Probably not worth £200 mill now?..
It wasn't like he was lighting the place up. His last 5 games played, he scored 2 goals. 1 was a pen against Norwich. So 1 goal against Brighton from open play in those 5 games. Not exactly breathtaking.
So Real, Barca, PSG, Juve, City etc etc can now pick him up for £80m. He could go to somewhere where he'll win something rather than Europa league campaigns and scrapping it out with the likes of Everton and West Ham.Probably not worth £200 mill now?..

It's still our loss!
We turned down five years ago the opportunity to build a team around Kane, Lloris, Eriksen, Son, Dele, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Rose but deliberately decided to ignore the opportunity.
5 years on Kane is probably looking at the state of the current team and thinking "Hmm".
How much does Levy pay you per week?Isnt that in fact the team we actually did build around him 5 years ago? .....The team that's now on the decline?
Yes, the team that we pointedly refused to re-inforce (Dembele, Llorente anyone?) over several windows.Isnt that in fact the team we actually did build around him 5 years ago? .....The team that's now on the decline?
Yes, the team that we pointedly refused to re-inforce (Dembele, Llorente anyone?) over several windows.
Instead we got signings such as Janssen, Nkoudou, N'jie, Aurier and increasingly Lucas Moura, and I'm staring to think maybe even Ndombele, Lo Celso and Sessegnon (who have been injured and/or underwhelming)?
We're now pinning our hope on a loanee, Fernandes!
Don't worry Jack Clarke has been recalled from Leeds!
Don't wanna ruin your Sunday, but Clarke is on loan at QPR and even played 20 mins yesterday.Don't worry Jack Clarke has been recalled from Leeds!
No idea what you're talking about. Please explain in English.Please spare me all that jive....
Please spare me all that jive.... You said we didn't build a team around Kane 5 years ago.... That's bollocks.
No idea what you're talking about. Please explain in English.
Five years ago we had a core of a team (in their early/mid 20s) to build on. We don't any more.
We have a shiny stadium and world class training facilities, but a team that is troubled by Watford, Southampton, Middlesborough etc etc.
What colour is the sky in your world?Thanks for the disagree mikes01666 but you absolutely did. You're as good as lying to me.
Which part of the statement is 'dumb'.Stop 'sound biting' and just own your original dumb statement.
Which part of the statement is 'dumb'.
From my perspective it's all factual.
Well, at the risk of sounding 'silly', who have we added?For starters, Toby, Son & Dele were part 'building' of the team we built around the core of quality that Poch inherited 5 years ago.
To say we've ignored the need to add to that for the last 5 years is silly (being polite here).
Well, at the risk of sounding 'silly', who have we added?
Alderweireld and Son joined in the summer of 2015, Dele, early 2015 - just outside my 'five year' statement. Would it make it any better if I changed that to '4 years'?
The point I'm making is that we've not re-inforced from the core of a very good, young team with potential, citing 'stadium' as the reason.
Pochettino may have brought in 27 players (I can't be bothered to check) but how many are still with us, ever played for the first team, or were duds?
You're citing Wanyama, Lucas and Sanchez as stellar, club-changing signings? Well our respective bars are set at very different heights! How do you explain Janssen, Nkoudou, Aurier etc?
