Are you insinuating that the holy baldness failed again in a transfer window?Anyway, weren't we definitely bringing in another striker who would play alongside Kane? And still we didn't sign a striker.

You are kind and charitable. I'm sure there was a time not so long ago where I would have been desirous of extending such an olive branch in DL's direction. Seen too much and am too cynical...but he's earned it in my eyes.That's a problem. We did clearly try for some of the aforementioned options, but it should have been a priority over other deals.
The club gambled on Kane being enough for another season, and so far it isn't paying off. I'll be fair to Levy and say clearly attempts were made to secure a couple of options, and perhaps we weren't interested in settling for a 3rd or 4th choice for a big fee.
But the longer term problem of zero CF depth has been mismanagement, there's no doubting it.
It’s definitely odd when every season he has a dip, but he starts playing well again or just scoring again in a lot of cases, people react as if the three months of poor games didn’t existYeah, Sammy, but these points don't mean as much as points later in the season. What's wrong with you? How do you now know that?
The motivation should be exactly that bolder part.I doubt he's sabotaging his performances, I imagine he is just completely demotivated.
He was mentally preparing to go to a team who are capable of winning things and now ended up with our shower and no trophies for the remainder of his career.
I'm not saying I agree, but it should be the manager who motivates the team.
If we had shown any sort of ambition with our manager hunt I imagine Kane would be playing better alongside the rest of our team.
Instead Levy has chosen mediocrity and stadium income

A quick 'for instance'...Conte. As if that was ever real and not some 'bukakke theatre' to appease the masses that we were really 'going for it'.

I think you have hit the nail on the head there.I wonder if City not moving heaven and earth for Harry fucked with his head?
He's always seen himself as one of the best strikers in the world, on par with Messi and Ronaldo. A player that you pay what you have to pay for etc etc.
To probably be getting assurances that City would pay what was needed from his brother all summer, and then these sums not materializing probably hurt his ego in some way.
We do have to put up with that shit every season. Always a big name linked or whatever followed by bugger all. I almost don't bother with it all now.I'm fully Levy out, and thoroughly dislike the man. I just occasionally try to be balanced, depending on what day it is.
The Conte stuff was indeed all theatre. I remember reading about it and thinking it made zero sense at the time. Manager who demands about 200m a season and has just left Inter for not getting his wish moves to club infamous for having a chairman reluctant to give up funds. Just silly stuff.
Especially after they paid £100m for Grielish. You'd think his haircut alone would knock at least £20m off the price tag.I wonder if City not moving heaven and earth for Harry fucked with his head?

He probably shouldn’t have done that to be fairHe's always seen himself as one of the best strikers in the world, on par with Messi and Ronaldo.
He needs someone to sit him down and set him straight. Help him get his head back in the game. He shouldn't be sulking right now. He should be a man on a mission looking to prove that City missed out on him.
I would say Poch would be good for that, but maybe he has hopes of signing him? Maybe even Jose, Harry was one of the squad that rated him apparently. I don't know, but looking at this from his side and also from a purely selfish Tottenham one(which as fans we have the right to do) He isn't doing anybody any favours at the moment.He needs someone to sit him down and set him straight.

But if he is mentally checked out and still waiting for Papa Pep then I don't think that there is anyone in our team that can do that to him. Not Hugo, not Son, not Dele etc. Especially if Charlie is still ensuring him that he will get the move for him.
Poch probably could have. It depends on how their relationship was towards the end.I would say Poch would be good for that, but maybe he has hopes of signing him?

Maybe Kane has personal doubts over things like fitness etc. Perhaps he knew this was his window of opportunity. He probably knew the new generation of strikers were coming through and if he didn't move this season that was it, window shut.He needs someone to sit him down and set him straight.

And Vlahovic has said he wants to play for City.If this is true then we can forget City coming back in for him.

Maybe they will sign both, then Kane can sit on the bench all season before collecting his precious Winner's medals that prove how good he is way better than outscoring everyone whilst playing for an average team.If this is true then we can forget City coming back in for him.

There's a healthy chance he's been bricked. If so, he needs a reboot. Maybe on the continent to get away from his (and our own) mess.Maybe Kane has personal doubts over things like fitness etc. Perhaps he knew this was his window of opportunity.
