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.

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.

Hey mate, you can stop trolling now

Yep, thrown it all away to win empty titles at oil pumped cheating Man City. Absolutely mental. It really is bizarre.

 

[hellava_tough]

Trying to force the club's hand when the likes of Uncle Joe and Levy run it?

Not too clever, are you Harry?

Did he actually think this was going to work, especially with 3 years left on his contract?

 

[sausage]

People blaming the club will be doing so under the misguided assumption that Harry would be happy to stay if we'd won a League Cup (that City have absolutely dominated for years now) or the CL final, or stayed in the CL places.

It's anything but assured. Poch flat out said he'd have left it we did. Kane would probably have seen it as 'can do no more'.

If you're essentially blaming the club because you think it was entirely possible for us to be in City's shoes right now, as the clear dominant team in the league, that's just absolutely bonkers.

 

[wrd]

We'll be able to afford Vlahovic if we keep adding up a fine of 2 weeks wages per day he misses training.
