Harry Kane MBE

Good luck Harry hope Bayern gives you what you want.
When Hoddle the greatest player I've ever seen in a spurs shirt & one of our own left I was certain he couldn't be replaced. I won't name all the players since him but we've had some truly great players & some world class & we will again. We are Tottenham Hotspur not Kane fc onwards & upwards bring on Brentford

We will be scrambling around on Deadline Day trying to desperately buy players on the cheap

He will splash the cash buying cheap. All in the hope of gaining from player value.

Yeah, I know 'still here' is the sum total of what a lot of folks want for us mate. That's fine - if you're happy with us merely existing, you're entitled to that opinion, and good luck to you.

To me, on days like today, it reminds me that this is all that we will ever do under this ownership model. The best player in our history leaves us to go win things, and is sold to a club that actually wins things - an indictment of the fact we can't do either.

Kane would still be here if we had an owner willing to make us win things - that "regardless of which owner owned us" bit you're hawking is utter tripe. You think if we had City's owners and were winning things, Kane would want to leave? If we had Stan Kroenke who's put 600m of his own money into his club? If we had FSG who put in some 400M of their own money and won the lot?

The day we lose a club legend because we simply cannot compete with those around us, and the biggest priority of some is rounding on 'negativity', as if happy clapping is what everyone should be doing about having an owner that has caused this. This is ENIC's fault, no others.

Kane would have stayed if we'd won things. Feel pretty confident in saying he would have retired here had we won things. Instead, it's come to this.

Same with Bale and the next big thing.

Optimal profit with champions league participation.

Diminishing returns from more investments to win something and Enic cant stomach the risk.

That last sentence is so so key
We have to evolve or we go backwards
We lose a truly exceptional player
I believe we can create an exceptional side now that doesn’t rely on one brilliant player

Guardiola's dig wasn't it: the Harry Kane club.

We need to be more than that to acheive what we all want. We need a team of strong players, and having Kane there made it too easy. Of course, he was immense and a joy to watch. The way he arrived and fed off the limelight was one of the most brilliant moments supporting Spurs - when the penny dropped and fans and player had a revelation that he is world class.

I'm not, mate. Honestly - I didn't assign any opinion to you whatsoever beyond asking why you disliked the others given they might have been better people than Joe Lewis, specifically. I.e, not done for insider trading, or accused of tax evasion and forcibly displacing natives in Argentina, or responsible for the misery of thousands of ordinary folk in the UK. That's all.

And believe me, from what I know of you, it would be a cold day in hell before I suggested you disliked someone purely because of their nationality or background. That just isn't you - I know that.

Another way to look at it would be to finally get the 'football house' in order and stop people from investing ridiculous sums of money just because they can. Everybody's guilty here (except, it has to be said, France who, until recently, kept their clubs on a very tight leash financially): the Spanish crown 'erased' Real Madrid's debt, England's policy seems to be 'live and let live', Germany's been a one-club nation for the past 50 years and Italy were happy to let their clubs overspend until they stopped dominating European football.

At this point, everybody knows it's a house of cards. If players weren't considered 'assets', most clubs would be in bankruptcy by now. Football's economic model is completely absurd: clubs spend money they don't have to make players richer than they are and then their survival depend on astronomic TV deals. One day, it will stop. And it's not impossible: they did it in France for 40 years. You get your accounts checked at the end of the season and if you can't give assurances that any deficit will be purged next season, down you go. It's harsh and it's not ideal when you want to compete with clubs/countries who don't apply the same rules but it makes the competition so much more interesting (as long as club owners don't bribe the referees, that is).

Who needs players to be billionaires? Harry Kane is a superb player but does his talent need to be rewarded a hundred times more than Hoddle's, for instance?

This just about broke me. So lucky to have seen him at Spurs.

Tear in the eye. I hope the club do something similar and he gets a decent send off from them.
Agree that we were so lucky to have him. Don't think he ever gets the recognition he deserves even among a large section of our fans.
 
They had better do more than fudging this !!

Edit :

The Club can confirm the permanent transfer of Harry Kane to Bayern Munich.

Harry, 30, graduated through our Academy system to become the Club's all-time record goalscorer, overtaking Jimmy Greaves' 266 goals during last season. He leaves us with 280 goals in 435 appearances in all competitions.

Chairman, Daniel Levy, said: “We sought over a long period of time to engage Harry and his representatives in several forms of contract extension, both short and long term. Harry was clear, however, that he wanted a fresh challenge and would not be signing a new contract this summer. We have reluctantly, therefore, agreed to his transfer.

“We have seen a product of our Academy system become one of the best players to ever pull on a Spurs shirt and become one of world football’s elite strikers. It has been a truly remarkable journey.

“Harry’s achievements and records say everything about the player, and throughout his 19 years at the Club, Harry has been a model professional, on and off the pitch and an inspiration for young players who dream of following in his footsteps.

"I should like to thank Harry for everything he's done for us, all the memories, all the records - we wish him and his family all the best for the future. It goes without saying, he's always welcome back. He’s a much loved and valued member of the Spurs family, forever in our history.”
 
The whole football world will be glad the saga has ended as it has been tedious AF.

Great deal, would have perhaps been better a couple of weeks ago but if Ange knew it was a given then that's the main thing. If fans talking about a positive fresh start are rocked by this and see it as a setback, boo fudging hoo, the club and fans have to move on and whining won't help.

All superlatives have already been used to describe Kane so no point going in to it but gotta thank the guy for his dedication to improving himself and doing his best for the club.

He has suffered enough and deserves to go win some stuff and we will be better in the long run for ripping the plaster off to actually herald a new dawn.

Can't wait for tomorrow game but also to see Kane hit new heights through the season assuming he settles in, he'll always be one of our own!
