Harry Kane

[NorthamptonBlue]

Can it all just go away now please? Kane isn’t worth this much hassle. Tell Levy to do one and let’s move on.

We should have already walked away from this. Levy is being as awkward as he can and has broken his agreement with Kane. We should tell Kane we are walking but will be in for him next season if he still wants the move and sign that Vlahovic in the meantime. Will give us time to free up funds by selling those who want out of the club as well.

Leave Levy to deal with a unhappy and unmotivated Kane disrupting the dressing room all season and then pick him up cheaper next summer.

Can't see that. He's 28 now. A year later and the deal becomes unattractive for City because the player may have a limited amount of top flight football left. No one else is in for Kane, and yet somehow we're around the £130m mark which is already ridiculous. If at the start of the window you had told me we would be in for Kane and Grealish I would not have been surprised but I am surprised at the fees.

There were some Twitter links to AC Milan taking Bernardo on a 2 year loan deal worth £10-15m per season with an option to buy at the end of £40m. Probably total nonsense as per usual.

But that isnt a 40m. That is 60-70m including the loan fees. Which for me is still low, but not absurd.

 

[Chi-town blues]

Every morning you wake up to Levy’s minions in the media spouting his narrative! If we veg Kane for less that £150m they should be called out for it!

Harvest time is almost over .

 

[Coatigan]

@SuperSilva21 did suggest that the deal had stalled over money a while ago and that sale(s) may be necessary, although I note his last post yesterday seemed more upbeat that a deal could be struck.

He posted that his agent was in town dealing with City. On the same day as the links for Vlahovic, who it seeems is another one of his, emerged.

 

[Blue Bogey]

I think there is a 50/50 chance this happens because I really cannot see Spurs turning down £130m for a player who is 28, and who has made it very clear he wants to leave.

Txiki likes this statement and say’s he has got his fingers crossed.

 

[Marvin]

Time for City to make an offer, and if Spurs are not interested walk away and let them stew. Betraying your main man and then expecting him to lead your team going forward as if nothing has happened is not going to work. All hope seems to rest on this but City can't operate like Levy and leave everything to a last day of the window lottery. What a way to run a football club and people wonder why Spurs are struggling.

I wouldn’t be happy if we sold Kalvin Phillips for under £70m. Harry Kane is a far more proven player in the PL and is in the top 5 in the world for his position so to suggest he’s not worth £50m more doesn’t make sense to me.

£70M for Phillips? You need to stop sniffing the hovis pal

Adding Kane its 7 association and 1 space to make the 8 requirement.

Squad size - 22 (Foden doesnt count yet)
Non HG - 15
HG - 7 (Carson, Walker, Ake, Stones, Grealish, Sterling & Kane)
Spaces - 2 (one NG and one NOT)

You missed my point, it’s not 8 association trained. It’s 4 association trained and 4 club trained meaning if we have 7 association trained then 3 of those will take 3 of the 17 none HG squad places so we have to sell to buy!

Just for fun; maybe we should wait until they've bought replacements.

Or have a youth association 3rd GK and not register Carson

If we don't buy kane I would love for kane to storm into levy office and tell him if you value me at 160 mil I want to be payed 350k a week to justify that price tag and completely mess up spurs wage structure

Just don’t check the thread mate and relax away from it, then it all goes away without City pulling out :-)

He won't take a pay cut mate

£70M for Phillips? You need to stop sniffing the hovis pal

He’s as important to us as Jack Grealish was to Villa. Aren’t those the kind of figures reported for Rice?

And no one has gone near Rice,,,, not worth £100m.

Which West Ham is happy with, since they dont want to sell. Thats why they have set a price that high.

 

[BamberBridgeBlue]

In what world is Harry Kane worth little more than Harry Maguire?

A world in which the economy was locked down for over a year.

I'd take him for that

The problem with this transfer is that it was always going to be difficult to get Kane out of Spurs. Spurs understandably don't want to sell.

I think City fans should look at the big picture and not just follow what City are doing. We think City are preparing bids and offers based on inside information and reports from journalists and when you want something to happen you give extra weight to evidence that suggests a deal is advanced. It takes three parties to complete a transfer. Kane we can assume wants to move to City but in this case Spurs are very resistant to selling. City can talk about £130m bids all we like but if Levy is ignoring them, then no transfer is going to happen. We're just basically hoping that at the 11th hour Levy is going to change his stance because that is how he operates, a man who traditionally has liked to play the transfer market in the closing weeks.

I think there is a 50/50 chance this happens because I really cannot see Spurs turning down £130m for a player who is 28, and who has made it very clear he wants to leave. But should we trust Levy to act in the best interests of Spurs? Anyone who appoints Mourinho as coach, and who repeatedly plays roulette with the transfer window in its last week is a questionable operator imo. Spurs are struggling because of their managerial decisions and now it impacts on us.

"Spurs understandably don't want to sell"

Not sure that is true Marvin and as you rightly say can they turn down 130m plus for a 28 yr old with a dubious injury history?

Not sure they can or would want to, Spurs is bigger than Harry Kane and if he leaves life goes on.
