Kane is too nice, he won’t put in a transfer request to his beloved Spurs. It will be his undoing.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
That's a pretty fair deal for them. Unless they got some other foward in mind already.£75 million plus Martial
Perfect all round. I couldn’t think of a more spursy striker than Anthony Martial.£75 million plus Martial
30 league goals in this Spurs side is outrageous. What a talent.
Reading through a Spurs forum and this seems to be in line with general opinion.
There seems to be a surprising willingness to risk him leaving for free next summer. Which I guess is partly in the hope that he will ultimately be persuaded to stay and partly due a lack of faith in the club's ability to replace him this summer with no manager or DOF currently in place and a whole host of other deadwood to clear.
Do you not remember that interview he did with Neville, essentially demanding a transfer. He’ll know what he has to do.
"try to convince Kane that the club is going in the right direction"
'try' being the important word!"try to convince Kane that the club is going in the right direction"
This is because all of us as Spurs fans realise that if we sell Kane we are in real danger of relegation without him. I'm quite serious when I say this.
Harry will probably think they can only go up after finishing 8th, and then sign a 5 year deal on ludicrous wages.
Has another season or 2 strong, then their fans will start turning on him.
It's football as it is, was and ever more shalt be.

Yes, everyone assumes that Kane will never sign a new contract there, has anyone ever heard him indicate that - nope
Levy isn't interested in a players career, his interest is in Spurs and himself
One way to deal with this is an aggressive approach none of this " we see once i have had my holidays" crap. If Kane is going to hang around to see what nonsense come through the door at Spurs well more fool him. If thats the case bin the idea and move on.
he badly needs to listen to his inner child 
30 goals for that Spurs team is utter madness. Would love him at OT.

Agree
The stories coming out seem to suggest United will make the approach but will walk away early if they play games
Another way of looking at it, he needs Kane at the club to attract the players they need to bring in
"try to convince Kane that the club is going in the right direction"
Poor Kane. They have had him imprisoned for so long, that now they think they can brainwash him with any nonsense.
I cannot believe we only had 15 less shots than Man City on target this season but scored 36 less goals. Can you imagine if we had our own world class striker.
Kane would make a such huge difference. Add a top class CM to play alongside Casemiro we could actually challenge next season.

On what basis does Kane remain at Spurs? the club is perennial in underachieving, time and time again, he has given Spurs the best part of his career, for the sake of his own legacy he really needs to move to a club, that is genuinely challenging for trophies.
I really hope we move on quickly from this one. We shouldn’t be spending what would ultimately be such a large part of out budget on such a player, despite what he could offer. We need to think longer term with smarter investments in players with their best years ahead.
I believe that's what would end up happening eventually if Kane isn't able to get his move this summer .
Remember when city wanted him but they got haaland instead due to levy not wanting to sell him.
Yet, it still may work.

I don't think you're in massive danger of that!
As long as you appoint a decent manager and reinvest the funds received from any Kane deal on top of the transfer budget for this year, you should be set. I'm not quite sure what you'll be set for, but not relegation IMO.
It's only if you make a real mess of the transfers and manager things could get really dicey. But no real reason to think you'll be anywhere near the three worst teams in the league.
We are in real danger of that believe me. We have conceeded 63 goals this year - thats worse than Everton who almost got relegated. Without Kane there to score regularly we are no better than Everton to be honest. We have such a shortage of quality in defence and midfield it is frightening especially with Bentancur injured until at least the end of the year with no guarantee he will recover well. We scored 70 goals this season - if you take away Kane's 30 that would give us 40 goals - thats less than Wolves.
If we can get Kane for a reasonable sum I think we'd be crazy not to. He'd score 75 goals in the league for us over the next 3-4 seasons.
I'd offer Spurs 80 million plus Martial.
Then I'd be on the phone with Marcus Thuram's people. Signing him on a free would be a great move.
Stockholm Syndrome 100% Levy on the balcony with the AK47 wearing a Cockerel emblazoned T-shirt.
Poor Kane. They have had him imprisoned for so long, that now they think they can brainwash him with any nonsense.
Hell score more goals than 75 over 4 seasons I’d say.
Kane would actually be a pretty smart investment. We shouldn’t wait 3-4 seasons to start winning major trophies again.
But you'll have a presumably sizeable budget if you sell Kane. He'd be a huge loss, no doubt about it - but the reason you're struggling is you have too many weaknesses. That's why you're a one man team. Address them and you won't be a crap team and it will mitigate losing Kane. Particularly the lack of creative power in midfield and the CBs. The forwards will naturally be revamped if Kane is lost.
It just looks horrific right now because you're removing the only shining light and after a crap season the outlook is depressing, but Kane scored a zillion goals and you're poor which tells me there are a lot of areas that can be brought up to scratch for a better collective. Then it won't just be about one world class player, you might keep a clean sheet, not have to play terrible formations with no control etc.
Easily
Very well could, that prediction was me being conservative, as I do expect that once he's 32-33 his production might begin to fall off a bit. Although I don't think age will hinder him as much as it does typical strikers who rely on speed. He'll certainly have Shearer's record in his sights, that's safe to say.
At any rate, the way I look at it, if Kane is going to stick around in the EPL and score all those goals he might as well be scoring them in a United shirt, where he'll actually have a shot at winning things.
Do you think Son is in terminal decline now or was it just a bad season (by his standards). He still hit double figures but so many games he really struggled to make an impact on and I think he's lost a yard of acceleration somewhere.
In previous seasons Kane would pick up an injury and all you'd do is move Son to CF and results would largely stay the same so that's another big problem for Spurs. Richarlison with barely any goals and he's much better in position Son plays than CF aswell.
I get that stance but to me it feels a bit like kicking the can down the road.
In last four seasons Spurs have finished 6th, 7th, 4th and 8th so not like keeping Kane is some guarantee of making CL (and he's been posting ridiculous stats in pretty much all those four seasons).
So you keep him now and then basically have to rebuild forward line in summer 2024 as Son will be 32 by then so probably in the needs replacing category now so potentially 2024-25 becomes a stuck in transition season aswell as next one regardles of who the new manager is.
We sold Grealish in summer 2021 just when we were on the verge of overtaking you and then made an horrific managerial appointment getting Gerrard in but thankfully all that happened was we wasted six months and now we're in europe with a proven trophy winning manager and a very strong spine back to front so sometimes you have to take a step back for six months to really kick on.
You're basically in same place now as a decade ago which was the summer Bale moved on so that period shows two years later you can produce another top quality team but it did take Poch a good year to sort out the squad as to his specification.
this is true. I saw a stat earlier that we created practically as many chances as city this season yet scored so many less. Imagine what a world class striker who is PL proven can bring to this team. Upgrade the midfield, more time with ETH and there’s no reason we cant be a very very good side. The chemistry is also bubbling with this squad. Something is brewing but we got to get the summer right, we got to invest. Kane is the best money can buy right now so we got to try everything.
You reckon? I think Richarlison does alright as a central forward for Brazil. As a wide forward I don't see much dynamic play or great dribbling. In the centre he's a nuisance with his channel runs, pressing, he can head it, he's shown he can score from that position. Not anywhere near Kane's rate but he can score.
I think that's part of his problem at Spurs. Wide he is kind of pointless and he's never going to outcompete Harry Kane. He was a strange signing at the time.
That’s not exactly why we’re signing him - we need goals and lots of them.
That has a lot to with us shooting from silly angels most of the season with close to zero chances of scoring. It has been a bit better of late, or our attempts at shooting has been pretty erratic.
No it isnt however thats not my concern really - its what happens if we lose Kane. Ive said it earlier but I would honestly not be surprised if we ended up close to the bottom of the table without him.
We'd have to pay more than some others, but he's absolutely worth the money. Let's go after him big time
