Kind of mad that Spurs have had arguably their best ever player in their squad for 10 years and have absolutely nothing to show for it.
Harry Kane | Bayern Munich player
- Thread starter LawCharltonBest
- Start date
Can't really separate him from that entirely though
Yeah, it reeks of small-time mentality. Desperately clinging on to to a player that is going to leave for free next year. Scared to imagine a future without him, even though you've won feck all with him in the team. Telling one of your greatest ever players that his loyalty is worth jack shit. Having no interest whatsoever in the personal career goals of one of your finest servants. All very small-time.Yeah keeping our best players is 'very small time' is it? I guess if we sold our best players that then would make us a bigger club or something by that logic?
what a take that is wow ok. I find it incredible how many opposition fans care so much about Kane's career and go on and on about it. It's very caring of you all I gotta say as I know you just want the best for him of course. I'm a Spurs fan, not a Kane fan. Maybe you guys should remember that - club comes first, players second.Surely it'd be even smaller mentality to let him go for a reasonable fee.
You're talking as if this is Scholes at 39 asking to be released to go play for Oldham for a season.
its their star striker and best player.
Mbappe has said he'd like to play off a striker like Kane, not sure Kane would want to go to PSG though but it could be a lethal combo.
United, Bayern, Madrid PSG could all do with Kane, he could even go abroad for a year or two but Levy would still want a huge fee so it seems like he's stuck.
It's a shame Levy can't look back at the service Kane has given and with a year left grant him to leave for ~100m and allow a move to a PL rival. He has every right to hang onto Kane, try to convince him to re-sign if there's less options next summer and play on the Spurs legend rebuild thing.
Kane signed for 6 years when he had all the power to sign for 3-4 years and Levy would've snapped his hand off, or even have clauses in the contract.

I agree with your points in general, but don’t you see a scenario where this treatment of Kane (supposedly not honouring a gentleman’s agreement, refusing to let him leave etc) will make other players think twice about signing for Tottenham, or refusing contracts without release clauses, or otherwise preventing Tottenham to do what they did a decade ago, which was to buy up-and-coming players who could help the club in the short to medium term while the club builds itself back up to a consistent top four status?
He's got a year left on his contract and will leave for free next summer anyway!
He ends up a United player. Lets be positive
We did not refuse to let him leave - we did not receive an offer which Levy felt was acceptable - this is very different. According to some in here though we should have sold him for less than we felt he was worth because he is such a great player for us or something.
And what's best for the club is to cash in while you still can.
Or what is best for the club is to have one of the best strikers on the planet in our team which gives us a much better chance of success in the next season than without him? We made a total balls of the Bale money, what makes you think we wouldn't do the same with 100m from Kane sale?
one of the best strikers in the world means nothing if the rest of your squad is shit.
Yeah, great success it will be to scrap a top 4 place if lucky.
True but it does end up looking like Shearer's time at Newcastle. Great player but clearly could have achieved much more at a different club.
Maybe Kane's happy with that as his legacy, but unless he leaves Spurs, you're likely looking at a trophy-less career. He's a better player than that, by far.
You've had zero success with him over the past 10 years, and with much better squads/managers, why would next year be any different?
I think the golden plaques he gave to everyone in the England camp tells you what he cares about.
So how come he's still at Spurs then even though he wanted to leave? Keeping him and letting him leave on a free next summer is baffling.
We didn't refuse to let him leave, we just asked 500M for him
I mean, last season he had his best ever goalscoring return in the league for you and you finished the lowest you've ever finished in the league with him as a full starter.
Where would we have been without him? Probably down with Everton fighting relegation. I don't think you fully appreciate just how important he is to the club.
If City had paid us £150m he would be their player now.We didn't refuse to let him leave, we just asked 500M for him
Where will you be next year when he leaves for free, surely its better to take £100m now to help replace him
Depends really. You only really need a c. 20 goal striker to get top 4.
It's possible he signs a new contract if we have a good season - this is what the club is banking on I think. Kane loves the club and has always said he would stay there his whole career if he felt the club was moving the right direction - if we can do well next season then every chance he stays - if he goes then fair enough but like I've said in other posts (again and again) I'd much rather he stay one last season even if that means he goes for free. For those crying about how dumb I am because of the money Spurs would lose out on - why the feck would I as a fan care about that? I'm not the club accountant! We are one of the richest clubs in the world even though it doesn't feel like it.
If Kane signs a new deal id actually crease up. Imagine doing that to yourself.
I know earning probably 300k per week at least at the club you support much be AWFULIf Kane signs a new deal id actually crease up. Imagine doing that to yourself.
If Kane signs a new deal id actually crease up. Imagine doing that to yourself.
Would be Stockholm syndrome at that point.

I wouldn't be surprised. Top players dont always have the winning mentality.
Example: Ruben Neves at 25 going to Saudi
Different players have different priorities, Kane's is Spurs.
Who's talking about a reasonable fee? Something in the region of £100 million would be record breaking for someone with only a year left on their contract?
Which boys did you invite to this massage?Ps: See you tommorow boys, last massage for today
This right here is small-time mentality. You would take one final mediocre season with Kane rather than believe that with a new manager, plus an extra £100 million on top of whatever the current budget is, you could possibly do better than scrape into the Europa League places.
Hazard went for that with one year left only a year or two ago and Kane is a better player.
you are so ridiculous honestly.What sort of an argument is this? May as well shut the club down and let everyone leave for free in that case.
So does that mean Spurs need to stop spending money because one time they messed up with 100m?
No it's that MY trust in them with that sort of money is zero. This is part of why I have my views on the Kane situation.
Translation "He needs to grow some balls. "

He won't give it a shove that's for sure despite what his England teammates like probably Stones,Walker, Grealish, Rashford & Shaw said
From a United perspective I would like to find out whether he is that good he can turn us from also rans into contenders. I suspect though that he'd merely get us much closer to City but nowhere near enough to actually finish ahead of them.
