Harry Kane

[SpursForever71]

But a system can. One that makes us better than the sum of our parts. Which is what Poch did with us. And what made it so great.

That’s where I’m at.

yeah but Poch had Kane lol. but i agree, at the end of the day it is a team sport. Helps if you have a prolific goal scorer though

I hope we kept an eye on those ducks we lined up

I really don't think this is the end of the world mate, completely 100% get you and others frustration and sentiment and it is shit seeing Kane go because of the poor decisions that led to this but this summer and with the appointment of Ange and more recently with Paratici's recruitment we have got a lot right.

Perhaps this is the final part of the what has been excruciatingly painful rebuild and now we can move on to an entirely new and fairly exciting chapter under Ange.

I think we are 4 signings (CB,CM,RW,ST) away from giving Ange possibly the strongest all-round squad we've had in the PL in terms of strength in depth and I'd like to hope with the Kane money we will get at least 3 of these as per a lot of ITK and reports with regards to Kane sale plans.

I think lessons have been learnt by Levy and co as to why we have basically failed Kane but we are making the most of the situation right now and I do really think we can come out stronger in a different way now.

Its sickening seeing Kane leave and people are rightfully emotional and upset right now but this is not me just being positive for positives sake, I genuinely think we will be ok and am still very excited about an entirely new chapter under Ange post-Kane.

well said

Lost a little bit of love for football tonight. If the 9th richest club in the world can't keep its world beating local lad then what's the point?

Paying over a grand to watch 11 millionaires from all over the world kick a ball about was much more palatable when the main man was a guy from up the road.

Soulless now just like the rest of this league.

To be fair you're not wrong there, football lost it soul a good few years ago I'm afraid mate.

Hopefully you can still find some joy in what is now a different football product but 100% get your sentiment here.

Lets hope he comes back one day to break Shearer's record or he fails his medical haha.

 

[Steffen]

Will pain my heart to see those shits get Kane. They deserve only mercenaries and bad players.

I’d disagree mate: I think we’re about to have more of a soul than we’ve had in years. Yeah it’s nice to have homegrown but he doesn’t want to be here: a smiley lad from Korea and a big boss from Australia do. Let’s see what happens.

We only lost him because he/we let his contract run down.

 

[Ghost Hardware]

We have 86 million in the bank from this sale. There is zero reason for Levy to be out there negotiating installment payments and haggling over finer details. Big clubs who have just lost a key player take that money and go splash the cash on top players and are decisive.

I am very curious to see what we do next tbh, who exactly is part of “operation Kane”. I do hope we move swiftly and have clear targets. Fact is every club we approach will know we are flush so doing the Levy song and dance won’t work.

Does it really matter. When’s the next time we have a world class player platting for us? Fucking light years away.

 

[Guntz]

Surely the club will need to make a statement signing now?

You can’t sell our best ever player 2 days before the season starts and replace him with a few youth prospects.

Levy isn’t that stupid….?….right?

 

[SpartanSpur]

I’m genuinely curious to see how Levy and the club spin this. So far I haven’t seen one attacking link that even remotely makes up for loosing quite possibly the greatest player this club has ever seen and the current best striker in the world.

Yeah this is the thing.

People were concerned about the Kane circus disrupting the team but I'm concerned that the fans anger at the board will undermine what Ange is trying to do.

Overall I'm happy with our targets this summer in terms of completing our squad but none of them feel an adequate use of the funds from selling an elite player.

 

[Johnny J]

Well, I guess we'll activate the Knightfall Protocol Project Kane, whatever that is. Let's hope it's good.

 

[davidclarke]

I guess the good news is that we won't have to see him every week when he goes.

He'll be banging in goals that no one in England will see.

He'll be wearing a pair of Skechers that no one will buy.

He'll lift the trophy that Hojberg already won 4 times with Bayern, and he'll likely go out in the round of 16 of the Champions League.

He'll just be another goal scorer not named Alan Shearer, remembered along with other good goal scorers on the list like Jermaine Defoe.

He'll probably be in Augsburg in front of 20k people when his kid is born in London.

He'll never hear "He's One of Our Own Again."

Should pin this somewhere

 

[THOWIG]

We’ve got the best manager in charge at this moment in time. Imagine the toxicity if Conte was still here.

 

[Cornpattbuck]

Absolutely devastated. We’re all soon going to find out how much we took Kane for granted.

I don't think any of us took Kane for granted. England fans maybe. But I can't think of any Spurs fans who'll be pleased to see him leave. But we have to move forward and hopefully Levy and friends sort their shit out.

 

[Dougal]

Six signings and two or three more to come in, plus a new manager, should in any fans opinion suggest a rebuild.

I said earlier that we will never replace Kane, but can now afford to replace that defence and other areas that need strengthening.

Glass half full sort of observation.

The magic word is ‘suggest’. My whole Spurs-supporting experience has been watered down over the years. I was priced out of tickets, kicked out of my spiritual home, had my heroes auctioned off and replaced with inferior product, my occasional and frankly low appetite for silverware was starved. But yeah, we’re building. But what are we building? It’s not a football club in the traditional sense, where the supporters mean something. We’re building a wallet-emptying on demand entertainment centre where you spend money in the hope of feeling something because your soul has been sucked out and dumped.

Glass half empty sort of observation.

 

[THFCSPURS19]

The funniest thing for me is that we sell him in the window we sign Maddison.

 

[Timberwolf]

If Kane is going as it appears, no anger should be directed at him IMO. He’s the best striker in the world and he’s stayed loyal and professional (bar some press antics the Man City summer) while we’ve had multiple horrible seasons of horrible football. And he’s going to a foreign club and avoiding a rival.

The blame isn’t with him, it’s on bad decisions made by the club starting with the sale of Walker and transferless summer many years ago.

Yup. Minimal, half-hearted investment from a position of strength and complacency that Poch could work miracles on a shoestring until the end of time...that's the root cause of this.

Then since Poch left it's been trying to mask the limited nature of the squad with blockbuster managers without acknowledging the real heart of the problem - lack of investment and a blinkered vision.

Levy did well to pin down Kane to a 6 year deal but the chaotic 4 years after that (and the lack of signings preceding it) are the real reason we're in this mess.

We're heading in a much better direction now but we pissed away what was a fantastic position 5-6 years ago.

This.

All he's guilty of is doing us a solid and going abroad with us getting good money in. He EASILY could have gone to any club in the world next summer for free and very likely a rival PL team.

The man is 30 years old and want's to win some shit before he retires, rather he does it in the German League than the PL..
