TFC's most pompous post award goes to.........
btw I did not say that you fucked up TFC - get it right.
I said it was dickheads like you
Don't build your part up, you are part of a mob, not a one man movement.
Yep
we are losing our best player, and we will see others go as well (I suspect)
The only way I see us keeping him will be a significant influx of top tier players and a "name" manager
and we all know that won't happen
Well that just proves beyond doubt that even trying to do things t be right way STILL isn't enough?
Why AREN'T we lauded as a perfect model of how a club SHOULD be run... instead of being ridiculed as tight fisted (we all know the underlying suggestions as to why) who are hard to deal with, keep players (sometimes against their will) and who are so desperate to get out of our 'hellhole' just to win ready made, pre-bought trophy 'success'?!
A coupla trophies would change a lot of that, but at the moment, we're simply fuelling the myth that doing things right doesn't guarantee success....
BUYING your way to success guarantees success.... which is a REAL shame!
Is anyone really surprised by this. We've seen it all before. Sol Campbell, Teddy, Berbatov, Carrick, Modric, Bale, Walker etc... People expecting him to stay and wait around in the vain hope we suddenly get our act together when there is no evidence ENIC have any intention of investing in anything other than infrastructure that ultimately makes them more revenue and adds to the value of their asset. We're the anchor tenant of their shiny new stadium thats about as much as we mean in the grand scheme of things. Heartbreaking but true.
i think we knew this day would come
if/when he goes good luck to him (except when he plays us)
i've said before his problem is Levy, Levy will only sell for top money and who will pay that ?
i don't think Harry will ever get to Shearers goal record he needs around 100 goals maybe got 4 seasons left at top level 20+ goals a season with his injury record ?

You mean someone like Mourinho?
No team bought top players and Kane for all his undoubted talent and our better players failed when they could have won trophies.
My simple take and last comment is that if Kane wants to leave then He wants to leave. Any reasons are purely selfish and driven by that only.
More importantly however is that he is under contract so I am under no whilst I am under no illusions that ultimately he may manoeuvre his way out I just hope it is absolutely on our terms and that we get the absolute best in terms of cost. And adequately replace him.
The club is bigger than any single player and if he goes I hope he lives to regret it and I hope he is content with bit part historical reference wherever he enda up as opposed to the legend status he was on his way to acquiring with us..
I am not interested in being decent or grateful. I am a Spurs fan and some posters need to remember that when bending their knee.
Still don't see how he leaves unless he downs tools. If he does, don't blame him, blame Levy. Kane is at such a high level now he's mixing it with the top 2 or 3 playes in Europe, why would he want another season in the Europa league or even the poxy Europa conference? He's 28 this summer and has dodgy ankles. I dont see him playing at the top level at 32/33.
This is down to years of poor decisions from the board, lack of transfers, then poor make do and mend transfers, Mourinho and most importantly not backing our best manager in a generation.

Good post.
Should have beaten Leicester to the PL came 3rd.
Meekly surrendered on the CL final where Pochettino dreamed of Kane scoring the winning goal.
And failed in the League Cup final just recently.
It is not as though we don't get close.
You are right and if the only avenue to success is spending stupid money then let's get very stupid money for our prized asset.

Nope.
If he ‘downs tools’ on 200k a week and proclaiming to have a deep connection with Spurs, then I absolutely will blame him. Don’t be such a cuck
Let’s just suppose that he has told Levy he wants out the best outcome could be to agree that he give another year and that is rumoured as to what happened at the end of last season.
People will point to Levy not selling to Chelsea and yep pre COVID, pre the stadium debt & pre the £175 million loan ( repayable in 13 days) that may well have been the case but Spurs are deep in debt so may not have many options
ENIC arent poor of that there is no doubt but their plan isn’t to keep putting wedge in ,their long term objective is the bottom line and that’s their trophy.
Agents are ruthless and timing is everything . Spurs last fixture is on 23/5 there then is a window of 15 days when Kane or his agents can threaten to cancel the last three years of his contract. Levy would then have to weigh up if this was a a threat and no more but if he ignored that threat and refused to agree to a transfer then Kane could ,however unlikely , end his contract. There wouldn’t be a£100+ million transfer fee what there would be is compensation.As he was an academy product there isn’t any amortised value so compensation, because that’s what you will get, based on the calculator in FIFAs regulations could be way below £15 million.
Now as has been pointed out very few players have left on what’s called a Webster but the point is they can and the threat of a player exercising their rights usually results in the player getting what they desire.
I have no idea if City , Utd or Chelsea or indeed any club worldwide is able or indeed willing to pay £120 million for Kane but the likelihood is that Kane’s wishes to remain in the PL and having had discussions with Kane’s representatives those three will be weighing up their options but one thing I would say to all Spurs fans is don’t dismiss anything because these ain’t normal times
Regardless of how he behaves..... When he scores a hat trick against us for Man City, I think the "he's one of our own" will probably be laid to rest.

Mick, thanks for the mention but if I wanted to take you apart this week I'd have done it when you were stanning for war crimes.
If he had a gentlemans agreement with Levy, which reports are saying and Levy backtracks then he has every right but he won't do that as he's too professional. Its why i don't see him leaving.

Id rather he leave in a deal that works for all parties than keep him here as a prisoner. That works in no ones favour as he will just be a negative presence
Kane has given us his whole career and nearly three golden boots and the club have not matched his (or our) ambitions.
I won’t hold it against him as he has given Levy years to pull his finger out
That would not surprise me what so ever.
Levy is a fucking snake. I suppose being a successful businessman brings that along naturally.
100% barca madrid munich would have him. But he wants to stay in the league. Only 3 clubs can afford him. If he goes to chelsea his record should be expunged that he never played with us.
