Ex-Spurs Player Harry Kane

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

I was being sarcastic about Kane's reason for leaving. I do not like the way he has gone about it one bit. To my knowledge Grealish has not expressed a wish to leave Villa and yet why should he not want to win Trophies which is unlikely at Villa? Transfers go on all the time but it is MC that is pushing the Grealish transfer and Kane his own. I have more respect for Grealish than Kane. Hopefully the quote that if Grealish signs then no bid for Kane other than a low one will be levied. MC have publicly stated they will not bid £160m and I doubt they will go anywhere near that figure. If we accept a low offer to balance the books I will join the anti ENIC/Levy brigade and criticise them like hell.
Again if Grealish fucks off to city contracts are not worth the paper they are written on he signed a 5 year deal last season was it? Clubs are getting wise to the fact they can protect themselves against good players leaving for nothing but that’s it…..fans needn’t think your best player has committed himself, he hasn’t .

Been that way for years already tbh......

Not committed as such; but prepared to sacrific some of their leverage for the sake of financial security should they pick up a debilitating injury (+ likely a payrise).

Just a thought are there any fans that do not want to win a trophy? So if Kane believes he cannot win a trophy then why should the fans not believe him and transfer their allegiance to MC as well? Then the ground would be empty. Clearly that is not happening and why is it different for Kane than the fans which I thought included him and his family. Will the family stop supporting Spurs and are they going up to Manchester with him?
Majority of clubs have no chance of winning trophies and still have fans. Even if we had no chance it seems odd to say there should be a switch.

Contracts are offered to players to increase the transfer value should the player want to leave or the club wants to sell.

Kane is being hounded by our own fans for signing a 6 year deal, but if he hadn't signed the deal the club they support would be in a far worse position than they are now.

As has been said. We hold all the cards and can demand an extraordinary fee because of Harry's extraordinary loyalty in the past and his extraordinary performances on the pitch.

The guy deserves nothing but the utmost respect.

Bloke is a glory hunter if he goes. Not interested in so called Spurs fans who see it any differently.

Move abroad them fine but the idea Kane would score against us and then pretend to show us respect by not celebrating is absolutely bo!!ocks.

Rational or not that is my view.

As I said before next he will call himself Harry Di Kanio.

So would you not criticise ENIC/Levy if they sell him rather than let him run his contract down ?
 
Think the club know that they are on to a winner here because 200m would help fill the coffers after covid.
The club won't reinvest all that back into the squad so from their angle they are laughing.
They won't? Based on what, history?

Every penny made on player sales has been reinvested back into the squad. Every penny, since Enic have owned Spurs.

It might not have been invested wisely, but let's not make shit up hey?

I'm not making shit up Daniel what I'm saying is with the pandemic hitting club finances they might want to keep some back.
The club are hardly the ambitious type are they so holding back some money isn't going to stop us from being champions is it.

Daniel? How childish. Someone shoots your spurious argument down and you resort to that? But then that's the default for your type isn't it? Any fact that doesn't fit with your agenda and you go on the attack. Small minded and infantile.

Simple fact is that the club have never ever held back money from player sales ever, so you most definitely made that up. What the club's ambitions are is irrelevant to the point.

You didn't shoot anything down you dozy prick I simply stated that with a worldwide pandemic they might want to hold some back.
You went all time of the month on me because I dared to question your beloved ENIC what a Muppet you are.

The open challenge always remains ducked:


Show any money being taken out of the club in the publicly available accounts.

Response is always the same:

If Igula is Peter Seller's, this lemon is Peter Cook!

Always makes me laugh when they forget that their post is actually still out there for everyone to read, yet swear blind that's not what they posted🤣

"The club won't reinvest that back into the squad, so from their angle they are laughing," being the sentence in question.

Brains of a rocking horse...

Di Canio one of your faves at the Caravan Park, Iron Fan?
