Harry Kane

[Styopa]

If it makes you feel better - great. But Kane has been wanting to leave Spurs since 2021.

He wasn't interested in helping Spurs win a trophy, he was concerned he could not win a trophy.

If he wanted to "help" Spurs - he could have stayed last summer... and the only difference in squad would be Kane instead of Johnson. I'd like our chance to win something if that were the case. Certainly a better chance than Bayern have right now...

Yeah. This is purely conjecture but from the outside it looked like he left Spurs at the first realistic opportunity, when we accepted an offer because we knew he wasn’t going to sign a new contract. If we hadn’t accepted the Bayern offer he probably would have done the same Campbell did, and walked on a free, albeit not to Arsenal.

He also would have gladly left a couple years earlier, judging by his behaviour that summer.

TBH I just care more about what happens to us than I do them. Always have.

What's best for us is always first priority.
Then what's worst for Arsenal.

 

[spurs mental]

as bad as the weird cult-like fans who are bitter with someone who left Tottenham not on their terms?

 

[spursgirls]

The translation is incorrect so say a lot of native German speakers.

I got my German SIL to check this and he said that it's not that Tuchel is unhappy with how Harry isn't doing on the pitch what he's doing in training, it's the team and manager as a unit are not happy with how their work in training isn’t translating to what is on the pitch.

Yeah, I don't really like this attitude that one of the top 5 leagues in Europe is "for farmers."

I find the arrogance pretty distasteful.

Bayern won it 12 or so years in a row. Pretty much the definition of a one team league.

I think there’s two types of people finding it funny.

There’s the people who find it funny in an ironic way. As in, there’s something very Spurs-like about Kane, the club’s talisman, joining a club where he’s almost guaranteed to win his first ever trophy, and not winning that trophy, for now at least. That’s kind of funny in the “typical Spurs” kind of way. Like even when Kane, the quintessential Spurs boy, leaves the club, he still can’t win a trophy.

Then there are the people who are finding it funny because they still resent him going there and think the move has somehow backfired.

I think the first type isn’t bitter. It’s a bit similar to how I can look back on Chelsea winning the Champions League and us missing out on qualification that season. I can see the funny side of that now in a “typical” Spurs way.

The second type is a bit bitter, but that’s just football for you I suppose.

I doubt we have many fans that's bitter at Kane and don't wish him sucess.The man carried us for a decade.

But it's certainly something humorous about him leaving Spurs and Bayern drawing a blank.

Time to come home, Harry.

One team league and league for farmers have completely different definitions.

It’s a league for young farmers.

(and it is certainly a step down, as a league, from the EPL)

A one team league doesn't make it a "farmers league" though, just boring.
There are quality players, teams and stadiums in Germany, it's just dominated by Bayern because they all seem to bend over to them when it comes to selling players.

For me, a farmers league is full of cloggers, playing on shit pitches in shit stadiums. It's disrespectful to call the German league that.

The Saudi league could probably be described as a farmers league because although they've spent a fortune to bring "star" players in, the majority are still shit, playing on duff pitches in empty stadiums.

A step down from the EPL is only a league for farmers in the eyes of the most arrogant of people.

They have numerous good teams with European trophy winners. We have just loaned an international striker from a team because he can't get in theirs.

 

[Bluto Blutarsky]

in the eyes of the most arrogant of people.

Have you met me?

My arrogance aside, top to bottom, the league has loads of inferior players, just because you can point to Werner does not support your position that random Bundesliga players can walk into PL teams. Some can make it here, most do not.

It is primarily a development league, plus Bayern.

Very unnecessarily dismissive of the likes of Dortmund, Leverkusen and RB Leipzig. All good sides in their own right.

So yes, I maintain anyone calling it a farmers league is either being very arrogant or very ignorant.

 

[Gassin's finest]

My interpretation of a farmers league was that it was a league where talent was "grown" before being "farmed out" to richer pastures? Like De Bruyne, Son, Harland etc etc. But maybe I'm overthinking that.

I’ve only ever heard it used for leagues that are shit. Reading the posts calling it a farmer’s league and that appears to be the context.

Harry Kane was born in 1993, we’ve not won an FA cup or major trophy since then… just sayin

Earlier. In fact the whole thing stretches back to Mr and Mrs Kane snr celebrating our 2-0 victory over Liverpool on 31st October 1992.

Harry gets managers sacked

 

[Archibald&Crooks]

I see were descending into the trolling and fucking ridiculous again.

 

[Kingellesar]

I'm surprised they've given Tuchel until the end of the season, especially if they go out of the CL to Lazio.
