Thats what scares me most.....our recruitment is absolutely pittiful especially in forward areas.

It became the correct decision to sell as soon as Kane made it clear he wouldn’t sign any new deal. Maintaining control of the move is almost more important than the money for me.

The issue is more that there hasn’t been a proper succession plan, and there isn’t much faith that can be had in the club adequately replacing him.

I still want Ivan Toney. 60m. Richarlison until January and then they fight it out for the spot

We were all disappointed when Bale left us for Real all those years ago, p**sed away that money on 7 random players with only Eriksen being any success (in my opinion) and then we went on to better things post-Bale.

Start off a new era without Kane and hopefully a rebuild under Ange and spend the money better than we did previously!

That's the madness.....club should have said this (insert figure) is what it'll take....don't come until you come with that figure.

Not all this back and fourth....now all we've done is left us without out star player and little chance of getting someone in.

Finally, a rational take on it all.

No one wants him to leave but if he's not going to sign a new deal, he has to be sold. It's that simple. He's too valuable an asset to allow his contract to run down.

If he is now having second thoughts, you can bet your life that Levy AND Bayern will be putting pressure on him to go, assuming he's already said no to a new deal. I bet that's what the delay is. He's realised he wants to run his contract down and Levy has just said "you can feck off, mate!!!"

Time for Richie to step up.. He's clearly gonna get a lot more playing time.... Hopefully he does well and justifies the outlay. Hopefully he'll be a success playing centrally, not having to play second fiddle to Kane with a manager that will back him and play to his strengths

Nothing to do with me whether he stayed or went but as magnificent as he was Spurs didn't manage much success with Harry so who knows if a change of approach the cash will let you buy , a new manager with a differing approach and other players stepping up alongside those you've already bought will bring?

Could be the start of something "better"? I think Ange could be your best signing this summer but time will tell

Gotta think his preference all along was to go to United next summer (post takeover on a free), 2nd choice was probably working with Poch @ Chelsea or money permitting, go to RM to play with MBappe

Maybe we did do that?

Who's to say we didn't say to Bayern in June, £100 Million or no deal - they then try their luck with £70 Mill, £80 Mill, £90 Mill etc, and of course this all gets reported as everything does nowadays, and now finally they've met the price we set?

I hope whatever contract Bayern have offered, levy has at least matched

Not convinced on Toney, regardless of the ban.

28 next March, already reached his peak. Great player for a Brentford, but isn't going to take us to the next level IMO. We should be looking for a either striker around the 23-25 year old age bracket, or a younger one like Wahi.

TBF Spurs have had Kane for 10 Years at his peak, Got 213 goals out of him & are gonna make a 100mln quid profit. It doesn't really get much better than that. As good as he currently is, he is gonna start to decline into his mid 30s. If he won't commit LT then now is as good a time as any to sell.

If you take sentimentality and the fact that we as a club have wasted the last 3 years of his Spurs career (wrong managers, bad signings etc) out of the equation, then this is 100% the right move

100%

I'd put every penny of the sale in front of Brighton for Evan Ferguson but something tells me they want even consider a sale south of 100m.

Absolutely - looks the real deal. Hoping we go for transfers like this and return to the sort of policy we had around 2014/15.
