Kane is not for sale - Pochettino

[Jamturk]

All the vibes I am feeling is that the club is a good place to be right now and the harmony in the squad is on loving levels, I don't envisage any departures of players we want to keep in the current environment.

The key is keeping the Poch,

I know we have a stadium to pay for, but with increased TV revenue and Champions League football, I presume that no one in Pochettino's plans will be sold this summer for anything less than ridiculously over the odds. We're moving into a time where even the smaller Premier League clubs will no longer be under financial pressure to sell their stars and will instead be looking to strengthen.

Last time we qualified for the Champion's League was also the last time that we made a net loss on transfers. We strengthened our team with VDV, Gallas and Sandro, without selling any regular first-team players.

It's also worth keeping in mind that we are currently out performing many of the "big" clubs, with an incredibly young and promising squad that should only get better. Will any of our key players, let alone "one of our own", even consider handing in a transfer request this summer?

All pretty much forced their way out of the club.
Doubt Harry feels the same.

Sure.....

All pretty much went when the transfer fee tickled Levy's dongle.

I'd like to think Levy would consider a new 5 year deal on double the salary to be a bargain. Pochettino is reportedly on £2m, which is not much compared to Klopp's £7m and whatever crazy contracts LVG, Wenger, Guardiola etc are on.

I honestly don't believe that he wants to leave, not so I believe we would sell. What Kane brings to the club is bigger than money and they know this. IF we did sell (which we wont) then I think that would be me done with football tbh

Do you seriously think that anything is bigger to Levy or Lewis than money?

Fams who say if we sell this player or that player i am done with football really don't mean thst, it just a token protest.

I would hate to see Kane sold, but said as much about Carrick, Berbatov, Modric, Keane, Bale, Sheringham. The list is almost endless.

We become immune to the fabrtcated stories, foot stamping and knashing of teeth when any Spurs manager or the current Chairman trots out the 'the player is not for sale' bilge.

As sure as night follows day Spurs will sell once the price meets gigantic proportions.

That is a plain and simple fact and one i now accept as part of being a Spurs fan.

Judas **** once said he's staying.

This is just a typical, bottom line over everything else Levy bash post.

As others have said, Kane will only leave if Kane wants to leave, and so far everything he has said points to him wanting to stay for many years. We all knew Bale wanted to go to Madrid at some point in his career, it was just a matter of when. As it turned out, us missing out on Champions League (again), Barcelona signing Neymar and Real needing a marquee signing to match meant it was 2013, not 2014, or 15.

We were planning for the new stadium back then, yet everything we received for Bale was reinvested in the team, not diverted to stadium funds. We've been operating at zero net spend on transfers for several seasons but making overall profits. That's what will have been going into the stadium fund, and from next season our turnover could well double with the increase in TV money, additional prize money from a higher league finish and the prospect of Champions League football. Not to mention income from naming rights, the NFL deal and higher shirt sponsorship and manufacturing deals.

The actual truth is, if Levy was all about seeing players as capital assets to generate stadium funds then Bale would have gone to Man Utd and Modric would have gone to Chelsea, rather than being sold to Real Madrid for lower fees.

When did you know when Bale wanted to go to Madrid.

I will tell you that it was the day "Bale To Madrid" was on the back page of the Sun.

The 'we all knew that Bale wanted to go to Madrid at some point' is absolute Tosh.

It wasn't until Madrid started courting him that he showed any intetest whatsoever. I think (and may be wrong) that he signed a contract extension the season before.

 

[Gaz_Gammon]

It happens.

Whether we fans like it or not, every player has their price and clubs have very little power to stop an Elite player from going if THEY decide it's time.

If we can consistently compete like we have this season; get Champions League regularly and Levy continues to reward good individual performances with better contracts then I see no reason for players wanting to leave right now.

We need Poch tied down this off season and the rest will stay intact.

Not pissing on your post here but Arsenal lost key players despite making CL qualification for fifteen odd years ( i think).

You actually agreed with my whole post then. (lol)

 

[etchedchaos]

Gaz you almost seem eager to sell Kane, such is the vehemence you have that he'll be gone the moment someone throws a few quid at Levy. Funny how Levy didn't bend over and let Woodward have his way last Summer when United were sniffing around him, eh?

 

[Stamford]

If you get 34 thousand fans claiming you are "One of our own" every week, how could you leave?

Bale was adored and he still left

 

[Mr Pink]

The other thing is the young English contingent in our squad as well, just feels like a very tight knit and happy group of players under a manager/Club clearly going places.

Good time to be at Spurs, I would be stunned if Harry wanted out anytime soon.

 

[thebenjamin]

Regular Cl qualification and a bigger naming rights deal as a result is worth an enormous amount more to Enic than anything they could sell Kane for.

Selling him would be an economic disaster.

The smirking and scratch on the neck said it all

 

[Donki]

Kane is a Spurs fan, he is from the area, he has stated he has no intention of going anywhere anytime soon, he has said he can fulfill his ambitions at this club. None of this can be said about any of the previous players that left, bar Sol and well Sol was a ****.

If you want to believe that every Spurs player has a price and we are simply a stepping stone fine, play your club down if that is what you want to do. I don't see it that way. The facts are we sold our players to arguably the best 2 clubs I the world for massive fees when it was clear the players didn't want to stay. Modric and Berbatov wanted to leave sooner but Levy kept them.

Let me ask you a question though why does Levy get the stick when it was clearly the beloved players that shunned our club? Why is it fine for them to kick up a fuss in order to force Levy's hand? There is no player bigger than our club and if they want to go they should be moved on, it's Levy's job to maximise the return and he's fucking good at it.

All the people saying the stadium needs to be paid for are nuts. There is no point if it is empty once we move in. Kane is a marquee player - a low maintenance one off gem.

We need stars to fill this stadium every match, otherwise we'll look pretty foolish having built it. Levy knows this, so as long as Kane keeps signing those contract extensions and we remunerate him in a way fitting of the PL's top scorer we'll be fine.

Why the fuck would i "seem eager to sell Kane". You do talk a load of crap. As a season ticket holder of over thirty years why would i want to see our best sold?

By the way, when Bale was sold it was for more than a "few quid".

I think comparing Harry Kane to that c**t is an insult

Your posts are quite negative dude and they certainly infer that...you said it yourself...

'As sure as night follows day Spurs will sell once the price meets gigantic proportions. That is a pjain and simple fact and one i now accept as part of being a Spurs fan.'

I think there is a lot more at play here. If the player wants to stay we wont sell. If he wants to go then everything is on the table.

This applies to all clubs of course. It's not relevant to being a Spurs fan, all fans (apart from the biggest clubs) can reasonably expect their best players to leave if the big clubs offer stupid money (in transfer fees & wages). We have to put emotion aside & accept it as just the way things are. It's like a food chain and we are quite high up that chain but not at the top !
