Methinks someone needs to look up the definition of "contradict". And when they are done with that (it's sad that I have to spell this out AND bring up this example as if it is novel) they should also look at Liverpool's example and results after Coutinho. Many more examples in the world of non-English sports as well. Shame you desire Spurs to be a one man team forever and that it is the only definition of ambition you and other legacy fans hold.
We should get a fee in line with what someone is willing to pay ie their ascribed value of a 28yo player with significant hx of leg injuries/time spent on the sidelines and their position as the only bidder/interested party. You know Guids, what the market will bear. Can't imagine Harry not showing up to training because DL has let this go so long would improve any offer. But I actually think it was done some time ago just like the Walker move.
Perhaps you needed to tell others on this board this but I've been leading this choir for some decent amount of time my friend.
Then you never really loved the player but rather what he did for your club. Fair enough then. good of your to claim it though. Just make sure not to sing praises of love and glory when the next player does something good in your estimation. Just say "all praises to Daniel Levy and ENIC" and be done with it. I know a guy named Joan that might wanna have a word though.
Rather see City win than most others. Were you celebrating with Chelsea instead this summer? City are here to stay and their accomplishments can easily be rationalized as bought...plus, Pep.
Harry didn't write that song and didn't cultivate the idea in supporter's minds. And he's been the model professional. He shouldn't need to while away his career in the Conference League to have your support you heartless bastard*. Perhaps if your boy DL hadn't run this club into the ground trying to save every penny when it was clear we needed investment he might still be here til the end. Just remember, your boy DL stood pat in 2018, got rid of the best manager we've had in ENIC's time here, and brought in the Dino for good measure. This ain't on Harry and he shouldn't have to suffer the caprice of your displeasure. You heartless bastard.
*jokes, of course.
Don't build a strawman around my posts, please.
He's a world-class player, one of the best strikers in the world that's under contract with us with THREE years remaining on it. This means if a club wants to buy him they will have to pay an appropriate fee. Spurs are under no pressure to sell, the pressure is on the buying club, either they do or don't put in an appropriate bid that reflects the above position around him.
DL hasn't let this go on too long. If there was a "gentleman's agreement" made between him and Kane what do you think that was? DL: "we will sell you, Harry, for 60% of what your value is"!??! It's City that are letting this go on too long, they haven't offered enough money. If they value Grealish at £100m then Kane is worth substantially more than that, every metric in the book will support this. City doesn't need to get this done quickly, they've just won with the League without a CF, with a part-time striker with worse stats than Vinicius!!
I would love to buy something from you, do you own a house? If you do I'm only going to offer you 60% of its value and I expect you to sell it to me immediately. Once I've bought it from you, you are welcome to buy it from me back but I would want double the amount because I am ambitious and I'm trying to raise money so that I can reinvest it, I know will be sympathetic in what I am trying to do here, so cheers for all your help, it's much appreciated for you not trying to get in my way of being ambitious by allowing me to get one over you.
I only support Spurs. I don't "support" players. I like and/or don't like players, I arrive at who I like and don't like by how they played, made me feel watching them and how they conducted themselves whilst at my Club. I didn't, therefore, welcome Bale back as an example, I thought he acted like a dick when he left (I also thought that he wasn't a good fit stylistically for how I want Spurs to play). A recent example of another player that recently left that I like is Eriksen, he was straight with the club on wanting to leave, he didn't sign a new contract (unlike Kane), he didn't refuse to turn up to training, was always available to play and improved the team's performance when he did play (off the bench), stated openly he wouldn't join another PL rival.
Kane's entire brand is built around the clean living, great Dad, great husband, loyal boyhood Spurs fan. This brand is at odds with him pushing the stories in the press at the end of last season and him now not turning up at the training ground. Just look at Grealish vs Kane right now.
If Kane is sold for an appropriate fee (as per above) then we can reinvest this money well it will be good for us (if invested wisely). I need to remind you that the Coutinho sale went on for over a season. I'd argue all day that he's NOT a "Klopp type" player, by that he's not an aggressive counter-presser, I think they played that sale brilliantly and marketed him out as a Barca Club type player whilst also saying he's not for sale to push the price up, whilst actually not wanting him as he's not a typical "Klopp player" (at that time Eriksen's numbers were far superior to that of Coutinho in almost every metric but the dumbest Club on the planet, Barca, overpaid just as they did for almost every player they've bought for the last 7yrs or so).
Will Kane be worth less than £100m next season with two years left on his contract? No. So, spend the next +12 months selling him, more importantly giving us time to rebuild the squad with targets properly scouted and profiled and agreed on by a management team that's had longer than 2 weeks working together.
Like I said I'm comfortable with Kane going but
1. Only for a fee that benefits Tottenham, not that benefits a rival. If it's to a rival then we fuck them and fuck them hard, that means sell him to City (if they want him) for £30m more than we can get to say from PSG). But ultimately, if Kane wants to leave then sure mate, we've Inter or Juve will take you so you can get the scudetto you've always dreamed of.
2. Because I suspect we are playing a style of football (slow) to fit him in, rather than him play a style we want because he can't anymore.
3. I will not be cheering him on at City, never in a month of Sunday's. I would want him to fail there.
