If Harry goes, he goes. He's scored hatfulls of goals season after season with very little help other than maybe Son, when he's on a hot streak.

With 3 years on his contract, if we can get an acceptably huge price, maybe it's time to sell.

We haven't been ambitious enough and Kane is. And though he hasn't been great in the finals and semi finals we've come up short in, the whole team has failed, not just him.

I know he was rushed back for the Champions League final, which proved to be the wrong decision. But across those years of being in the competition, how many times would we even have qualified to be in it without Kane's goals??

Let's not get petty and spiteful about it. The club is bigger than Harry. If he leaves, it will be on terms that suit us.

Definitely share the concerns about reinvesting the fee though.

There have been a number of Memes going around with a, 'We all want to leave Spurs, Harry, but we can't just up and leave etc etc' - humorous message but it's true, Harry (naively) felt a bit different, like he would stick it out because he was one of us.

I'm just sick of Spurs, sick of under achieving, sick of being laughed at, sick of the fact that no matter how apathetic I am, I'll still watch each and every game believing we can still turn things around.

Seeing Harry in anything other than a Spurs shirt is going to be a constant reminder of all of these things, at least Bale had the good grace to fuck off out of the country.

The five stages of grief:

Denial.....no way he's leaving.
Anger......fuck him, hope he breaks his legs and never wins a thing. And fuck Levy too.
Bargaining.....please don't sell him, Daniel; or at least, only for £200m.
Depression......always happens to Spurs; fuck my life.
Acceptance......actually, Danny Ings is really good, you know.

The sad realisation has set in that Levy is gonna spend all summer trying to squeeze an extra 10m from City and we’re gonna be in a mad scramble to assemble some sort of squad as the season starts.

Whoever pays top money and is not Chelsea, foreign team could sell him to our rivals a year or two later anyway.
that's not our problem who they sell him to. He wants to go it's cool. But it should be on our terms not his. No one forced him to sign that contract anyway. set a value say 150 mill up front and get everything sorted early. if no bids come in hes here for the next season.

Fuck football. It’s dying in front of our eyes in real time.

I have two boys under 2 and have been dreaming of taking them to games, just like my dad did with me and my 2 brothers.

We all know how it’s changed in the last 30 years but some things gave me hope it would still remain special.

Harry Kane was probably that biggest hope. We have loved him and watched him grow. We felt like he loved us back. He loved the club as much as we did.

I do not care what anyone says about us ‘letting him down’ or ‘understanding his need for trophies’. It means nothing to me, because quite frankly I now realise WE mean nothing to him.

He is not one of our own. Every word of his song I have screamed in pure passion no longer means what it once did. They are empty moments.

He had the chance to be something TRULY SPECIAL in the modern game. A one club man who meant everything to his club and their fans.

For me, he can rock up at an oil club and win some trophies but it will be soulless. He has sold out when the going got tough. He has left us all to suffer the pain of realising he really wasn’t one of us.

I loved you Harry, but that love is dying fast. I truly didn’t think it would end this way.

So don't sell to teams in the Premiership because it's a problem but if next season RM sells him to Chelsea then that's a no problem?

Bale leaving was so much worse.

For me anyway..

That’s madness. Really?

Kane is a youth product and always professed his love for the club. I knew Bale would always want to leave us when a better offer came along.

I truly and stupidly believed Kane was going to be with us for his whole career as he told us how much he loved the club.

Nope. Bale went abroad and generally went with our good wishes. Kane’s going to strengthen a rival, and what’s more the interview (before two important games) encouraged the chairman to sell him cheap, thus weakening us further. I for one won’t be singing his name when he comes back to the Lane or referring to him as a ‘Spurs legend’ as he collects his umpteenth trophy for Citeh.

We will never be one of the big clubs in England when we still continue to sell our best players to the ‘rival’ clubs we are trying to compete with. Levy will do well to survive this. This is the first time ever that I’ve felt like giving up our season tickets.

I would actually love it if we stopped attending games. I want to hurt ENIC in any way we can and that’s perhaps the only way.

Sadly it goes against everything I believe a fan should be. But fuck it - they are taking our loyalty for mugs and ripping the soul out of our club.

Without Kane we would never have even been in a title race so one can’t be too hard on him IMO. I do however appreciate those who have had enough of him because of the interview etc. Tbh if he leaves I would have preferred we had kept Poch and sold Kane last season. Anyway, no point thinking on the past. Personally I’m going to be really sad to see him leave, he is our only superstar and a Spurs player born and raised. It will take a while to get used to him being at City. I love Son but I wonder if he’s going to struggle without Kane. If he goes, I would also sell Dele and put all my eggs in trying to get Grealish and Lautaro Martinez. It won’t happen but that would be the best of a bad situation. Tbh, I’m extremely worried, if we sell Kane, what we will do with the money. I’m just trying to mentally prepare myself for Ings being our starting forward next season.

Okay, I'm going to try to jump straight to the acceptance stage of grief, so....

Reasons why Harry leaving could be a good thing:

- there will be a lot more money to spend on the desperately needed squad rebuild
- we can focus on being a team again rather than being the Harry Kane team
- we will no longer have to suffer the media trying to transfer Harry Kane away from Spurs every other week
- he had too much influence over decisions that were not his to make
- ever since he first became a one season wonder, there has always been a slight sense of "me" about him that didn't sit comfortably
- his team talks are absolute wank

And, yes, I know that there is an even longer list of reasons why Harry leaving is a terrible thing but I don't want to hear them. I might have jumped to the acceptance stage of grief but I haven't let go of the denial stage yet.

If that happens the booing in the stadium will be so loud they won’t be able to raise the volume of the PA high enough to drown it out.

I agree. I think we need to rebuild without the outside gaze of Kane not winning a trophy off our backs. It feels like an endnote to the squad's cycle and fire cleanses everything so good to time to rebuild with the cash, a new mindset and a new cycle. Hopefully we also sell off a good few others too.
