    Exodus Watch?
    Eric Dier has unfollowed Spurs on Instagram, and removed all reference to Spurs from his various social media bios

    Would be nice if reddit let people copy images to illustrate this fact...

    High transfer fee obtained.
    Not sold to a PL rival (year 15 and counting - Levy <applause> ) .
    Amicable departure.

    Cannot ask for more than that.

    You have to feel sorry for Kane in a way, he's 30 he's barely mastered English and now he's got to learn German.

    Hopefully the latest user name/pic will finally stop you doing those stupid wagers.

    Bitter? Nope.

    Might smell like it to you, but I'm not bitter, I'm happy for Kane, he wanted a changed. I'm sure he'll do well.

    I even, unlike some, fully understand why Levy would sell now. It's a little like Doctor Strange in Endgame.

    This might be the only way that we may have a slim chance of
    1. Harry breaking the PL record with us and not a rival PL team.
    2. Have a happy player who gets to scratch his itch of playing elsewhere whilst remaining on good terms with the club.
    3. Keep Kane on good terms with the fans.
    The deal is 4 years and I believe there is a buyback clause. So no heading to Chelsea or United to break the record with them.

    Ange has one or two seasons to get Spurs to the CL, with slightly less pressure. Hopefully, he'll be looking forward to people writing him off and proving the doubters wrong.

    I'd love for us to win a cup, and /or challenge without Kane. I don't think Ange having a slate clean of Kane is the worst thing.

    This Gift Orban guy needs to be signed ASAP, simply because he's looking like an Ange target. Eze? Lavia? Johnson? Tapsoba? Let's go!!!

    I also want to see Scarlett have a standout season, at least in a cup run.

    Son is more than capable to start as a striker with Solomon on the wing.

    Who knows, maybe Kane returns after his fling in Germany, to put the icing on his cake.

    Only thing i would say is if this was always on the cards its pretty bad preparation to leave it literally the day before your season opener with your ex club captain getting huge amounts of game time in your pre season for the sake of a few million quid.

    If it was to allow us time to sort out a few more incomings then it makes sense...if no one else is signed all hell will break loose imho

    I think that Richarlison's his immediate replacement though and he was injured.
    The other alternative is Son and he played anyway, albeit not through the middle.

    Sure. I think Kane was actually torn though.
    Plus, it’s a ‘damned if I do...’ situation.

    • Sell Kane cheap. “He should have got more money. Anything for a little money. He let Bayern take the piss. Levy out!”
    • Sell Kane for top dollar. “He only cares about money. Should have sold earlier for less. Levy out!”
    • Keep him against his will without securing a contract. “He’s keeping Kane prisoner after all he’s done for the club. Levy out!”
    • Let him go on a free to PL rival. “How did He allow this to happen. The team and the board failed Kane. Levy out!”

    pretty true, should have just set a hard deadline and gone with it. Everything was pretty much sorted in a day or two once the offer was accepted.

    Not ideal preparation, i haven't watched your pre season games but did anyone else get a go up top apart from kane?

    I was wondering what happened here. Tell me this wasn’t a ‘Kane staying’ related wager?

    there were rumours of us being prepared to rip contracts up, which we’re yet to see.
    There’s so many players to move on, and history would tell us that we won’t spend until we’ve sold. can you honestly see us sorting a clear out in order to bring in the likes of Tapsoba, Orban & Co?
    I just can’t see it mate.
    What I feel is more likely, is a disappointing end to the window in terms of incomings, followed by more tension between the fans and the board.

    Very odd. Makes you wonder if the Kane transfer has ruffled a few feathers behind the scenes, perhaps?
    Or maybe Dier’s been given some news that he’s not happy about. Not been chosen to be captain? Contract been cancelled?

    Yep. Richarlison, who is now injured apparently. <doh>

    Plus, one match was cancelled due to rain.

    Just our luck. (Or it’s somehow all Levy’s fault. Levy out! <laugh>)

    Scarlett also scored a great goal as a sub.

    I think they were trying to gently influence Kane to stay, hence playing him.
