Harry Kane

[gio747]

One thing that gives me a bit of hope that he might stay at least another year is that a lot of the reports (of which there are many) are focused on Man United.
So I'm hoping it's just a case of media taking advantage of United's enormous fan base to get clicks, last year it was Sancho, this year Kane.

I’ve no doubt united want him and he wants to go. I just doubt they have the money that levy will demand.

 

[ShayLaB]

Not worried about this report because I don't believe he or his agent would leak anything until after the season is over.

Concerned this he might leave? Yes, if course but not because of this

There was paper talk of them wanting to do a cash plus player deal including lingard and martial. If they want him it's either cold hard cash in full or cash plus Fernandes and greenwood.

 

[spids]

I agree with everything you've written but these players want to leave because we aren't a winning team. Yes we've had good players and a good team and we will again but we now need to make that step to win otherwise we will find ourselves here again. Thats the point so many of us are trying to make.

I agree we need to break the cycle. And we also needed a stadium and income to help persistently break that (as Leicester will eventually find out). Hopefully this will be the last time we have a forced rebuild. My point is that star players come and go and whatever happens at some point in the not too distant future we’ll all be worshipping a new super star, just as we have Berbatov, Keane, Bale, Modric, VDV, Eriksen, Dele, Son and Kane. And in the case of previous forced rebuilds, each time we’ve gone a step further the next time.

People forget how much these people are paid. They need to stop thinking the give a fuck about the fans. They honestly don’t give a shit about us but enjoy the adulation.

Fans go on about how ENIC are this that and the other and are stealing from us. Well, they aren’t the only ones.

I was thinking this today. The way people are talking about Kane you’d think we had him chained in the cellar on a diet of bread and water. He’s unbelievably well paid for what he does, and we don’t need to be grateful that he’s put in a shift for us. All this nonsense about letting him go and owing him extra for his service really grinds my gears.

 

[sundanceyid10]

It doesn’t really though does it? Look at some of the talent we’ve had during ENIC’s tenure - Modric, Berbatov, Bale, Eriksen, Vertonghen, Dembele

Even the Bale money we spent gave us players that like Chadli, Lamela, Eriksen, that were large parts of our success under Poch.

I realise people want to vent recklessly but let’s not rewrite history. Our recruitment, in the main, has been bloody good under ENIC. This is why we have been able to reach a position where we’re expected to be in the conversation for top 4 even though we have the lowest resources of the top 6.

Yes we’re going through a relative bad patch, but the right manager and a few decent signings and we’ll be up there again.

Eriksenwas a good signing, Chadli was hardly anything to shout about, likewise Lamela shows flashes sometimes but is hardly someone to rely upon. The rest of the Bale money were flops. Sure there have been some good signings but a heck of a lot of terrible ones too and expensive ones at that.

 

[sundanceyid10]

He obviously can’t easily be replaced. But we’re still in the conversation for top 4 after selling our best players in Bale, Berbatov and Modric in the past, so that tells me the recruitment has been good enough to keep us progressing even after losing massive talents.

It’s impossible to replace everything Kane brings to team but if we have the right manager in place and recruit smartly his skill set can be absorbed by the rest of the team. For example if we bought a goals scoring right wing forward to spread the load evenly among the front 3 rather than relying on 1-2 players.

I’m not even going to respond about perceived ‘penny-pinching’ as the reasons have been gone over a million times over in this thread.

We were not in the conversation for top 4 after those players left. Pochettino was the reason we consistently achieved it. He also got us to a final. We f***ed around changing managers constantly and got nowhere. We finally got a good one, even got us to the champions league final and we sacked him. For all he had achieved (which was much more than most of the managers in recent history) he deserved more time. Instead we sacked him and look at the f***ing mess now. If people think Kane goes and we reinvest the money and back in top 4 I think they are in for a rude awakening. The last time it happened we pissed the Bale money up the wall.

I will not stand for any Chadli slander!! ??

 

[parj]

We’re not loyal to home grown players who care about the club if they’re not good enough, so why should they be loyal to the club if it can’t meet their standards? Kane stayed loyal longer than most would’ve done in his position.

Absolutely this. Where the Winks haters at?

I’m not slandering him, he wasn’t crap. But everyone on here wants success and so we need more than not being crap.

Chadli was a good signing for us at the time and once we got better players he moved on. Very much like Mido being a player that we needed or Steffen Freund.

 

[Thewobbler]

Patson Daka, 34 goals all comps for RB Salzburg this season.

Just typed his name in google and apparently hes a reported target for everton, west ham and liverpool.

 

[Hotspur33]

You think he wants to go to united or just go in general?

Good point about Leicester. They'll be a champions League team now, I suspect the next time they try to buy the "next James Madison" he might cost that little bit more than they are willing to pay.

There in lies the problem too many make up the numbers signings, not crap, not awful just fairly average... club drifts along.....we don’t win anything.... we don’t have a winning mentality.... star play wants out.... rinse repeat.

Add up all those make up the numbers type signings and it would be better to use the money on better quality.

Except even then we seem pick a fair share of duds.

Chadli could have been good, he even made the Belgium team.
Money does not always buy quality ,Ndombele, our most expensive signing, the jury is still out.
It is the breaks of the game.
On Harry, he is quality and is worth a fortune.

Agree mostly on this; cant remember if Son was one of the fab 7s. If he is then that's 2/7 that made a lasting impact which coincided with Kane's emergence.

Came in a while later mate, a Poch singing.

He wasn't.

Eriksen, Chadli, Lamela, Chiriches, Soldado, Paulinho, Capoue

@MB31spurs why the doh?

Proven quality's hard to come by...we paid big money for Sanchez, Tanguy etc, so it's not like the club's not trying.
It just didn't come off.
