Harry Kane MBE

Lots of fuss about Derp If we sell Kane and spend it well, we could arguably be in a stronger position.

Say we sign 2 CFs for £100m combined and a £50m RW. Those are big fees this summer.

We'll no longer be reliant one man
Our season may no longer be susceptible to him getting kicked on the ankle
We might hopefully have broader threat
We can balance our CF options better so that we take off the main CF (say a £60m-£70m signing) and bring on his deputy (£30m-£40m signing) when the main man is off form
We can bring in 3 players who will be at spurs for 10 years if we target the right age range

I'm not saying that I'd want Kane to leave, but get the right manager and use the money sensibly, and this could help the team.

The problem is we will spend £100m on 2021's Vincent jannsen and Clinton njie. Our recruitment team are completely incompetent

You need to read The Athletic. Their highly credible reporting says Kane asked to leave after last season and has been chatting up the City players at England training camps. This whole kerfuffle that's suddenly shot up in the birdcage tabloids is merely media mischief heading into the final week. We've always been a soft target for those actions.

The article is hidden behind a paywall. I agree on media mischief. It is not the first time for them to hype up movement of British players.

That said I have no problem with Kane if he decides he wants to move.

This is the ideal situation if he goes yes.

But this is Tottenham Hotspur Football Club and I have zero confidence in our ability to do any of the above.

But I still fudging love em'.

Eh...agreed to an extent. But at what point do Chelsea staff members get tinkled off that this guy is being paid a ridiculous some of money to not even do a real job? We could have tried.

As we all know.... the only person at Spurs to be the highest paid in the league is the chairman himself....
 
thfcsteff said:
It was the beginning of Levy's swapping and changing plus the full acrimonious Chelski relationship. Abramovich saw what we were doing and simply wanted us not to do it, so he bought it and did it instead. I think it was the moment when Levy's skin got a lot thicker, because I don't personally believe he ever thought Arnesen would take such a move. Neither did I TBF.

Why would Arnesen not accept more money for the same job at another club?

I absolutely convinced myself that we'd have Kane for one more season so I now feel like I've been dropped from the top of a high building. I know we're not going to have him forever, I understand why he might want to move on, and it's a killer that he hasn't been able to win something with us. I SO want him to win, he deserves it, but to be honest I will begrudge it if it's with another PL club.
But if there is truth that he or his agent/brother are getting word out about wanting to leave, why now? Why with two games left to get European football next season, for what is still the club he loves, why disrupt things for his best mate-manager rather than hold off for a week? It's not like the season ends and everyone forgets who Harry Kane is.
I'm still clinging to the ever-thinning straw that this is just mischief-making by someone, or that Levy won't let him leave this year for an amount less than what anyone will pay, or that our newly announced manager will inspire Kane again to one more season.
But I fear I am just clutching now.

I heard a horrible little snippet this morning that Harry wanted out last year and the chairman asked him to give us one more year.
 
As i have said before i do not blame him for wanting a move, he has zero trophy's to show for his time here and i am pretty sure he does not want to look back once he has quit playing and see nothing in his trophy cabinet. We are fans and many of us may not see it that way but players who reach the top of their ability do.

Like others i hope he does not go to any of our rivals but IF he does i will wish him well. Lets be honest IF we sell him for the top price at least it will enable us to rebuild our team which is in need of a major turnover.

Neither surprised nor disappointed.
Seen it coming, been on the cards for two years. Son will be next.
I'll be in a minority of one here but I'm not in the least bothered. But please get it done quick.
We've become overly reliant on him imho and to the detriment of our game over the last few seasons. That's not his fault, that's the managements fault, but we have to often allowed the narrative to be about Harry Kane.
You don't want to be here anymore, fine, thanks for your efforts, good bye, good luck.
Don’t care where he goes, but if its not city or psg he isn't winning any of the big titles so its for the money. Which begs the question, £200k a week going begging on bale that could be divided between Kane and son to keep them.

It's not for money. He could stay here and earn a huge wage. There are 5 or 6 clubs more likely to win trophies than we are in the PL alone.
 
AdamB said:
Hopefully when we have the next Kane, the stadium debt will be have been paid down sufficiently such taht we're able to invest in the team consistently and keep them. We havent been far short - a couple players and we'd have had a good chance of keeping this Kane for longer.

Moving on under a new manager and with a new group of young players would be interesting and attractive. Key is execution - getting the right manager and spending the money well

When we have the next Kane? You realise that clubs have a Harry Kane come through maybe once in every 50 years right?

so a few points

- Not United this year, they just renewed Cavani at wages no one else in Europe would touch (they don't need him if they have Kane)
- Chelsea doesn't deal with us, of course they may change their mind for their best interest.

Can he leave =yes
Has he asked to leave = I really don't buy it, several reasons

- Club mouthpiece (Ally Gold) came out immediately and said he hasn't
- Mason is his mate, would not be a good reflection on Mason's career if Kane said that now when he could easily wait a week and not put it on Mason.
- Don't think Harry would purposely cause an upset when the club has two important games left in the season.

Will he sit down with club and have a conversation post season = pretty sure
His ability to push a move really comes down to is anyone both interested and able to pay a ~£150M?

Not sure I agree with that first statement at all. Cavani isn't going to give you anything like a full season. Kane and Cavani as their CF options with Rashford and Greenwood as wide forward options.... They'll sell Martial and Lindgard to fund half of Harry's fee.... We might even end up with the pair of them as part funding (would save Hitchen some work).

I think if we shared bale's wages across Kane, son and lloris, we'd suddenly have 3 arm round the shoulder behind a desk smiley photos. I think it's something we have to do as the first step to stop the rot

I don't think it comes down to money at all with Kane. I think he is making the right decision in pushing for a move.

No, with Harry it obviously isn't about the money. But I thought as there has quite a few posters wanting to keep bale on £200k a week it would be interesting to see how they felt about ditching bale if his wages kept Harry and son.

Wonder what team or agent has advised Kane or taken it on themselves to release the news at this point in time. 2 games left with 1 of them at home with fans.

Almost comes over as slightly desperate, and it's not exactly going to put Levy into negotiation mode with any club coming in. It's as if they are hoping media pressure with make us lower the transfer fee.

I guess he's in a no lose position, what's the worst that can happen for Kane, he stays, gets an extra 150k a week or something and some cast iron assurances about what is going to happen going forward. I see a couple reports coming out now saying the board are saying there is no way he's leaving.

I wonder if the club have leaked it to soften us up to the idea of him going now.... Chelsea mentioned so that when it doesn't end up being them we're relieved instead of fuming that we've lost one of our best ever players through stagnation (at best) of the first team squad.

Dane Scarlett could be in the same tier as Kane eventually... not saying they're identical types of strikers, but there is a lot of potential there.

We should get Youssouph Badji as a replacement.

I'm already checking who Emirates Marketing Project have in their youth team that they can loan us for one season with no permanent option as part of the £100m deal for Harry Kane on transfer deadline day....
