Ex-Spurs Player Harry Kane

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

If Harry stays and he isn't really the prototype for what Ange looks for up top, I had a thought which is equal parts stupid and intriguing. Imo. And I'm readying myself to get run out of town, when people think, it's only stupid :kanehand:

Does Kane have what's required to play one of the two 8's? We know he's got the passing range and if we play on the front foot, he'll still get in plenty of dangerous areas for chances. Has he got engine and football IQ for it, and would he buy in? I'm inclined to think so. And that he'd still get 20+ in a season playing from there (if we perform as a team).

If he stays at spurs where winning trophies isnt a thing, the least he will want is guaranteed goals. Doubt he'd be okay with being an 8.
 
Why would Ange want to think of getting Kane away from a 9/10 position. I don't think any manager in their right mind would do that.

A great deal of this bullshit written is Levy trying to push a narrative. Levy knows this is probably Kane's last year of great value. Just like every season we get a whole lot of bullshit transfer and player news, just so that we'd be happy with a little bone tossed out way. We get linked with the likes of Mcguire so that the the 21 year old inexperienced kid that walks in seems like a Great signing. We get linked with Loads of Harry Kane crap, so that, if he stays and we don't get a quality Backup, we still Happy cause Kane stayed.

Don't fall for Levy's crap. Wait till the season starts then you can judge what has been done. For now you just gonna relax or you'll end up with High Blood Pressure. Levy is a master at playing games.

Id prefer a 21 inexperienced kid rather than maguire
 
£100m doesn't score 30 goals a season.
Spending it the way we do just wastes £100m

I would get down on my hands and knees and beg him to stay. Give him a mega 3 year contract £500k a week. I have no faith whatsoever we can even come close to replacing him. And you take him out of this team and we're fucked.

Yep. That is the attitude we want in the club
"PLEASE STAY, YOU ARE BIGGER THAN OUR CLUB. WE ARE NOTHING WITHOUT YOU".

Pretty pathetic to read this even in here.
Spurs is shitloads bigger than Harry Kane. And we will need to do WHAT IS BEST FOR THE CLUB IN THE LONG RUN.

Pathetically clinging on to one player who will leave in 1 year time is just postponing the inevitable. Better take the resources and try to build for the future.
Sure, it is possible that we will fail in it. But have to try. Such defeatism is just utterly pathetic.
 
Does Bellingham going to Madrid for 100m make Kane going more or less likely? For Harry it must be a tick cos English speaking team mate. But would Madrid spend that much again on Kane?
 
If Ange doesn't get total buy in from Harry K he'll want to sell him while selling is possible to finance a rebuild.

That might be the first flash point between Ange and Levy.
 
I think if Kane wants to stay then I think Ange will find a way to incorporate him. Every manager has talked about how much of a professional he is. And regardless of style, I don’t think there is team that isn’t better with Kane in it. He might not be the pressing maestro at this point but I think he can do enough.

That said, if he wants to leave England and we get a good offer then I would be ok with letting him go. I can respect his decision and we need to get away from having players who don’t want to be here. Richarlison does seem to fit well in his style as an around the box poacher. We certainly could spend the money to improve some major holes (esp CB).
