In what will be an unpopular opinion amongst Tottenham fans, ESPN pundit Alejandro Moreno has urged Harry Kane and Eric Dier to leave the club.
It’s been a disappointing campaign to date for Spurs, as while Mauricio Pochettino lost his job midway through the season, they looked set to fall short of their objectives prior to football coming to a halt due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Injuries have hurt them with Moussa Sissoko, Heung-Min Son and Harry Kane all spending time on the sidelines in recent months, but their failures this season could impact their plans moving forward.
Speculation is often rife about Kane, and Moreno has now risked incurring the wrath of the Spurs faithful as he believes it’s time the 26-year-old moved on.
“Now, Spurs would love for him to stay,” Moreno told ESPN, as quoted by the Express. “So if I’m Harry Kane I’m thinking ‘Do you know what? This was supposed to be my club, in my heart’ – you’ve got to stop making emotional decisions when it comes to business.
“You have to make a pragmatic decision and what’s best for you and your career. Take your profile to where it belongs to Harry Kane, to a worldwide importance, not the local importance of Spurs. Go on, son.”
Meanwhile, the report goes on to add that he also tips Dier to leave too but for different reasons.
The England international has made 25 appearances so far this season, as he has spent significant periods out of the side. Moreno believes that he has gone backward in recent times and that in turn could call for a fresh start elsewhere.
“You think that this guy was going to take his career to a different level, and he has stalled,” he added. “But he has stalled to the point to where he’s not only stalling but kind of regressing and going in the opposite direction.
“I think he could do, personally, with a change of scenery.”
Tottenham will undoubtedly hope to improve the squad where possible ahead of next season, but time will tell if that process involves losing players first to make space for new arrivals.
Moreno who? 🙉 All i know about that guy is that he shares levys hairstyle.
As a cb he would get in to bottom half sides first team as a cdm maybe championship
He wouldn’t get in any of those sides. I don’t even think he’d get in the Burnley starting XI tbh.
Kane is gone, and he should go. The peak of Spurs is behind us for the foreseeable future, he’s too good to flouder around in a club with no ambition. Good luck to him, my only question is Barcelona or Real.
Dier will stay, because the bald numpty has a price on his head that’s about 3x what he’s actually worth. He’ll be 3rd choice CB next year behind Toby and Sanchez.
Levy, for all his reputation as a famed businessman and negotiator has cost the club a fortune. Apart from exceeding the budget for the new stadium by 100%, leaving the club with an approximate debt of £600 mill, he has cost the club a lot of money in writing down the valuations of existing players and by not capitalising on recent sales due to his intransigent negotiating stance and by taking his eye off the ball due to his malign micro managing management style. Eriksen was valued at north of £125 mill and was sold for 17 mill. Wanyama left on a free and we will get little or nothing for Rose. Toby was for sale at circa 75 mill, but nobody was stupid enough to pay it. Dier was valued at 50 mill which was hard to believe. Nobody will pay 150 mill for Kane or Alli, they are both damaged goods for different reasons. The only upside is, given the travails of the current economic football situation, that a cash rich club like Spurs could take advantage and sign some good players at advantageous prices. Unfortunately, there is nothing in Levy’s track record to indicate that he has the ability to seize the moment. It will be the same old story that we couldn’t get the transfer over the line which has always been and will always be hogwash. You could argue that for Enic, until recently, Levy has been a financial success, but with even more certainty, one can make the point that for the Spurs fans, he is a disaster.
If we keep overusing Harry, he’ll be out injured again within a month of football restarting. The more injury prone he gets the quicker his transfer value will fall. Those £150 million valuations are pie in the sky. Nobody in a depressed transfer market will be paying anything like that, maybe for Mbappe not for an injury prone 26 year old with all those miles on the clock. As for Eric Dier, I’m not sure where he is going, would he get into City’s or Liverpools first team, would he even make it into Leicester or Wolves first eleven?
