Harry Kane

[Lovebitesandeveryfing]

Dixie Dean? He scored 60 in a single campaign if I correctly remember a stat I read.

Yep. For years Charles Buchan's Football Monthly (anyone remember that?) was offering a prize of – I think – several thousand pounds to any forward who could break that record.

Kane becomes the modern day Gerrard. Well apart from the fluky CL victory.

Banter about Gerrard aside, Kane would fucking kill for a league cup medal let alone two FA cup medals and three league cup medals. If he stays at Spurs and doesn't win anything, which now looks likely, I can't think of a single player of his standard without a medal to show for it.

Welcome to the end of your career.
Good luck in the conference league.

Thank god this has ended.

Next.

Bet Kane is gutted but guess signing a 6 year deal with no release clause shows at the time he thought about the coin and not his future.

 

[jrb]

At least Shearer won 1 PL title.

 

[alera]

Called it. Obvious this was going to happen. What a waste of time.

It's the right move for City Imo. . £160 million for a 28 year old player with no resale. No thanks.

 

[DontLookBackInAnger]

Same. Yes we need a striker but not at any price. I'd rather go with what we have got and see where we are in January and next summer. We won the league mostly without Aguero last year.

Good luck finding a striker "at not any price" in January. For what its worth I wasn't crazy about the deal, but going into a season weaker in the forward line than last year and it was uncomfortably weak last year is a really poor bit of long term planning. My hope with Aguero, is it really shouldn't shock anyone that we would need to replace him this summer and the plan seems to lacking.

This news is a positive no other club will pay levys ransom or have to deal with an incompetent agent putting us/ Kane on the backfoot from day one. Marketing wise hes not as exciting as love island Grealish and i think he will stay at Spurs long term as frankly at 28/9 hes close to his sell by date already.

 

[Bluesince1979]

Shit his knickers. Wont be the last either.
Oh well harry hotspur, hope you dont look back with regret

 

[Father Paul]

Gutted we couldn’t get him. Genuine worldy I do however feel he’s missed out more with not moving than we have. Is the Ronaldo link actually anything and could this potentially happen?

It appears he is on offer. Expensive but affordable. The smart money seems to suggest Pep is not that keen on him so it is unlikely to happen.

 

[come-on-barney]

Pep will be absolutely fuming about this.

He wanted a top striker and we couldn’t deliver.

Or the board are looking longer term and the money required was way too much.

 

[bluemonkey71]

I voted No as I wanted Haaland. The fees for Haaland are just stupid so that ship has sailed aswell. Instead of splashing stupid money on a one season wonder from Fiorentina we should be scouting young talent for proper amounts not 80 mill upwards.

 

[Chi-town blues]

Levy will never get to smell what 120 m smells like in this market .

 

[Damanino]

I hope spurs really does not get their hands even on a Carabao trophy next 10 years. if we can stop it directly even better.

Kane made his bed with that long term contract and relying on he said, she said type of gentleman agreements...

Or trusting levy 1%

 

[Father Paul]

820k a week for Haaland reported..34 million for his agent reported..if true, this is totally obscene..wait until Covid Epsilon strikes. Footy will not sustain this much longer, like everything in life there are cycles, and I await parasites like Raiola, Levy getting screwed.
As for Harry. If he does not join we will never know why. Maybe Levy wanted more money, maybe Harry had a medical and his ankles had osteoarthritis.
We are City,be proud,had enough trophies for my lifetime, but will support the Blues whoever is CF, whoever is the manager and even Mendy at LB.

I was with you 100% right upuntil the very end of that post.

I read about in a book I had as a kid. 100 greatest sportsmen or some such. "Give it to Dixie!"

I have not heard of Charlie Buchan nor the prize. Cheers for the info.

 

[Goater10]

Wtf. Had a morning of bloody zoom meetings and now this news. I suspected this would happen and tbh I’m a little worried. What I do know is we have the best manager in the world and I back us to beat anyone on our day.

I trust there’s a plan B, it’s going to bean interesting few days.

Our plan B is backing what we've already got!!

The last England Captain to win nothing at all in their career was Gerry Francis by my reckoning, back in the seventies.

Just wait until the rumours of Leo being unsettled at PSG start to emerge.
