If it was the other way around and wasn’t given for Spurs, I’d be livid, not gonna lie.

Considering Chelsea’s contract lengths, it’s no wonder players chose them. No matter what happens - bad form, injuries - they’re set for majority of their careers.

It also has the potential to massively backfire for Chelsea, we’ll have to wait and see.

Gutted. Was expecting it, but it still hurts, it’s not like any other departure. All the best Harry!

I was really surprised to see this news, considering Klopp already talked like it’d been completely done. Wild saga…

As if there’s not enough drama already!

I don’t mind the information about halted move itself, just the presentation - as if Plettenberg sat in the car with Kane… tabloid drivel.

“Kane is waiting right now every second in the car for permission to fly to Munich”

Yeah, sure… Plettenberg is such a clown.

I fully expect a bumpy season, or at least until November/December. But I don’t think losing Kane is as big of a deal as many would guess. Yes, making up for thirty goals is a massive task and last season Spurs would get into relegation fight without Kane, but there’s new coach now, probably strengthened defense and attack seems to still be decent. I’d argue when Spurs lost Bale, they were more of a one man team than now and they survived it fine.

TLDR: I think 6th could be both achievable and considered a success in Ange’s first season.

Kane’s era, I suppose becoming record goalscorer for a team, being central to everything for almost a decade, counts as an era. If not, I don’t know what would.

End of an era - I can’t see Kane not going now. Hard to swallow, he’s phenomenal player and will leave a big hole to fill in the team. The big reset is truly on now - new coach, completely different tactics. If Spurs have to adapt after losing their talisman, now is the best time I guess.

After weeks of silence on the pressing issues in the back, this sounds too good to be true, much needed however.

Incredible, strong interview. Always thought calling Dele lazy was unfair, he really seemed to lost his passion and spark for football. I wish he really finds it again and hell, I would love to see him return to Spurs and kill under Ange.

Yeah, it’s madness, I feel like SMS was the hottest prospect/elite player forever now, so many clubs linked to him only for him to end up in Saudi Arabia…

If Bayern are serious about getting Kane, they can’t possibly think €80m would be enough. I don’t think Levy will even think about anything less than 90m pounds. If Bayern are unwilling to go up, then Kane surely stays.

If that’s gonna be the case, I’ll be so envious of Chelsea fans. Would kill to be able to buy a kit without a sponsor!

Holy crap, this community really went nuts while I was asleep! Cheers for setting up bots and stickied, much appreciated <3

Let’s now hope that human interaction will soon follow and we won’t drown in a sea of bots :D

In the endless cycle of hope - excitement - disappointment - despair, every summer is comfortably hopeful for me. This time twice so, I really like all that’s coming from the club. Just today I read an article on The Athletic about Postecoglou’s staff, training etc., and while it’s always like that when a new coach arrives (players love training, hard work, are enthusiastic about the style of football), this time it feels more genuine.

Mainly it’s because Ange got a huge background of attacking football, it’s a given that he’s gonna play like that with Spurs. With Mourinho and Conte, it was always a stretch to expect anything too exciting.

This sounds like an incredible double deal, fair play to Levy & co.

Very much looking forward to that part!

And now Romano confirms it’s done! That was quick.

If you’re interested, Patient Gamers discord has been running Game of the Month for a while now. Each month, two titles are picked via nominations & voting (people running it first choose a theme, be it genre, feel or whatever, then games are chosen), one long game, one short, then people can discuss.

Also Sungmo Lee, a football journo from South Korea, tweeted that Spurs wouldn’t consider any sub 100M offers, while for Son it’s too soon to consider Saudi.

Fucking hell, burying a career like that. I know, I know, money and what not, but he would have plenty opportunities to get the bag later.

Gimme gimme! Gonna be a monster

Didn’t follow this one closely at all, but it seems strange that it’s already the third time something like this happened since Bayern sacked him.

Much better than on Reddit! Love it with replays, thanks a lot to everyone who’s putting the work in!

Would be utter madness to not sign him, let alone for the reported 40 mil or what not. He didn’t have the best season, but the whole team was shit, before that he had shown his insane potential.

Well written article, I’m curious what becomes of Bellingham in Madrid, he’s got every reason to be an absolute world beater.
