Robbie Savage slammed his fellow pundit Chris Sutton for suggesting that Harry Kane would be willing to stay at Tottenham Hotspur because of Ange Postecoglou’s ‘brand of football’.
The former Premier League midfielder kept it blunt and told Sutton ‘what an idiot you are’ for thinking that Harry Kane would stay at Tottenham to ‘finish in the top half’, whilst playing this new attacking style, as he told BBC Radio 5 Live Sport.
During these past few years, Spurs fans have been used to and frustrated with this so-called negative and defensive style of football that has been put on their table.
In typical Kane fashion, he has still worked his magic, winning the Golden Boot and being the top assister under Jose Mourinho, whilst he struck a stunning 30 goals under Antonio Conte last season.
But now, Bayern Munich are still trying to knock the door down and get the 30-year-old on board, but so far, the response has been no from those running the ship at Tottenham, according to Sky Sports.
As of this moment, nothing has come out from the Kane camp and when it was put to Robbie Savage that he should address the situation, he disagreed.
On Kane having to come out and publicly discuss the deal: “Why on earth does he have to do that?” asked Savage. “Would you give yourself a deadline (if you were Harry Kane) or would you wait until the end of the window?
Response to Chris Sutton saying he would stay at Spurs because of Ange’s style of play: “So, Harry Kane is going to stay at Spurs because Ange Postecoglou plays a ‘lovely brand of football and they are going to finish in the top half’. What an idiot you are.”
Kane edging towards staying…
Tottenham are now in Barcelona for a pre-season friendly, but certain members of the squad haven’t travelled, including Kane himself.
It’s nothing to do with the speculation, just Postecoglou preparing for that Brentford game at the weekend.
The Spurs boss will be hoping that Kane is in the starting XI for that match because, if that’s the case, then it probably signals that he will stay, which will be music to the ears of the fans.
