“He disrespects the club” – Former Tottenham defender critical of Harry Kane for not reporting to training

By Eddie Razo -

The saga regarding Harry Kane’s future with Tottenham Hotspur is about to hit another gear as the Premier League club and the 28-year-old striker are at odds about what they want ahead of the 2021-22 season. 

According to Italian football journalist Fabrizio Romano, Tottenham maintains their stance in wanting to keep Kane; however, the England international wants to play in UEFA Champions League football, so here’s where the situation becomes problematic. 

Romano adds that if the London-based club decides to change its position, Manchester City would be willing to re-open talks regarding Kane. 

The striker recently failed to report to training in an attempt to push for a move, which hasn’t sat well with some people, including former Tottenham defender Ramon Vega. 

The ex-Tottenham central defender called this act disrespectful in an interview with Sky Sports (via Mirror). 

“From Harry Kane’s point of view, he disrespects himself completely as a fan, as a player. He disrespects the club. Most importantly, the fans as well,” Vega said.

“From my point of view, as an England captain, he has to come and say what he wants to do, and that will be more respected than just hiding and not turning up to the training ground. I think it’s important that the clear message now is, what does Harry Kane want to do?”

As the summer transfer window enters its final weeks, one of the two parties involved will get their way with either Kane remaining or departing.

Who is Vinicus? Don’t insult me. I think he could have done better witj Llorente and Janssen. Even though Vincent was coming from an inferior league, he was a very good #10, running off the ball, his hold up play was very good. The funny thing is we all say, give a foreign player a year to get the down and we were chasing him put of town in 6 month. Llorerente never never to start, but there were lots of game we need him for teams that park the bus when we were clicking and sometimes he dont even make the bench. Kane goes for 90 plus minutes on average im games he started. How are you going to have a back up if they never leave the bench. That is my point of his overall adjustment.

Agree. Nobody knows for sure what was agreed between Levy and Harry when that contract was signed.

I’m not blaming anyone when I don’t know what really happened.

Stop blaming Tottenhams failures on one man. It’s a team game. The chairman failed to build a squad capable of winning anything.

Who is the other striker you’re talking about. Until Vinicius arrived we were the only club in all the world’s major Leagues with one striker. Even a Sunday League team has more than one.

He got some good chances over the years to win something, but he has not delivered in the clutch for the club. Lots of personal achievements, but that has not translated in finals he participated in. But levy is a good place to start in blaming Kane’s failure and not that he never delivered when the chances present themselves.

There is nothing more to it than what you are looking at. Kane has the wind to his back with the fan base. He knows how Levy and Spurs are looked at and he and his entire misguided crew is counting on that. That being said, Kane has been handsomely rewarded and treated with angel’s gloves by the club. The bottomline is, you show for training, you are not obligated to answer a single question from the media. What Kane has done is using his personal position to disrespect the club, period. You cannot just love the club when it is good to you of which history showed they were patient with him until he starts delivering. The club is and will always be bigger than any player. Why am I not surprise, kane has not adjusted his game to play with another striker over the years so am not at all surprise he is all about Harry right now. His contributions to the club is immense, but this stunt is just plain unacceptable from a player of his calibre. This whole conversation is going to turn into a Levy sluggest, but no matter what Levy has done in the past, you show up and handle your back room business.

He will always be remembered by us all. His good character has never been questioned. Compare his character to Levy and Spurs board.
Exactly. If he never kicks a ball for Spurs again you will never slur him in our eyes
If the fine is true Levy, its you who should be fined or sacked. No morals no scruples, no honour. Would you dare come clean?

It would be great if this HAS been worked out between Kane and the club as some sort of smokescreen, but I don’t hold my hopes up. I would have preferred Kane to play this all out a bit more respectfully… but I still hold Levy as the one that caused this F**k Up.

I wonder whether Kane will get stripped of the England Captaincy if he keeps this up?

TBF Levy has caused this situation but Kane is probably wrong to not turn up to training. Both are guilty of something here. Best thing that can happen all round is for City to come in with the money and end the problem. It’s such a shame that Kane’s talent has been wasted because of a stadium obsession.

My sceptical side thinks there is more to this than we all are led to suspect.
To simply ‘not turn up to training’ or ‘go on strike’ as some have reported is NOT the actions of an England captain, a player who is idolised, hero worshipped, a club legend, etc & just doesn’t ring true to me as no matter which way you slice your onions, it’s so unprofessional & disrespectful, something Harry has never been?
Simply by officially asking for a transfer would only lose him a signing on fee but gain him far more in the long run?
So just as a possibility, could it be that,
He was actually at Hotspur Way, arriving on Sun night? Or he was smuggled in yesterday? Or he has contacted the club & was told to stay away because of the media circus? & just maybe there is an ongoing discussion between himself & the club to resolve the saga?
