I have a feeling 7th will look like a wonderful achievement compared to the upcoming season.
There’s probably going to be a lot more comings and going’s but you stick with your anti Spurs agenda
Anti-Spurs. Wow.
Embarrassing.
I'll give your nurse a call, I think you've missed a dose of your meds.
At some point an asset becomes devalued. There is only 1 team bidding so you ain't breaking the bank as demand is low. If RM get Mbappe and City get Haanland then where else is there to go for the player? He ain't going to France. We do not hold "all the cards" as is being suggested. You must sell when the market exists not just when you think your asset is most valuable.
Don't think anyone is suggesting we sell Kane for less than 'he's worth'. But there is always a decent disparity between what Levy values our players for and what the market does. Shall I introduce you to Moussa Sissoko our starting MFer who is still here? Or Eric Dier? Just look at what happened with Eriksen and how he was priced out of a move only for us to receive nothing in terms of performance in return and very little in terms of finances in return. You sell when the market exists for a player and quite often it is one year too early than one year too late. We are always 1 year too late to our detriment but that's probably because this idea of free agency is not really appreciated in European sport.
Paratici didn’t mention any meeting in his interview earlier or Covid
The valuation of a football player is no different to the valuation of a house. Just because your neighbours mansion sold for £125M it doesn’t mean your mansion is going to sell for that price- yes you would base your selling price on what that next door mansion sold for but ultimately a house like a player is only worth what the market will bare and thanks to the likes of the owners of Chelsea and Man City today we talk Monopoly money figures.
Harry wants to go so take what the market will bare!
I do not think that owners who inject money and use said money to build the club is cancer to football. That is absolutely correct.
Owners that lend money to clubs and bring the clubs into great debt, and use the lent money to buy players and overpay wages are a much bigger problem.
If anything is "cancer" (a term I wouldnt use for such a discussion), it is owners who are only in it to exploit the game and extract money, such as the Glazers, and other owners that push for changes to enrich the big clubs at the expense of the smaller ones.
The owners of United, Woolwich, Liverpool, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Juventus, are the evil cunts (football club upper management wize, I am still not discussing the background of the owners), way more than those who own Chelsea, PSG and Chelsea.
My view is that you who think the opposite, who prefers the money-draining owners over the money-investing owners, have swallowed a narrative that the conspiracy theorist in me will say has been put out there by people trying to protect the position of the "big clubs" from the big leagues (meaning those that happened to be the biggest when PL and CL were introduced, who then got a lot more money and exposure than other clubs) (i do not believe it is a conspiracy, rather that people try to defend that which they support and will make up any excuse to do so even if it is unreasonable)
It’s obvious to me and Spurs fans but I thought you’d struggle so explained for you
I think the next day or two will be key in this saga.
Reports seem to suggest that he wasn’t due for training today anyway, he was due in for tests including possibly a COVID test. He hasn’t missed training yet as he’s not due to start until tomorrow.
It’s also been suggested that him not being on site today is by his own choice, but the reporting is ambiguous in that nobody has confirmed whether this is with or without the clubs permission.
If he doesn’t turn up tomorrow there is perhaps more afoot, but at the moment its probably just a load of hot air over nothing.

Obvs don't know but I would imagine it would depend on how great he felt he was betrayed by the club just like anyone else. But any player would become more hesitant on 50-50s. Don't we want committed players out there?
I don't think the club mind the rumours at all. I'm going to shout this for the melts:
THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS BAD PUBLICITY.
So all this speculation means people are talking about us, the best striker in the PL and whether or not he's staying. If he leaves (he won't), more money for us, if he goes then we're amazing and more fans will come to us. win-win.
Well then he needs to say something. He needs to defend himself if so. Silence is a big indication for me. If Spurs and Kane say nothing over the next few days, then clearly something is happening
Hadn't heard that, probably all journalistic nonsense and he will rock up later this week
Brady has now played for two organizations that surrounded him with talent and structure to win. And Brady did pull some shit a few seasons ago when Belichick wanted rid of him.
Modric wanted to leave, as does Kane, but the club refused to sell and he stayed for a year and played well. Kane wants goal scoring records and to play well at the next World Cup, so for totally selfish reasons he has motivation to play well for us if he stayed. We can get £100m a year from now with the added bonus of 20 league goals and a bunch of assists from Harry next season. We do not need to sell for anything other than a stupid amount of money and frankly, we don't want to set that precedent (that we'll sell our best player for a 'reasonable' fee). All clubs should know that if you come for our best player when they have years to run on their contract, you'll have to pay a transfer fee that will make your arse bleed.
