Problem for them is that they're not replacing Kane, they can't and they won't be able to.

Whatever they sell him for, they aren't going to attract a replacement for a similar fee.

That leaves the conundrum of diluting the fee received amongst several new signings, and its easy to repeat the problems they initially had, when they sold Bale under similar circumstances.

As much as I detest the guy though, Son is a fantastic player and they are fortunate to have him at least.

I dislike Spurs, they are all fur coat, so I hope this marks the beginning of a period of decline for them. It would be good for us.

Son only has 2 years on his deal.

If he doesnt extend he'll be off in the next year
 
2 seasons ago CL final, Pochottino, and Harry Kane.

What a fall, Levy really drop the ball didn't he, 1 billion stadium to pay off, BoE loan to also pay off, Spurs will be going back to midtable mediocrity.

I hope so. Funny things going on there. Everything they touch at present seems to go wrong. Some light entertainment amidst our problems.

I think what is interesting is, for all of the talk of our awful season, we are level with Spurs. There is now growing talk of quite a big spend come the summer. I look at Spurs and think they are the biggest one man team going as well. I know Son is good, but he scored 4 in 1 game at Southampton early on, and after that has had a relatively quiet season.

Kane's goals have won them 10 points, if you factor in his goals and assists that is 21 points. If you remove each of those it has Spurs in 12th and 17th respectively. If you work to the premise thatm a replacement coud get half the goals/assists he did and therefore 1/2 the points back (so they lose 5/10 points) they drop down to 11th/12th place. We have seen this season it takes a long way to claw yourselves back from this.

To contradict myself slightly, I do think the big worry for Spurs in all of this is that they price hikm out of a move asking for 100m+. He is left unhappy and inevitably his output drops a bit and the squad are also left unhappy. You get the sense he's played out of his skin this year and through injury to carry them, but not sure how long he will keep doing either for.

Daniel Levy has an air of dead man walking there. I'm sure he doesn't need the money anymore. It might pose problems as he is going to be selecting the new manager almost single-handedly I'd imagine. If Kane goes, and Levy follows, then any new manager could soon find themselves working with a person for whom he isn't their man.

Last nights antics in asking the fans to sit high up in the stands was just another stupid and ridiculous call. They really seem to have lost their way. I suspect as well that they'd really rather not qualify for the Conference League, and I expect them to lose on Sunday. If that happens and Arsenal finish ahead of them, then they really have "Everton'd that" this season.
