How's Miami Daniel

will Smith predicted Trixs negotiations with the Kane camp:
Everyday like a mardi gras, everybody party all day
No work all play, okay
So we sip a little something, lay to rest the spill
Me an Charlie at the bar runnin' up a high bill

Getting close to Chelsea-length contracts today.

Wonder if it's related to FFP? I know fuck all about it anyway.

 

[muppetman]

Another slow look up from the floor!!!!!!


Welcome to our new Mate drinking superstar!

 

[IfiHadTheWings]

The best sort of signing. One we have never heard of.

Obviously he is a more talented cross between Messi and Batistuta

With the industry of Crespo and the flair of Maradona.

another 6 year deal, wonder whether we are getting these in now before the changes in amortisation or whether i've just made that up.

The rule already changed but you can still sign players for as long as you want.

What you can't do is amortise a deal over longer than 5 seasons now (which is how Chelsea were trying to game the system).

THE ORIGINAL BOMBAZO.

That is the best bit of lawyering you've ever done, Stoof. ;-)

If that video involves him sitting on a chair, staring at the ground, and slowly looking up towards the camera I'M GOING TO FUCKING SHOOT SOMEONE

I'm not going to watch it, because I bloody know it will

p.s. delighted with the signing, great stuff

Vicario, VDV, Laporte and Maddison would broadly upgrade all areas that were weak...... then selling Kane gives a new massive hole (Don't tell me Richie fills it).

Turn down the offers, keep him, see what happens.

I don't think scoring goals will be a problem for us, even with Kane gone (though obviously I want him to stay!). We have plenty of goals in our team, without Kane, we will be less reliant on one target man. We also have Maddison who will no doubt get many assists and goals himself. Our problem is and has been for many years, conceding goals. So upgrade the centre backs, we are - IMO - already a better team, even sans Kane.

 

[jonnyp]

I wouldn't go for Fati. No matter how far medical practices have advanced, he's still missing an important part of his knee.

Yeah, he hasn't looked anywhere near as good as what he did at his peak before injury.

No matter how you dress it up we're better with Kane. We will need to score 3 or 4 goals a game this year to win with the style of play. Even with other defenders we will concede chances. No one else in the squad is any where near kane for chance conversion.

Spoiler alert; He does look up, but doesn’t smile, and instead flips the bird.

Two signings on a Tuesday! “Terrific Tuesdays”?

I disagree. We have become the 'Harry Kane Team'. Because everything goes through him. We need to be a team. Without Kane, others will need to step up, it will be about the team, not one individual. As good as he is, one man isn't enough to win trophies. Let's put it this way, we CAN become a much better team without Kane.

Well you can dress it up as much as you like , but replacing 25-30 goals a season . Who’s going to score these goals ?? Richie? Doubt it and with his injury record could he play 30 plus games and score many goals ?? And what if Son can’t get his form back of 2 seasons ago ??

Anyone believing we are not going to miss Kane and be able to score more goals without him is delusional

You're making lots of 'what ifs'. IMO, Son will have a great season. If we concede less goals than last season (one of the worst in the PL), we may not need as many goals (in theory). His goals will be spread throughout the team, and under I'm a hipster ball, more players will get the opportunity to score. Of course we will miss Kane, but we will miss one man getting most of the goals, we won't miss him if the goals are shared. IMO, we will be just fine. In the long run, we will be a better team.

Please stop saying ange- ball

 

[mark67spurs]

It's not only Harry's goals we will miss, he is everywhere on the pitch, the total heartbeat, defending corners, breaking down attacks, dropping back in the middle to start attacks, he is absolutely massive for our team. Under Ange and his style he would probably score more goals and not break his balls every game doing it, his presence on the pitch will be the biggest thing to lose. Give him the fucking keys to White Hart lane to keep him.

 

[longtimespur]

Please stop saying ange- ball

OK. Let's call it Postecoglou-ball

 

[anydange]

Being linked with players like Fati only proves to me that the board have no intention of properly replacing Kane if we sell him. Extremely underwhelming.

 

[dovahkiin]

Would be a great signing for us, we are 100% interested.
