Ex-Spurs Player Harry Kane

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

The ad hominem attacks on me are hilarious and just shows the level of dimwits this forum attracts.

People can have different opinions and not be abused.

cum on guys. You’re better than this.
 
I'd feel he'd sold himself very cheap. Even Grealish had a £100m clause. I'd have expected at least £150m, wouldn't you?

TBF, that would have been on Levy.....

The lower the clause the better it is for any player..... The higher the clause, the better for the club.

The detail is all in the negotiations.

Because he’s one of those Kane fans who follows the player not a club.

He’s about as big a Spurs fan as Arsene Wenger is.
Agreed. Crispin just seems to be one of those people who support an individual, not a club.

No different to the merry band of bellends that signed up when Jose joined the club then left when he got sacked.
 
look you can write all the damning paragraphs about him but do you think he gives a fuck? A footballers career is 10-12 years at best. Time is running out and Harry wants to get a few medals on the shelf before his times up. Football isn’t about loyalty any more. None of this is personal for Harry, it’s only business.

So on your argument that a footballers career is 10-12 years at best why did Harry sign up for 6 and if he thought it wasn’t working out then why didn’t put in a transfer request instead of doing that stupid interview ?

Doesn’t make sense
 
we have to be realistic. I initially thought that when city offered 120m for him we’d get maybe 140m.

I think in the current climate that’s about right. Harry’s great and been great but it’s clear we need to rebuild. Levy tacking on 20m on top of that is just laughable.

so we get the worst of both worlds. A player who will have a troubled mind all season, angry at the chairman for lying to him. Fans looking like idiots as they cheer him after snake and cunt jibes. And then next season provided he’s not injured we sell him for probably a lot less than 140m.

A wasted season. Resentment everywhere.

the smart chairman would have said thanks for a fantastic ten years you will always be a legend and welcome here while pocketing 140m for a player who is statistically due an injury pretty soon.

what you think is right money wise is different to what I think for the reasons given above.
But City haven't offered 140 million.They offered a 100,and havent came back.And yesterday,pep made a statement saying it was down to us to get back in touch with them.
Thats not how it works.And as for a player with a troubled mind, we have a world cup next year.I think someone as single minded as Kane would manage to perform well enough with that in mind. Both for his Engalnd career and to keep us and the club happy.

Not sure why you want something that in essence is doing a premiership rival a massive favour.Not for me!If City want him,then they pay what he is worth and its them that set the benchmark on this one by paying a 100 million for Grealish.
As one of our American cousins said on the subject a week or so ago ,City need to shit or get off the pot.
 
I'm okay with being deemed childish, if it's coming from you. Twice now, you've gone and ended the same point with "It's that simple" and "Simple as that".

Now, THAT is childish and an argumentive point from someone not used to talking to people outside of forums. It's just another way of saying, I'm clearly right and if you cannot see it, you must be thick. It's arrogant, and I do understand now, how you're seeing a kindred spirit in Kane.
And that coming from ‘a grown man’!
LOL
 
Not sure Kane has never been quick and players without pace like Teddy, Scholes and Terry go on for ages at the top. Long as he looks after himself he could be decent for a while. Obviously City will need fast players around him but they can afford that.

Still at this point £130m and Silva or Laporte I might accept.
Its not about the pace so much as the sharpness. Look back at his 2015- 18 goals and form. He also used to close down from the from more when we pressed. He just had more about him imo. Not saying he's finished and i think he has at least 2 more seasons showing last years sort of form. Just think its the time to sell at the right price or we'll all be talking about him leaving in 12 months time.

Well he isn’t going to city now they‘ve spunked 100m on Grealish. FFP and all that.

And as far as I was aware they offered 120m a while ago.

City have not bid above £100m yet why should we take less than Kane is worth when they just paid £20-25 million more than Jack Grealish is worth.

The fact is the Premier League needs to stop doing business with City they are a cancer to the game and they are backed by an evil regime that believes in torture.
 
Nope, not this year. I think the three years remaining are crucial to the whole thing. Next year? Much more likely but as the clock ticks down the power shifts from club to player.

Next year City will sign Haaland and then the only club that can afford him won't want him.
He ain't daft. He knows if he doesn't go now he's not going because no one wants
 
Such a shit show. It's been humiliating supporting the club for a while now.

God knows what will happen but I find Kane's reply insulting. Why didn't the club say initially he wasn't due back until whenever? It's not in their interests to drive the wedge further especially if they plan on hanging on to him.

Even if he stays, he's going to get so much shit from away fans and that's surely going to effect the whole team. City have made him look a right tit and while I love Kane it has definitely diminished his legacy.

The one thing that keeps rolling through my mind is that Kane has been in a champions League final, he didn't score and he's our striker, the world's best apparently. He was in the Carabao cup final, he didn't score and he's our striker, the world's best apparently. And even there against city it was a narrow scoreline. So he wants to win trophies but not score in finals? That thing about losing your virginity to a prostitute is very apt!
 
He has more chance of winning things at a big club than with us.

We lack the ambition he has. Simple as that.

I can see no reason why his salary shouldn’t be commensurate to his peers that are in the bracket of top ten players in the world. Would you say Lewandoski or Haarland should take a pay cut to move?

People have become too emotional about this. It makes sense to sell him for the player and the club. He can’t go any further with us and we are skint. It should have been a friendly parting but Levy can’t do normal.

The melting on here is amusing but it’s more embarrassing tbh. People posting gifs of snakes saying it’s Kane. Calling him a cunt etc. Saying he should play for 50p was particularly good.

Very poor and childlike behaviour.
He increases his chances of winning the two “bigger” trophies. He guarantees nothing.

It is nothing to do with ambition either way, David Ginola never played in a Champions League Final. Hell he never even kicked a ball once in the Champions League for Tottenham. When he left Spurs, he was absolutely devastated to do so. When Kane leaves Spurs he does so because he’s got even richer. I know which player is a legend to me.
