Personally thought he was very overrated after seeing him in the Euros. Not impressed with him at all

Should be a good move for all concerned - we know Kane can score goals as a conventional centre-forward but he can also drop deep and play in others. I think City will face a real threat from Chelsea and Man Utd for the title and Kane should give them a bit extra. Spurs are not title contenders and clubs like that will always struggle to keep their star players.

Not impressed with him at all Overall I was disappointed with him in the Euro's but I don't think the style of football we play helps him. However the bloke has been scoring regularly for 7 seasons in the Premier League and scored nearly 40 goals at international level, he's a very good player and I expect being around better players, will make him an even better player

Therefore it was with eager anticipation that I was looking forward to watching Harry Kane play. So it was very disappointing that see that he was a pretty average player after all the excessive hype. It was very much an "Emporers New Clothes " moment.

Said it before, average player, bar the first 20 minutes of the euro final---- didn't do much.chiellini and bonucci dealt with him easily

Average player?! Hahaha!
I'd go with Guardiola's rating of a player (amongst many others) rather than yours.

Sometimes it's worth taking a step back and try to look at these so called star players and imagine that you had no prior knowledge of them. I am sure it would be surprising how many look pretty average and in many cases seem to keep a place in the team because of their history.

His history is 152 goals in 213 games for Spurs and England in the past 4 seasons.

I am sure it would be surprising how many look pretty average and in many cases seem to keep a place in the team because of their history. That is the exact reason you shouldn't judge based on no prior knowledge &/or 3 group games as technically that would make you clueless! 3 group games: 0 goals Germany, Ukraine, Denmark: 4 goals Thank you very much!

Probably wouldn't get a game for Town!

Dunno if you lads heard, but Kane was quiet in a European final against one of the most decorated centre-back partnerships of the 21st century, ergo he's ****ing rubbish.

If you think Kane is an average player, then quite frankly, you are bonkers.

If English fans don’t rate Kane maybe he could switch and come and play backup to Kieffer Moore.

I doubt City will pay that much. More likely, as has been reported elsewhere, they'll include Sterling, Mahrez, Silva or Jesus as part payment. As makeweights go, they're bloody good - and all (except Mahrez) younger than Kane.
Tough one for Daniel Levy. He wants to keep Kane and his contract length means there's no pressure to sell on that score. Spurs fans will probably be delighted if he stays but Kane wants to go and City need a striker. He's had a few injuries along the way though, and they don't usually get any better with age.
This one could go either way but Son and Sterling would be an interesting partnership for Spurs.

City aren’t buying Kane on his international form, they’re buying him for what he has been doing in the Premiership for years.
Plus giving them that bit extra in Europe.

If he's gonna win any trophies he needs to move, unlikely to do that at Spurs anytime soon

Probably about right in today's money. I doubt it, post-pandemic. I think every player's value has come down a bit because clubs don't have the financial strength they had 2 years ago. £160m is probably just tabloid talk anyway but, assuming it isn't, would Kane (28 next week) be worth £87m more than Jadon Sancho (just 21)? He's a great striker but also seems susceptible to injury every season. If he's lucky, he might have 4-5 more seasons at the highest level - hell of a price to pay for that. And, unlike a Messi or Ronaldo, he's not going to generate a fortune in global merchandise sales to help pay the bill.

Well kanes alright against the likes of Brighton, Burnley, Norwich etc, but can't step up to the mark in the 'big games', and there's been a few over the last few years----- just saying like!!!

I'm sure he scored in the Euro semi final but i must be mistaken. He's no doubt scored against every opponent in the Premier League too. How many 'big' games have Spurs been involved in? Not many, hence the reason he wants to leave.

Premier league clubs still received 10s of millions of pound for just being in the league. Having no fans in the ground won't make much difference to any club in the top half of the prem.

It's a small proportion of the biggest clubs' revenues but it's still an absolute loss of tens of millions. Even more, empty grounds also mean lower revenue from merchandise sales, hospitality packages and rebates payable to broadcasters and sponsors. Every club has lost heavily from the pandemic. There's a reason why the transfer market has been so quiet and why clubs are moving players on to enable them to bring new players in.
