Wonder if this means City try again next summer or go for Haaland.
Harry Kane | "I will be staying at Tottenham this summer and will be 100% focused on helping the team achieve success."
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
This was unfortunate
And get tons of abuse for it!
Thanks for proving my point
EDIT wait who are you even on about?
Who is that?
The guy we signed for 35m pounds or 40m euros, who became a 40m player to beat Ole with and has now become a 45m player
What about Chelsea reinvesting the Hazard money with young exciting players like Kai? Just seems like a really bad idea hanging on to an unhappy, aging player while his value plummets.
Haaland is not moving this late in the window.
His transfer won’t be straightforward at all.
Which would be a massive let-down, tbh.
I was hoping that City's insistence on being a clear step or two above the 2nd best team in the league would lead them to overpay for Kane.
Do the club deserve credit for realising early that despite the Haaland and Kane fuss no top striker would actually move this summer and prioritising elsewhere?
oof.
Anytime
I thought it was obvious for 2-3 weeks now that Kane to City is dead. Maybe even more. Probably one of the reasons why City paid Grealish's buy-out clause after offers like £80m+Rogers didn't work.
I meant go for Haaland next summer.
If they could have gotten Halaand they would have been in for him this summer imo
You may be right but even with all those goals from Kane, where are Spurs last few years? They finished 6th in 2019/20, and then 7th last season, with 0 trophies won, so having Kane didn't change much in that regard. Of course, there is possibility they'd be even lower in table without him but anyways, there's been no success since 2019 UCL final. With right signings (and they have Paratici now), they would've spent that Kane money very well I believe.
If the player is going to undermine the club then yes. No player is bigger than the club, he's made it publicly known he wants to leave, I would've sold him as soon as City offered the €150m, which is a brilliant fee for Spurs imo.
feck me Kane over haaalad is not a massive let down. You can keep your opinion but it's just bizarre to me. Kanes output is ridiculous, he's a better player overall. Haaland just has the advantage of age. You could argue Kane is the perfect in between for Greenwood in the long term, without the drama and circus of a dirt bag agent.
It's not a brilliant fee at all considering Grealish was signed for £100 million (only around £28 million less than the 150million euros they supposedly bid) - Kane is one of the top 3 strikers in world football. Levy wasn't even going to pick up the phone for an offer less than £150 million and he was completely right.
What a shit show. Wonder if spurs fans are thick enough to forgive when he gets a goal
£100m for a 29 year old Harry Kane with a history of ankle issues will be a lot less appealing, that for sure. Missing out on this window narrows the market massively. But someone will pay it, probably. There aren’t enough top strikers to go around.
There it is. A career wasted and Levy missing the chance to recoup massive funds to help them rebuild. The worst, hands down, the worst chairman in the PL.
Bottled it.
Don't forget: you're here forever

I agree to be honest. If Lukaku is worth £100 million then Kane is easily worth an addition £50 million if not double!
There goes the career. Although it's great he isn't going to City of course.
Bottled it.
Knew someone would bring Pogba into it.
Age is pretty important, though. Haaland is 7 years younger than Kane and is already world class. I reckon him and Mbappe are the new superstars for the next 10 years.
Kane will be 29 years old next year and he'll still probably cost more than 100 million. I wouldn't be opposed to the transfer as he could be another RVP(albeit way more expensive). But I would definitely prefer Haaland, even if he costs more.
All came down to there being no way of Spurs replacing Kane imo. Even with £150m or more.
Remains to be seen if being forced to stay effects his game and what happens in next few years regarding a move.

He is a hero after all!
They cant replace, but they could rebuild. Get 3 or 4 players in and start again, they are unlikely to get top 4 with Kane imho, so a good time to do it. Of course having €150M in the bank would inflate prices... oh well... Harry can just go for individual awards now.
Was white text really necessary?
I probably don't read the United forum section enough if a post like that is written with a straight face.:Nelson from the Simpsons "ha ha" gif:
A proper lose-lose situation for both City and Kane. City need a striker, Kane wants/needs trophies, and clearly wants the move. I don't have a huge insight into what Spurs have done in this transfer window, but have they really done enough to make a serious challenge for the title after finishing as low as they did last year? I'm going to guess no. So, the most that they can hope for is a cup, e.g. a great FA Cup run or getting the League Cup. Not sure Kane is going to be satisfied with that.
He's missed the boat on this one. Delighted that City miss out on him though as that is a great thing for us.

Age means less if the player is likely keen on moving to a new challenge after 3-4 years anyway. You would still have the issue of Greenwood to contend with, because Im sure he sees himself as the 9 after 3-4 years.
I'm quite gutted Kane hasn't moved to City.
Watching him for England makes me feel like he can really slow a team down unnecessarily.

Never heard so much guff in all my days.
Irreplaceable. They're nowhere in the league and will be nowhere in the league without him.
Kane and his brother were naive in the extreme relying on a “gentlemen’s agreement” with a guy like Levy. Needed to be an express release clause.
City will go all out for Haaland now I reckon
In other words, no one wants me so I’ll just pour out some bull that I’m committed to the club.
Well Levy had you by the nuts when you signed the extension
