Generally positive about the direction the club is moving in over the last decade or so.
Will be fucking furious if we sell Kane though.
I clap when we win and don’t when we don’t.
I’m very pleased he shared those illuminating thoughts of his with us mere mortals.
I will sleep so much better tonight knowing that the great wise one has spoken.

You forgot the insistence that there is a better player somewhere in the academy. I guess Parrot in this instance. And the questioning of whether Harry was even Spurs to begin with.
Personally I'll be more annoyed with Levy if he doesn't sell Kane while his value's at it peak or at least close, and lets us get into another Eriksen farce.
We've got to stop whining about being a "selling" club if and when anyone gets sold. Every fucking club is a selling club, and a buying club, it forms a core part of 99% of football club’s business models, the trick is doing it well.
Look at clubs like Dortmund (many of the German clubs) who continually sell and buy, but keep moving forwards.
We desperately need to revamp our whole structure. DOF, recruitment apparatus (scouting, analytics etc) and I include recruiting the 15-18 group as well, and either integrating or loaning and farming as a valuable source of football or income value.

Honestly, I hate to say it but the time to sell was last summer if that would be the goal. Becuase of the state of the world and economy, the transfer bubble has probably just fully burst. No clubs are going to now offer the money that we could have received before.
All transfer values have probably dropped by 30-40 %.

We have our boy under contract until 2024, near his 31st birthday.
This will be a staggeringly enormous obstacle for any club considering making us an offer before he's 30.
Honestly, by that time I fear his injuries will prevent him from being a player anyone can count on.
All this talk of City, United, La Liga... more like Galatasaray on a 6 month loan (picking up his first team medal), before being released and snapped up on a free by West Ham.

I want to hunt you down and feed you to wild hogs.
Harry Kane just sent me a birthday card
Fuck selling Kane purely for money
It's not even because we'd spend it badly. It's because we won't spend it at all or we'll spend a tiny fraction. Or spend a tiny fraction of it badly lol.
We don't have rich history of doing this well. We KNOW we have a greedy cunt at the top.
Rather sell Kane when he's 30/31 for £50-60m than now for £150m- a third of which will be used badly for incomings (or wasted on shit like giving a past it chequebook manager a £15m contract).
If we don't want another Eriksen situation stop being tight cunts and buy players that will put us in a position to win things.

What the fuck? You mean he didn't score in that one (and only) final he played in? The one that was literally his first game back from injury, in which he didn't get a single clear chance and still wasn't one of our 5 worst players?
Seriously, go back and rewatch that final. Pay special attention to just how absolutely terrible everyone was and how Kane was one of the only Spurs players doing even the fundamentals (e.g. six yard passes) right.
On the other hand, becoming the fastest ever player to reach 20 CL goals is exactly what you would expect from a big-time player.
