OK, you have the workings of something there...so go get your google fingers working and give us some tangible evidence, and another thing, commas have a space after them. I notice you did it once in ten attempts...Flame away about that....
For the first time in his career of late I have doubts about his mentality. He seems off it and has got some time.
I did say it was a controversial opinion...!
You have some serious issues if you're seriously having a go about a lack of space after a comma, fella.
We are here to share opinions and discuss the team we both support, not criticise grammar (especially when your point is so pathetically tenuous).
You are a bit of a pansy to get offended at my sharing an opinion you don't agree with. Get some fresh air, you need it
You did, in fairness!
That you flaming them...Jesus Christ...you come on telling us to flame away and you fucking melt by the second fucking reply!!!!
Harry is a fantastic player, make no bones about it, but do you think looking ahead that he will be the same player he has been?
28 years old next month..clearly he is feeling like he needs to be looking elsewhere to win trophies...it isn't easy to play at the very top level if your heart isn't 100% in it.
No player is bigger than the team so if he is unable to put transfer speculation and a desire to leave out his head, do we have much choice but to (reluctantly) sell him?
I want to be clear, I'm not knocking him or saying he isn't a fantastic player. He is. I'm merely stating that the attitude of "we have to keep him at all costs" might be an overreaction.
So you haven't checked the stats then...I looked at ones for a couple of seasons ago, there were only two strikers that had a better scoring record against the so called big six than the rest...Jamie Vardy and Glenn Murray, so are all the rest flat track bullies then? Want to know who the biggest flat track bully was? It was Sonny...
Edit: There were only five players who scored more often than Harry against the big six, the two I mentioned plus Aguero, Salah and Jesus...

Check your grammar, your post makes no sense...
You took the words right out of my mouth.
Ohhhh burn....I'm off to weep gently in a corner...
Agree completely! Build a team around Harry for this coming season, then if he's off next summer you can still sell him for a king's ransom to plug the hole in the finances.
If we sell Kane now then we'll be sitting on a pile of gold and every single transfer will be extortion. 30m players suddenly cost 50m, etc.
yeah if only we were all optimistic all the time
Then we'd be able to hire a manager and the likes of Sissoko would be able to kick a ball in a straight line
It all seems so simple now
But we have been saying this the past 3 season it feels.
I get your point, however:
1) In a year his contract has one year less to run, and his value will be less. We will still get a decent sum and then the hole burning a hole in our pocket is next year, not now
2) He has made it clear he wants out. Mentally, that is a big deal and whilst I have no doubt he won't down tools, it will still surely impact his performance levels if his heart isn't fully in it
Contracts in the modern game mean little...we can say he has signed a contract and we have him by the balls but the sad reality is that players still have the power to force the club's hand by manipulating the media and creating constant stories around Kane transfer speculation which could adversely impact not just his, but the whole team's performances.
Obviously the ideal scenario is we keep Kane and strengthen the team around him.. but we all know how much we will need to spend to address our squad issues, mainly defence and midfield. Do we really have the funds to manage that?
Shifting the deadwood has always been our issue and I doubt we will raise significant funds
Entitled to your opinion. I fundamentally disagree though.
We were being quoted £50m for Lamptey - who despite Southgate picking about a million right backs still can't get near the England squad
The press have no sense of irony when they write these bullshit stories
Fair.
If you're the club,what do you do & say to Harry now? We haven't even got a manager and the new season starts in less than 2 months. I just don't see us being able to do what we need to in that time to strengthen the squad and show him the ambition he wants (and deserves).
If we keep him the scenario is essentially him banging in more goals for a season with the ceiling being realistically 6th place for us (unless we invest...which Levy won't).
You tell him that with three years on his contract the club will not consider offers for him.
Simple.
