He called everything at the start of the summer, first.

Info has been erratic since and the talk is that he was at HW at the start of the summer but not anymore.
He took training events for tottenham in pre season, later in he has been travelling doing coaching, working as spurs coaches around europe/world.

Hence why his info isn't as reliable, as he won't be around the required personnel.

I know this as i have said before i have met him and he is a decent guy tbf. His training is excellent also 😉, i didn't impress sadly so i retired again

Imagine the lift it would give the club if he signed a short-term contract extension giving us one last opportunity to convince him to see out his career here.

I am going to get pelters for this, but if we ever want Scarlett or Veliz to progress they need to actually play football for us, not just home to Colchester in the league cup.

I don't mind sending one of them on loan, but if either of them stay then we play them. Sick of having 'promising' youngsters in the squad for them not to play any games.

Kane made it by playing almost every uefa cup (early games) and then eventually given a chance by Sherwood.

One of the reasons for getting AP is that he will give youth a chance.

If Kane is sold, Son, Richarlison and Scarlett/Veliz is fine.

As a side note, name a striker who can guarantee 20 goals who is not Kane and Haaland please?

I'd say Son (as CF) or Richarlison have as much chance as anyone.
Kane was 21/22 when he broke out. Scarlett and Veliz are teenagers. Why would they not be loaned a few times when it worked so well with Kane? It's a lot to ask of them so early at this level and to be ahead of Kane in development time.

scarlett is nowhere near ready for a prem first team, he scored 4 goals in league 1 last season, needs another loan

To be fair if Richy’s fitness wasn’t so much of a concern I’d be vaguely ok with this approach although I think Scarlett still needs another loan.

If we were in Europe then something like Richy, Orban and Veliz could be tasty if Kane left but with no Europe that would be overkill assuming Richy actually stays fit .

A 2 year extension would be the sweet spot. Room for Ange and the team to grow, not as much speculation/pressure next year, and assuming Ange is a hit plenty of room for renegotiation

Unless anyone has regularly watched Rosario Central or Portsmouth last season, it's basically just blind hope based on a nice finish vs Shakhtar or YouTube clips.

What Ange decides to do with the players will be what matters. If he thinks they're ready - great - keep them around. If not, let's get them some minutes on loan..

I was a matching going fan.... Gave up my ST in the North Upper a long time ago, various reasons came into that decision. But they way Levy and ENIC run the club for me was the tipping point... Losing the likes of Modric and Bale and Levy/ENIC prioritising balancing HIS/their the books, should serve as lesson to all.... a leopard never changes his spots. We won't get near to having a player like Harry ..... I'd rather not be in the stadium if this is what (in your opinion) match going fans want 😭
I know it’s OT for this thread but are you seriously re-writing history that Levy sold Modric and Bale to get the £££ rather than the club rejecting multiple (good) bids from Prem teams to keep them longer than they both wanted until both players forced their way out to the highest profile overseas club in the world…

On Kane I would rather we keep him so I can enjoy cheering him each week. Would always take proven quality players over money and potential any day
