Harry Kane

[fishhhandaricecake]

If he stays happy fucking days but if he's going then fine, take the money and rebuild.

What I don't want to happen though is for this uncertainty to go on all bloody summer. Levy needs to put a deadline on the deal and stick to it like Dortmund did with Sancho last season. Tell city and man utd it'll be X to buy him, either meet it or fuck off.

100% this. And this is where I’ll be fuming with Levy if he doesn’t do this, time and time again our starts to seasons are ruined by levy dragging out deals until the very last minute, as you say if they want Kane then set them the price and deadline, if they meet it fine we give a lot of that money to new manager to re-build, if they don’t then we keep Kane for another season and move it, what we can’t have is it dragging on until the final possible last minute so our other deals are held up or don’t happen, we have an unsettled pre-season and start to the season.

I like Lineker jabbing Shearer with stats about Kane, and he seemed to enjoy letting him know.

Shearer’s dejected acceptance was amusing.

Shearer is one person who sure as shit doesn’t want Kane going to City!

Think I’ve said before we need you to replace Hitchen

I can't..........












I would hate it

 

[Archibald&Crooks]

not sure it is up for debate?

You're right, It really isn't. He's a Spurs legend, no question.

The way some people are so quick to abuse him, wish injury on him and all sorts of other disasters that i've seen over the past couple of days is nothing short of embarrassing. If someone really feels he should be criticised, fine, criticise him but he doesn't deserve to have his achievements at the club so readily thrown in the bin or some of the childish abuse and spite that's been aimed at him. And as for wishing him injury.........Is that how we treat club legends now?

It it's all very distasteful to say the least.

I hope Levy handles this the right way. Meaning, that is both respectful of Kane, but also ensures the larger interests of the club are not put at risk.

Basically, tell him he has until the start of the Euros to persuade City to meet Tottenham’s price. If they don’t or won’t, then that’s that, he has to stay and they won’t consider any deals after the Euros as it puts the club at a big disadvantage, trying to secure replacements and adjust their recruitment plans based on the windfall. Moreover, it would screw with the new manager’s preperation. As there will be so much change this summer, and they should be afforded the time to bed in new players and work with the existing players, preferably right at the start of preseason training.

In short, the club comes first. But, they are willing to let Harry fulfill his wish, albeit on their terms... which, I think is reasonable if it comes down to... he has three weeks to get it sorted and the asking price will likely be 130 to 150m.

Sadly that's football fans for you Not all of them but quite a few. You never seem to see it in other sports. The great game of football seems to bring out the worst in some people.

 

[SPURSLIFE]

A player is worth what somebody is willing to pay. If he is adamant he wants to go this summer then given his age, his injury record and the current financial climate we aren't going to get the money that's being banded about in here. If he goes and we recruit poorly, as we so often do, we're in for a rocky season. I feel sorry for whoever the new manager is, that is a squad full of poor attitudes and poor quality. I'd be cheesed off and want to leave if I had to play with some of that dross.

Bloody hell, he's leaving before he's even started.

 

[Metalhead]

Do we have a stadium naming rights deal then? How much it's worth in a financial crisis I wouldn't like to say - will there be any takers?

It'll be interesting to see if that is finally resolved over the summer now that we know that fans will be back properly in August.

Thinking Kane will stay is wishful thinking.

He’s kept his mouth shut all these years so these recent reports are a massive move from him and it’s not in his character to flake out of a decision.

Best thing to do is to wish him well and respect the great things he’s done in a Spurs shirt. The club didn’t match his ambition and he gave them a long time to get it right.

Move on and rebuild.

I agree that he deserves nothing but respect for his achievements and nothing he does now undoes that, he’s a Spurs legend and the greatest player of our modern history without a shadow of a doubt and we should all love him for it unconditionally.

However, I also don’t believe he should be wished well. No ill feeling and no bitterness towards him, but if he joins another club in this league that we aspire to compete with (whether or not we do is another matter) than frankly he has nothing to do with us and we have no vested interested in his success. Let me be clear, my fondness for him remains absolutely intact and I will always treasure the memories I have of him, but once he plays for a rival, he’s just another player competing with us and until he either returns or retires, he’ll remain as such. No animosity but no well wishing either.

Well put. Levy took him for granted. That said we have spent money, just very poorly, at the wrong time and made other poor decisions along the way.
We had a top coach in Poch and we should have backed him not let the squad diminish, try and replace him when he's told us the squad needs a reboot and then flounder around with players when it was clear that he was right after all.
Oops, too late.

.. and yet 1 month after saying he would not comment on what Kane should do as it was up to him, he then comes out (in rather coordinated fashion) after the Neville interview and says "If I was Harry Kane I'd leave."

It's similar to a long term relationship breaking up as one person says they no longer love the other. The rejected one can either accept that and try and move on, realising they are better off alone than being with someone who does not feel the same way about them, or they go into denial (we can work it out), or they get angry and hateful. There are a lot of raw emotions at play, and Harry Kane's co-ordinated efforts to get a move on the eve of our second to last game of the season has really grated some.

 

[Haddock]

Kane obviously wants to leave. Everything he's said and done this past week, and his "inner circle of people" as well, is either a way of orchestrating a way out, or it's already done. I must admit that I'm a bit disappointed in the way Kane has gone about this.

That's why I'm a bit concerned regarding how all of this plays out if the move doesn't materialize. I don't believe Kane will down his tools but I do believe that a player, regardless of how much they love a club etc, can be more or less motivated. I'm so fed up with seeing players in a Spurs shirt who deep down don't want to be here.

That said, Grealish had one foot out the door when he was crying in front of the Villa crowd. Despite that he knuckled down and has been fantastic for them when he didn't get his move.

[EDIT - Yes I know we used Bale back in 2013, but this was posted as some people had postured that it was the reason the kit launch was delayed]

Wishing an injury on him or any player for that matter is very distasteful.

 

[Ron Burgundy]

I won't say much that others haven't said - he's likely to go, probably to a Manchester club etc. etc.

Importantly though, he can absolutely leave with his head held high. He's been arguably the best player in the league this year. We haven't been able to match his ambitions and we've been f*cking terrible for large parts of this year, so you can't blame him.

When he comes back as an opposition, he'll still be 'one of our own', and deserves applause IMO. Booing would be out of order

Bale was used when he went to RM they year

 

[sundanceyid10]

Not if he decides he wants to go at all costs. You don't let a 100m asset and a great servant of the club rot in the youth team. Why would you want a player (or asset if you're DL) at the club who desperately wants to leave depreciate in value.

He wants to break all kinds of personal scoring records, he has said that numerous times, you seriously think he would down tools, never going to happen. If he stayed he would still be trying to score as many goals as possible that’s a 100% fact. 3 more years is way more valuable than any money in my opinion so I would hold him to the contact he freely signed. It’s not about what Kane wants it’s about what is best for Spurs.

Much like the Bale New York thing, it doesn’t mean we’re doing to keep him, but it does mean that we’re planning to keep him, which means that City, like Madrid in 2013, will need to pay what we tell them to if they want him. Or anyone else for that matter.
