Harry Kane

[pablo73]

Man Utd had to sell Ronaldo
Liverpool had to sell Suarez
Arsenal had to sell Henry

All much bigger clubs than us too.

We'll be ok

Did you really just say Arsenal are a much bigger club than us? Brave man

I don't see how fans could be appeased to be honest. Selling possibly our best ever player due to incompetence over 6 years is unforgivable. We should never be in this position but here we are.

There is no silver lining here unfortunately

We can't be, that's why I said "in an attempt to appease". The only way fans will accept it, is if we sign a couple of top CBs and a new striker and come the end of the season we are in the top 4.

I disagree. 100 mill can't buy that many goals. Ange has enough problems to deal with to get this squad firing, better to push the striker problem to next summer. Even if we don't get a fee.

And as a bonus: I think Kane wants to sign a new deal, we just need to give him a good excuse to do it. Play good football and get good results this season, and he'll sign, I'm sure of it.
If we sell him, he's gone for good.

But 100m if it sorts our defence out…. Plus we reinvest on Muani and have a fast front 3 of son Muani Solomon and we press high and fast and pin teams back we can spread the goals out.
Say on average kane gets 25 a season… all we need is Muani to get 15 and maddison to get 10 and we are net equal. Throw in son back to form getting 15-20, solomun getting 10-15, then our other attacking 8s of lo celso, Benta etc getting goals we could easily be up on goals whilst conceding way less and actually controlling games.

Exactly this. Tapsoba, VDV, Muani and I’m happy it’s as good as we can get.
Then if we sell hojberg, Sanchez and a few more we can then sign another attacking winger to bring extra pace and goals.

I agree and I still think we would be better off next season with that money:

We concede for fun and if you can turn Kane money into 2-3 Defenders (or another elite 6) + a ST to challenge/rotate with Richy or a WF so Son can move centrally. I've already seen enough from Ange's system that we will create chances and although we might not have a 30 goal a season player we can still achieve the goals we need.

From what I've seen in preseason so far we'd be on pace to concede more goals than last season lol

I applaud Levy and ENIC for getting him to sign a 6 year deal before, but it's a shame it seems the only way we'll see honest, real investment is with his sale this Summer.

I just don’t see why we need to sell Kane to push through the centre backs we need. They should be coming in no matter what happens with Kane.

Why do we act like we have no money when we are loaded?

We’ll probably replace Kane with a £40m centre back and a £50m striker and many fans will be duped into thinking we’ve done well, when the reality is we should have already spent £40m on the first centre back and £20-30m on a second centre back and then spent the full £100m from the Kane sale on Kane’s replacement.

The only positive for me when Kane’s sale was first made clear was the thought that we could reinvest the money in the squad. But that should have been on top of our existing business, we shouldn’t have been relying on the Kane sale to do the bare minimum we needed to do.

 

[Mr Pink]

Yeah this will get done now.

Might be more haggling over the weekend but he'll be a Bayern player by end of the next week for sure.

 

[13VanDerBale13]

It’s quiet clear to see now everything is on hold, until this mess gets sorted out

 

[Scot-Spur]

We really need another English player to break through. Hopefully Devine o someone. Our English contingent is poor and one of the reason I don’t want Kane to go.

At the time of those sales those clubs had a structure and 2 also had a great manager to go with it. We definitely don't have a structure and jurys out on manager but here's hoping he's a silver lining in our shit hole of a club

This is a straw man argument. Where has there been anything to confirm or state that we have to sell him to sign centre backs?

Nothing to do with the fact he wants to leave? Won’t sign a new contract?

It will be Mikey Moore in a few years.

He will go right to the very top.

It’s completely unacceptable for us to lose Kane for even a cent less than West Ham got for Rice.

I respect everyone has different feelings about this, but I’m not willing to settle for less than £105 million + add ons. Anything less is an insult.

Only if the striker we bring in is the same value as what we sold Kane for. The 2x centre backs should have been brought in regardless of what happens with Kane.

Spending £70m on 2x centre backs and £30m on a striker isn’t enough. It needs to be £70m on 2x centre backs and £100m on a new striker/attacking replacement.

You're going to be disappointed.

 

[Ghost Hardware]

Taking the Kane money and using it on 2 defenders we should be getting regardless if Kane stays or goes will do nothing to make me feel any better. If anything it will irritate me more.

Yes I realise 2 quality defenders are essential and have been for a long while but honestly we all know we have the coin to buy them now if we really wanted them. If Kane leaves then I expect a top shelf forward, I don’t mind if it’s a CF or a WF, and even then I will still be vastly disappointed it’s come to this. Anything else, even if that’s bringing in Tapsoba and VDV, with the money we made from selling Kane will be incredibly frustrating.

 

[Mr Pink]

We'll agree a fee with Bayern, not announce the deal...then buy a CB and another forward...

Then Kane deal is announced

It will be Maddison. Now he's at Spurs he will get more game time for England.
