He stuck to his word, said he'd stay with spurs as long as we stayed competitive. We haven't.
Man City are the same club who did not want to let us have Sancho (who hadn’t even made a single appearance for them at the time) during the Walker negotiations. We should not sell them Kane for a cent less than £150m.
We should not help them out by taking their deadwood. We should not lower the price because of covid. We should not allow this to go on all summer.
Set a price and a deadline and stick to it.
Gosh, this took about 3 or 4 reads before I understood what you meantI think we need him gone this summer, it just seems the right time to cash in and reshape the team. We will of course find him irreplaceable but it was the same when the likes of Carrick, Modric, Berbatov and Bale went, the show will go on.
£150m in this market could get us the 3 or maybe 4 players we need to be competitive, especially if one is a cut price Danny Ings.
would love a deal that involved Phil Foden - but I know that’s a complete dream.
hopefulky Cotys bid spurs United I to life and we get a bidding war

Normally I'd be completely against selling Kane. But right now a lot of teams are financially struggling. The likes of Sabitzer is being touted for around £15m.
I have no idea how accurate these prices are but it's certainly possible that there are going to be some very good deals about. To make the most of it we would need to sell a number of other players for squad numbers though.
Given the choice I'd still rather keep Kane but it's not as certain as it once was.
I’d rather he go City than anyone else in the Prem
Trouble is people talk about how we need to rebuild and should take 125m or whatever but as soon as you have 125m pound burning a hole in your pocket everyone knows you're desperate to spend it, especially if you've just sold your best/fan favourite player.
By the time you factor in the everyone knows your desperate/have money to burn factor and that everyone knows PL clubs can pay more generally, we'll be lucky to get 2 starting 11 players for that and neither of them will be as good as Kane.
We stand to lose far more by letting him go and having a half-arsed attempt at a rebuild than we do by keeping him and building around him and hoping he's too professional to down tools IMO. At least for the next season while we get settled with the new manager.
Alternatively, clubs know you have money so start 'offering' players at good value.
It should be £150m base + add ons getting up to £250m. City can eat shit. As can kane & his brother. The way they’ve been acting? They can fuck right off. Fuck levy but fuck these 3 parties too.Man City are the same club who did not want to let us have Sancho (who hadn’t even made a single appearance for them at the time) during the Walker negotiations.

That's generally not how life works though is it. Anyone you're offered without actively trying to get is by definition someone that their current team is looking to offload so hardly the cream of the crop. And given that levy will be under enormous pressure to use the money well and everyone knows it, why would anyone offer us decent players for less than they think we can pay for them?
