Harry Kane

[Indacupfortottenham]

They should offer him 500k a week to stay, would be worth every penny of it.

At least people can finally stop talking about when he turns 30 now

He'll be turning 31 soon

This whole “we are losing Kane because of mismanagement” stuff is a bit rubbish.

He has been here way, way longer than most would have been in the modern game. Infact the reason he is still here is because of the huge long contract he signed.

Now I am as far from a BDSOL as you can get, hate what the little twerp is doing to our club, but the reason he has been here so long is actually because Levy tied him into that contract.

Every big club lose their big players at some point. Unless you are Real or maybe City. Ronaldo left United, Liverpool lost Coutinho (bad example but at the time he was their man), would have loose Gerrard had it not been for shady shenanigans. Look at PSG and MBappe. We’ve lost Bale, Berbatov, Modric. Going back further Gazza, Waddle…

Every club loses players, if anything it’s an outlier in todays game that someone so talismanic has stayed at one, pretty under achieving club, for so long.

It’s mismanagement we’ve won sweet FA while Kane has been here. But it’s not mismanagement he’s finally leaving, it’s long over due.

Don’t really agree, If not due to us being mismanaged we could have won something or at least still be competing at the top and that Kane may have already signed a new contract.

The only player you mentioned who’s comparable to Kane is gerrard who’s reason for leaving at the time was the same as Kane due to the team not competing, you think he would have wanted to leave if he’s playing in the current Liverpool side?

Kane isn’t leaving because he wanted to play for another team like Bale or Ronaldo, he’s leaving because he doesn’t believe he can win anything with us anymore and the reason for that is because the team has been trying to play with shoelaces tied together by Levy since 2017.

All this over reports that Bayern are going to make another bid that's likely to fall short of what we want?

No chance they fly over here just to submit a bid which has been circulating in the media and will likely be rejected. I think if this has been arranged for a week or so the plan is to stay for a couple of days until an agreement is reached.

That's largely my frustration. I just want it done now so we can all move on with our lives. I just wish either they offered what we wanted and it was sorted or we put a hard deadline on it.

Sure they would. Largely because these big clubs like City, Bayern, Real, etc. feel clubs like Tottenham are inferior and should give their best players to them at prices below market value. Some clubs might, but we all know Levy and for how much we hate him for his lack of transfers in, he drives an equally hard bargain for clubs trying to buy players off of us. I could see Bayern thinking with all of the media hype and Kane privately giving them the greenlight they will be able to get a lowered price. Same thing happened to City two years ago. Levy won't budge.

Fuck those arrogant pricks. I'd love it if we did a quick deal with PSG now.

So that’s a no on explaining why Kane isn’t likely to age well then?

There is no such thing as a sure thing. Kane is likely to age well because of his game, his fitness and professionalism. Robert Lewandowski (the closest comp globally to Kane) scored 132 goals in his age 30-34 seasons for Bayern. Benzema scored 111 league goals for Real after he was 30. Bayern need an elite forward to compete in Europe and Kane is by far the best option. Like I said, for them it’s a no brainer

Because it’s a scientific fact that physical performance begins to deteriorate from 30. The “type of player” thing is completely irrelevant to that as every player is different. There is just no way of knowing what might happen to his physical condition over a 5 year period.

this is why clubs are normally reluctant to give big contracts to players over 30. And could explain the lack of interest in paying for HK from any other club right now except PSG who obviously work on a different model thanks to Qatari money.

To say that something is “likely” is just ridiculous.

sadly, i believe its more than that.

The meeting today is to finalise the finer details and agree the sale.

The CB we've not signed yet will then follow very soon alongside another player to try to spin it into a more positive narrative.

Its all rather text book at this point imho.

The only potential spanner was Levy either using PSGs interest to bump up the price or if they really wanted Kane, to encourage Kane to consider them over Bayern.

You're forgetting the emojis. We had emojis and then all hell broke loose.

No one knows what they mean, but that doesn't take away from the fact that we had emojis.

In the past we've pretty much always spent the "big sale" money before we confirm the deal, right?

- The Beatles all came in before Elvis left the building.
- Super Pav, Bentley, Gomes + co arrived before Berba was sold.
- We signed Dembele, Verts, and a few others before Modric left.

The sure sign that the Kane deal is done will presumably be when we suddenly put in big bids for Tapsoba/Muani etc? Doubt Levy would want to do it the other way round (although it will be blindingly obvious where the money's coming from ofc).

Smashing post.

The rationalization now is that we'll create more chances than we have been recently, so the poorer finishers we have post-Kane will just recreate him in the aggregate by not being as good but just having many more attempts.

There's lots of assumption in that, and I'll be interested in how patient fans are with Ange. But even using that premise, it's so shitty that we'll relinquish a world class finisher when the footy might become more attacking.

Well done Levy, you bellend, hiring dinosaur managers to play cynical shitball while an awesome spurs-grown finisher is in our ranks.

I blame Levy for a lot of our problems but I can’t understand the blame for Conte. Pretty much everyone on here, in the media and fans of other clubs believed it was a massive coup to get him. Yes it didn’t work out great but at the time it was the right move.

Speak for yourself, some of us knew exactly what it meant

Edit: This is a lie

I wonder what Levy and Dreesen are having for breakfast right now

Unless he does who do you think you are and finds he's actually South Korean

I wondered why there were suddenly a tonne of pages last night. But couldn’t be bothered to go through them all.
