Ex-Spurs Player Harry Kane

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

So you claim......



You haven't a clue..... 10 years ago I'd never set 'foot' on a fourm; regarldess of my opinon.....

Mind you, i can well imagine you consumed by bitterness whilst we were having fun under Redknapp... That fits...... Damn shame he cut that short by whoring himself out for the England job though after all the support we'd given him through his tax trials.... No doubt you filled your hump of hate for the owners over that sacking though. Still; good ol' Harry admits he took his eye off the ball even if it doesn't fit your agenda too..... :harrysmile:



You're just saying stuff.....



Sorry, never been a phrase I've used... EVER.



...More random waffle.

dont lie to me airfixx. I appreciate the sentiment that we’re both well alive and breathing over a decade later in this mad game called life and arguing at 2am in the morning. Theres beauty in that.

however, if you dont believe that the moment Harry Kane burst on the scene scoring goals as a young 20 something that Levy hadnt envisioned selling kane at that very moment then you cant have been following spurs that closely, or have become lost in your delusions.

The moment Kane showed genuine world class ability was the moment Levy was prepared to sell him. We’re a selling club, despite Levys bluster and routine act. This is all just theatre. Levy has been well prepared for this day. Were an investment club which wants to profit with the least amount of expenditure. Harry kane wants trophies. The two dont go well.

kanes gone in the summer and Levy will get paid. Everything else is just noise at this point. As for your Anti- redknapp comments, thats just classic airfixx
 
Is there something that has not been clear? I don't care if HK is present or not.

The tone of your post suggested otherwise, but ok.

Club is above everything, always.
And the biggest disrespect in this situation is what those in charge of managing the team have made since it is clear that they have not done their job correctly.
Kane doesn't want to go to training?
It's ok, sell him, and good bye, he's not going to be an elite football player for more than or 5 more years
What remains forever is the club (although I am beginning to doubt this if ENIC is still here) and it is what really needs to be taken care of

The club will be here beyond ENIC; you can bet on it.
 
Well; on topic.... I've not been making predictions to the contrary to you so; again, you're just saying stuff.

FWIW: Did Modric get his move to Chelsea?

NOPE.

Did Kane slight the fans today?

YES.

Does him still having 3 years on his contract put us in the position to negotiate hard over what comes next?

YES.

youre arguing with yourself. Did modric stop turning up for training? Yep. Did modric get a move away from the club despite being contracted to us? Yep.

“the power of the contract”

good thing we both see eye to eye at last
 
I cant believe the shit im seeing. People basically calling Kane a mercenary. How quickly fans are to forget the past. Kane has played out of his skin for the best part of 8 years. Grown up similar age watching him. Hasnt had a real break in that time. Is consistently top 3 scorer in the PL each season. Is on far lower wages than his competitors at his level of football. Only to be shat on by “loving fans” because he dares to do. It isnt Kanes fault that Levy refuses to match Kanes ambition and talent. The absolute facts of the situation when its all said and done and we look back in 20 years time is that Kane staying at Spurs will ensure he will never reach his potential. He wont win anything at spurs in the next 5 years. It will make a world class footballer remembered for never winning anything. Hes given everything for spurs. Kept his head down. Given us the best parts of his life. Now hes at the business end of his short playing career. Levy has had plenty of chances to win with spurs but he doesnt want to spend money for his own selfish reasons. Just like you think kane is “selfish”

which means guess what, EVERY MAN FOR HIMSELF AND HIS FAMILY. Everyones got their own motives. Time for kane to get a slice of the cake hes been a loyal servant for nearly a decade if anyone deserves it its kane.

This is even more reason for Kane to think about his own individual future rather than try to keep fickle fans happy who at the end of the day are going to forget about you 20 years down the line. Being a fan favourite doesnt keep the bills paid. Being a fan favourite doesnt write you down in the history books. Kane owes this club, or you and I, nothing.
Kane had played well and been paid handsomely for it

In fact so well he signed up for another six years!!

And now this Spurs player through and through wants to throw his toys out of the pram and flash his knickers elsewhere

Tough

Welcome to the real world Harry and your pathetic parasite of a brother/ agent

You’re under contract to play for Spurs
Remember?
Your boyhood club?
One of our own?

So you don’t turn up for work and I hope you get rinsed by Levy in daily continuous fines

But that won’t happen
You’ll bottle it
Show up for training eventually and I bet your ankle suddenly plays up

I hope Levy also rinses City for at least £150 million then good riddance

If City won’t pay what we’re asking then tough shit
Either knuckle down and be professional or sit on the bench and rot

Either way I couldn’t give a fuck

Give it a break .... 'fans' do not post rant after rant against the club they claim to support ... support needs to be maintained through good times and bad, otherwise it's meaningless.

We all know you hate Levy and blame him for everything (and deny anything good) since ENIC arrived, that's fair enough your position is well known .... so why keep up with the 'support' by repeating your negativity every day?

Support means getting behind the object of you affection - not digging holes in it every day - I'm guessing you're single, or do you reserve your 'support' for Spurs alone?
Supporting a club is not always supporting whatever the club does. If something is done wrong you have to criticize it because if you don't do it then you are an accomplice of it. The more you love something or someone the more you hate people who do them wrong
 
I hate people who think that a player must have some obligation towards a company (yes, clubs are companies) and their fans simply because of "feelings", "love" and other bullshit.

FOOTBALL players are WORKERS, PROFESSIONALS ...
The only obligation they have is towards their own interests and those of their family.
They come to a club, do the work, take the money, and leave when they are no longer effective in their work.

Welcome to the rial world brudas
Comparing football clubs to companies is just so fundamentally wrong. I don't think there is 60k people outside of Google's HQ every weekend cheering on workers that grew up in their offices.

Why are we even supporting a football club if everything is industrialised and just about money? But tbh you do have a point and I feel the same way. Watching football today is massively different to just 10-15 years ago, I felt a much bigger betrayal when Berbatov forced a move to Man Utd than what Kane is doing now. I hardly care anymore because of how cynical and greedy everything has become and I can't be the only one thinking this
 
But Modric didn’t get his move to the club of his choice
The Chavs

He knuckled down for another season and eventually moved to RM
 
Is there a fan that wants to see Kane leave? Probably not.

Is there a fan that doesn’t understand why Kane wants to leave? Probably not.

The same can be said of all the other hero’s in their hey day too, Bale, Modric, Berbatov, Carrick, Teddy, and even that cunt Campbell…
They all left to win silverware, and they all done exactly that…

The one thing that KANE had that those players didn't

A chance to win the Premier League
A champions league final
A League cup final
And at international level, the Euro final.

The club has backed him and given him every chance to win a trophy. He failed to show up when it really mattered.

Eriksen was a true professional. Wanted to leave but never sulked, never went running to the press saying how he dreams of playing for our rival. Never demanded a new $$$ contract. During our glorious run under Poch, we were never the Harry Kane team, we were the Cristian Eriksen team.

We’d all love Kane to stay and continue to score goals for fun but unfortunately this has been a long time coming and im honestly surprised he didnt leave post-pochettino. People are blaming Kane but we all know its much bigger than that. If it was any other player id be singing the same song but Kane is different. The guy wants to win trophies.

he’ll be sold and go on to win trophies and levy will make a pretty penny.

spurs fans however will still have to pay the highest ticket and shirt prices in the PL.

You're a bit of an odd-ball aren't you? I'd never noticed before..... Still, enjoy that "beauty" you mention... Not for me to deny you that.

however, if you dont believe that the moment Harry Kane burst on the scene scoring goals as a young 20 something that Levy hadnt envisioned selling kane at that very moment then you cant have been following spurs that closely, or have become lost in your delusions

Levy has been well prepared for this day. Were an investment club which wants to profit with the least amount of expenditure. Harry kane wants trophies. The two dont go well.

kanes gone in the summer and Levy will get paid. Everything else is just noise at this point.

We are a club owned by an investment company (my eyes are wide pen to that)... They will one day sell for a profit (again, no shit!).... And we'll be left in a better shape that the run-down shell of a club that we were when they arrived.

I've enjoyed more of the interim ride than not...... Shame if you haven't.

As for your Anti- redknapp comments, thats just classic airfixx

That wasn't anti-Redknapp..... What a distorted view you have.

Second best time I've had supporting the club (behind Poch-era) since FACup 91.

I said it was a shame the way it ended.... Harry agrees.
 
Interesting take by a Woolwich fan .... he has Ozil syndrome so thinks about this a lot 😆

What do we know?

Kane signed a six year contract that has three years to run, in return for playing football he gets paid by Spurs.

What do we think we know?

Kane and Levy had a 'gentlemen's' agreement that if no trophies then after 3 years Kane could leave for 'market value'

Kane's current 'market value' is 130-160m depending on who you believe

So taking that onboard it would require a club to make an offer somewhere within that 130-160m range for Kane or Levy to even have a discussion about Kane leaving, that's not yet happened.

As far as we know no such offer has been made by any club on the planet.

In his opinion. and I tend to agree, if it turns out Kane has withdrawn his labour even though the terms of the gentlemen's agreement have not been met - then it's Kane who is bang out of order.

Quite sensible for a Gooner ... then again he is depressed: White for 50m, Xhaka's new contract, and a front line with 3 over 30's .... and you think we've got issues.

I’m blaming Kane for a no show today and for his disgusting interview with Neville

Unprofessional at best and disrespectful at worst

Done with him

Lol Kane has carried this club for years mate. We wouldnt have got into those finals if it wasnt for him AND poch.

Poch god bless his soul was sacked the moment he complained about money.

thats all you really need to know about whats going on at this club. And Poch was basically the second coming of Christ to this club in terms of the miracles he performed.

Agree on the “chances” he’s been given to win things, I could argue we were never really in a title race, god only knows how we got to Madrid, and like Berbatov a league cup was never enough, but yes he certainly had his chances, but there are glaring reasons why We or Kane didn’t win those titles, we simply weren’t good enough…..
 
youre arguing with yourself. Did modric stop turning up for training? Yep. Did modric get a move away from the club despite being contracted to us? Yep.

Ah, so you're continuing down the disingenuous path of misquoting and so forth....

"Did Modric get his move to Chelsea?

NOPE."


He left on OUR terms. Why? Contract gave us that sway......

FWIW: You started off arguing that players wouldn't sit out their contract if it meant not playing.... You're all over the fucking shop.

How many times have I read in this forum "Harry looks angry on the field" "Harry is alone" "This club is not good enough for Harry" "Any day Harry will ask for a transfer"
Well, that day has arrived, and it cannot have come by surprise, it is something that was known to happen so don't try to say that the club has done things very well and that Harry is very bad for wanting to leave

exactly that was my argument. Modric still left. Doesnt matter who he fucking went to does it the fact remains he wanted out from spurs and got his wish. Never saw him in a spurs shirt again. But did win la liga titles, champions leagues and balon d’ors or whatever theyre called in the process. And spurs fans called him a ratfaced fucker. When in reality he was just too good for spurs at the time. Much like kane is now.

so didnt sit on his contract.
