Harry Kane

DJS · May 18, 2021

I simply don’t believe he would do this at this stage of the season.

I just hope we secure him and Bale for next season at new stadium and Bale is used properly so we can see them properly in tandom for a whole season, hopefully under a manager who isn’t a dinosaur.

Then following summer if we’re still shit by all means look at situation again.

They are on but only apply to the transfer forums. We moving the Kane thread there?

Oh well at least being banned from the transfer section has some upsides. At least i wont have to follow every painful twist of the knife in this whole debacle once this thread gets moved there.

Anything less than £180 would be a poor return for him.
And I think I'd be more disappointed in him if he went to Man United.

Man City, Liverpool or Chelsea he is highly likely to win something. At Man United he might win something.

As amazing as Kane is, we have lost big players before. I'd be gutted, but we will survive.

fuck me, id buy him for that!

My guess (and purely guess) is that there was a discussion between Kane and Levy last summer and he was asked to give it another season. Whoever it is close to him has now leaked this. With JJ saying that he hasn't asked to leave himself, I'd guess that there probably will be another chat with Levy this summer, and he'll need to be sold on the vision. I hope there's a vision.

As has also been said, City seems like his only realistic destination (maybe PSG, but I get the feeling he really wants to break Shearer's goal scoring record), so it would need them to choose him over Haaland etc too.

Kane also knows his worth. He knows that it'll take a huge amount to buy him. He's not going to kick up a stink if we start turning down offers of £80m or whatever. And I don't think he'd expect Levy to accept such an offer, gentleman's agreement or not.

JJ confirming that there's no need for Harry to come out and clarify anything as he didn't tell the club he wants to leave. Can't get much clearer than that

Once these stories begin its inevitable that he's going. In that case, its better he goes now, rather than having a year of limbo. We'll get more money from him now and we can begin re building sooner, rather than jusk kicking the can down the road for 12 months,

See this is where I completely disagree. Kane isn't the type to down tools and start missing training or putting in bad performances - it's simply not in him. He's far too ambitious and competitive and is constantly chasing personal milestones like the EPL top scorer and the golden boot. If anything he might play even better to force a bid from the best club he can.

If we keep Kane for another season I don't expect his level to drop at all, so why would we rush to sell him simply because he wants to leave? We got great final seasons out of Bale, Modric and Berbatov before they left, and they were all far less professional than Kane.

Personally I think we can get a similarly huge fee for him next season (hazard still went for £100M+ with only 1 year left) so why not keep a club legend and the best striker in the league? It would give our new manager a fighting chance of actually winning something/getting top 4 and allow him to assess the needs of the squad before getting the giant Kane windfall. Not only that, but any manager worth their salt coming in would surely want assurances that they'll have Kane next season.

Rushing to sell Kane off the back of some media reports and him reportedly wanting out would be batshit IMO.

Doctor Dinkey · May 18, 2021

We will need two strikers- one to replace Kane and one to replace Vinicius. We will also need to replace Bale's goals, and shore up our terrible defence. Kane's £150m is not going to go very far, especially since our transfers are likely to have inflated price tags.

The point is that if we start winning he might change his mind. Big summer for Levy get the manager right and back him and most of this negativity goes away. If I were Levy I'd be spending big this Summer and if it doesn't work out sell Kane next year to recoup that money. If it does then CL and PL money should cover it anyway. Give Hitchen the reigns and see what he does with them.

Whilst I would love this to happen, I have very little faith Levy will actually do what is necessary to move the club forward.

If you’d consider our biggest game is against Arsenal as our main rivals and supposedly a ‘top 6’ side, Harry Kane is the all time leading scorer in NLD’s now.
He’s scored home and away against all top 6 clubs, in fact he’s actually scored against every premier league team he’s ever faced.

Kane would be a bona fide star in any team he plays, he’s that good.
He’s a phenomenon.

Likely to become England’s all time top scorer too.

And £90 million, haha double that and then we’ll talk.

I'm referring to recent form - and under one of the most decorated managers in modern history. Nobody is disputing his credentials as a top player, but one would have to be remiss if it wasn't understood in the context of him being a regular in the Spurs team. But it would also be remiss to overlook his recent form and look at his form in a wider context of his entire career. This is especially important if you buy into the "27 years of age is the peak of a footballer's ability" mantra. His price should be based on the cost to us of losing such a player. There isn't another waiting in the wings, as he was when Bale left. He's the man taking us up a level from just scraping top 10. But City are after players that are going to maintain their expectations. It doesn't make sense for them to buy him when they already have a team competing at the top level. I'd like him to be England's top scorer but I don't think Rooney should worry about his record...Charlton held his for 46 years.

I've mentioned this twice already in this thread, but now I have a bigger audience.....

There is a mutually beneficial solution that I think would work.
Harry Kane loan to City for 1 season (with the option for a 2nd season of they don't win either the PL or CL)

City pay a small fee £15-20M and he is a nice stop gap for them in their long-term search for a replacement for Aguero .

Kane gets to stay in the PL and continue to try and break Shearers record. And he obviously puts himself in the best possible situation to win some trophies.

Spurs get to keep their golden boy.

Problem solved.

Some journo has actually asked Arteta if Arsenal would be in for Kane. How do they bring themselves to ask questions like that? I bet half the room died from second hand cringe.

Whenever I listen to pressers I'm always slightly astonished at just how shit a lot of the questions are.

It's like, given the size and prestige of the league and the sport, is this really the best we've got?

Nah the other journos will have loved it. They all get to have a laugh at our expense (which they all do because most of the journos covering Arsenal are Gooners and West Ham fans), and whatever Arteta says can easily be plugged into a headline which will get clicks. Even if Arteta says something really dull.

Journo: Errr, Mikel, would Arsenal be interested in signing Harry Kane?

Arteta: Well.... errrr... if Kane is available then I’m sure all top clubs would be interested, but I’m happy with my options and any deal between rivals in England is very very difficult.

Headline: “Arteta refuses to rule out SHOCKING Kane move that will INFURIATE Spurs fans!”

We’ve got months of this... sigh.

Hmmmmm.

According to my man at the club Harry hasn't asked to leave.

Feel for the new coach. He should be coming in and looking forward to constructing his team and answering questions about what he will be looking to do. Instead he's going to be bombarded with Qs about Kane leaving.

Yet.

Far too much smoke over the last 24 hours. Especially the stuff about the gentlemans agreement. Does tally with the BBC report though.

trevo · May 18, 2021

How ungrateful can you get? We let him play in the first team for seasons where others might not have and yet that's not good enough for him? I'd heard elsewhere that he was looking forward to playing against Young Mongolian Exiles of Outer Siberia, in the Europa League Cup qualifiers. He'd described it as 'The most important match of my career so far, but the lads are up for it...'

Jack Grealish is most potent coming in off the left - Son's position. Are you suggesting that if our top scorer leaves we should bring in a marquee signing to replace our second top scorer?

I think we would instead need to sign a quality no.10 to play in a central role, to compliment whoever we sign to play as the no.9.

If Kane goes we need to change system. It is impossible to be as good as we were with Kane as there is nobody as good as him.

I don't think Kane will go but I do agree about Grealish, he would be the biggest talent we could possibly attract and if you sell your talisman you have to show ambition with at least bringing another big name in.

I would rather move Son up top and have Grealish from the left, than try and replace Kane with Danny Ings (or any other striker who is levels below Kane) and carry on as we were.
