Harry Kane

[yido_number1]

That's why I said if its done but it seems to be the consensus, at the moment anyway.

Sad state of affairs if so.

Money always more important to Levy and ENIC. They can point to the stadium etc but their greatest legacy will be failing to satisfy and then selling a generational talent - one of our own.

 

[Dougal]

The part that will annoy me the most is we’ll probably spend a chunk of money on some replacement that I hadn’t heard of 5 minutes ago and a load of people will have moved on already. I envy them. I’m already regretting renewing because things have not been right for a long time and now for a while, they’ll feel worse. So important to hit the ground running and yet Levy has done everything to ensure we don’t. Again.

 

[WiganSpur]

He didn’t want to be here and the chances of him renewing were extremely slim. So I’m relieved. Just a shame it’s happened so late but other than that it’s one of the better outcomes given the situation.

 

[Teddy Klinsmann]

Kane although a generational talent has pushed for this move for 2+ years now. He’s always been a model professional but the city debacle felt like he was just going through the motions with us last few years. By all accounts in media and ITK there was nothing the club could do to convince him to stay and sign a new deal.

Is there a real point to even following this ambitionless club at the prices they charge

may just go and start watching Leyton Orient or something until Levy goes

wonder what he feels. Rich but utterly hated

 

[samspurs92]

If we knew the money was going to be spent well, it would be easier to take.

We don’t even know if the money is going to be spent, let alone spent well.

That’s not true

there was plenty of commentary about potentially signing a deal if meaningful progress under Ange was made

small % chance but well above the zero you imply

 

[Dave1882]

Been said a thousand times on here, so why not sound like a broken record. The timing totally fucks us, spend all pre-season with Kane as focal point only to sell him 48hrs before first game. I didn’t want him to go but if this was always likely to happen, I wish Ange had been able to only work with players that he’d actually have to use during the season

 

[mattspur1986]

The very words I was going to type. This club has been stripped of its real assets in favour of some glossy brochure version of what business men think a football club is. Whenever we get close to getting back to what we want Levy rips out the guts again. He’s a fucking masochist.

thus 100% and he will STIILL have people bakc him and say, well he had to sell him! Bollocks to that! He saw a way to make money again! The cretinous fuck!

 

[Teddy Klinsmann]

Anyone else just glad it’s over now?

 

[DarwinSpur]

define quickly lol, This has been going on all summer

It only started when Bayern got serious about meeting our valuation. The delay was all on their end in that respect.

Once they got serious it took the amount of time you'd expect.

 

[HildoSpur]

I love Kane but I love Spurs more. I wish him all the best at Bayern. Ok it's a weaker league but Bayern are one of the great clubs in Europe.

As for Spurs, this is the club's fault for overseeing the shambles of the last three years. They need to wake up and smell the coffee. If losing Kane doesn't do that then nothing will.

I believe in Ange, give him what he needs and let's start a new chapter in the club's history.

 

[Dougal]

He’s not the only one.

Thanks for everything H. Bloody Legend.

Maybe, but you got the impression after having 3 managers in 3 seasons he wasn’t ready for another project. Ange will hopefully get it right but it will prob require patience and unlikely to see any tangible success in short term. Kane knows that time isn’t on his side if he wants to challenge for titles etc.

Would have screwed us over from a financial standpoint, which at the end of the day, is all that really matters to this clubs owners.

 

[Sarsipius]

People laughed when I said he's the best finisher I've seen at Spurs in my years of following Tottenham (going on 38+ now).

I still maintain that. Absolutely class player who got to where he is with sheer determination to work hard and improve. A real inspiration to everyone around him. Sure he missed goals in big games but the volume scored is an incredible legacy which we can all be proud to have witnessed.

He cost us nothing. Scored more goals than anyone else for us and left us with 100m to spend.

Nice one H. You're a true legend mate.

 

[Mattyhp]

Anyone else just glad it’s over now?

100% I think when the dust settles, most will be relieved that it’s done and we can just get on with the season under a progressive coach. Love the guy but we didn’t achieve anything with him, so don’t get the assumption from most fans/pundits that we are somehow doomed without him!

 

[WiganSpur]

Meanwhile, Liverpool just bid 100m for Caicedo having spent 100m already on Szozbolai and MacAllister to completely revamp their midfield, whilst we need to sell our best player to bring in another decent defender.

We’re not selling him because we need the money we’re selling him to prevent him moving to a rival on a free transfer and have the best possible chance of strengthening the team around him. If it was the first reason we’d have sold him to City 2 years ago. Liverpool sold Mane, Chelsea sold Hazard etc etc. My issue is how late it’s been done.

I really don’t believe he would have stayed CB or not only a top 4 and trophy would have maybe done it and in Ange’s first season with all the will in the world that feels unlikely.

 

[mattspur1986]

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.

And people will lap it up and agree.
