Ex-Spurs Player Harry Kane

You've pretty much summed up my thoughts exactly! Although, the more Kane has sustained and actually elevated his game almost every season the more evident it is that he's an all-timer in the making and letting him go, no matter the fee would be foolish. Now more than ever, since I have absolutely zero trust in us spending the money well.
The Coutinho situation would probably be more comparable to Son. My favourite player by far, absolutely love the guy, but you could probably sell very high on him now too (stalled contract negotiations notwithstanding).
The other thing is that Van Dijk and Allison were kind of sitting there all shiny and full of potential screaming "buy me and get better". I can't say there's any real consensus of two players we should buy with the cash.
Any world class creative mids and centre backs out there we could snap up?
Sell. Rebuild. Win.
The idea that Haaland is staying put in Dortmund, especially after all those meetings he had, seems so suspicious eh? Perhaps they said it just to ease distraction for the end of this season. I mean he has absolutely EXPLODED this season in terms of performance and hype. Seems so weird that he wouldnt leave in this moment.
But yeah, to absolutely speculate I think Haaland is City's #1 wishlist item and Kane is the backup if that doesn't happen
I said this many pages ago, but the scary thing is not what happens if we get a massive bid for Kane, but what happens if we don't?
A wantaway Kane with rapidly declining asset value to the club would be a catastrophe.
If in doubt, blame Levy.
That would make sense if we had the right leadership with a vision.
But as it is we have Hitchen and don't even have a manager. I wouldn't be surprised if a new manager came in and said that he wants to see how the players perform for him and wants to hold onto the current crop. They'll get millions of pounds for failing anyway so what does it matter?
One of the biggest positives of Kane staying is that we don't give Hitchen 50% of Kane's transfer fee to find a replacement.
If we got a DOF in like Rangnick or Luis Campos in that would be another story. But as it is we are probably looking at Martinez or give Mason's Matestm an encore season. No wonder Kane has looked disinterested since Jose legged it. We have zero ambition above doing the bare minimum.
Did that actually get released by the club? That's a wild thing to say.
Bingo. Think that situation times ten, on a worse team.
Yep, loads of outlets are reporting it as Spurs’ official statement to them.
If that were anybody else saying that I'd laugh.
But Dan KP....

I really don't know but I don't expect to see a bidding war. If it is true that he wants to stay in England there are only three clubs that could compete for him but I think it will only be the two Manchesters. If they put a cap on what they want to spend Levy won't have any alternatives.
It's going to be very interesting .
Is it possible this is already a done deal?
The Daniel Levy I know could be anywhere from desperate to sell to totally confident and not even considering offers, or anywhere in between, and regardless his answer would be "not for sale at any price"
I doubt there’s a done deal; but I think that statement also reflects a bit of frustration at Kane that he has let his camp leak this before the season is over.
He’ll replace Agüero at City

Frustrated or not, they look totally ridiculous releasing a statement like that, particularly when so much of the focus of the actual power structure of the club is toward finding a new manager.
Why would they comment in the first place?
I think they’re a bit rattled and panicked. Bunch of amateurs.
Knee jerk reaction:
Never sell to City or United. Other clubs can pay similar money, and he's got 3 years on his contract. If he wants to go to Manchester, let him know he can be sold there in 24 months.
Don't want to fuck Kane over here, but we have a very vested interest in not selling the best striker alive to a direct rival.
Slightly considered reaction:
Sell to City. They'll just buy the title regardless of whether we cash in or not. Maybe we get lucky and play both fixtures later in the season when he's crocked, anyway.
