Levy might be correct in this instance especially from a financial point of view, but didn't he promise Harry kane that he could leave like three seasons ago, and then went back on his word?
Why Harry hasn't kicked off/protested more is beyond me, he's a world class striker at a mediocre club that is only going backwards. The dude should have left when pochettino did.
He probably learned during the City saga that there is nothing he can do. He signed the contract and that's that.
Possibly, but that's assuming the gamble pays off and they secure top 4. I have a sneaking suspicion they'll miss out on CL regardless, Kane or no-Kane. I think we might we'll end up with an "everybody loses" type of situation where Kane leaves for free next year after Spurs finish 5/6th.
I just don't see them getting top 4 with Arsenal and Newcastle being as strong as they are. To make matters worse Liverpool have addressed their midfield issues, and who knows what will happen with Chelsea, it's not like their squad lacks talent and Poch is a good manager (don't let his PSG stint fool you)
More than a sneaking suspicion for me - my base case is that Spurs aren't a top 4 side. The only way I see them making it is if being back in the CL is such a wrench for Arsenal, Newcastle and Man Utd that their league form suffers badly. It certainly wouldn't be the first time this had happened, but all three clubs are on paper better than Spurs and have been strengthening their squads over the summer.
Yeah I pretty much agree with you. Also, it's typically Europa League that screws with league form. CL has a bit fewer and better placed fixtures (the thursday-sunday cycle seems to really mess with players' recovery and schedule).
