Harry Kane

[The Apprentice]

It’ll be a gutting day for us all but seems sadly inevitable.

Good luck on us recruiting the requisite calibre replacements with no Europe and no Kane as a tempter. We’ll be having to take chances on potential and hope Hitchen can spot the good ones.

It’s going be a difficult couple of years.

 

[McFlash]

Well, this is shaping up to be the shittest last day of the season for a while.
I was looking forward to getting back to my local for it, now, not so much.

 

[danielneeds]

If we sell him to United. I just give up. Think time to send ST back after 20 years.

To be honest we need to string one of United or Chelsea along even Kane wants to go to City. If City are the only horse in the race they will try to squeeze the price down in the way that Bayern do in Germany. We need United to get involved to prick City’s ego a bit.

 

[wrd]

I think if H goes, we'll see Hugo and Son moving.

If that were to happen then the new manager would already deserve a statue for taking on a challenge of this magnitude

 

[Meercat]

When he goes, you don’t bring him back. He’s made a choice of chasing trophies over those legends records, that has to be a choice he lives with, not one where he gets to have the best of both worlds. I have no particular hopes that he gets his PL title or his CL title - he could have had both with us, we didn’t fail him, we were brilliant. He talks about not wanting to regret anything, well, that record I think might be one thing he’d truly regret as until him everyone pretty much thought it an unbreakable total from Greavsie, and it was there in his hands, two years from now he’d have it, still not be thirty and could move anywhere in the world cemented forever as the king of white hart lane. But doing a Sherringham or now a Bale, it’s never the same, and I’d be a bit gutted to be honest if our record became an end of career ‘bonus’

But City won't be successful in doing this with Levy.

Replacing the best striker AND playmaker in the league when in the Europa Conference League.

Yeah - not going to happen.

What ever United agree, offer him to City for 10% less. Selling to United will also make me really angry with Kane, that interview with Neville will no longer be an interview for me.

Honestly if we sell to anyone other than City, Levy needs to walk. We won't win the title so selling to City doesn't affect us, however selling to Ubited will put them close to City and arguably out of our reach, couple with Chelsea and Liverpool and we can kiss goodbye to champions league for the foreseeable.

Also if Kane goes to United I hope they win fuck all, detest the club they built their dominance on scooping up the best talent from Premier League clubs. We are going g to be the club to bend over and let them get back to the top.

Lets not forget if it wasn't for United arsenal would have another 4 PL titles

 

[Saoirse]

Well, everyone in hear was demanding we listened to Poch and embarked on a painful rebuild, here it is!

 

[Lo Amo Speroni]

I hereby give notice of my resignation from the board of BSoDL.

 

[Fredo]

Won't forgive him if he goes to united or chelsea

 

[SpartanSpur]

If we sell to Utd while they still have that caretaker PE teacher in charge I'm done with football. We fought for so long to get into a position to be considered rivals with them this would set us back 10-15 years. They couldn't even make it out of their CL group this season FFS.

I'd lose respect for Kane too. City guarantees trophies and personal success for him, Utd simply doesn't. I think most would begrudgingly accept him going there, but there alone.

Chelsea would put Kane on level footing with Sol and we'd have to burn Levy's precious stadium to the ground.

I'm taking JJs ITK as confirmation he is desperate to leave and that the club has a price. Whether someone meets that price is a different story. Sounds like it could get messy.

 

[austinfh]

I think wd have to realize Kane has an unrequited love right now. He is country over club and always has been to the detriment of his club. He ADORES England yet is outright despised by everyone but Spurs fans for the sole reason he is Spurs. So by leaving he’ll probably win some trophies but he cares more about being loved by supporters of the national team.

Yeah, I just don’t think, in spite of United probably winning the Europa this season, that they’re actually that good or have noticeably bigger chances of winning the biggest trophies than us. I can’t see them winning a PL or CL any time soon

 

[Goofster]

Kane is a fantastic player breaking all sorts of records but it's been really obvious his head hasn't been in it for quite some time, he's just not looking happy and enjoying the football. I would be surprised if he doesn't go this summer to be honest. There obviously never is a perfect timing for a player of Harry's level of skill to leave the club but maybe, just maybe, with us seemingly needing a major squad overhaul it might be a reasonable time for him to leave. It's all gonna come down to the way the club handle the situation. We need a mix of ready made players and highly rated prospects to come in, not decent level players like when we sold Bale, the style of football we want to play should obviously be the biggest factor as to what we recruit. It's not totally unheard of that selling your best player can improve the team with the right recruitment strategy. Harry has scored a massive amount of goals for us but he's also held us back in terms of recruiting strikers, anyone coming in knowing the minutes and starts they would get would be very limited not only because Kane is one of the best strikers in the world but also because he seems to believe that he never needs a rest, he's been playing for himself for quite some time with individual awards being his clear target all the time. If we could get in one established reliable goal scorer and a couple of young talented strikers with good records from lower leagues I'm not sure we would be any worse off really. Adding to that the fee a player like Kane would attract might even be enough to fix even more holes in the squad. It's all in the hands of the club now and I'm obviously not wanting Kane to leave but I'm also not convinced that him leaving would be as devastating for the club as some people try to make it out to be.

Depends what Kane is prepared to do to force the move. We really can’t risk this dragging on all summer. It would be almost a disaster for the new coach trying to set their stall out.

 

[St José Dominguez]

If we do sell him I hope we manage to shift a large number of the deadwood too. £150m is absolutely nowhere near enough to rebuild our current team and squad. We will be taking out of our team a world class striker and world class number 10 in one swoop selling Kane. It would cost virtually £150m just to remain close to what we are now. To progress and really start regularly competing again we need near enough an entirely new back 4 and another CM, squad options too without replacing what Kane offers us.

 

[yankspurs]

Yeah, I just don’t think, in spite of United probably winning the Europa this season, that they’re actually that good or have noticeably bigger chances of winning the biggest trophies than us. I can’t see them winning a PL or CL any time soon

But what better way to get everyone to love you? They’ve got a massive support base in england. And they’ve got a ton of money with desperate to be loved owners. A desperate to be loved by his country top player with a desperate to be loved owner who also owns said players idol’s nfl team. Makes sense he’d want United

 

[dagraham]

United doesn't guarantee trophies

Where has all this guaranteed trophies come from? The only thing guaranteed in life is death and taxes.

If Kane wanted guarantees he would have asked to leave several years ago. He didn’t, because he still believed that we could at least compete for the big trophies and had a decent chance of winning something.

We’re going backwards fast. Even Stevie Wonder can see it.

City obviously is the best choice for him, but he’s far more likely to compete at Utd than us. Anyone who doesn't think they are a step up from us is deluded.

 

[Ledders Army]

Pep is very smart. Saw Spurs on an upwards trajectory and challenging when he first arrived so he took Walker now he wants to completely demolish any hope by taking Kane a few years later. Actually hate City more than most on here tbh.

But Pep was so against the ESL because football is nothing without competition. Surely he wouldn't just go around buying his rivals best players?

We’d be foolish to try and replace Kane with someone of Kane’s calibre - simply because there is no one. Who’s on the same level? Lewandowski? Haaland? Neymar? They’d cost the entire fee we receive for Kane and more.

Next level down you’ve probably got the likes of Lukaku, Griezmann, Benzema - again, not happening.

There are older quality options like Zlatan, Cavani, Aguero, but they would very much be stop gaps.

Best thing we could do is replace Harry with a decent enough striker or two, accepting they won’t be on his level, and spend the rest of the money improving the players behind them.
