Harry Kane

[BillyShears]

No it wouldn’t and we’ll have a limit. We will pay what we can afford. We seem determined to get Kane, we will know we can’t get him for any less than £120 mill plus add ons IMO. If we thought he was out of our reach we’d have distanced ourselves from the stories, sounds like we’ve said we won’t pay 160 mill, but unlike other players haven’t said we aren’t interested.

If you can be arsed go find the Kyle Walker thread.

So many spooky similarities ... from "Levy will never sell" to "he's average and overrated" to "he's injury prone and can't play 3 games a week that's why they're selling him". People really don't like Spurs A LOT on here, and it shows when even taking their best players sends the forum into meltdown.

Take away the fee and wages, which I admit I find ridiculous, but not a hinderance to me wanting him to come as it is the clubs perogative what they are willing to pay

So take away the fee and wages and shelve the silly "too old and we never buy at this age range" and "always injured" daftness as both are untrue

Why would you not want him here to improve our squad and strikeforce which has just lost the best the league has seen.

If it is because it ain't haaland, well we have no idea what will happen with him or if he will even leave dortmund this season and mbappe has turned us down once, don't think he will ever want to come.

Seriously we used to pick at the scraps of free agents, players on their last legs and journeymen now we have two, maybe three of tge best strikers in the world as a possibility with one wanting to come, to turn your nose up for any of the above is, in my opinion ridiculous.

Let's buy the ****, see what happens, or we can not bother and possibly get no one or someone not as good like Ings and if that happens well I expect some of the 48.6% will be moaning about Txiki then.

I think it's the English element too. Buying players they know the ins and outs of for some reason isn't as appealing to them as buying a foreigner from some glam club on the continent.

I was talking to someone the other day and saying that its weird how we're different from the continent. If you go to Spain or Italy or Germany, they LOVE taking players from rivals. It's a point of pride that Madrid/Barca/Bayern/Juve et al take the best players in their respective leagues. The supporters revel in it. Dunno why we're so different in England.

I funking hate Spurs, only the rags come before them in teams I dislike.

However I don't bring that into consideration when we are looking to poach their players.


Fuck em but I will have your striker thank you very much

The difference in these 2 cases is the vast amount of money.

With Walker, City might have been haggling over a 5-10m difference. With Kane its like a 50m difference.

In this market, you can see why many are doubtful of a sale.

I can’t be arsed but the Grealish thread is similar and I’d take a guess the Sterling one would have been too. Think it’s people see premier league players week in week out and let their prejudices influence their thinking.Obviously with foreign players playing in leagues they don’t watch or just see highlights they don’t have those built up prejudices.

It is weird. Imagine not getting excited by the prospect of pipping the other top clubs in the league to signing the best striker in the league, if not Europe? And not only that, the fact the player openly wants to come here? Then add that they'd be excited by a kid untried in this league, quality though he is?

I'm buzzing by the prospect of Kane leaving Spurs, not even contemplating the likes of United and Liverpool, and coming here. There is literally nothing not to like here.

At the time everyone was having kittens over the 'vast amount of money' being spent on Walker. So no different whatsoever IMO.

Ultimately the club have decided they want Kane and are going to pay a British transfer record fee for him. That's perfectly normal for arguably the best number 9 in the country and top 3 or top 5 in the world. It's also pretty funny that a lot of the same people who are arsed about his fee, think we should pay whatever it takes to Raiola, Alfie, Dortmund, and Haaland himself.

You CANNOT judge a transfer before it's happened, absolutely not. Certainly not the fee nor the players wages. Doing that is how you end up with headlines like "the 50 million pound flop". Again IMO of course.
