The Official Tottenham Hotspud thread [Vol 12]
Discussion
ker for the day?
I've mentioned it elsewhere but my thought for this morning is that we should sell Kane and here's my thinking.
1. His career has stalled at Spurs, if he wants to be remembered as one of the greats, he needs to move somewhere where he has a chance of winning something in the next few years before he gets too old, that's not gonna happen at Spurs.
2. We've arguably had the best out of him. The team around him don't provide the service anymore and he's become a bit injury prone too. He's been injured every season for the last 3 seasons now.
3. We could still get £100m+ for him at the moment but that won't last. We could use the money to invest in the squad. It worked for Liverpool with Coutinho. Admittedly we are pretty rubbish at buying players but we have to try something.
Thoughts?

Kane not playing so no there weren’t be any diving to shout cheat at.
I just need to cover up the “I love bang average Bobby” neck tattoo
Make sure your vaccinations are up to date, drink some decent beer before you go in and don't worry about mentioning World Club Champions and European Champions as that's a foreign language to cockneys. Lived in London for last 25 years.

If there is one thing you don't need to worry about at the new place, it's getting a decent pint. They serve up some lovely stuff in the ground now.

I think our tastes in beer differ as Heineken owned Beavertown don't produce anything "lovely", that's done by the more interesting craft breweries such as Brewdog / Kernel / Electric Bear / etc.
Well I'm not a connoisseur but stuff like Neck Oil and Gamma Ray are more than decent enough for my tastes and a lot better than they serve at most other grounds tbh.Guvernator said:

No one is taking this question on Guv? my opinion from the outside would be 1. His career has stalled at Spurs, if he wants to be remembered as one of the greats, he needs to move somewhere where he has a chance of winning something in the next few years before he gets too old, that's not gonna happen at Spurs.
2. We've arguably had the best out of him. The team around him don't provide the service anymore and he's become a bit injury prone too. He's been injured every season for the last 3 seasons now.

I think this all would depend on how much Levy is willing to give Jose, if it was under 50m then yeah sell for 150-180m and reinvest - if he is getting enough to get 3 top players in then no.
Its not a 1 summer fix by the looks of it, will take couple of windows I imagine to get your FB's CBs CM's in

Zero consideration to the other side of the coin - the player himself. He's a London lad, married to his childhood sweetheart with two very young children and both sets of parents near where he lives. There isn't a club in London that can guarantee a trophy so it means moving away to achieve it, possibly even to another country. Would he do that?1.

It's what I've been saying you guys should do for at least a year now.
A front three of Son, Alli and Lucas is easily top four, possibly even title challenging worthy depending on the players behind them. You'd be a lot more dynamic, pacey and Kane seems to have a major injury every season now.
