The simple Tottenham angel with the glass ankles, Harry Kane, today decided to release a statement to @kickaroundfootball regarding whether he will still be playing for the Lilywhites next season. The statement reads…
“Hello. My name… is Harry Kane. (I say this at parties wearing black-rimmed glasses and in a Michael Caine accent. Everyone laughs and says I’m really funny). People are asking ‘Am I going to leave Spurs?’ I’ve supported the club ever since I stopped supporting Arsenal when I was a boy.
“Though I never supported them Gunners anyway. Honest. Someone must’ve photoshopped my head onto the photos of me in my beautiful, precious, hidden Arsenal shirt. I have a decision to make.
“Do I want to stay at Spurs, a club most players with ambitions to win things – Gareth Bale (first time), Luka Modric, Christen Eriksen, Kyle Walker and Vincent “Goal-a-Season” Janssen – can’t get away from quick enough or do I want to stay and not win things?
“We have a lovely stadium. It’s a great place for fans to sit in luxury and watch us not make the top four or suffer a Europa League knock out at the hands of some foreign team no one has heard of.
“Also – and this is a spooky fact – all the catering is provided by Levy Catering UK. Isn’t it great that someone with the exact same surname as our far-sighted, wheeler dealer Chairman won the ten-year contract to do all the catering? What a coincidence!
“You can see why I’m torn. Our going-nowhere, sort of managerless team with its football genius Chairman doing the negotiating knows how to attract some really famous names in the summer.
“Bringing Bale back was such a success, he wants to go all out to get Modric back. After Luka, Mr Levy is looking into bringing back Glenn Hoddle, Pat Van Den Hauwe and Martin Chivers; those boys would bring some much-needed experience. So, who knows? Your guess is as good as mine.
“I do know that I have a ‘Gentlemen’s Agreement’ with Mr Levy and – as he’s such a gentleman – if I do want to leave, he’s certain to honour that.”
