AKA The Bale Plan, but shorter.
You and others like you are saying he's leaked it and done it in purpose etc. Read your posts and those others. Fucking disgraceful."Anti-Kane", are you insane? For discussing a major news story. No one has insulted Kane as far as I can see, quite the opposite.
I'm not saying it's my timeline. To counter your argument why should it be in the timeline you want that suits your anti Kane agenda. Allmof your points are relevant but 5 days makes no difference to him wanting to leave so he wouldn't have said it until after the final game. Some snidey bastard in his 'team' leaked this purposely and it's fucked H.
He hasn't leaked anything - he has effectively released an unofficial statementYou and others like you are saying he's leaked it and done it in purpose etc. Read your posts and those others. Fucking disgraceful.
His agency almost assuredly leaked the story to put pressure on Levy to do it before the Euros. The statement from the club pretty much implied as much.You and others like you are saying he's leaked it and done it in purpose etc. Read your posts and those others. Fucking disgraceful.
Also mate, some of the stuff you use as evidence is merely clickbait posited by the media. Zero proof he consented to the leak. ZERO
They are not his mates though - they all work for him and do as instructed.So that means he told them or knew about it prior? Have a word mate.
Do you know everything your mates say or are gonna say about you prior to the event?
Even if it costs us European qualification? A mountain of negativity around the club in the build up to a game? He really couldn't have waited a week, you really think that was too much to ask? Why not wait till after the major tournament, which was when Suarez said he wanted out of Liverpool if I recall?
We went back and above previous levels of spending during a lockdown pandemic.All this tells me is we're back to spending what WE spent before taking a dip. Meanwhile the market has moved on and higher fees have been the case everywhere.
There is no evidence from 20 years of ENIC to suggest we will ever compete in the transfer market .
It's not just about getting the best player for us in the deal.
It's about sending a message that in order for these teams to take the best player we have, they're going to have to sacrifice one they value.
Bit like Hawkeye and Blackwidow
Yeah, I get that. It won't work though. Teams are always only going to let players go that they feel are expendable. We're not going to realistically attract better players than the likes of Ake and Jesus without Champions League football, regardless of how much we get for Kane and how much of that Levy gives to our new manager, whoever that is.
What statement from the club?His agency almost assuredly leaked the story to put pressure on Levy to do it before the Euros. The statement from the club pretty much implied as much.
If we can't attract better players than Ake and Jesus this summer we may as well give up right now and liquidate the club. Neither of them are better than what we have now.
Rough couple days for future manager Graham Potter. No one to finish his xG anymore.
Maupay to replace Kane?Rough couple days for future manager Graham Potter. No one to finish his xG anymore.
I find it very disingenuous by Kane and his Brother if they have done this. I do not care about Levy, We as Spurs fans have paid good money and supported him for almost 20 years by supporting Spurs and to turn his back on the fans is unforgivable for a plastic club run by people who endorse state rape and state murder is disgusting. The fact is if it was not for clubs like City and PSG distorting football with their sports washing , I am certain we would have won a title under Poch. The fact is the media was far too concerned about the ESL when football was already broken by these people investing billions of pounds of state money into football which makes it impossible to compete. Sheikh Mansour and his ilk are the lowest form of scum they do not see other people they just see the washing of their names when they win.I don't have an anti Kane agenda at all.
I think he should leave, he has given us everything and more, and deserves success in the game, success we obviously are not prepared/able to give him.
Kane is too good for us.
But to say that some snide has leaked it without Kane's agreement is behaving like an ostrich.
Without doubt he has instructed his agent (his own brother) to find him another club and make it known he is wanting out, and in all likelihood in response to hearing the plans the club has for this summer, and due to the club going back on its word with him last summer, he feels he has to take the initiative.
