He signed a six year deal. That's it, goodbye, the end. No debate here. He will go if City meet OUR valuation not theirs/his. And he can also fuck himself.
Oh now you are twisting my opening statement - which was basically that while Spurs fans are happy to see stars of other clubs leaving their clubs and fans for Spurs.... while they get upset (rightly so, in a way) when Spurs's stars want to leave Spurs for another club...
I did NOT condone Kane's action in any way.
All I said about Romero, maybe the reason he did not throw a fit was because his club did comply to his wish of wanting to be sold - so he no reason to
Harry should have turned up if he was due to no excuse if there was any agreement with Levy to let him leave surely a figure was mentioned too loose to say a fair price that could mean anything within several million .
Contracts aren't really worth the paper they are printed on. We all know that. Players sign long term contracts all the time but it doesn't mean they're gonna stay for the full duration. Sure, signing it doesn't help Kane himself now that he wants out, and gives the club more leeway. But at the end of the day, what club in the right mind would want to keep a player knowing they don't want to play for them any longer?
We had a chance during the Euro's to make a real statement of intent and show Kane that we're a club genuinely moving forward. We've done nothing of the sort.
It's not providing a balanced view, you basically called Spurs fans hypocites for being unhappy that our player that we've called 'one of our own' for years is reportedly refusing to train whilst still being happy that we're strongly linked with a good player that is still turning up for training. There's providing a balanced view and there's being a WUM and if you come on a Spurs forum and call out Spurs fans for being unhappy that Kane doesn't turn up for training, you're going to look like a WUM...If a person makes a dumb post = he or she is dump
Half a dozen is still a minority though. But I have a feeling that more than half a dozen disagree with me
All I wanted was to introduce a bit of a balancedd view of what's going on. There are often more than just 1 side to a case
Yes, I think maybe I underestimated the emotions Kane's action provoked
But if people read what I wrote with their rational mind rather than over-emotions they would get my point.
Again, I much rather keep Kane but seeing how all the other big stars (Sheringham, Carrick, Berbatov, Modric, Bale) in the end managed to force their moves ....
Dont know if your a multi or not, but Harry Kane is definitely not fucking Sol Campbell
Not surprised by Rio he did leave West ham then went from Leeds to United
His improvement as a player is down to himself more than anything else. Yeah, we give him an opportunity but he had to grasp it, which he did. There's no way you can say with any certainty that he couldn't and wouldn't have been given a chance elsewhere.
I've not once said that I agree with him missing training for any reason. But it's pretty clear to see that his ambition to finally win some trophies potentially outweighs his need to leave behind some sort of legacy with us. The guy isn't Spurs through and through as some seem to insist. This is a guy that wore an Woolwich shirt as a kid for crying out loud.
In a perfect world I'm sure he would love to win a trophy or trophies with us more than he does at a different club. But this is far from a perfect world.
Again I did NOT condone his action to skip training nor do I want him to leave! And I am not I happy about his actions, but feel free to twist my words like others have done
I don't disagree on Levy's lack of ambition. But the contract is simply tough shit for Kane now that he wants to leave. Nobody forced him to sign a 6 year deal. As you say, it gives the club more leeway - I would say leverage - to ask for a big fee for one of the best players in the league who is in his prime.
City can pay the asking price and if they don't, Kane will have to get on with his job. I would rather have Kane playing and not wanting to be here than sell him for a low fee. Harry wants to break scoring records and he wants to play - and play well - at the World Cup. If he doesn't get his move, this means he will have to do his job well at Spurs and I'm sure that he will if it comes to that.
Can anyone contradict themselves more in one post than this? I think not.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 ) If only some exceedingly brilliant, strikingly handsome, and 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.
Lack ambition = Selling one of the best Strikers in the World
Lack ambition = We must sell Kane so we can invest
I'm OK with Kane leaving, I don't support Kane I support Spurs. I do think if he is to be sold then we should be getting a fee in-line with what one of the best strikers in the World with 3yrs left on his contract should command. If this fee is not stumped up then he's not sold and he should remain at Spurs. Simple as that.
I do also think that we look really slow when he's in the team, I want a high pressing team again, I don't think Kane can do that anymore, so is he a reason why we've been shit (the dinosaur's default tactics aside)?
In line with the above, I support Spurs not Kane schtick, which means that I will NOT wish him well at a rival club, I hope his ankles give out completely and he never scores a goal for them. I hope he fails on every single level possible. You see by wishing him well you are wishing City well. Do you actually want to see City lift a Cup!??! What if we play them in another final again, you wish him well then, hope he gets to lift his Cup instead of us? Do me a favour!
I've never booed an ex-Spurs player other than Campbell, I won't do so with Kane should he leave. That said, as with Bale their behaviour is important to me a fan that pays +£1k a year every year to watch them play for my Club. For some players who have created their brand around being "one of their own" comes certain responsibilities on how to go about your business at your club.
- He owes the club 3 more years service unless there is a change in his contractual situation.
- He owes the club his utmost professionalism in all aspects of his conduct; whether he's on 20k p/a or 200,000kpw.
- He owes the fans (you and I) total respect in all that he does until he is no longer a Spurs player.
Apparently his contract wasn’t wisely set out in his favour ie no specific clause allowing him to leave if a specific set price was offered in the future so obviously the club hold almost all the cards here; that said- this is premier league football and we all know that -yes- contracts mean nothing!
I love fans saying "I'd take £120m for him" of course you would, he isn't contracted to you.
Look at it objectively, he is worth more than that, much more than that to us.
Have we had any covid discounts? Not really paying €50mil for Romero & big money and player for Bryan Gil, why should we give City a covid discount?

The problem is you compared apples to oranges then used that invalid comparison to call Spurs fans hypocrites. I’m assuming you’re not a troll and therefore that wasn’t your intention, but it understandably got people’s backs up during this emotionally charged time.
You may well have a valid point in there somewhere, but it didn’t come across in your first post and only got worse from there with your later posts.
