Ex-Spurs Player Harry Kane

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Agree. BUT not turning up to training is being a massive cunt. It's a very dangerous road to go down, if he's being advised by his brother to do this, he needs to think again very quickly. He's got one day's grace IMO, if he turns up tomorrow he/they can still spin it that he was having a COVID test etc...

What he's not grasping is there were huge sways of Spurs supporters at the end of last season and over the summer who were sympathetic to him going, that's to say they were highly supportive and the anger was directed at the Club instead. If he downs tools he loses all of this goodwill, with 3yrs left on your contract he's putting pressure on the wrong Club, he should be putting pressure on City to pay the money.
BS Guido. These one-eyed fuckers in here would have turned on him the second he stopped scoring goals just like the faithless bastards turned on Poch and any other player that doesn't pass their ad-hoc purity tests. To only 'love' a player (or anything else) while they are doing your bidding is not love at all. I hope he goes and does whatever he feels is best for his life and career as I do for any other person in this world. I hope he fucking bangs'em in for Pep and reaches Shearer's mark.

The problem is not Harry or Harry leaving. He could have left many times before this. The problem is the club hasn't matched his ambitions (only one person to blame for this). He's never lied to us about his intentions. We are a fucking mess and the second you and all the others stop wishing, hoping, and praying for shit players (like Dele) to come good then you can train your focus on why we don't actually have better players that would have matched Harry's ambitions and made us more successful in the last few years...thus leading to him staying here for his career.

Good luck to you Harry...we should have sold you earlier and reinvested in the squad instead of becoming a O.M.T and being butthurt when you left. ( Igula Igula ) If only some exceedingly brilliant, strikingly handsome, well-hung poster had been suggesting such a thing for the last few years then perhaps some could have cottoned on to the idea. Nah, too many thickos and line-toers round this board for flights of fancy like that.

Nevertheless, his opinion - about wanting to leave Atalanta - has made it to the press...
Did I say he did not turn up to training? He's got no reason so far as his club - following his wish - entered into negotiations to sell him. Should he skip training because it's taking such a long time?
Romero is on a loan deal with an option to buy - which Atalanta has decided to exercise. With the permission of Romero. So he's not really on loan any longer- otherwise, Spurs would have been negotiating with Juve and not Atalanta.
You were drawing ridiculous comparisons and ridiculing our fans for being upset with Kane

So you’re either trolling or a Kane fanboys or both imv
 
I do not get how any football fan can think that a club run like Woolwich is better run than one that is run like Man City, except if their view is heavily obscured by jealousy or some sense of "unfairness".

Woolwich had the invincibles. They were close to being the best team in the world, in a position that is far easier to hold than to break into, situated in one of the most attractive cities for football clubs in the world, in the richest league in the world. Since then, they very gradually underinvested and overpaid young seemingly talented players their way out of the top 4.

Their league positions the last 25 years:
96/97: 3
98/98: 1
98/99: 2
99/00: 2
00/01: 2
01/02: 1
02/03: 2
03/04: 1
04/05: 2
05/06: 4
06/07: 4
07/08: 3
08/09: 4
09/10: 3
10/11: 4
11/12: 3
12/13: 4
13/14: 4
14/15: 3
15/16: 2
16/17: 5
17/18: 6
18/19: 5
19/20: 8
20/21: 8

Ever since the early 2000's, people have been talking about how well run a club Woolwich is. Their league position tells a very different story.

How is it better for a football club, to have one or more owners seeking to enrich themselves at the expense of quality of football, rather than having owners that invest in the club?

The owners of City have not just spent a shit ton of money on random players. They have invested wisely in City, actually getting great results, getting the arguably best manager in world of football, getting great, exciting players, playing excellent football, building a fantastic academy, etc. They have built a club that is now in position that can be defended for years to come if the clubs stays well run.

A well run club does not move from being arguably the best to being outside of top 4 for five consecutive seasons and being 8th two concecutive seasons.

I liked the way we were run until everyone got too greedy for trophies. The last few years we have struggled as decisions have been made with results in mind instead of progress. That being said, the best way a club can be run is by having owners that are willing to make sound and wise investments in the club.

I can not understand why it is better that a club with a rich owner looking to make money is financed by a million working class people, like Woolwich or Manchester United, rather than that a club is financed by a rich owner looking to provide the greatest possible quality of football for their fans to enjoy.
The fact they are part of a ruling elite in a country where there are religious police to arrest the people. The fact homosexuality is a crime in their country. The fact migrant workers have their passports kept by their employers and during Coronavirus their passports were retained by employers when laid off so they were stuck in Abu Dhabi. The fact that Sheikh Mansour has been involved directly I money laundering and bribery. The fact they broke FFP without any pretence.

City should be expelled from the league system and be forced to start a Phoenix club how many of these mercenaries would stick around. City have tainted the game and forced clubs in the Champions and lower to play the lottery by overspending on players to try get promoted. The fact is transfer debt is at record high in football and makes what Leeds did look like nothing their are clubs in the championship and League 1 that currently carry similar debt to Leeds when they declared bankruptcy. If you tell me that PSG, Chelsea and Man City are not big contributors to the rising transfer fees and wages all down the ladder you are kidding yourself.

Everything about City is wrong and if the Premier League were competent in their investigation and punished them accordingly they would not be in the position they are.
 
And that's got what to do with Kane wanting out?

Not saying you're wrong but Kane doesn't care about that, the footballing authorities don't care either. He just wants to join a club that actually challenge for and win trophies.

He'd rather that was Spurs but we had our shot a few years back and blew it. Levy and ENIC had no ambition then and no ambition now.

As much as some people's hate-boner for ENIC woud like to think otherwsie; what City are and where they have come from is 100% relevant. We'd have a far stronger footing in the EPL if they hadn't doped up in 2008 and we more than likely wouldn't be sat having this conversation now.... We'd be a far richer club for having made CL at least 4 more seasons for starters.... Potentially Bale would not have left... Sliding doors; sliding doors.

You were the one drawing comparisons that don't exist between the Kane and Romero situations.

Spurs and Atalanta are close on a deal the valuations aren't that far apart. Romero turned up for training like a professional.

City and Spurs are light years apart on a deal and Kane is acting like a little bitch, disrespecting the fans, the manager, and his fellow professionals.

Hence why we are kicking off.

Don't get your point and it seems people are in agreement with me.
Are you really this dumb???!
All telling me what I already told you and trying to use it as your own argument lol
Romero do NOT need to skip training as his club has agreed to sell him. I already stated that. So why on earth should he skip training when he is getting his will??? Romero does NOT need to force a move apart from leaking to the press that he want to leave Atalanta.
Kane is NOT getting his will as Spurs are refusing to let him go. That is why his skipping training to force a move...

So you are happy to see a player putting pressure on his club to join Spurs ....while it's totally wrong for a Spurs player to do the same when he wants to leave Spurs..

PS! Again, I do NOT support Kane's actin of skipping training but maybe - I am repeating MAYBE - they did had a gentleman agreement that Levy & Lewis broke.
Yet you are happy to see
 
Exactly, that's why he hasn't put in a formal transfer request....not turning up for training mustn't count...
That’s the most damning thing imv

If he’d put in a transfer request prior to the Neville interview and then explained why during the interview then fine
But he did neither
 
I don't expect that Charlie Kane is a particularly savvy guy. So first, it wouldn't surprise me if their moves here are about as blunt as Harry's captain speeches before games (as seen on Amazon) when he stepped in as captain for Hugo.

And so it wouldn't surprise me, given that awful interview Harry did, if they believed $100m was enough to get it done, given their "gentlemen's agreement."
And that is also purely speculation Time will tell. I doubt both are that daft.

Kane hasn’t put in a formal transfer request

City have not made any offer

Or am I missing something?

And just because a fellow poster disagrees with you there’s no need to call him ‘dumb’!!

You’re out of order pal
 
For us to show Kane we mean a bit of business we needed to appoint a top class manager, sell the deadwood we have at the club, which we have plenty of, and make some genuinely top signings this summer. We've done absolutely none of that, We've appointed a poor-mans Mourinho after sacking the real one. Signed a player with potential and a back-up keeper, while the likes of Sissoko, Winks, Davies, Dier, Sanchez, Doherty and Aurier all remain at the club currently.

The club doesn't deserve a world-class player like Harry Kane. Simple as that.
