Harry Kane

[Darth Vega]

According to this. We made £90m by getting to the CL

Tottenham's Champions League prize money as Daniel Levy sees revenue drop

Jose Mourinho's side weren't able to advance to the latter stages of the competition following a 4-0 defeat on aggregate against RB Leipzig in the Round of 16

But people think we’d be willing to park with Kane for circa £80m.

I’d suggest we have a significantly better chance of qualifying for CL next year with Kane in the team and therefore the potential windfalls that come the following season.

Therefore, I’d rather have him next season and bank on top 5 and then he either goes on a free or (please god) signs a new contract

The £90m was because we made it to the final. That article states that when we made the round of 16 the year after the final we only got £61m, so presumably we made something similar this year too.

It's crazy to me that so many people would rather see us weakened by selling our best player for 80m so that "we could get something for him". What's the point of supporting a team? Spurs make enough money that Kane leaving for free wouldn't be the end of the world financially.

I would be unbelievably disappointed if we sold him and didn't take one last crack at winning a cup with him in the team. He deserves to win a trophy with Spurs. If this is the last hurrah, so be it.

But I'd much rather have a go at winning something than have 80m to spend on a replacement.

For my own sanity can someone please link me to somewhere which confirms this is 100% the case. I don't think I've heard about it anywhere officially and the media are still referring to "top 4" for Champions League.

Keeps being mentioned on here but the only sources I can find online are rags saying it could happen.

You are correct. I stand corrected. I assumed new rules gets applied as per this season...
Its going to be based on next season...

Rules by which 5th place will also get CL spot is:

1) If in 2023/24 PL season, say , City again does a double, winning PL title and winning CL - then 2024/25 season 5th in 2023/24 PL table gets CL qualification

2) If in 2023/24 CL season, 2 countries most successful gets 1 spot each. UEFA will calculate successful countries as number of points earned in CL 2023/24 (including groups & knockouts)/ number of clubs from the country that entered CL.... Two top countries will get a point...Lets say next CL season - City, United, Newcastle, Arsenal do very well in groups & K/Os scoring lots of points and go deep into tournament...and if England is in top2 of that calculation, then additional spot is given

Ofcourse, team that wins EL also qualifies for CL.

So, in coming years, theres a possibility from 4 to 7 teams that can qualify from PL, depending English team performances in previous year

£90m is chicken feed in comparison with our total matchday revenue for an entire season.

There’s no reason why we can’t pay top prices for top players, including paying Harry Kane what he’s worth.

So sell for £80m now and let’s say miss out on CL and £61m the season after…so we’d be net up by £19m, or half a Porro….still a keep for me

For me its not about the 80m. Couldnt care less. I care about where he will play if he goes on free. He could walk into United or Chelsea next season and then make the next 5 years miserable for us.

 

[SpringHeeledJim]

i think alot of us are praying that if we sell him this summer it will significantly reduce the likelyhood of him ever playing for another PL team. ie; he does a couple of years at Bayern and then finishes his career back with us (that's my hope anyway)

The money aspect is secondary

 

[thelak]

My heart says no but it makes so much sense to take in around £90million

As has been said Enic have plenty of money given the chronic underinvestment

the extra £90m really isn’t going to get us any closer to winning anything

as a spurs fan we will never see the likes of Kane again once he is gone under this ownership

and it’s an owner that clearly doesn’t really care or want to spend what it’s takes to win given the competition in.

So personally think we might as well have another season with someone that regardless of whether he wins a trophy will go down as an all timer

don’t get why he wouldn’t go to Bayern next year if they want him that much and he is keen

Yeah, I think most people would rather he signed a new contract and stayed here. He's a club legend.

But, currently, that feels highly unlikely, so the next best option might be a sale abroad... rather than a potential free transfer to a PL team...

We would not be paying enough money to bring back a 32+ year old to persuade Munich to sell him back to us. Man Utd and some others probably would.

I'd argue this is optimistic and naive. If he wins a title at Bayern next season, and United gets bought by Qataris who decide they want the best English player at Old Trafford, or City decide they want him to replace Haaland if he goes to Madrid, you think he's going to come back to Spurs? It's inevitable, if he leaves, he's not coming back.

I don't think Munich would sell after only 2 seasons unless he's somehow a massive flop which, barring injury, is deeply unlikely. They repeatedly refused to sell Lewandowski until he only had 1 year left on his contract and they had no choice.

If he goes there I think he stays for a good few years. Probably returns to the PL in ~4 years and then spends the rest of his career hunting down Shearer's record like a demented old hound dog at whichever club will take him.

 

[EastUpperDK82]

Paul Merson talking sense again. What's happening to him ??

"He scored 30 league goals last season for Tottenham. And who's playing with him at Spurs? He has to do it all himself virtually. If he stays at Spurs next season with James Maddison now there, I dread to think how many goals he will get."

"I cannot for the life of me see Kane join Bayern Munich. Why would you get to within 47 goals of Alan Shearer's Premier League scoring record and then go to Bayern to help them win the Bundesliga for the 97th time on the trot? Why would you go? What for?"

 

[rightwayup]

I am really on the fence with this one as I really hope we could get him to stay, but one thing that concerns me is that if we keep him for a season and let him go on a free, do we see the best of him. He has the Euros and a lucrative contract on a free to sign, how committed can we expect him to be after January.

 

[zicomerc]

Off topic I know but If Kane does go, and Lloris too, who will be our club captain? I've not seen this discussed on the forum.

It's a major concern as we lack leaders, and we are also trying to offload Hjojberg.

Will we go for Son as he's the most experienced? Would it be someone like Romero who maybe being captain might make him more responsible? Or will it be someone else?

 

[septicsac]

If a bid of the required amount comes in and Kane is up for the move, then it's sign a new contract time or bye bye time, presuming that move is abroad, cannot see Levy selling to another premiership team.

I never understand this questioning of his commitment. Bar the Florida Man escapade alone, he's been a model professional for literally his entire career since he was a child.

 

[Hotspur88]

Blows my mind if as Herc suggested we sell and he actually moves his family to Germany and potentially sacrifices the chance to be the all-time PL goalscorer

 

[chelmyid]

I don't see this being at all a distraction this season. Do players really lose focus because a player might leave in the summer? I always found the obsession over it strange with Conte too. The players just focus on the season they're currently playing and not what may or may not happen the following season. It's more the fans who bang on about it and the media than anything the players pay attention too.

Not sure I agree with this

assuming you’ve played team sports? The best teams are those of unity and spirit - a bond - whatever the level or standard - 99% of the times winning teams are always together.
I just don’t see a positive if all season (and make no mistake it will be constant all season) Kane leaving is being talked about constantly. It will overshadow and being a cloud over the whole club.
I just don’t think it can be a positive

am I saying I want Kane to leave - absolutely not, but if he’s off next season for free then do the benefits of having him for one more season really outweigh the negatives it will bring - I’m really not sure they will?

joking (mostly),,,but the last time he really wanted a move, you mean
