Many wanted him to give up the captaincy for Kane as well.
Hugo is real captain material, Kane has proved he's a glory hunter who thinks he's bigger than the club.

Jeez I wouldn't want you negotiating on my behalf in a souk.
You have failed to consider if for example we listed him at £80m, United, City & Liverpool all instantly offer us £80m but Chelsea come in at £100m and PSG at £70m.
We sell him to PSG because it sends him abroad. (Apparently we accepted a lower offer than United made for Bale from Madrid). What is his value? £70m because that's what they bought him for?
It is possible to sell a player too cheap, as it's possible to secure a deal at a different price with the belief it puts the clubs best interests first.

Surely Gareth Southgate doesn't view his behaviour as setting the example he would hope for from his captain either.
He's supposed to represent England as the players leader.
Wouldn't be shocked to see Sterling end up as the national team captain on the back of this. With his Euro performances, and making a statement against the racism suffered by English players it would be a good time to appoint what I think would be England's 2nd black permanent captain after Rio Ferdinand?
Henderson probably doesn't have another major tournament left in him. Maguire more likely to get it because he plays for Man Utd.
I said a player, like a house etc is worth what someone is willing to pay for it, that is then the actual value of that asset…
Who was the one who signed a 6 year contract that pays him tens of millions of pounds a year?
Most fans wouldn't be too upset if he just wanted to leave. The reason everyone has turned on him is because...
1. Before the end of the season when we were still playing meaningful games, he leaked to the media he wanted to leave. It undermined our run in and put Mason in a really bad spot.
2. He didn't bother to turn up to training in protest over not getting a move when not a single club has made an even close to reasonable bid for him. It's not like we're saying he can't leave under any circumstance, there's literally been no bid. So what's he achieving by not being in training?
3. Not only is he not in training, he's not even bothered to return to the country yet.
4. Not only is he not in training, he's ghosting our new manager and putting him in a really bad spot.
If he wanted a move? I think we could mostly accept it. It's the way he's acting like an utter prick about it and showing once and for all how he feels about the club. I'm no Levy defender but Harry is acting like a toddler here.
That's because he can barely speak.
The team is training every day and just fought extremely hard for draw against a much better squad… and Kane is in Florida.

,How many disagrees have you dished on this thread ?
Trying to break records ? Keep going tho. Im sure Harry is proud of you. One more here please.

When we needed a final boost ..... but Redknap openly admitted he told Levy he didn't need any more players....
hmmmm what's going on here Ed?
Its just a transcript of the presser, each journo gets one maybe 2 questions
You forget HE SIGNED A CONTRACT he gets paid a fortune too exercise, train, play for the club that pays his wages ....
Sure he wants a move, many people in employment would like to change jobs, try going on holiday and then not turning up for work afterwards, see how your fellow employees feel about that.
If Harry quietly behind the scenes asks to move (see Ings - Grealish) but still turns up on-time and does the job he's paid for - then I'm sure 90% of fans would get that.
Behave like a spoilt, arrogant, millionaire not getting his own way - what did he expect?
I think Levy is a shrewd negotiator. When it comes to a business man like Levy negotiating a contract with a Harry Kane or his brother, I would imagine 10 times out of 10, the agreement/contract comes out in the favor of Levy.
as far as showing up for training, I’ve shared my thoughts that maybe just maybe he feels that he has to do this to force Levy’s hands. I’m sure he would prefer not to do this as he knows what this this would do to his reputation and his position with us fans. I sincerely think he felt that he had no choice with how Levy is holding his ground.
He probably feels that he had to do this or he isn’t moving on from Levy.
if he is moving on, what difference does it make if he turned up for training with the squad unless he is for sure not leaving.
Another rumour is Kane isn't even back from his holiday yet, comes back at the end of this week.
I really think it’s Levy’s game plan to make him look as bad as he does now. I don’t think he has much choice but to play this card. Levy has forced his hand and dared him to do this.
Maybe, just maybe Ings and Grealish had better guys at the management level with more integrity as compared to a snake like Levy? I for one wouldn’t trust Levy.
If Harrry does go we look like we are heading down that well trodden Road of little or no time or options of suitable replacements before the season begins .Hopefully behind the scenes they know what is really likely to happen .
Harry has made himself look bad by staying in Florida and not turning up for work. He is the guilty party here.
