Harry Kane

[robotsonic]

Absolutely devastated. We’re all soon going to find out how much we took Kane for granted.

I don't think we did though. We all know we've been living off of his goals for years.

 

[Ruffinthepuffin]

This is a joke. Be prepared for the “squad is too bloated, can’t buy until there are outgoings” talking point after Kane leave.

We will try our hardest to sign players but the transfer window will run out. Levy will pen a letter to fans saying he did everything he could.

This club is a farce.

This is 100% my fear if I’m honest.

 

[cjbyid]

He owes us absolutely nothing at the end of the day.

Sounds like he wanted to go in the end so why stand in his way?

Time for a new era.

 

[Harryson]

Absolute pleasure watching Kane from his first game to his last. No one saw this coming and he was not just good. He was pure world class.

Are we better with him? Of course we are but he walks next season and made it clear he would not sign a new contract so selling him now is the best of all the bad options available.

Now we back the manager and any new players coming in. Regardless of Kane leaving. Next season is still going to be better and more entertaining than the crap we have had to watch for the past two.

The irony is, without Kane, we will probably end up winning a cup this season!

 

[Lou3000]

I guess the good news is that we won't have to see him every week when he goes.

He'll be banging in goals that no one in England will see.

He'll be wearing a pair of Skechers that no one will buy.

He'll lift the trophy that Hojberg already won 2 times with Bayern, and he'll likely go out in the round of 16 of the Champions League.

He'll just be another goal scorer not named Alan Shearer, remembered along with other good goal scorers on the list like Jermaine Defoe.

He'll probably be in Augsburg in front of 20k people when his kid is born in London.

He'll never hear "He's One of Our Own Again."

 

[wiggo24]

Gutted. Like Ange but I feel less affinity towards this club than I have at any point since I starting supporting them.

Just want Levy out. He’s ruined everything I used to love about the club in pursuit of financial gain.

 

[XIIIMPC]

Harry came through the ranks and he was ours.

Berbatov, Modric, Bale weren’t ours.

That’s why it hits so hard.

Kane isn't to be compared to them either, his conduct has been vastly different. Berbatov agitated for a move within minutes of arriving. We resisted selling Modric for like one summer. Bale leaving was an inevitability.

Kane could have gone to any club in the world as early as like 2017 and didn't agitate for a move for a long time, and even then he never did anything truly shitty like threaten to strike or bitch and moan about it in the press. I don't have a lot of time for Berbatov because he so clearly saw us as a stepping stone. It was never less than a transactional relationship.

The club has failed Kane. It hurts, but I'm angry at the club for wasting an all-time talent - not the player for wanting away from a club on a 4-year decline.

 

[Timberwolf]

Son should be club captain by every single metric, imo

Ange has said how massively Son's loved and respected throughout the group and he'd be our most senior first team player in terms of appearances. Pretty certain it will be him.

Longer term I like the idea of Maddison being captain - he speaks so well and seems to have really matured these past few years - but if Kane goes I have little doubt it will be Son.

 

[JUSTINSIGNAL]

I’m clearly in the minority, but I’m actually chuffed if he goes there at this point.

We need a massive reset, massive reset. It’s a new era, new team, new ideas.

He is having minimum 2 years over there, so we don’t have to go through the pain of him lining up against us. He’ll win the league but it’s hollow as anything out there with them. Insignificant league so we will barely hear about him past October

Sad to see him go, would have been amazing if he had signed forever but he clearly never intended to.

Onwards and Upwards, COYS forever.

I wouldn’t say I’m ‘chuffed’ - I’m actually gutted - but I’m definitely looking forward to getting behind a young team and a new manager again, without the cloud of ‘Kane needs to leave to win trophies’ hanging over us

I feel we’re gonna surprise a lot of people this season. It’s going to be satisfying making progress when most expect us to sink without Kane.

 

[Ghost Hardware]

Don’t worry Brennan Johnson will be here soon.

Thanks bud, you just made me spill some of my whiskey .

 

[Stoof]

This is basically the culmination of Levy and his board’s absolute mismanagement of the club from 2018 onwards.

They have failed to build a team around our best ever player and have wasted the last 3 years of his talent by failing to have any strategy for the football team. It’s hugely depressing as a fan to see a player who is one of us throw his hands up and say ‘fuck this!’, especially for the Bundesliga.

There are many I know who feel this is necessary and will help us on our way to a new, exciting chapter. Turning the page on the frustration of the last 3-4 years.

All I will say is the heart of our team has just been ripped out, along with a huge number of goals. No manner of clever scouting or young prospects will come close to replacing that.

We’re in for a rocky ride.

But a system can. One that makes us better than the sum of our parts. Which is what Poch did with us. And what made it so great.

That’s where I’m at.

 

[Sandro30]

4 year deal.

 

[Reece_Spurs]

Absolutely devastated. We’re all soon going to find out how much we took Kane for granted.

We will, but it's also something we should have planned for and had in place 3 years ago.

Things like this and not getting in suitable quality in positions we've needed for years is the literal reason Kane is going.

I'm shocked we've managed to keep him until the age of 30.

Harry came through the ranks and he was ours.

Berbatov, Modric, Bale weren’t ours.

That’s why it hits so hard.

Yeah - I find it strange that some people don’t see this. But then everyone’s different.

 

[Ghost Hardware]

Here We Go is going to be painful this time even tho it’s been coming and I’m glad it’s over.

 

[Scot-Spur]

4 year deal.

He will be back in England by the time he is 33. He will also go on to be record goalscorer.

 

[RuskyM]

Harry came through the ranks and he was ours.

Berbatov, Modric, Bale weren’t ours.

That’s why it hits so hard.

Ours wouldn’t have pushed for a move. Twice.

 

[Joely]

Seems to be edging to being done and unfortunately this has been on the cards for a while now. Once it was clear Kane would not be signing a contract, there was no way Levy was going to be OK with him going for free, especially to another team in the league.

Would not be surprised at all if he had instructed Zahavi a while back to sound out interested parties abroad once it was clear to him Kane was not going to sign a contract. Then the usual pantomime we see when we lose a star player where all the involved parties are doing their best to come out of it smelling of roses through the media.

As for the rebuild, struggling to be overly bothered or excited with what we do because ultimately we'll run into the same problems when it dawns upon on our next star that we can't compete under these owners so he looks to move and rinse and repeat.

Poch still had H.

That system is going to have to score a lot of goals.

 

[rebrab]

If Kane is going as it appears, no anger should be directed at him IMO. He’s the best striker in the world and he’s stayed loyal and professional (bar some press antics the Man City summer) while we’ve had multiple horrible seasons of horrible football. And he’s going to a foreign club and avoiding a rival.

The blame isn’t with him, it’s on bad decisions made by the club starting with the sale of Walker and transferless summer many years ago.
