Former Tottenham midfielder Jamie O’Hara was not at all happy watching his old club as they capitulated at home to Chelsea this afternoon.
Spurs had a decent enough first half and went in level at 0-0 at half time, but somehow Nuno Espirito Santo’s side fell apart in the second period as Chelsea took control.
Thiago Silva, N’Golo Kante and Antonio Rudiger got the goals for the Blues, but Tottenham offered very little, with O’Hara far from impressed and promising some stern words for the players when he analyses the game tomorrow.
Taking to Twitter, O’Hara also said it looked like Harry Kane didn’t want to be there, which will not be comforting for Spurs fans to read…
Kane notably failed to turn up for training just before the start of the season, with the Telegraph reporting that he hoped to force a transfer to Manchester City.
Obviously, this didn’t work out, but it may be that Kane still has hard feelings about being denied a move away this summer, with his performances certainly not at their usual high standards so far this term.
yes i hate the new stadium only built to line the pockets of Enic W.H.L was our home not this monster
Spot on. He should have taken the 75m on offer and got rid.
Trouble was, it turned out they were only offering £75m. I’m no fan of Levy, but I don’t think it was unreasonable for him to hold out for more.
Someone commented earlier that we could do with Graham Potter. We’d need Harry Potter to make magic from ENIC’s brand of ownership.
Well what you gonna say? Kane won’t be even £75 mill from now on as he won’t be top scorer as he use to be where that leave the egomaniac who holds him as a hostage and the team I wonder he won’t get £150 mill fact.
Is Ohara just woke up to realise Kane don’t want be here😠
22 years in the job and you’re right he just doesn’t get it. It’s almost comedic…
It’s bordering on corruption, it’s ok for ENIC to saddle the club with close to 1bn of debt yet Derby County could disappear for FFP misdemeanours around running the team.
How can a club suddenly accrue that much debt but in FFP terms everything’s kosher? Perhaps it is in the way FFP works and measures debt to income. If so it’s not fit for purpose if it doesn’t stop generational debt being racked up by the businesses that own them…
Depreciating
The genius negotiator has left us with a rapidly gepreciating asset. Again. He doesn’t understand football at all.
It really is. My dad won’t set foot in there and he’s been a ST holder since the 50s. In record debt, tried to slime our way into the Super League despite being anything but and Levy gets a job representing other clubs. Can’t make it up.
Being in the new stadium, along with all these bad vibes and mediocrity I’m rapidly feeling that the club is evaporating before our eyes. Soon the fans will despise the new place. It’s made us a club that’s ’all mouth and no trousers’
It’s embarrassing…
I think the 100m for Grealish set the tone, 75m wouldn’t have been enough. Something over 100m might have done it, not 150. That was quoted and it was up to Citeh to haggle it down. They called Levy’s bluff though.
Today’s performance along with the transfer window justified Kane’s position on the matter. ENIC are not interested in winning anything, and therefore do nothing to help facilitate that…
He could be playing Dele to put him in the shop window as no other rationale makes sense. He’s about as useful as a chocolate fireguard.
Cannot blame him. Enic have destroyed the club.
Surprisingly good performance for most of the first half from most of the team; there were two notable exceptions. Big mistake not selling Kane last summer he will become a liability as time goes on, he was practically non existent again in this game and so it will continue. He is adding nothing to the dynamic of the team. He doesn’t want to be there and he can’t quite reconcile what’s gone down this past window. This business about him being un-dropable is because there is no real alternative, no real competition. It has been this way for too long now and is directly down to the penny pinching at the helm. Giving him a new contract would be a huge mistake imo. Sell in January if possible would be far more sensible. Dele probably getting in the team because, once again, there is no real alternative. He was largely anonymous, lethargic, a waste of space and like Winks is surely/hopefully on borrowed time at the club now. These players have been given so many chances to redeem themselves and they can’t. Not surprised by the result, Chelsea miles away unfortunately.
You’re right. Levy should have accepted the £75m Man City offered and got rid.
Kane wants out. To get his move he has to act the Goat, he looks forward to January like a kid looking forward to Christmas.
Yes, nobody will win – by then Kane will be half the player and unlikely to truly scale the heights of wherever he washes up, while the Spurs rebuild will have been cancelled once again
He’ll end up leaving the summer after next with a year remaining just like Eriksen at this rate. For about 25m…
Daniel is so shrewd, didn’t you get the memo?
If the offer wasn’t there it wasn’t there – not convinced City were offering over £100 mill.
If a suitable offer had come in then the rebuild would have been the smarter option – get in Ings, Traore, Warde Prowse and whoever else.
Has to be better than zombie Kane, Winks, Doherty and the little kid Gil getting buffeted about like the last twiglet in the packet.
