Harry Kane

[jrb]

Or Spurs just want to keep their best player because without Kane we are a much weaker team?

I posted that.

But just as importantly.

Lewis and Levy along with ‘Arsenal’, you bitter rivals, United and Liverpool, have all been trying to destroy City for the last 10 Years, in private and via Uefa and the PL. So why is Levy going to sell Kane to an owner and a club he hates?

Reading the stories from tonight, it’s clear where this is going, and whose fault is it.

Jason Burt.
Started out at Liverpool echo and I'm sure is a Chelsea fan.
He will write zero positive about us.

Well, not really? He's not putting up any ultimatum. In fact, reports are saying he'll "continue to give everything to spurs", meaning he'll stay and shut up about it. Spurs have a very easy win here - just don't sell.

Reports from levy’s lackey’s?

Just don’t sell? How many times has that worked out when a player wants to leave? Spurs won’t be getting 100m next season or any other season. This is petty football politics. Prob think we have stopped them from being challengers.

Deflection at its best.

Anyone still confident we’ll get him this summer?

Yes. We'll pay whatever amount is required to get the deal done.

I think it's time we said to Gabriel, who has a good goals to minutes ratio, Kun's gone, go and make the position yours.

We still have a fortnight to sort this so there is time, however the rumours that Levy won’t “pick up the phone” seem like a lazy brief from Kane’s camp. I really hope we have this under control because it’s as clear as day we need a forward.

Pure theatre, all this. He’s ours.

Spurs fans still haven’t learned a thing after: Bale (sold 1st September), Modric (sold 27th August), Berbatov (sold 1st September), Eriksen (sold 28th Jan), to name just a few.

Levy always sells his best players, and he always sells them late - every time - so he doesn’t have to reinvest the money properly. Yet still he comes up smelling of roses - despite the club winning precisely fuck all under his watch - because his mates in the media paint an abject failure to hang onto anyone decent, who displays a bit of genuine ambition when passing through their club, as some sort of hard man negotiator act.

Same shit every time, yet they still fall for it.

The guy has to be the biggest fraud in Football.

Absolutely

Exactly, why do players box themselves into a corner, what happens if they fall out with a manager, you’d think it common sense to have an exit strategy. He would have held all the power when negotiating his new contract so I have little sympathy.

Merely a guess, but I imagine players do what they can to secure as much money as possible while they’re still top flight footballers. They’re worth millions for 10-15 years and there’s no knowing if your career will simply decline at any stage or if freak injuries occur which would render them worthless.

£60mil (£10mil per year) over six years dangled in front of him was what Tottenham offered him and he accepted it. Possible it dawned on him recently that he’ll be in his thirties by the time the contract ends but have nothing to show at the back end of his career. That and the realisation he would walk into most top clubs right now and earn good money.
