Transfer Rumours transfer thread fact and fiction

Sounds like an insult PS perhaps an emoji might help.

 

I think most will when Kane leaves...

 

No insult intended...I've added an emoji though not sure it's the right one

 

Thanks PS

 

I've had worse responses, lol.

 

No doubt but I was just being careful. I was confident PS did not intend it as an insult but best to be clear for other users.
I deleted the comment before PS revised it. I was too quick on the trigger.

 

It was a strange response if truth be told but I found it pretty funny.

As that's probably the phrase I'll be using towards Spurs if/ when we do sell Kane!

 

I am inclined to think that the sooner we plan for a Kaneless team the better.

 

Apologies to you PS for deleting it too quickly.

 

It's not something I want to imagine to be honest but it feels slightly inevitable we'll have to be doing so soon.

 

It's a huge distraction for the manager and the rest of the team and together with the uncertainty around CB's is a very poor way to enter the new season.

 

I said this a while back.

The boat has more than sailed on the prospects of winning major trophies with Kane and Son as the core of our team.

Wouldn't have been the case had we not pissed the last four years up a very tiresome wall, but that's the reality.

Even if Ange is a combination of Jol, Harry and Poch rolled into one, the nature of our situation and that of the sides we'd now need to overtake means that even a wildly optimistic prediction is 6-7 years to do so. Kane and Son will be in their late 30's by then.

A future without them is now inevitable.

 

The manager would've known what he was coming into when he accepted the job to be fair.

As for lack of CBs, only one person to blame over that. And if that person thinks it'll be easier to sign any CBs with Kane funds, I feel he'll have a rude awakening.

 

I want him gone

We will have this all season otherwise

nothing personal but no way is the Kane show good for the rest.

He signs or he goes…can’t understand this logic of wanting him for another year…his goals might get us CL?

then what? We will be wondering whose goals will keep us in it?

get him gone and out of the PL and get some spending money this way since the Levynomics don’t look like they will suffice for our needs otherwise

 

It all reflects how the UK operates. The costs are the first consideration and the functionality is hardly considered. Hence the failure of our major institutions and infrastructure. A small business would soon go bust using these methods. Levy uses these methods and when it comes to the business end of the season both league and transfers the whole thing starts to creak. The trouble is in financial terms Levy has improved Spurs greatly and even in football terms but as Hudd has argued his methods require an update. Having got Spurs up among the big players you have to realise that this is a football team not an insurance co. and the higher you go the bigger the risks you have to take with playing staff.

 

Spurs need bolder actions on the playing front. Standing on the precipice waiting for a bridge is not going to work, we have to jump.

 

I said to Hudd yesterday that his sentence of "The issue is that Levy doesn’t know what he’s doing in this era of the PL." is the single most accurate description of Levy nowadays.

Levy's astute business knowledge worked blinders when we could go to smaller clubs and sign players like Malbranque, Chimbonda, Lennon, Huddlestone and co for absolute peanuts which coined the phrase "Levy'd" but the market's different now and I don't think he knows how to operate in it. When on the few occasions though that he does take the risk and acts accordingly, he gets it horribly wrong which further strengthens many people's views in that he's almost clueless on the footballing side of things, if borderline a genius on business aspects.

For the last 5 or so years now, he is the largest reason for holding the club back. We likely wouldn't be facing the situation with Kane if Levy hadn't done so badly, because over the years Kane has repeatedly said he was happy to stay so long as he felt the ambition was there and the club was moving in the right direction, so if Kane is open to a move elsewhere (which he's been for a year or two after the 2021 summer flirtation with City), that probably tells you he doesn't think there's enough ambition, doesn't think the club is going anywhere or a mix of both - and I think that's how a lot of fans feel about the club at the moment too.

 

Agreed which is why I shudder to think that the club sees Richarlison as Kane's replacement in waiting.

That to me is such a limp, defeatist attitude that wasn't even cheap to do either!

I'd love to see us walk up to Napoli, slap £90m on the table and see what they say. They might say no, Osimhen might say no, but at least we'd have bloody tried.

To Dare is to Do, but we don't dare enough and therefore we don't do enough.

 

I agree with the sentiment but they'll definitely say no to that.

Al Hilal have already offered €140m for him which so far hasn’t been accepted or rejected.

 

I thought you were overdoing the sarcasm....
