Lost a little bit of love for football tonight. If the 9th richest club in the world can't keep its world beating local lad then what's the point?

Paying over a grand to watch 11 millionaires from all over the world kick a ball about was much more palatable when the main man was a guy from up the road.

Soulless now just like the rest of this league.
Amen.

One positive, or Atleast I’m taking it as a positive. Levy got most of the cash up front which means we should be able to pay larger sums up front which appeal to clubs.

Over to you, the genius, highest paid, charge highest ticket prices, cleverest, most astute Football Club Chairman Mr. Daniel Levy. 3 weeks to sort out this mess of a bloated, I'll considered and inadequate squad.

I guess the good news is that we won't have to see him every week when he goes.

He'll be banging in goals that no one in England will see.

He'll be wearing a pair of Skechers that no one will buy.

He'll lift the trophy that Hojberg already won 4 times with Bayern, and he'll likely go out in the round of 16 of the Champions League.

He'll just be another goal scorer not named Alan Shearer, remembered along with other good goal scorers on the list like Jermaine Defoe.

He'll probably be in Augsburg in front of 20k people when his kid is born in London.

He'll never hear "He's One of Our Own Again."
Should pin this somewhere
Can we pin it in Bayern's changing room.

There’s not enough alcohol in the world this weekend to watch Kane holding up another teams shirt and Poch applauding the Stamford Bridge home end

Wow. I’m not looking on Spurs Twitter for a while. It’s even more raw than here!

Well now. Even I didn't have us selling H on the eve of the season. lol, lmao even. This f'ing club.

At least it's to Bayern. About the least upsetting options out there of the "big clubs" and not to the prem - for now at least. Out of sight, out of mind.

To have had one of if not the best striker on the planet throughout his prime and come up empty is disappointing to say the least. What a missed opportunity to put this club on the map in the modern era.

Now lets go and sign 2 or 3 totally inadequate and ridiculously overpriced players with the money as is tradition!

Don't feel too bad. Poch is definitely getting sacked from that job somewhere between 6 and 18 months from now.

Can't help you on Kane though.

Might have to take this off my wall, but it’s clear Sonny has been carrying him for years!

I really don't think this is the end of the world mate, completely 100% get you and others frustration and sentiment and it is shit seeing Kane go because of the poor decisions that led to this but this summer and with the appointment of Ange and more recently with Paratici's recruitment we have got a lot right.

Perhaps this is the final part of the what has been excruciatingly painful rebuild and now we can move on to an entirely new and fairly exciting chapter under Ange.

I think we are 4 signings (CB,CM,RW,ST) away from giving Ange possibly the strongest all-round squad we've had in the PL in terms of strength in depth and I'd like to hope with the Kane money we will get at least 3 of these as per a lot of ITK and reports with regards to Kane sale plans.

I think lessons have been learnt by Levy and co as to why we have basically failed Kane but we are making the most of the situation right now and I do really think we can come out stronger in a different way now.

Its sickening seeing Kane leave and people are rightfully emotional and upset right now but this is not me just being positive for positives sake, I genuinely think we will be ok and am still very excited about an entirely new chapter under Ange post-Kane.
Amongst all the doom and gloom this is the most uplifting post of the day. Well done.

We’ve got one of our strongest squads (as we hear every time we buy a few players), albeit we’re just about to flog an irreplaceable player who alone can catapult us up the league.

Levy has learned more lessons. Again? Just means we’ve learnt nothing.

I don't really get why the fee keeps getting quoted as "£86m/€100m +" in a lot of UK outlets, when if you look at the fee across the press, anyone who gives any detail says it's €120m package (€100+20 add-ons) - particularly the German media who have no reason to inflate the fee. Particularly when the reporting since the weekend was that our problem was those add-ons needed to be easily achievable/practically guaranteed.

Surely it should be reported more as a £104m/€120m transfer in headlines as this is how most transfers are quoted?

Sell him early for less than he's worth = fucking hell Levy selling our best ever asset for cheap
Sell him late = fucking hell Levy disrupting our season to get extra money
Make him stay and he walks for free next summer = fucking hell Levy how can you let our best ever player leave on a free after what happened with Sol Campbell

Who's fault is it for us being in this dire situation to begin with? Maybe Kane would have wanted a new challenge regardless – thats a possibility – but i can't help but think that he would have been happy to stay if we had shown some more ambition on the football side of things.

Do you agree with the notion that this should have been done with a lot sooner so that we could have had the best start to the season possible with Ange?
