Harry Kane
- Thread starter Super Joey Hart
- Start date
Not for me, great goal scorer but not a superstar especially outside Newcastle.Genuine question - do you believe Alan Shearer was a superstar?

You should see the politics thread.always makes me laugh when people invent stuff to justify their own beliefs. "most spurs fans think he's past his best" is just an incredibly easy thing to disprove, yet still people write this

I'm still convinced we won't strengthen as much as other club around us which will lead us to be playing catch up again for a couple of seasons...we won't break a habit of a lifetime on paying a record fee
Agree. Very few superstars around. This category is for Messi, ronaldo, maradona, goater :-)Not for me, great goal scorer but not a superstar especially outside Newcastle.
Its not the money itself, but rather that spunking the quoted amounts on Kane when combined with whatever version of ffp is getting thrown at us now will stop us spending anything else. Basically we should be getting at least two players for £160m
Scum spent a billion and won next to nowt fuck all!
Ffp monitoring Period over 4 years as it stands now so we be fine! I bet our net spend won’t be more than 125m..

The angle regarding Guardiola’s contract Is interesting - dare I say it purchasing Kane could have parallels to that lot buying Van Persie when they did.Aye - tend to agree with you on this.
Whilst I appreciate Kane is a top striker I rather we play the long game here where its clear quite a few clubs are struggling financially to compete in a hopefully soon to be post COVID world. Why give them a financial lifeboat just at the right time when they need it with their fancy new stadium. Barca seem to be a good example now of the perils a club face if they don't have their finances in order & are highly leveraged.
Another further year of Spurs trying to balance the books may hit the nail on the head on Levy's ridiculous transfer demands, similar to the rags getting Sancho from Dortmund for a reduced fee compared to their valuation last summer.
Would have extended Sergio & then got all out next summer for either Kane or Haaland where the finances of the clubs would have really been tested after a year of trying to recover since most likely any reserves to stay afloat would have most likely been eaten up this or last year.
If we do sign Kane it also suggests to me that Pep most likely won't continue with us after his final two years are up. He wants a ready made top striker now to give him the two year window to finally win the Chumps league & as well as clean up domestically with us. Waiting for Haaland financially or any young striker where we are hesitant if they will make the same impact in the Premiership & adapt to Pep's tactics will take time which I think the board will probably be aware of.
The finance angle is really why I was so surprised that we were ready to jump into bed with the Super League idea - it would have helped us financially, but less so than for the others, and at the end of the day it’s all relative.
I’m sure the club will only proceed with any major outlays if they think it will work financially, but the cost of inaction is probably a lot lower than it would be in a normal environment.
