As if there are people talking about being worried about next summer. Just focus on one season at a time. It was the same under Conte.DDoes my head in Reading g about "oh but next summer" etc.
Yeah I keep hearing the phrase 'kicking the can down the road', but to me its a choice of being shitter now, or maybe being shitter in a years time.
Kick the fucking can Levy.

I mean it more in the sense that they use it as a genuine reason as to why they’d prefer us to sell HK now.

Of course it’s an opinion. I just can’t get my head around that mentality.
The fact you would wish away a world class player and not enjoy his talents for another season just because he could join Utd or someone else in year.

To be honest, I see it from both sides. I think we are, without a doubt, better with Kane. But Kane hasn't been a game-changer during the last four seasons, so that makes me more relaxed about losing him now.

I just personally don't have the feeling that even though following Tottenham has been pretty crap over the last four years, Kane has made it all worth it. So I don't feel hugely emotionally invested in keeping him, and maybe that means I look at it from a slight distance compared to other people.

Finally over now. Well until next summer
Wow. Got to be honest, I am pretty surprised. Didn't think it would end like this.

Now we just need to make it impossible for him to leave, by basically being as brilliant as possible and laying on loads of chances for the guy to fill his boots.

This place really does attract a very high number of people who worry about the future and things that are far from certain to happen. It must be a very tiring way to live rather than just enjoying the here and now and seeing how things develop.
Yeah, imagine thinking about the future and posting said thoughts on a football forum. Crazy huh.

Lets be honest with your wording. Swap out “could” with “likely” and it changes your post a lot. The arguments have been done to death but if you can’t see why preferring £100 mil and him going abroad now to having nothing and him going to a rival then what more is there to say. And that’s before you consider the fact that keeping Kane probably won’t have too much baring in our league position. We might finish a couple of places higher but enough to convince him to sign a new deal? Unlikely imo.

It's concerning, but out of my control. I don't worry about these things.

My primary desire is just to go to games and enjoy the football, win or lose.

I'm going to enjoy the shit out of kane still being with us. I'm also going to really enjoy the bayern meltdown. Entitled pricks.

I personally think it’s good the best player in the league will still be playing here next season.
It's amazing how many folks persuade themselves that we'd be better off without the league's best player. And "one of our own" to boot. It's like half the fans don't bother watching the footy, focused only on the papers, social media, banter, and 'financials'.

Hasn’t been a game changer? It’s a strange phrase to use but no one player can elevate a mess into a trophy winning machine. He certainly changed a lot of games - where do you think we would have finished without him?

Yeah let’s just add a word that suits your narrative but doesn’t actually have any basis in fact. That’s really “honest”
