Ex-Spurs Player Harry Kane

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Levy WILL fuck this up. Just as he fucks up everything else imaginable that's remotely related to football.

Kane's future needs to be sorted before pre-season starts. Offer him an extension now, if he rejects it put a £75m take it or leave it price on him with a deadline to coincide with the start of pre-season.

If no one signs him in that time frame he stays with us for the last year and he goes for nothing next season. We can't afford another cluster fuck pre-season.

But yep, this will undoubtedly drag on all summer and end up with him remaining a Spurs player next season. Squad morale will be dogshit, he'll be totally unmotivated and the new manager will be facing an impossible task before the season has even begun.

Good job, Levy.
 
I still dunno where he goes.

The whole schtick is that he needs trophies - who guarantees him them?

Think he'll wanna stay in the UK and the only team guaranteed trophies is City and they won't want him.

Not sure any other club is as sure a thing as worth tarnishing what he has here.

Still think he'll stay and reassess later.

Of course we don't want to see him leave, and I hope and expect he's been given the opportunity to sign a bumper new contract.

But if he is GOING to leave, it is the club's responsibility to put its best foot forward.

Kane leaving on a free would be a catastrophe.

I wouldn't go as far as to say a catastrophe.

It'll be tough, like it was when we lost our star man in Bale. Except with a bit more sentiment involved with Kane fully being one of our own, Roy of the Rovers type story that's seen him go from academy prospect to the clubs all time top goalscorer

But far from a catastrophe. If we lost him under Mourinho or a Conte, then it'd been horrible. Rigid style of play that focuses more on inviting teams onto us which has seen us rely far too much on Kane (and Son for that matter) to do their best.

What we can hope for is what Pochettino did for us and showed us life without Bale. A completely different style from the rigid style of AVB that saw us heavily reliant on our star man. Fast, high pressing and progressive football that allows fluidity between those in attack with goals coming from all over. So that when Kane does leave on a free, we've had 12 months of that and the ease of moving on beyond Kane is a lot smoother. Of course, replacing all those goals is tough, but it would be for absolutely any club that had their Premier League top goalscorer move on.

This season, we've had 30 goals from Kane, 10 from Son and the next top scorer after that is Bentancur with 5. When Kane moves on, we're likely not going to be getting a 30+ goal striker, they don't go on trees and they also don't tend to end up at Spurs. So we'd be grateful to get a striker who can get 18+ league goals with 10+ goals or so coming from one of our wide forwards (or both) and a creative minded player also to ease the burden.

I think if nothing else, they’ll play UCL football for the next 3-5 years with Harry in the team. And they’ll go fairly deep in the tournament.
I’m not sure I see us playing consistent UCL football even if we kept Harry.

Had a beer with his agent today.
I’m pretty sure it isn’t his intent

Levy’s held him back once. I don’t think he will do it again.

You've shown yourself up there, pal. At least do a bit of homework if you're going to try to emulate all the virgin-living-with-mother, needy, whiney, bullshit-spewing ITKers we all fucking hate.

But do fuck off on your way out.
 
I had to be content on watching the day's action on BBC Results show, and had to put up with Keown as one of the pundits. They were discussing who was better out of Augero and Kane. You won't be surprised who Keown plumped for, but all credit to Dion Dublin who shut him down. He used the 'no trophies' argument to beat him with.
Same as Micah Richards. All I will say to that is my friends who know nothing about football know who Harry Kane is. I only know Richards since he became a pundit (and not a very good one, at that).
I hope H stays but wouldn't blame him if he moved on (unless he goes to the chavs or the goons).
