The Government should use the recently established fan led review of football to introduce an Independent Football Regulator in England to put fans back at the heart of our national game. This should happen by December 2021.

Kane has told Spurs he wants out. Popcorn time...

 

[AndyWolves]

If he goes to city then there isn't much point anyone else in the league bothering.

Chance they'll be after Raul as a stop gap?

 

[PuntsWolf]

Don’t see where he goes in this country. Chelsea put eggs in other baskets, Liverpool haven’t got the cash and I think they’ll stick with what they’ve got, City would probably look at Haaland first - younger and better “value”. Leaves only United. They need a #9 as Cavani is being used as a squad option I guess but are they going to drop mega bucks on a 28 year old?

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

It’s Woodward. Of course they will. Mega signing to shut the green and gold mob up. Covers the fact they failed to get Sancho and Haaland wants a better club. Kane then will proceed to spend most of next season injured.

 

[Throbber3]

On Kane , he needs to go abroad. He got on well with Poch and they have the money. If I were a betting man I would go for their or City if he stays in UK.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

City will for Haaland. The problem for Kane is he is no spring chicken and has ankles made of poppadoms. Combine this with the fact that Levy is going to drive an insanely high price and Harry might well be going nowhere. At least not until his contract runs down.

 

[AndyWolves]

Will Haaland go to City though? I'm not sure

 

[Tredman]

I don’t know - best team in the world, Dad played for them, pay big wages and chance to further fuck over the team that ended his dads career.

United will get Sancho this summer I think, they won't go for him and Kane in the same window.

Haaland staying with Dortmund one more year.

Kane goes nowhere for me. United I don't think will go for him, Chelsea won't either. City won't pay what Spurs will want, they haven't paid over £65m for a player despite how much they have spent in total and then it was for Dias aged 23. KDB £55m when he was 24. They aren't paying £100m plus for a player who will be 28 when the season starts with dodgy ankles.

The problem Kane will have is he has 3 years left on his contract, unless he has some clause in there about trophies, not qualifying for CL etc... he's pretty stuck I think.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Kane's injuries are massively overplayed, since 2014/15 the fewest league games he's played is 28 out of 38. Five times (including this season) he's played 30+.

I think he'll go to Utd or PSG. A new manager may change his mind but he knows Poch and clearly likes playing for him.

 

[Trips]

Last season would have been less than that but for the covid break, he was done for the season in March. I take the point about it being overplayed, but his ankle would be a concern when spending that amount of cash.

PSG is an option, especially with Poch there, but I think he wants to stay in England Johnny.

 

[Tredman]

He’d be a good fit at Real, but realistically they shouldn’t be able to afford him. Doesn’t mean they won’t buy him though.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

It's a toss up between him and Lewa for best out and out striker in the world. But Spurs will drive too hard a bargain and nothing will happen.

He's supposedly hoping that a gentleman's agreement made with Levy last summer will be honoured and that they'll let him go. Good luck with that one Harry but as you're quite happy to con a ref during 90 minutes on the field it'll be karma that the man paying your astronomical wages is wiling to use similar tricks.

Crystal Palace are further in the mire for next season with news that Eze is out for 8 months.
