Winning definitely doesn't happen when you bench a world class player in place of Richarlison. If Kane stays, it's in the best interest of the club to utilise his talent, not try to prove a point with a silly moral crusade.
Was it definitely in this thread? Was it a link to an interview, or just something that a poster said they had seen somewhere? I'm interested to see what Pep said / looked like, and am happy to trawl through the last x pages of this thread to find it if it's there, but I dont' want to waste my time if it isn't...
No; whilst he's under contract.
He's already the main man...... You make it sound like we'd be 'promoting' him..... So long as he gives 100% then there'd be nothing untoward going on.
There's untold angles at play here.....
- We could have refused the money and we'd still be in this final year/leave for free predicament.
- BM could have bailed out and we'd still be in this final year/leave for free predicament.
.........They'd still be sat back watching the same outcome, regardless.
- How do you think they'd feel seeing us chuck him in with the kids due to boardroom politics?
- How'd you think Ange would feel being told he can't play a world class striker even though we'd already missed out on a fee to replace him?
Nothing's really changed here...... Same three outcomes in the offing... Senseless getting spiteful as they draw closer.

Not a silly moral crusade, it's building a team.
Good teams make players look better all the time.
Committed Kane makes the team better no question.
Playing him when he's not committed makes other players in the team worse, even if he's still able to play well.
If Kane stays I can’t wait for his first poor game. There will be a total and utter meltdown on here
if its just small financial things this will get sorted quick, levy wont want to keep him if he is not committed
Those things aren't at play because Levy accepted the offer.
If they were at play then it would be a different situation. But they aren't and it isn't.
But anyway, bollox to it all. Don't give enough of a shit to keep arguing it out.
To suggest that Charlie is out smarting Levy is like suggesting that Dianne Abbott is better looking than Naomi Campbell.

Game?
First poor half.
Think it was a spursweb link off twitter in here or Kane thread mate.
Now I know how you meant it. And 100% agree.

Kane will play to the highest standards if he stays though, as he did last season. I mean, if he leaves on a free, he would have known last season that he didn't want to be here as well, but he was outstanding.
Modric didn't want to be here when we turned down the bid from Chelsea. He was outstanding again for one more season and then we sold him to Madrid.
The very best players will always deliver their best, it's part of what made them the level they are.
Benching these players would only tell the future Modric's and Kane's that Spurs is a club that will fuck with your career instead of further it. Not good for us.
I want us to sign a CB better than both Dier and Sanchez.
We have:
Romero
VDV
Davies
Phillips
Sanchez
Tanganga
Dier
We need to shift two more to accommodate 1 upgrade. There is no market for Dier and he seems set on staying. But we can flog Tanganga and Sanchez.
I think we are also banking on Phillips to step up as 4th choice
Romero ---- VDV
(Phillips) ----- (NEW CB)
(Dier)---- (Davies)
With this outcome, we only rely on Dier and Davies at CB in a real crisis.(Phillips) ----- (NEW CB)
(Dier)---- (Davies)
The wildcard for me is what kind of role Phillips is ready to play.
I keep reading this nonsense - Levy kepy him 2 years ago when he pretty much went on strike for a few weeks, if that isn't 'not committed' then I don't know what is. Yet once it was 'temporarily over' he knuckled down like a pro, and has continued to be superb for us in many games since. The idea that either Levy would deliberately ruin next season by insisting his best player is benched, or Kane would ruin next season by not giving everything, is just ludicrous and has already been proven as such 2 years ago.
LOL.... Now I know how I missed it..... I've had the Kane thread on ignore for years since it became a Son v Kane pissing contest; totally ruined by twats like KaneDombele & a few Korean teenaged girls.
