Harry Kane was always going to be the subject of speculation this summer and within 24 hours of the transfer window opening pundits are at it throwing out their “opinions” about the England captain’s future.
Let’s take two SkySports pundits, Paul Merson and Matthew Le Tissier. Merson said via Sky Sports that Man Utd will become title challengers if they sign Kane and he reckons they will get Kane if they put down a massive bid.
Le Tissier takes the opposite view as quoted by HITC and reckons that Kane is going nowhere and that he will probably be more interested in breaking Alan Shearers Premier League record and that if the 26-year-old really wanted to move he would have done so already.
Basically, neither of them have a clue and are just guessing and their opinions are no more valid than a guy in a pub.
That said, I like the pub and so here is my opinion and it is no more or less relevant than the chaps from Sky Sport.
If United came in with a £200 million offer then Daniel Levy would sell, that is who he is and he would be happy to take the abuse from the fans if he could realise that sort of money.
At the same time, I also reckon that Kane is content to stay, he has his roots locally, he is now a family man, he is centre of attention at Tottenham and the team is built to serve him.
So, my opinion is actually a mix of Le Tissier’s and Merson’s, and just like those two, it is pure guesswork.
Expect a lot of Kane gossip this summer, he will be one of the most speculated players in this transfer window but I will be sat here fairly confident that he will be our main man all next season.
If he’s prepared to work UNDER Sacramento🌚 I do like Scotty parker. I hope he brings Fulham up. You ain’t seen the last of joshy O.
If harry leaves Tottenham he leaves England. I don’t think harry will want to play for another premiere league team, only his wife knows for sure though
“if Maureen does actually have some control in their transfers”
It all depends on this.
We were told we were selling Elvis and getting the Beatles…. Levy and Baldini came with the Spice girls.
Fa or mickey mouse cup, maybe even the ropey if Maureen does actually have some control in their transfers. He knows how to win.. The prem and champs league no chance for 2 or 3 years.
Time will tell brother.. How deep is that loyalty.. Is it 100 per cent lilywhite pumping through the veins, yiddo legend to be… Or will he turn into red devil veins, turn his back on us and join Manure. My worst nightmare is him going to manure and also Poch taking over from babyface 😆 No cheering and clapping them anymore. No love. It’s war. Can see him playing for them. They have got Greenwood though.
The people who really know what Kanes thoughts and plans are those closest to him… His mrs. His best friends and family.. I pray he will stay. Wouldn’t blame him for going obviously but it would be a very dark day indeed.. Without him we wouldn’t even make the ropey league… We wouldn’t have a striker at all… And we are being linked with Llorente again! If we wait multiple windows to replace Llorente with Llorente then I wont know whether to laugh or cry.. Tough to know whats fake news and whats real these days its 50 50..
Same as usual, UCL/EL and top 4 it’s the same every year. Levy tells the Manager go after the money comps not the cup ones as has been shown for the last 5yrs Then we will have money to build a team with YaddaYaddaYadda. Oh sorry the moneys gone maybe next year, Rinse and repeat.
Hang on HW did one against the Foxes!
Regarding the current side:
Keep Lloris, Kane, Son, Dier, Moura, Lo Celos, Dier and Sissoko
OUT
Aurier
Davies
Alli
Expensive flop Ndombelle
Lamela
Neat and tidy but still searching for that defence splitting pass – Harry Winks
Can I be so bold enough to nominate ex- Spurs midfielder Scotty Parker (playing alongside Modric under the sexy swagger Redschnapps era remember that??) as a future Spurs manager. Having earned his badges, softly spoken, eloquent with a steely determination are essential ingredients for the job!
Hello I am back with my astute thoughts later in the show!!
yobro.
The longer José is here the more cups we’ll win and the football will get better and better. Jose gonna have us swaggering in a few years time. I hope he’s around for longer than poch.
I hope your right but very much doubt it .
Main targets will be EL and top 4.
The moment spurs started curbing his temper is the moment it all started going not as good. They took the fire from his belly. Let their football reflect their personalitys, init Marcus🌚
From everything Harry has said in interviews about looking forward to next season and working with the new boss, I think he will give Jose one full season and then make a decision next Summer. If he decides to leave after that I will be gutted but I couldn’t blame him one bit. You only get one career.
Dele ain’t worth much now. He has two left feet and keeps falling over.
Id say Harry would like a whole injury free season with Spurs, if he scores say 30 goals plus, then the big checks will be out again, hopefully that will also mean us winning a trophy and getting into the CL. Levy wont allow him to leave this season, 3 decent signings – Hojeberg, Kim and Willian and we can be competitive next season, lose Aurier and have Japhet and Foyth as the RB`s and Sess and Davies as LB`s Kim will fight for CB time with Dier (totally hopeless in midfield, but a real leader at CB) Toby, and Sanchez, Get Ndombele playing, him, Lo Celso and PEH is am exciting midfield and Son, Kane and Willian is a world class front 3 for outgoings we can cover with sales of Aurier, KWP, Rose and Lamela – COYS!!!

We all want to be in the CL not just Enic If you win the CL possible £100m against Carabeo cup £150,000. I wonder have City been targeting the wrong cup. The more realistic targets are the domestic cups,EL and top four finish.
Jose can do both. Top four and a cup. Poch obviously couldn’t do both
Cheap “kettle, to some.
I’d have to agree with this.
Rude boy kai
Harry I’m sure would love to be a one club man but the next five years are going to be the peak years of his career with the best will in the the world we’re not winning the Premier League or Champions League in the next two years, so we’re asking him to give up the years between 27-30 in the hope that we will have a title winning team in three years. We might have but it’s a gamble.

Don’t forget the £18,000 watch Levy gave him as a leaving present.
No no no. The Kane money is only for strikers. 2 £80mil to £100mil ones. The lb and rb can come from the dele money
Also a LB and a RB, and perhaps a playmaker too. But we must do better than the Bale splurge..
We will strengthen the squad and most of the players have played at CL level,so the EL should be easier.
We’ll buy 2 more with the money. I’m all for that actually. Two good good strikers to cover all games.
Cripes Tappa if we can’t win sh_t with the worlds best striker how the hell will we manage without?
Money soon get squeeze out of our big money titties again🌚
if I was Harry I’d tell Levy to put up or shut up, by which I mean add to the squad with quality players under Mourinho so I could win trophies at Spurs, or I’d move on to a club like City or Liverpool where they have ambition and not just be a selling club extorting the fans under false pretences of trying to be big, but really being just a façade to make money. ENIC are basically perpetuating a scam.
Kane loves Spurs but discount Danny is just using and abusing the lad under false pretences. If Kane was a greyhound then Levy would be prosecuted for cruelty to an animal with the intention to profit from it’s misery.
Levy must be one of the lowest human beings on this planet, genuine scum.
Stop worrying about the 30 year bond man. Its not a problem. The academy will cover that eventually.
Harry if you leave and we start winning things you’ll never forgive yourself even if you have won a bit more else where. Just saying harry mate.
Well if we’re going into the ropey without adding to our squad we’ll be playing with a weakened team too.
Once the stadium is back in use, it will create us more money than it costs in interest payments, so that’s of benefit to us, not a burden. So I don’t see this as a reason to sell at all.
Say we win the League Cup next season does anybody think that’s going to be enough to keep Harry. He’ll be watching to see if ENIC buy quality players this window and in January. If he sees the gap to Liverpool and Man City isn’t closing then he’s wise enough to work out if the club are matching his ambitions. Jan Vertonghen left after eight years with good financial rewards to show for his time here but empty handed when it comes to trophies. I wouldn’t want to see Harry Kane suffer the same fate. Harry is a once in a generation type of player who you build a great team around. If our chairman can’t do it then let someone else do it.
That’s because enic weren’t interested in domestic cups and still aren’t. The reason they’re paying Mourinho double klopp’s salary is to repeat what poch did –get them CL money.
200 million is unrealistic at the moment but is probably close to Levy’s ‘magic’ number. Besides everyone knows Spurs have a huge debt that needs paying off so there is pressure to sell, which helps the buyer. Levy will have to wait until player prices go up again once the pandemic is over as you say. Mourinho may be enough to persuade Harry to stay in the hopes of some silverware next season but the ‘jam tomorrow’ thing is wearing thin.
Kane may make the decision for him.It wouldn’t do anybody any good to have an unhappy bunny around the squad.
If Kane was to decide to go this summer he might be persuaded to give it 12 months with a promise to go after.Mind you I wouldn’t put too much credence in a promise from Levy.
Why doesn’t “Levy just sell him to the highest bidder” if he doesn’t care if his goals are missed or if we suffer on the pitch? Because you will get more for him after the pandemic is over and prices go back up. I believe he will have a bigger chance of winning something under Jose because he takes the domestic and Europa league cups more seriously than Poch ever did who always played weakened teams.
He’s publicly quoted as saying he will review his situation at Spurs because he wants to win silverware.Realistically he won’t do that at Spurs anytime soon.It’s obviously in his mind as he’s very driven.
He’s not getting any younger and through over use because we have no proper backup,he has become injury prone.If he doesn’t move in the next 12 months it will be too late.
It’s also true that Levy would have a figure in mind that he would accept from one of our competitors as I don’t see him moving abroad either.Levy would not be bothered about any abuse coming his way.
Harry Kane is a bit like the Golden Goose for Levy. Yes, he could get a lot of money for him flogging him off to the highest bidder(and there is the matter of those pesky interest repayments) but if he is sold his goals are going to be missed and the team and club would suffer on and off the pitch. Happily, Levy has come up with the perfect solution – only have one recognised striker on your books so that you kill him slowly through over-use (playing on his loyalty to the club) but still get goals and attract potential sponsors to the club..Win/ Win for ENIC. Genius.
if I were in the same pub…I would be saying Merson will say just about anything about top players leaving Spurs, and Kane would not go to united. He is not looking for a pay day type of player, if he leaves Spurs it will have to be for a contender, not for a club where he is expected to make them kick on. So in the PL you are talking City or Liverpool, else will be the continent. Then I agree with Tis, I think Kane wants Shearers record, but he doesnt need to stay with us to get that. I dont think Kane wants to leave, but I do think he wants to win stuff, and sadly, only Tappa really thinks Spurs will win something with-in Kanes playing career.
