So what? Theyâll never be able to attract a talent of Kaneâs caliber and they wonât produce one in another 50 years. A manager is only as good as his players are.
I would say Pochettino is the main reason why spurs have overtaken us, not Kane.
Iâm not suggesting Kane isnât one of the best strikers in Europe but Pochettino had Kane missing for several games last season and the one before and they still scored goals and last season still managed to finish above us.
Kane wonât go next summer, but another couple of trophy-less seasons may give him something to think about â especially if he continues to perform at a high level and outgrows them. Spurs will continue to insist he isnât for sale of course, but they said the same thing about Modric and Bale. If Real Madrid or another top team comes in for him with a humongous offer and Kane is like, âYeah, you know what, Iâve done all I can here, itâs time for me to win something,â Levy would at the very least have to consider it.
Spurs need to break their salary cap too. If they continue to win nothing, the âprojectâ alone will not be enough to stop Alli, Erikisen et al having their heads turned by clubs whoâll triple their wages.
I think this is what will stop spurs keeping their best players.
Kane is earning less than Walcott and he, or his agent, are going to start to look elsewhere.
The same goes for Eriksen and Alli as well and possibly Pochettino.
If he gets spurs to a top three or higher position then the big clubs in Europe are going to go after him.
Yep I think Kaneâs only 60k before bonuses and what not itâs a joke, Yannick Carrascoâs on around 40k aswell last I heard, makes the 110k weâre payinf Theo look disgraceful.
