No i don't think he can't but how long could it take? If we only have 1 season left with him is it worth the gamble or cash in?

I don’t think it’d take too long. Probably should have scored a couple today. It wasn’t only him crowding the space either, we looked much better once we had Perisic and Solomon stretching things too.

Seeing him captaining the team and looking happy is almost too much to bear. I hope there's still a small chance he stays for good.

Or, just a wild thought here, he needs a little time to adapt to not having to do it all himself. Do we really think a player with the ability of Kane wouldn’t fit in a system that creates opportunities?

It's less about whether he would adapt - he absolutely would. But, the drop-off to Richarlison, who plays the role naturally, is going to be much less than people expect.

But he’s regularly turned up when it matters. Look back to May last year and his brace agains the scum got us a huge win catapulting us above them in the league and into the Champions league. That was a huge match against our arch rivals. Battle of the bridge when we were chasing Leicester down he opened the scoring. League cup semi against Chelsea he got the winner in the first leg etc. Granted we underperformed as a collective in the CL final and he was clearly not fit that day, I don’t remember much about the league cup final against Chelsea, but we can’t hand pick massive games and say he didn’t turn up and just ignore other huge matches in which he did. That’s why I’m not buying the “he doesn’t do it in the big games” narrative.

Yes but that is very different than turning up in finals. That’s what the very best do and that is when it truly matters. Take your spurs bias out of it and look at his semi final and final record for England and spurs? If he played for arsenal would you complement his big game ability?
Like I said I love him but speaking objectively is recognising someone’s flaws too

Genuine question though, how many big clubs have allowed their star player to walk on a free whilst still at his peak? We did it once before with Campbell but that was a long time ago. I’m struggling to think of many cases of this happening during the last ten years. Pogba to Juve maybe but that was a mess.

I'm not going to Google to provide answers of specific players.... But I (my opinion only) think we (and I mean Levy) need to start acting like we want to sustain being competitive over a longer period season after season on the pitch rather than on the Year End financial reports.... Not these false dawn's. Where it seems logical (only financially) and acceptable to lose a player like Kane..... I'm perplexed that Levy has turned the fanbase around yet again and will get applauded for getting a transfer fee from abroad, when the reality is, it's his lack of backing magers at the right time and build when we were on the up. That has put Kane in a position that he needs to leave.....not sure that was the answer you wanted Styopa sorry

All the players mentioned played for better teams, with better players, and therefore had far more chances to turn it on in a final. As a random example, I can’t remember a single time Rooney was the big difference in a final, but I can remember him shitting the bed many times. He just played for a better team. If we had a Kane standard player in other positions he’d have a sackful of trophies by now

Haaland did nothing of note in the FA or CL finals but because they're a top team with several world class players they still win those games
I'm so tired with comments about how he should drag us over the line when we played better teams who have several players on his level

Apparently after the trophy ceremony the cameras picked up a conversation between two of our greats:

Tanganga "How can you leave after that"

Kane "I can't...."

Make of it what you will.

Followed by "Kane signs for a Singapore club"

He scores against everyone and has scored in the biggest matches. Just cos he failed to score in a CL final, a Euro Final and a LC Final means nothing. I’m not gonna judge a player on a handful of matches when I saw him carry us through an entire season last season and make huge contributions to almost every league campaign he’s played in.

Consistency over 8 years trumps one game every time for me. People are just hurt he's leaving and dropping the never liked him anyway approach.

Yep that's how a big club would act... As if stated money not an issue and it's clearly not.

A big club wouldn't, a big club would say off you go this club's bigger than any player and this club isn't so weak we desperately want to cling on to him hoping he'll change his mind.

Bigger clubs than us have sold big players too (Torres, Suarez, Coutinho, Henry, Beckham etc).

Letting a player run down his contract is negligence.

This.

It's like the ex that cheated on you when you were head over heels, then you break up and pretend you never really liked her anyway.

I do kind of get it, as it's a natural defence mechanism, but deep down I know 99.9% of Spurs fans, deep down know we would not be better off without Kane.

Even if they can't bring themselves to admit it.

I think it's only in the last few years that players have got wise to running down contracts and scooping massive signing on bonuses'.

Yet Gerard happened to do it against AC Milan, against a much better Arsenal team in an FA cup final as 2 examples. I love Kane so i don't want to it to seem like i am being negative towards him i am not and it is a team game I agree but great players elevate themselves in the biggest games and sometimes, not everytime but sometimes drag there team mates with them and win the biggest games. Kane has never done that and it will hurt him when his playing days are over if he never gets Tottenham over the line for a trophy. I hope he stays with us forever but if he isn't going to sign a new contract get rid now so we can maybe move the rebuild on a bit. Would prefer Kane to the money though every time.

Why care where he goes once he leaves Spurs? We should focus on the players here and not those who have left.
Let go........

I’d say that for 99% of our players but Kane is our record ever club goalscorer so if there is a way to stop him going to a PL rival in future and ideally come back to us instead then I’m all for that.

That's not the true picture and you know it.... The emphasis is.....starting to act like a big club and a big club wouldn't shit themselves, if their world class striker see his contact out...... Has Kane put in a transfer request????? Until he does, I don't by this Tuchel tapping up bullshit, it suits Levy's narrative rather too conveniently

Stuart Pearce the other day say players essentially now have no sell on value because they just look to run their contracts down far more often.

It’s an interesting take.

Lol negligence...... Kane on a free would be way down a long list of negligence concerning spurs and transfer activities...
