He needs to force the move.. or forever be known as someone who didn't do the best for himself. He deserves a move to a big club.
Don't think he has the guts,so go on Harry prove me wrong and make me eat these wordsHe needs to force the move.. or forever be known as someone who didn't do the best for himself. He deserves a move to a big club.
Most players are lauded for being one club men but not Kane - oh no he is a loser for staying.He needs to force the move.. or forever be known as someone who didn't do the best for himself. He deserves a move to a big club.
He’s a loser for not showing any ambition. The guys nearly 30. He ain’t getting any younger and he’s got nothing to show for his career.Most players are lauded for being one club men but not Kane - oh no he is a loser for staying.
Yeah because he shouldn't end his career without having won any major honours. Good luck in getting many people on your side with this oneMost players are lauded for being one club men but not Kane - oh no he is a loser for staying.

Not on this forum no. Everybody has been actively trying to sell him from Spurs for about 8 years and it is very very boring being on the other side of it.Yeah because he shouldn't end his career without having won any major honours. Good luck in getting many people on your side with this one
What’s boring is being shit and not winning anything.Not on this forum no. Everybody has been actively trying to sell him from Spurs for about 8 years and it is very very boring being on the other side of it.
Most at least have something to their name, both Shearer and Totti won a league title. Le Tissier is constantly marked as unambitious and too comfortable at Soton.Most players are lauded for being one club men but not Kane - oh no he is a loser for staying.
Quite the opposite to be honest, as a fan anyway. It's the journey isn't it. Only a few select clubs can win anything every season - if players and fans honestly thought like you do then nobody would bother turning up.What’s boring is being shit and not winning anything.
This is a team game though isn't it. He can't win a league on his own. Also this league is probably the hardest to win in the history of the game now we have City in full flight. Nobody can touch them in any competition really.Most at least have something to their name, both Shearer and Totti won a league title.

It's not some grand conspiracy or double standard at play here, had Kane got over the line with Spurs for a league title or the CL under Poch then people would be much more sympathetic. Vardy for instance didnt get griefs for staying at Leicester instead of moving to Arsenal.
The notion of a certain figure is a bit vague in any case. It could be more than £50m but you have to remember that if Levy turns down £50m after Kane has confirmed he won’t sign a new contract, then Levy is basically paying £50m plus Kane’s wages to have one more year of his services, during which time he could easily be injured. A business man doesn’t usually make decisions like that.I don't think the reasoning that he's a businessman as stated in that post means it follows that he'll sell at anything over 50 million.
That sounds too indeterminate for me. I don't think Levy is going to be that passive that it's £50 million and then reliant on a bidding war to achieve more. Generally he has operated with a notion of a certain figure he wants to get for players, as seen when he negotiated Kane's potential departure to City. That's probably not going to start at 50. A little too optimistic.
You would say that as a Spurs fanQuite the opposite to be honest, as a fan anyway. It's the journey isn't it. Only a few select clubs can win anything every season - if players and fans honestly thought like you do then nobody would bother turning up.
Simmer, they're new.Then you pm a mod asking about it, best thing to do, not posting a completely irrelevant post and tweet about it in here.
I say this as a football fan. If you honestly believe that the game is just boring unless you win stuff then unfortunately for 99% of us fans the game is done since City are going to continue winning almost everything for the next 3-4 yearsYou would say that as a Spurs fan
Agree.Most players are lauded for being one club men but not Kane - oh no he is a loser for staying.
Well yeah he is a loser. He’s literally never won anything. Most other “one club players” of that caliber haveMost players are lauded for being one club men but not Kane - oh no he is a loser for staying.
Gerrard won the fecking UCL and competed for titles! That’s a terrible comparison. And even then yes he gets laughed at daily for slipping and never winning the PremAgree.
Let the man live his Tottenham dream.
Loves playing for them, tries as hard as he can, gotta feel the pain when they were really close to both the PL and the CL....
Also really close with England. Closer then a lot of others came.
Does Stevie G has a prem title? No.
Did he get as much stick as Harry gets? No.
Besides, we need a legend of our own.

You were competing with Leicester and Conte's Chelsea, and lost the UCL final to Liverpool, with a whimper.This is a team game though isn't it. He can't win a league on his own.

The ultimate goal is winning. Something you obviously have no idea about.I say this as a football fan.

Yeah he definitely hasn't got it in him to do no 2 much as I would love to see it happenVery simple decision for Kane. Not easy, but simple.
1. Stay at Tottenham. Sign a new deal and say publicly that you want to retire as the club and prem's all-time scorer. Never win a trophy but retire and get your statue outside the stadium.
2. Force the move. Do a Ronaldo-esque scorched earth interview and single out Levy for lack of ambition. Move to United and win trophies; possibly go down as a club icon who brought back the first title post-SAF.
Without #2, no chance he moves to United.
You might as well tell that to every single football fan outside of about 2 or 3 teams who can win things with any regularity.The ultimate goal is winning. Something you obviously have no idea about.
That's harsh, Kane was 87 minutes and 2 goals away from the CL tooGerrard won the fecking UCL and competed for titles! That’s a terrible comparison. And even then yes he gets laughed at daily for slipping and never winning the Prem
Do they not want to win?You might as well tell that to every single football fan outside of about 2 or 3 teams who can win things with any regularity.
Competed the same way Kane does.Gerrard won the fecking UCL and competed for titles! That’s a terrible comparison. And even then yes he gets laughed at daily for slipping and never winning the Prem
Yes of course, we all do. Not winning though is not boring and not worthwhile. You can enjoy the game, support your team, hope to win things but still not be bored if you don't win. You think I don't want Spurs to win something? You couldn't be more wrong.Do they not want to win?
Yeah which he won't by the looks of itCompeted the same way Kane does.
Kane played in the CL final and had the same chance of winning the PL as Stevie G did.
Yes, he's a meme for slipping but he still didn't get the same shit transfer saga Kane faces every year.
Leave the man be.
If he wants to leave all he has to do is say.
No I’m saying you’re resigned to the fact that you won’t which is boring.Yes of course, we all do. Not winning though is not boring and not worthwhile.

Which is fine.Yeah which he won't by the looks of it
Can't deny it's a serious lack of ambition thoughWhich is fine.
Wants to win something with Spurs.
Fair play.
A club that gave him everything.
I applaud him for that.
Where did I say that? We are miles off it at the moment that is true but if we get the right manager we have some very good players in the squad we just need successful investment in key areas. I still have hope we can win things - why else would you be a fan if you just gave up?No I’m saying you’re resigned to the fact that you won’t which is boring.
Why is that?Can't deny it's a serious lack of ambition though
Yeah all bets are off if Kane leaves the door open to signing a new contract.But you also have to figure:
a) Levy probably doesn't believe the chance of Kane eventually signing a new contract and staying is 0. He may be realistic enough to understand its highly unlikely, but he probably sees some chance.
b) Kane staying increases the perceived chance of getting back into Europe next year, maybe even CL (unlikely but Levy may not see it that way).
c) Spurs are negotiating some big commercial deals right now, including stadium naming rights, and Kane at the club is a massive part of its commercial appeal to sponsors.
d) Kane is likely a huge driver of other commercial revenues like shirt sales. How many 11-year-olds in the US or China want to buy a Kulusevski or Hojberg shirt?
I think its a very unusual situation in terms of the player's importance to the business of the club. You can't just look at the fee and wage costs.
He is a Spurs fan though - nothing would mean more to him than winning a trophy with Spurs. He could leave and win trophies somewhere else in a City or a PSG or a Madrid but what would that actually prove? They always win things every year with or without Kane in the side.Can't deny it's a serious lack of ambition though
Because they haven't given him enough since he broke through nearly 10 years agoWhy is that?
Why isn't his quest for success with Spurs described as ambition?
Certainly one way of looking at it.
Most players are lauded for being one club men because there is usually SOMETHING to show for it. For Kane it's seen as wrong because there is nothing to show for it. Save for some golden boots, if he career were to end today, he would not have a single medal. Surely you can see how big of a waste that is for someone of his talent.Most players are lauded for being one club men but not Kane - oh no he is a loser for staying.
So are we talking about Spurs ambition or Kane's ambition?Because they haven't given him enough since he broke through nearly 10 years ago
