I have no problem with the Statement from the Board...has to be fairly business-like and has to mention the transfer was not our choice.
Levy let Harry down though with the "Gentleman's Agreement" and he was never going to sign anything new. £100 mil is the best way out and DL has managed to get that.

I guess more tourists = more club shop spending but just to be accurate, the club don’t make money from the ticket exchange on a ticket per ticket basis. The ridiculous booking fee goes to ticket master.
Terrible way to describe fans, they are not lesser fans than you. What make you more special than those you describe “tourists” is that new way of insulting fans. Every person in stadium got the right to be called fan and respected you are not better

Am I the only one who thinks it’s obvious that the club would mention trying to keep Harry and him wanting a new challenge in the leaving message? I mean we can’t be seen to be letting our record goalscorer (and one of our greatest ever players) walk away without a fight?

I acknowledge Levy’s absolute failure on the football side in recent years (he failed the whole club not just Kane btw), but I don’t think this message is something to attack him over.

I think he’d be getting pelters if he didn’t mention trying to keep him and treated this as a normal sale.
100%. We are all hurting right now and I can totally understand wanting to lash out at Levy. But surely we can't just wish him well and act like we didn't try and keep him??!! That would look weird and small time.

Felt gutted to see the official statement this morning but we have to pick ourselves and move on. Big game tomorrow.

Yeah, you're right. The ridiculous takes are wearing thin but now isn't the time. having said that, if people want to distract from their hurt they should stick pins into their testicles.

Yeah, stick pins in your testicles...


Lend me a pin ffs!

Look at the message I was responding to before getting on your high horse.

But in any case, we do now attract literal tourists. Not even people who claim to be fans, just people are in London and want to experience a PL. I’ve done it myself in lots of cities. I’ve been on stag dos to the Nou Camp and random NFL games in NYC. I’ve been a complete tourist.

The club can’t win, the same people would have moaned that we didn’t try hard enough to keep him if it wasn’t spelt out in black and white in the statement.

What annoys me - if we were pretty sure he was going to be leaving as everyone is making out - why on earth did we waste our entire pre-season with him in the team? We should have been using the pre-season to try new combinations. Very frustrating.

If we were Liverpool or United, there’d be protests in the street within the next hour.

Instead we’ll all sit online while a small band of Stockholm Syndrome freaks who walk among us fellate our little bald overlord for securing what’s actually a really good business deal when you think about it.

Wankers all.

Because we didn't know Bayern would get to £100 mil.

in case you are totally ignorant of the fact you can’t buy ticket unless you are a member very few games go out to general sale. Yes you can get few tickets from travel agents but it’s on par with expensive package which done by every club in PL, if you refer to Korean fans which ppl like mock they are no lesser fan then you and me. Stop calling fans tourists end of

The tour sponsors money , they want the top stars playing to sell tickets , merchandise etc. As Roma found out no tour sponsor money and you go home.
