By accepting the reality you’ve been duped in my eyes. Levy has you feeling exactly how he wants you to feel. We shouldn’t have to accept Levy’s ways even if we know what he’s like. If we do, how and why would things ever change?

Football just ain't important enough to fight the status quo. You might as well accept it and try and find positives imo. Football is meant to be our escape from the pressures of life, not something that adds to it.

You'd actually be surprised how easy it is.
I used to be the former.
Tottenham's results defined my week, or at least my weekend. If someone asked me to define myself, I'd first and foremost be a Spurs supporter. I love the club. Always will.

Maybe cause I'm old, or maybe the last 3 years really took it out of me but now I'm fairly ambivalent, and I just want to enjoy my football. I've seen people go to the lane just to criticise and I'm thinking what's the point. Time waits for no man. This is meant to be our enjoyment. Enjoy it. Football just ain't that important in the grand scheme.

Enjoyment that is being impeded by practices that are deeply irritating or that seem impossible to understand is much harder to attain

If I remember correctly, we've had stories from good journalists claiming the same. And Harry himself has said that he wants to stay at Tottenham, as long as we are progressing and fighting at the top. I believe Ange can get us back to that.
Thirdly, and this is just my personal opinion, I think Kane loves Spurs, and wants to win something here more than anything else. If he believes he can do that, he will sign a new contract.

He's gone unfortunately.

If he was staying the contract would've been signed a few month's/weeks ago.

It's pretty clear he wants to go somewhere else.

I don't think it's the tactics they've used tbh. If anything they have made it harder for themselves as it has annoyed us. It's about the fee at the end of the day, the proposition to the player and the fact that we'd probably rather sell to a foreign club than have him leave on a free k CT year to Chelsea, United etc.

They have created this circus, enough that everyone has had enough and want it over with, so much so that everyone will now accept a lower fee.
Its worked.

He can win the Ballon Dor there imo. And he can play CL every season and be in with a chance of winning. Bayern are a huge draw for a player.

Man Utd had to sell Ronaldo
Liverpool had to sell Suarez
Arsenal had to sell Henry

All much bigger clubs than us too.

We'll be ok

Man utd have been on a steep decline since Ronaldo left the first time, Arsenal haven't won the prem since Henry left, only Liverpool have been a success since Suarez departure, and that was due to shrewd recruitment, something I have little faith in us doing

Are we finally about to witness a club make a proper bid for him?! Unreal scenes. Literally the only reason he’s been here as long as he has been

Got to give it to levy he’s done it again, managed to convince some people that selling one of the greatest strikers we have ever had could be a good thing and we can rebuild. Cant wait until it happens and we invest it in 5 players that don’t actually improve the 1st 11.

Think you missed the bit where the transfer dragged on and we just ran out of time to get new players in.

Admittedly It's hard under Conteball, but then I just miss matches. Only watch when I feel like it. Job done. With good football it's not too bad

Only if the striker we bring in is the same value as what we sold Kane for. The 2x centre backs should have been brought in regardless of what happens with Kane.

Spending £70m on 2x centre backs and £30m on a striker isn’t enough. It needs to be £70m on 2x centre backs and £100m on a new striker/attacking replacement.

I’d make a head start of being disappointed if I were you.

It’s going to be so weird to not have Kane here anymore - to look at the line-ups and not see his name.

However, everything has to come to an end and it’s probably a good a time as any with Ange coming in and changing the style.

Even weirder to think he will never have been our team captain for a season. He finally gets named captain and then dips out in the same preseason.

But 100m if it sorts our defence out…. Plus we reinvest on Muani and have a fast front 3 of son Muani Solomon and we press high and fast and pin teams back we can spread the goals out.
Say on average kane gets 25 a season… all we need is Muani to get 15 and maddison to get 10 and we are net equal. Throw in son back to form getting 15-20, solomun getting 10-15, then our other attacking 8s of lo celso, Benta etc getting goals we could easily be up on goals whilst conceding way less and actually controlling games.

I'm of the opinion that one bird in hand is better. We know that Kane is good for 25/30 goals, especially in an attacking side. We don't know if Muani or Solomon will be a success, and we don't know if Son will be back to his old self. We don't have a very good track record of buying strikers.

Money is not the issue at Spurs, it's how we use them. It's all well and good that we may get 100 mill for Kane, but I don't have very much faith that we will spend them in a good way. Thus, I think keeping Kane and letting him go for free next season is worth more, with the added bonus that he may sign a new contract.

Football isn't about numbers, it's about feelings. Seeing Kane in another shirt will be horrible. Extra horrible when he wins something in that shirt. On the contrary, nothing will be better than Kane, as captain, lifts a trophy he has won with us. If we sell him now, the former will definately happen, and the latter will never happen.

We should just tell them to fuck off.

Harry will play and he’ll play well if he stays.

We can’t let Bayern win after the way they’ve behaved.

Exactly this. Tapsoba, VDV, Muani and I’m happy it’s as good as we can get.
Then if we sell hojberg, Sanchez and a few more we can then sign another attacking winger to bring extra pace and goals.

At the moment we can't even sign one of those and the 3 combined will cost nearly double what we get for Kane

Not a mission we’d sign those 3 imo.

Disagree. As I said, he has said he wants to stay as long as he sees us progressing. We haven't done that in 4 years! Why would he have signed a new contract in that time?
If Levy get's his head out of his ass and buys two good CBs, we will have a very strong team this season. There is no reason why we cannot get into top 4, and win a cup along the way. We do that, and Kane finishes his career at Tottenham.

If it's £85m with potential add ons to make it a total package of £100m then take it and move on. Will be a very sad day when he leaves but it seems inevitable. No idea how we would reinvest back into the team but I do think Tapsoba/VdV and a Striker would follow pretty quickly in an attempt to appease the fans.

Appease? It’s the minimum requirement and even then it won’t be even close to enough IMO

Man Utd has won 2 Premier Leagues, 1 Fa Cup, 2 Carabao Cups, and a Europa League since Ronaldo left in 2009.

Arsenal has won 4 FA cups since Henry left.

I'd bite my hand off for a fraction of that success.

Absolutely huge club. The league is poor but think people are undervaluing the prestige of Bayern
