Harry Kane

[Spurslove]

And we all remember how that story ended for Mr. Kane, don´t we? Huge mansion, all the money and status in the world - but alone, disillusioned, left by all that loved him, and desperately longing for the childhood values he sacrificed to reach the top. At the end realising that ending up in Xanadu was truly just an empty, glorified myth with no true human value.

Thanks for the spoiler alert!

How do you define legend anyway??

Kane has behaved like a total shit these last few days, but he is the second highest goalscorer in the the 139 year history of the club, and he came from our academy. Whatever has happened this week and however this plays out his name will be right there when the history of this club is being written. Which makes his behaviour this week all the more upsetting.

Absolutely. Maybe a historical equivalent would be Sir Bobby More who was desperate to leave West Ham and move to Spurs. He never got his move and their Club/fans subsequently swept the unsavoury incident under the carpet (the same carpet now surrounding their pitch ).

However, I'm sure Kane will leave whether its this month or next summer.

 

[JUSTINSIGNAL]

Exactly this! As Jamie Carragher writes in the Telegraph:
"Being a local player like Kane means you are judged to a different standard by your club’s supporters. (...) I just think you have to conduct yourself differently as a local player. You are held to a higher standard."

Harry Kane is in danger of tarnishing his reputation - and not just at Tottenham

Don’t ruin your reputation for the sake of a transfer, Harry. How you behave matters.

Totally.

I don't really get how people are comparing his transfer to other big players moving such as Bale, Modric, Berba, Carrick. This is totally different in my eyes. He's a supporter of the club, came through the academy, captained the club, and grew into a world class player during his time with us. He is more than just another player. He is supposed to be one of our own. So showing the club and fans the utmost respect should be the least he could do.

I really don't think it is all about trophies with kane. It is all about money.
Manc can double his wage to £20m pa, and who's head wouldn't be turned.
He is completely selling out to a vile institution, but no-one can argue he is selling himself cheap.

Power is being able to make one of the most humble and respected players in the game dance to their tune. Now dance like a monkey. Now smear yourself with excrement. They are laughing their heads off at the classless Brit desperate for some dangled titbit, and too stupid to understand that he already has more food than he can ever eat.

It is so humiliating, but currently the kane-puppet is still more appetising than the sophisticated guardiola, sat on a pile of severed heads.

Disagree, don’t even think it is trophies that he is wants. He wants to be in the big games and be relevant on a worldwide scale. I can’t blame him for thinking the battle for Europa and the ECL is beneath him. We have allowed ourselves to drop too far from the pinnacle of the game to expect to keep players of that calibre.

This doesn’t mean I think he has handled the situation well or that we should bend over for him and City. They need to pay his value but I think is harsh to say it is about the money, particularly when he has always had the ability to earn more elsewhere.

The Kane camp should´ve taken this route:

"Romelu Lukaku will agree to make a big-money return to Chelsea if the European champions decide to pay a big-money fee to Inter Milan."

Meet my club´s valuation of me - show me that you want me. I´m not a player you can pick up at a garage sale for a bargain price; I´m Harry F**kin´ Kane, England captain, multiple golden boot winner and the PL´s best goal scorer. If you don´t value me - I don´t want to hear more from you.

Show some self respect, Harry!

The song should just go straight to Skipp now.

Thanks for that but for some reason I've now got Skippy The Bush Kangaroo stuck in my head ?

Would be great news if Chavs set a benchmark at 130m for Lukaku.

Chelsea are driving up Tottenham’s asking price for Harry Kane

Chelsea and Tottenham are fierce rivals on the pitch, but the Blues have actually done Spurs a massive favor relating to Harry Kane's transfer value.

We can assume that Kane said he wanted to leave last summer and was given some kind assurance. So he already wasn't that happy to be at Spurs last season. He still bagged the golden boot and top assists though.

If he stays another year, of course there will be a period in which he sulks and is below par, but he is always crap in August anyway and takes for ever to get going. I don't see it being a big issue, and am certain he will buckle down and deliver once the season is really up and running. The World Cup and personal accolades are too important for him to piss away a season.

He will also be all the more determined to leave next summer and isn't going to want to make that harder because his level drops.

Again, we've gone past discussing what he wants or doesn't want. It's all irrelevant. Whoever wants to buy him has got to come up with the cash to do so, and if they can't or won't, he stays here.

The world truly has gone mad
Lukaku isn't worth that- but it helps us in our position for HK- then all is good

 

[loz123]

Where did you get those stats from?

Griezmann was €120m, Ronny went for £105m not long ago to Juve, and Hazard was over £100m.

Wasn't Coutinho around £130m?

Absolutely, but my post has nothing to do with what he wants or whether that faciliates a move, my point was simply if he stays, which looks more and more likely, I think he will settle down and stay professional. He did last year when it looks like he already wanted out.

If ManU – who lets be honest, have less chance of winning trophies than City – offered him more wages than City, he would be off to them. They can disguise it as much as they want, and it sounds a lot better to say you're leaving to win things than to say you want more money. But at the end of the day... it's about wages. We were told when we reached the pinnacle, the CL, we would attract the very best... we didn't, we couldn't pay the wages of some teams. Likewise, when Chelsea and United etc failed to qualify for the CL, they still a got players that were 'ambitious', because they paid the wages. It's BS to suggest otherwise.

With bonuses I think. One of them was probably "if he's not shit", which mustn't've been met.

 

[mil1lion]

Only thing Kane can do now is get back to training, make the bench against City, come on and score the winner, run over and DX crotch chop at Pep.

Barcelona were obviously run by morons at the time but I thought they were really stupid not to move for Eriksen at that time. Thankfully they didn't.

Can I be the annoying dipstick to ask if there have been any significant updates? Have read newsnow and scanned through the ITK here and can’t see much other than Jack G. looking close to a City move and the possibility of this impacting on HK moving. Is that about it? A free friendly rating for any help

Wow. What a burn!

No significant updates

Sadly that would instigate the Kane to West Ham rumours as Trips is a (sledge)hammer.
