Kane will score 30 goals again next season if he stays. You don't give that away for anything less than top dollar.

It's purely guesswork from you to assume he will be a sulking net negative influence.

He is driven by personal as well as team achievements. He can't break all those scoring records if he takes a year off.
Kane won't play for us again.

He's drawn his line in the sand.

Even if I'm wrong and he does play. He's going to lack the team spirit and motivation of previous years. And after turning 28 and entering the 2nd half of his contract, his value will decrease.

If "all" we get offered this year is £100m, it won't be that much next year, or the year after.
 
Wow, you hate Levy and ENIC, yet you are advocating for them to act stupidly?!?
Incredible.

You just described a situation while being a 18 yo who have had a raging boner for 2 days.

Right now there is a player that has signed a contract with us. Which lasts until he is 31 yo.
We can lock him into reserves for three long years and effectively end his career if we want to. I am not advocating such solution, but I am saying that it is theoretically possible.

Harry does not have all the power. He has contract that is valid, we have fulfilled our end of the deal by paying him tens of millions. Now he has to keep his end as well.

And Levy will make him keep it, or he will leave on acceptable terms. Which is nothing short of 150 mil pounds.

End of.

Do you genuinely think the best outcome for broke as fuck (apparently) THFC is to ignore a nine figure sum of money that won't come around again?

If Kane had turned up the last 3 days and got his head down I'd believe he would carry on as is.
But he's made his intentions clear. The idea of him sulking for a year, being toxic in training and relentlessly making negative statements is not worth it.
 
The problem is we have lost Eriksen without replacing him.
Spurs lost Eriksen before he left the club.
However, it's very hard to replace a quality player with a "replica". Spurs have never replaced the likes of Klinsmann, Ledley King, Carrick, Modric, Dembele, Berbatov, Bale up through the years.... but yet, until 2019, Spurs made steady progress.
If Spurs did sell Kane for, say, £150m, they would not get a quality CF like Kane as a replacement, but they used the money wisely to strengthen the starting XI it would not necessarily weaken the team overall. And, if they bought, say, Vlahovic & Luka Jovic and both hit the ground it may not weaken the attack that much either - but that is a big IF!

Can you not call our players by derogatory names it is juvenile and shows a lack of respect. I hate when Spurs fans do this why would anyone want to be called by an insults it the exact same thing with what people call Harry Winks. If these players ever read these forums or twitter why would they want to pull on the Shirt for the fans.
It's not a derogatory nickname. Gordillo's nickname was "El Gordo" (the fat one), but he still was a hell of a player. Ndombele is my favorite Spurs player and I hold him in very high regard. And there is a difference between nicknames. I'm not calling him "Fat Fuck" or "Lazy Ass." He's a bit chubby for a football player, but you won't see me anywhere deriding him for any reason whatsoever. I haven't posted much on TFC, but I challenge you to find any posting of mine where I have come down on a player, even if they have had the shittiest performance of their career.

He's got 3 seasons left on his contract. So if he wants out and City won't meet our valuation this summer - him sulking and being an uber-cunt for the next 12 months isn't likely to see them hand in an acceptable offer in 12 months either. So then he'd be forced to play another year before Levy flogged him to the highest bidder with only a year left, which after 2 years of acting a tit and at 30 years old isn't likely to be City.

This idea that Kane will be shit and a disruption if he stays because he's unhappy is just not sensible. If City won't pay Levy's mark this summer, and he really wants to go, then he's got no choice but to get his head down and prove to City that they have to meet the valuation for him.
