Has Kane created a problem for Spurs?

Mauricio Pochettino revealed what we all already know during the week, that it was a priority for Tottenham to offload Emmanuel Adebayor and Roberto Soldado. At the moment harry Kane is a one man strike force at the club.


That of course does not simply mean selling Soldado to the first and lowest bid, he will have to be promoted to clubs in Europe and bids invited so we can get the nest possible price. We'll be taking a loss on the player who cost us £26 million and has never fired.auctioned around. Those who believe we don't have to pay the rest of the fee because we are selling him are barking up the wrong tree.

There will of course be clauses within the contract between Valencia and ourselves that trigger payments. Standard clauses would be got number of goals scored, game time, qualification for Champions League. This will reduce the fee so losses will not be as great as at first appear.

There has been plenty of interest in him around Europe before and will be again during the summer transfer window, selling him shouldn't pose too much of a problem, Adebayor on the other hand is a totally different kettle of fish.

Pochettino has made it clear, with the full backing of Daniel Levy, that Adebayor has no part to play at Spurs. The club made it clear they were fed up with his attitude after the November argument with Harry Kane. The young Englishman has backed up his stance by showing his work rate for the team on the field, it puts Adebayor to shame..

We tried to offload him during the winter but he wouldn't go to a club in the bottom half of the table, clubs who were prepared to pay 75% of his wages. Instead Adebayor set himself on collision course with the club by trying to engineer a move he knew would not be sanctioned to West Ham, who were only willing to pay 50% of his wages. He had already been told he would not be loaned out to a club in the top half of the table.

There were offers from Qatar, but Adebayor didn't want to ho there. Nobody in North America was interested in paying his wages and clubs were totally put off when Roma made enquiries only to find out from his agents the salary he was on. Roma officials were not only surprised nt the extent of his wages but flabbergasted when he demanded a wage increase to move.

Adebayor flaunts his wealth through the pictures h posts of his cars, bikes, plane, stc so to suggest he needs a high wage for the charity work he does would be erroneous, it's an excuse we heard when he left Manchester City. The flaunting of his wealth rather defeats the interview he gave where he tried to say he doesn't play for money, Ade only plays when it suits Ade and that is usually at contract renewal time.

Our only option may be to loan him out for a season. We would need the other club paying as much of his wage as possible and preferably to a club in another country. he isn't going to take a pay cut and even has the cheek to say he is happy at Tottenham, by which he of course meant he is happy with his wage at Tottenham. Any footballer who is happy not being in a squad each week or never playing does not have the winning mentality we require at Tottenham.

Has Harry Kane caused a nice problem for Spurs with his success this season. He is the first choice striker and will be next season so any striker Spurs buy will have to share the striking duties, which means the Europa League, if we qualify, and cup games. Players want to play in the Premier League though and that is certainly the case with a player like Danny Ings at Burnley.

Available on a free transfer we spoke to his representatives in January, trying to negotiate a free transfer for the summer. However Ings has made it clear playing football comes first, not the wages. At Spurs Kane would be standing in his way so his arrival at Tottenham would be a surprise. The rumours he had to deny in January were that he had agreed to join Real Sociedad in Spain managed by David Moyes but his recent comments to the Independent seem to put that to bed.

“One thing I don’t want to do is go somewhere and, not rot, but all of a sudden disappear for a while. [Somewhere] you don’t really get a look-in. I always back myself and no matter what step I take next I want to do well. 
“One thing I do want next year no matter where I am – and I don’t know where that is going to be – is to work with a manager who is going to coach me and really develop me as a player. That’s all you can ask for, to learn and be the best you can be. It is important that you do get football. 
“A lot of other things can suck you in when it comes to moves and I am sure that it has happened in the past to people. My main aim next year is, wherever I am, to play football and to enjoy it and develop. 
“You don’t want to have a good couple of years, come through the Championship, have a good first year in the Premier League and then not play in the Premier League for another year or so because that is a backward step. 
“No matter what contract anyone is on it is important that you are playing football. It is a short career and you have to earn a living but at the same time playing football is the best way to get better contracts anyway. That’s the way I look at things.”

He would be guaranteed the first team football he wouldn't be guaranteed at Tottenham or Liverpool. He would be a good signing for someone like Newcastle, i just don't see him ending up at Spurs taking into account what he has to say, despite the fact Pochettino would develop him.
