The Prophet Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 That Kane move was finalised awfully quickly for a man that was allegedly leaning towards staying at Spurs less than 24 hours ago. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was getting a bit sick of hearing the “will he stay/will he go?” Shite. (Oh, and the Shearer record thing. Hope he stays in Germany till he retires.) It was as much about hearing that he was obsessed with breaking the record for me. It’s such a weird, arbitrary record. I hate the ‘football started in 1992’ bollocks.

M4 Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 (edited) Fair play to Kane, to be honest. Been a critic of his many times, but this will not have been an easy decision and regardless of the financials of it all, he's had the guts to pull the trigger on the move. It will be class seeing how he gets on, actually. Plus, he looks much better with a number nine. Edited August 12, 2023 by M4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean if Klopp wants you it's law that you have go, who the hell does he think he is !! *in other news* I never thought the transfer window would make me laugh, proper little chuckle I had, good times. As a football fan born in the 80's, the idea of turning down Liverpool for Chelsea is mental to me. It's hard to wrap my head around the fact that for players like Caicedo at 21 years of age, Chelsea are arguably a bigger club than Liverpool.

gbandit Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Not sure I fully understand why the decision took balls, most footballers across the world have to move to a different country and learn a different language. Yes, the precedent is not the same for British players but that’s just because we’re an island full of weirdos. He’s made a decision based on dollar in the bank, the almost certainty on winning major honours and the fact that Spurs have been a total shitshow Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The strength of the domestic league - especially how much you’ll earn - has a massive impact. Almiron still can’t speak fluent English, despite most of career being spent in two different English-speaking countries. I do think it would be good for more British players to play overseas - as many did in the ‘80s and early ‘90s - but I do understand why it is rare these days.

Dokko Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Wow. Not sure I fully expected to see Kane leave, but there you go. Shearer's record stay in tact for another decade. I wonder who they'd go for? Personally, think they'd do a canny job buying Watkins & Toney for the Kane money, having Son & Richarlison for the support options in either 3, 2 or 1 upfront. Obviously Toney is out till 24, but would mean his price would be lower now than in the next window. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBG Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Think a lot of the slack he's getting is over moving to a nation of born losers. Yes on a football level the international team has won 4 World Cups & 3 Euros. Yes on a team level the Champions League has been won 8 times and the Uefa Whatever It's Called These Days 7 times, respectively by German sides. But never forget on a human level those two wars. Never forget. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kimbo Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 I probably would’ve waited for the free transfer, but I think him leaving now shows how poorly he thinks this season will go for Spurs, he must see it as a waste of time. I bet he was quite unimpressed when they hired an SPL manager. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
