He's had just over half a season doing well in the EPL.

I wouldn't accept £80k for Kaboul, so I certainly wouldn't for our star player.

Sure. You send me 80k, and I will relinquish all rights I have in Harry Kane.
Done and dusted. That was easy.

No, we will find it difficult to replace Ade and/or sold ado if we can move them on.
We won't be able to replace Kane. He is young, and not on a huge wage.

Nobody would currently offer us 80 million
If he scores less than 15 goals next season that 80m is miles off
If he scores 20+ again next season we might get a few silly offers
If he scores 30+ we will get lots of very silly offers and it will be very difficult to keep him unless he is actually silly enough to want to stay

Excusing the £80k mistake (evidently he meant £80m), it's a question that did make me think.
I think he's the real deal and will score goals again next season. On that basis alone I would not sell him.
However, my brain also tells me that i'm often wrong about many things! So what if he really is just a one season wonder?
Part of it is also our connection with the individual player. How we feel about him and his connection with us as fans.
On this, I was much more confident about 3 months ago that Kane's character was different and he would become a benchmark for one club loyalty in the modern game, staying with us for many years.
Now I'm not so sure.
I've read interviews recently where it looks like the agent has got his claws into him, with Harry saying things like 'at the moment' and 'hopefully' to preface any mention of his future.
I'm sure much of this is just to help the agent get a better contact for Kane at Spurs but if he's playing the game now (not that I blame him, it is his career after all) then I'm less sure about our ability to keep him for years to come.
So whilst the 'one of our own' thing is nice, for me the recent interviews with Kane have served as a timely reminder not to get too attached to individual players, because in football these days they move on. The only constant is the club and us, the fans.
The important thing is that we have the most competitive Spurs team and, right now, that team definitely contains Kane. Also, as someone else said, we'll never see that sort of cash this summer for fear of him being a one season wonder.
Next summer though, if his loyalty is wavering and he is courting other clubs through the media and his agent (and we can get that sort of money for him) then doing a deal would be fine with me.
However there is a major caveat to this. We have to be confident that our player targeting and acquisition has been vastly improved by Mitchell, to the point that the summer 2013 window is a distant memory and the players we sign this summer have made an impact in the EPL.
Proper waffling answer there, sorry.
In short, my answer is 'no'. I think...

You can edit the title. Somewhere at the top of the thread there should be an option button.

I wouldnt even take £200m for him. We wouldnt be able to bring any top players with that because we dont pay the wages. We've finally got a 20+ goals striker that actually might stick around for a good number of years, I intend to enjoy that.

As a fan no thanks. I'd like to see if he gets as many if not more goals next season and that being the case we could get even more than 80m further down the line
As a businessman/owner of the club I'd have to take the money
