We were already in lockdown with suggestions it would likely continue for another year.

I don't believe for a moment that Levy / Spurs didn't give a passing thought to the potential of lockdown lasting a year. We were first out the traps penny pinching, furloughing staff etc. then splashing out a record net spend in the summer.

You could be right, but there comes a point where you're in over your head... are we there yet? I don't know... Maybe we are and maybe that's why Harry wants to leave... ...if it's true...

When he signed the contract he stated he was more than happy here why we continued to improve and competed. We're doing neither. If Levy felt the contract was totally binding then why even bother saying give me another season? If Levy did say that then i dont want a pissed off player here next season.

If it was so important to him then he should've insisted on a release clause, as it is a buyer will have to meet a fee we deem acceptable, if no-one does so then what's the point in whining to the club about wanting to leave? Does he expect us to actively shop him around?

Also he can put a fucking transfer request in if he's so desperate to get out, fed up of players making out they won't do that out of respect, it's obviously technicality to keep hold of their 'loyalty' bonuses.
 
Just don't see it happening.. don't think the money required would make it a good deal for any of the realistic suitors. United maybe the most realistic, but you could bring in Sancho +Vlahovic for the price of Kane and both 6/7 years younger. It just doesn't make sense at that price, as much as a love the player.

Had we faith in our recruitment, upwards of 130m plus whatever money we make from other player sales, and a good managerial hire could set us up really well for the next few years.

I dunno, I'm not too worried about it either way. I think we'll be a competitive team next season as long as we don't hire Scott Parker.

Agree with that last bit.Whats the difference saying you want to leave,or handing in a transfer request?
None.
Apart from a few million in your trousers.

If we had some decent infrastructure and footballing intelligence in the club then I think a process where we sell our best players for huge money once we’ve got some good years out of them is a good model. The right model for us.
We aren’t a Chelsea, city or Utd financially (yet) but have competed over the past years. No reason why, with good recruitment we couldn’t develop another group of talented players that can challenge.

See Leicester as a prime example.
 
I can't blame him, he was let down by the board... but I just wish he loved Spurs more than trophies. I know it's sounds like pathetic.

Going to City is just the easy way out.

I dont disagree on the transfer request and maybe he will. Our chairman shouldn't be such a weasel though if this true. Keeping unhappy players, particulaly if they are the figurehead is a masdive mistake imo.

They need Kane more than Sancho. Greenwood is doing well playing on the right for them, In a few years time they could play Kane deeper, like a number 10, and Greenwood up top if they wished to. Kane is still not even 28 and the way he's adapted his game already, he will be playing at the top for at least another 5 years yet with a bit of luck on his side every player needs. If he joins United he guaranteed them 25-30 goals in a team that will create many more chances than we do, if he stays fit. He'll be the difference between finishing 2nd well behind the likes of City and a genuine title challenge.

Cavani has just signed a new one year deal though and I'm sure he didn't sign it to be a backup to anybody.

How about how fortunate Kane's been? Never had to do a day's work in his life and a multi millionaire just for playing football, and it was all on his doorstep where he was given this oppurtunity. So many modern footballers have no concept of how privileged they are. They always want more and poor poor Kane hasn't got any winner's medals so he wants to go to the place he's guaranteed them, even if he hardly plays or is just wheeled out by Guardiola for special occasions to play in front of fans for whom he'll just be their latest new toy they'll soon get bored of and villify every bad game and start demanding another new toy instead.

I really thought Kane was more than that, I'm so disappointed in who he's revealed himself to be.

That is unbelievably harsh on him. When was the last time we had a striker like him who has consistently scored 20 plus goals every season over 5 or 6 years. Yes he is paid well like all footballers these days but unlike the majority he has delivered and always puts a shift in. I'm glad he is ambitious and doesn't want a career without medals and satisfied with just a bulging bank account.

Why should he sacrifice himself for you any longer when you yourself are so easily prepared to shit on him just because he wants to move on after spending nearly all his career at Spurs. You are disappointed at who he has revealed himself to be???? Fucking outrageous
