Harry Kane

[eastlandsblue]

He is trying it on expecting us to pay every time he scores , never heard of that one before

Probably in most transfer deals involving stickers. Like Tolmie said, if it helps keep the initial fee down, City will be happy

 

[Clevers]

A scoring bonus ? Cheeky fucker , tell me we will say no to that

Why not a 5-0 win in every game against Spurs

I wonder what the FA would say about that,

 

[blueparrot]

We are more than willing to accept realistic add-ons, should it keep the upfront cost down.

Doesn't really matter what the ad ons are for to make up a total price, more about the percptions the clubs can sell.

 

[Dribble]

Kane just came off his best ever season and Spurs didn't even get Europa League football.
They 100% should sell and re-invest in a squad of players capable of regular CL football.
Spurs simply can't afford Kane and a good squad around him, it's either or for them.

Agreed. But Spurs came pretty close to having a squad capable of challenging, with only the need to buy a £60-£70m player per season as a garnish to keep them challenging.

Hypothetically: You're Levy & City cave in & pay you the £150m you're demanding. You lose Kane, but gain the dough. Which players are you buying to replace Kane's goals & further bolster your squad?

 

[Nascent Blues]

because that isn't what it is

It will be something like: 25 PL goals in one season = £1M payment. If he scores 22 no add-on is paid.

If that's the case, expect spurs to get beat 25 nil in both our games this season.

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

Think if we go £120m + £30m achievable addons then that suits all parties and PR concerns for both sides?

Yes mate. Also think it will get done at something in that ballpark.

Levy wanted bragging rights on Kyle Walker and we were happy for him to claim it was £52m, but it was a few mill short of that until he won Prem, etc...

City can't win the PR war, which is why Pep took it upon himself to mention that Grealish only cost us £40m in real terms.

We saw with Jack, when he got back from holiday and the grown ups saw the whites of their eyes, people can talk properly, without agents and media hyperbole.

Nah you're a good poster Bill, match day thread when team is announced wouldn't be the same without you :-)

thanks .
i dont care now mate. i've accepted he's a nutjob. i've renewed but only to secure the seats till he's gone .

Very decent of you, fair play.

Such cynicism. lol

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

Yes it is but why would we agree to pay them over 100m and a scoring bonus as well, that is taking the piss

Not if he is breaking records, perhaps?

 

[zandvoort blue]

Personally I`d agree at a deal at whatever price. Let Spuds go out and spunk £150 million on a few players, then back out on the deal and watch them go under.

Do you have information about what exactly was going on with kane's antics this week? Skipping training, then not skipping training but not returning, then claiming he wasn't skipping training. was this just mayhem from his side or was there some sort of strategy behind?

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

This can't be right TH. The Cockeral further up the thread (Levy's right hand apparently) reckons it's £160m or nothing. And Levy won't talk to anyone but the Sheikh himself because Txiki and Co are such a bunch of amateurs.

He knows Levy and Khaldoon get on pretty famously, right?

 

[hgblue]

By all accounts Levy has already demonstrated he's more arsed about Spurs than Kane. As long as Levy has a contract with Kane's signature on it, gentlemen's agreements, or what's morally right or wrong don't matter.

The legal basis is Kane has a contract. Spurs must weigh up what Kane brings to Spurs, against how much that is worth on the open market, but more crucially, how much it will cost to replace Kane's goals. That ain't gonna be cheap, hence Levy happy to play hardball.

It’s worth contemplating why it is a selling club ever sells an important asset to a rival, they have no need to if the asset is under contract, but time after time the deal gets done. My argument isn’t that Levy should sell because he should care about City, or even that he should honour a commitment to someone who’s served his club well, but that it’s ultimately in Spurs best interests to allow this transfer to happen. Prediction, it will get done.

Such a massive jump up from City not valuing him above £100m.

 

[The Pandorica Opened]

Piece of advice, fella. If the thought of another team signing a player is 'bone-chilling', I'd reevalute my life.

But now I think about it, maybe it's me that needs to reevaluate my life after all? An anonymous, edgy guy on the internet has just told me what's not cool to post. And I really thought I was down with the kids.

Piece of advice. If you're unable to realise that the phrase "bone-chilling", when used on a football forum in relation to a football transfer, might just be being used to mean in the context of a football competition, then I'd re-evaluate your reading comprehension. Sorry to burst the bubble here, but I'm not actually sat here on a Saturday afternoon in mortal terror of where Lukaku goes - but I do think that Chelsea are building a very strong operation for next season, and that if we don't match them by signing a quality number nine, we could very well have trouble on our hands.

And you are down with the kids! Just kids from decades ago who still used both Toy Story memes and the word "fanny", lol

Do you think there's any chance we could do these add ons by a gentleman's agreement . ;-))

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

130 plus 30 in add ons I reckon, do you reckon this gets done? it’s a positive Levy is negotiating

Personally, yes. See it getting done.

City won't leave Kane hanging out to dry.

We've never done that yet to a player who is fully committed to joining us.

Dunne would’ve made a fortune .

To not valuing him above £100m to agreeing to £150/160m (if the add ons really are that achievable) is bonkers.
