Harry Kane

I agree but you can't afford him.
1. PL winners money
2. Finalist's Champions league money
3. Aguero (the highest) wages gone
4. Selling income since last financial year - About £100m, and still a trasnfer month to go.
5. Previous years accounts loaded with -ve's (as they were going to be bad from Covid, might as well lump the crap together, but still only 15% ish drop in revenue). This years and next expected to be back in profit.
6. Nowhere near breaching FFP
7. £11m for Sancho signing to United
8. league cup winners (small but adds to the pot)
9. FA Cup Semi (small but adds to the pot)

And that's just off the top of my head.
 
Very true in normal times.

But you are in the financial shit mate.

£45mil finance costs in the last accounts

£250mil extra borrowed to see you through these difficult times.

City/Chelsea in the CL again and will likely earn €90-£125mil. Meanwhile Spurs didn't even make the Euro League. Larne way back from losing out HUGE euro revenue which you've had a good hsare of in recent times.

Your squad weaker than under Poch. Your club weaker without Poch.

So not normal times. It's a fire sale and Levy needs the money. Simple.
Haha....well done, just incase everyone misses it.

This is all true, what the Spurs fans are missing though is the fee is amortised over the coming 5 years. So whether we can afford it is dependent on expected income in the coming 5 years. We expext to keep winning things and getting to finals. We expect the Etihad deal to be replaced with a bigger deal or deals, we expect income from the arena and other projects all to increas our income so yes we do expect we can afford it.

Sane and Angelino money deferred to this year too .... totalling 68m
 
I really believe Spurs are comfortable in the situation they find themselves in, they will be delighted to keep the player or take the money at full asking price. Anything less isn't worth it, for context Spurs made £61m for reaching the last 16 of the CL in 2020, Arsenal made £17m for reaching the last 32 of the Europa league. Harry Kane's worth to Spurs is right there,
You're not even in the Europa League. The way you're heading reminds me a little of Leeds United under Risdale.

Plus reputation - transfer targets insisting on release clauses to contracts, no "gentleman's agreement" if Levy can't be trusted.

Why not just use the (shirt sales alone will pay for the fee) as the rags usually do
 
For me it looks like you have a 35 year old keeper, no defence to speak of, a midfield made up of players who either creative and lightweight, robust and limite din creativity, or just plain undisciplined and some attackers who everyone recognises are useful (who doesnt love Son?) but who can't do a thing playing with the mediocrity that you maintain in midfield and defence.

Thats pretty much my assessment of your squad.

ha.

I am mildly insulted. If, indeed, you can be insulted by a dismissive assessment of the club you support... Holberg is comparable to most in that position, Lo Celso is a star of the Copa, and Ndombele who, of course, once famously destroyed a City team, is a better midfield than you think.

We shall see on the first day of the season. The one thing we do know is that Sir Harry Kane will not be there.
 

Interesting article sorry if already posted.

I think Redknapp’s guess of what Levy has said to Kane will be correct. The rest we will see.
I don't. I don't think this is about the money. I think the money's there. I think Tottenham just want to delay the move as much as possible and Kane isn't having it.
