Can you stop the silly chairman talk? He quite rightfully wanted mad money to compensate for losing a player that all but extinguished any hope of CL football. When the whistle blows this evening its highly likely Spurs will have CL football (and money) and still own Kane. I think he's been a disaster of a chairman but on this deal he done the right thing.

It's a strange one but if he'd stayed fit we'd likely be in the CL final and chilling today waiting for the trophy lift after a different style of play all season.
Of course footballs a funny old game, it'd have cost us £150m, no Haaland and no resale value on him added to not wanting him here.
Would have been a great short-term gain but we always quite rightly look at the longer game.

Possibly, we do love a release clause. To have both in the starting line up, you'd basically have to sacrifice one of Kev, Bernie or a wide player to do it I think.
But I don't think many teams could handle Kane coming short whilst Haaland looks for the through ball. Especially if we still kept some width.
But in reality we'd probably have gotten the glass ankles Kane version, so kept the one striker and then have friction on who misses out when fit.

"How much compensation will the bus owner's agent get due to Haaland damaging the bus ?"Spoilsport...
You shouldn't let facts get in the way of a good old 'what if' thread on Bluemoon
:-)
(Coming soon... 'what if Haaland gets run over by a bus on Ashton New Road on the way to his first day of training'...)

Really sorry mate. I can only apologise for my moment of madness calling levy silly. I hope this hasn't soured relations between us, and I'd like to offer you the chance to come round and have a go on the wife while I make you a brew and apologise in person for what I said about levy.Can you stop the silly chairman talk?

Congratulations to Son for his golden boot. Spurs are lucky to have such a great goal scorer.
