Last I heard we were still in the CL and FA Cup.
Is not money he'll jump ship for, it's trophies
But we're 'money' remember
Not nearly enough as it would if he moved to a much bigger club. Surely you're not deluded to think so. It doesn't mean Kane will wanna leave of course just like we know feck all if money is a big priority for him. I'm just saying that the potential to earn much through wages and marketing are extremely higher at a bigger clubs than Spurs.
If and when Harry leaves it won't be for money, it will be for silverware.
Kane needs 12 more league goals this season to break the record - jointly held by Shearer, Ronaldo and Suarez (each netting 31 times) - for most goals scored in a single campaign in Prem history.
With 15 games to go you wouldn't really want to bet against him.

Choo choo all aboard Kane to Madrid train!
Fantastic player you got there!
And how’s that been going for you past 20 years. Realistically if he wants to win trophies he’ll go elsewhere. That might not be important to him. Look at Shearer and Newcastle. There is precedent
There is absolutely no reason why Spurs can't win major trophies in the near future and what happened last year, 10 years, or 20 years ago means absolutely nothing. If history was a barometer for future success, then Football would be a waste of time and we may as well all pack it in. History is something clubs like to lean on as a kind of safety net, but history didn't mean anything when City won the league, or Leicester won the league, or Arsenal went undefeated a whole season. The fact is, when the season starts, Spurs have a very good chance of winning major trophies, particularly with Kane in the side.
I just checked and it appears that he has 20 league goals with roughly half the season gone.
With a bit of luck, he could get very close to 35 league goals this season.
I wonder how much R.Madrid will offer this Summer. I think it'll take somewhere around £200M.

I think 2 years ago, Spurs scored the most goals, conceded the least goals and still couldn't win the title. To my knowledge this was the first time a team managed to achieve this feat.
This convinced me that they won't win the league anytime soon. Sure, they could win a domestic Cup, but I would not bet on them winning the league or the CL, anytime soon. They'l find a way to bottle it.
With arguably the best striker in the World, Spurs have and will struggle to win a trophy and with this in mind, I think he should move to a club more likely to win a trophy.
To give a comparison, last season MUFC were not great, yet we won 2 trophies. When was the last time Spurs won a trophy? I actually can't remember.
There's at least a 50% chance we'll offer him ~£650k a week in wages, plus bonuses, this summer
Why do Spurs have no realistic chance of winning the FA Cup this season?
Even in the CL, we have a chance: we've already beaten RM and on our day are capable of beating any team.
You win 2 trophies noone gives a shit about. Poch played weakened sides in the Europa league because finishing in the CL places was more important for the club. You had to win the Europa league because you weren't able to get into the CL via league placing.
Apologies for quoting myself, but @GlastonSpur the numbers being bandied around for Sanchez's potential wage right now are £400k per week. Even if there's embellishment in that from the press, it's still way, way, way above £200k pw.
You're at the bottom of the mountain with an avalanche teetering on the brink of collapse with this one.

You know its true though. The league and CL is where it's at. Poch even said all he wants to win are those two. Sure an FA Cup or a league cup are a nice to have but ultimately if we won an FA Cup but finished 6th the season from Spurs point of view would be a failure.
Win something, anything, and we can have this conversation.
Fantastic player, the more goals he scores, the more evident it seems he belongs at a bigger and better club. Spurs just aren’t going to give him what he deserves.
Lol ... soon there will only be 9 clubs in the entire world with an income larger than Spurs - so it's more like a molehill than a mountain.
As for "teetering on the brink of collapse", this is the same old Cassandra-like prediction been made every year for the past several.
You should be finishing top 4 and winning trophies like FA/League cup.
You know very well I'm talking about retaining Kane via paying him the going rate for a world class striker.
In all honesty, you can't possibly look at the wage talk for Sanchez and not think Kane is having a head scratch at the discrepancy.
If he keeps on doing what he's doing, and it carries over into the CL as well as the WC, you can add to that £400k pw, not subtract.
Kane is under contract until 2022 - a contract that will doubtless be improved on (and accepted) this year. How you make the leap from this, concerning Kane at Spurs, to "teetering on the brink of collapse" is beyond mortal understanding.
In any case, pointing at a few wage outliers - rather than the norm - is not very convincing.
Imagine what Kane's value/demand would be if he is top scorer at the World Cup and England win the World Cup, i mean Kane is fantastic now and the best striker in the world and could demand a world record transfer fee.
But if that happened Kane's whole profile on the world stage would go through the roof and Spurs would probably be getting offers of £250m.

I think you could put your house on the fact he will still be playing for Spurs next season so he can walk out onto the new stadium pitch. And with his upcoming pay boost to 200k I think he will be happy for a season or two.
If Spurs drop out of the CL and fail to win anything in a couple of seasons I could see him moving on. He would still only be 26 or so, coming into the peak of his career. If his career continues it's upward trajectory he could literally walk into most teams in Europe. Model professional, great role model, hard worker for the team, and a world class striker on top of all that.
At the moment, in the current form hes in, he probably is the best out and out striker in Europe. Surely he cannot keep this form running though, he will eventually hit a slump. But even a Harry Kane in a slump is probably going to net you 15 goals a season rather than 20+

Yeah but we're going from one extrem to another. It's not either winning the PL/CL or what you described, there is a very satisfying middle ground between the 2 for some clubs who haven't trophies for ages would never denigrate. You develop a taste for competing and winning trophies by winning small trophies.
Fair play if you’s do, but I don’t see Spurs beating Juve (thats who they play isn’t it? Apologies if I’ve gotten mixed up)
But 4th and a league/FA cup would be an excellent season for Spurs. Surely thats doable for them.
Yes, it's Juve.
Yeah Juve, I think it could go either way and it's going to be a tight matchup. Spurs are looking a lot better with all their injuries coming back into the squad and back into form. Getting Dembele and Wanyama back to full fitness and firing will be a massive boost. If Alderweireld is back as well it is a strong squad.
Well, I'll re-quote at a later date, and we'll see just how far off I am.
I just hope, for your sake, 'improved upon' means breaking Spurs' wage structure, or, you're guilty of sticking your head in the sand.
Was gonna say the same. But maybe it was already a bit too late to get him last summer. Should have gone for him in the summer of 2015 after Van Persie left or a year later when Mourinho took charge at the latest. Now, it's nearly impossible to get him as dealing with Levy is a real pain in the ass and we have Lukaku too.
Not really, everyone is beating Real Madrid these days, they're the fourth best team in la liga.
I think Tottenham have truly replaced Arsenal now. Down to the delusion of their fanatics.
Absolutely incredibleA Spurs fan looking down his nose at winning trophies.
Apologies but I felt it necessary to remind you that Spurs won the "We put pressure on Chelsea" cup last season.
Yep. I'd take the milk cup at this rate tbh.
If England won the World Cup, Kane will be worth 200 million
We've reached the knockout stages of the CL, finished top of our group and have a talented team. From here on it's a cup format, which means that almost anything can happen on the day.
All this means that Spurs have a chance of winning the CL. How much of a chance is up for debate, but the existence of that chance isn't.
