Ten thousand people (though I'd guess it's even less) is laughable, nearly a non-event. Especially considering in the past these organisers were able to gather a much larger crowd.

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.

 

Bayern proposal worth above €100m accepted by Spurs. 30yo has been leaning towards staying but must now make a decision

Seconding It Takes Two, a fantastic game. Played with GF who's not gamer at all, enjoyed the hell out of it.

 

"Terrific couple of deals for Spurs. They're getting James Maddison for £40m and Harry Winks is heading to Leicester in a separate deal for £10m. Maddison is the perfect fit for Postecoglou and Winks should do really well at Leicester and help them in their bid to get back up."

 

The north London club hold a strong interest in Havertz and are now working to sign the 24-year-old.
