Harry Kane

But what is that number ? According to this morning’s Telegraph Levy wouldnt even accept £150m which, apparently, we are unwilling to pay. Sounds like we are at an impasse. Time to move on IMO.

Which points us back towards Rule of Life #1. 'Thou shalt not believe a single fucking word in the papers'

Think he's shown great resilience to come back so well "half the striker" just shows anyone can spin this anyway they want.

I can't tell if you're deliberately bringing up a year old comment or not.

If you are, he came back better than I thought he would so far, to be fair to him, but I was correct about him losing his pace completely.

Still think it's an incredibly reckless thing to do, spending £160m+ on a 28 year old with a history of big injuries, but I'm not in charge and it's not my money. I was more stringently against it when Haaland was on the market, but that ship has sailed for this year anyway.

And I think we'll look at Haaland in 3 years time and be devastated he's scoring a goal a game for a decade wearing someone else's shirt.

But if Pep demands him, the club will get him, and for 2 years while Pep's here it'll probably be a good deal, until we're spending £200m on a new striker in 2024/25.

Has there ever been a more boring transfer saga.

Have you looked in to kanes injuries properly? (Not a dig just a question)

I thought the same till I actually looked at it

Over like the last 4/5 season hes averaged 30 games a season

I think the thing that dosent help kane is that as soon as he can walk.again spurs play him.for 90 mins and hes so mismanaged when is comes to injuries

Many tragic ones

Barney Daniels Gerald Creeney, Robert Taylor, Lee Bradbury, etc etc

I get where you're coming from, but I remember a lot of people complaining about Sterling last season and saying Grealish (among others) would make us much stronger on the left side

I suppose Van Persie would have been a luxury player in the summer of 2012, given that we had Agüero, Tevez, Džeko and Balotelli at the club, but a lot of people still claim that not signing him handed the title to the Rags

The thing is most people suggesting that we're doing so assuming we would move sterling on and replace him not add another player to compete for the same place.

I honestly can't remember who we had or what their form was around the time van persie left arsenal but he was undoubtedly the best striker in the league and was available for peanuts, two very different situations.

Personally, I wasn't crying out for a striker and I am easy either way.
We don't yet know how Verane or Sancho will perform in the PL.
Lukaku - we will see. He is better than what they had but why do you think he is more of an improvement than Kane if you also think our need for a striker is huge?

You're right we don't, but that's true for any signing. Given their past performances though, it's very difficult to claim they haven't significantly improved. They would both need to be an absolute catastrophe for them not to improve them.

I do think we desperately need a striker I just think Lukaku fits Chelsea's approach and what they are missing better than how Kane would potentially fit in here.

more of the same old sh*te

Yeah why should Spurs do something? It’s up to us.

 

[Delphinho]

It’s gone quiet again. Can only mean one of two things.
1. It’s happening
2. It’s not happening
I’m sure.

Are you Fabrizio Romano by any chance?

Reminds me of the paul stewart saga when every summer we were going to buy him back from tottingham, he ended up at the red scouse, using that calc I have stuck a fiver e/w on kane to sign for the red scouse who miraculously have the money left over from the sale of ian rush

Yeah. Makes no sense. And that aside, when is the Spurs deadline they were on about supposed to expire, so we can go and get Ronaldo?
