Harry Kane

No, he’s saying that someone at City told them they had a strong concern about Harry Kane’s knee, and that is why there’s a reluctance to spend that sort of money

Yes but if reports are correct we have already bid 100m. That would suggest we are ok with paying 100m (possibly more) on a player that is known to have problems with his knee (and possible ankles). All a bit odd imo.
 
Reading reddit, it's interesting how annoyed other fans are we won't spend the money. I know it's not my money, but I enjoy not being hoodwinked these days and just telling clubs "no".

It's funny on there because one day there will be a load of people saying "a player is only worth what a club will pay for them" and then the next day "Harry Kane is easily worth £150m. Pay up or fuck off." And then, to add another layer of contradiction, when rumours come out that we want £50m for Bernardo, they'll say things like "who has £50m to spend right now?"
 
His injuries are not even that bad tho….I think he had one season where he missed 6/7weeks other Haven been a lot less. Heck aguero was always injured and was a hell of a striker. If he could score even half what aguero did it would be great investment

Like I replied to the other poster, I don't consider "games missed" to be some sort of magic bullet to dismiss his injuries.

He has a habit of going down over international breaks which means he misses fewer games, but the fact remains he is injuring the same ankle multiple times a season and they're getting more and more frequent.
 
That's not what I'd call looking into his injuries properly.

IMO clearly has a completely fucked ankle. They are only getting more and more frequent, and any kind of contact on his ankles seems to put him out for a minimum of 10 days which suggests to me something is permanently damaged and he's playing through it.

September 2016 Ankle injury.
March 2017 He reinjures the same ankle.
March 2018 Ankle injury again.
January 2019 Ankle injury.
April 2019 Ankle injury.
November 2020 Ankle injury (this is reported as unknown, but it happened after he limped off with after a challenge on his ankle vs. Iceland)
January 2021 Ankle injury.
April 2021 Ankle injury.

Spurs do rely on him, but he's gone through summers like 2019 with no international tournaments and not had a corrective surgery, so it seems unlikely to me that anything can be done to fix it. He's also got a habit of re-injuring it when they think it's fixed (ie being out for 40 days in Jan 2019 then coming back for 2 weeks and missing another 50 days)


I'm sure he'll keep playing through it, but it's not going to get better on its own, in fact these repetitive injuries usually just get worse and worse as a player approaches 30. I do not believe he's going to make it far past 30 at the top level, but....who cares? There will always be world class strikers around and if money is no object we'll get 2 or 3 years out of Kane and fuck him off when he can't produce any more.

I'd be worried about KDB's injuries if he was a player we were about to spend £160m on too.

I think his injuries are one of the main reasons we've bought Grealish. We now have another absolutely world class midfielder on the pitch when Kev is not fit and can be more relaxed about his recoveries as he gets into his 30s.
