Harry Kane

Regardless of whether Kane joins City this summer, it won’t be because Spurs has to sell.

Over the past couple of pages, I’ve seen claims that Spurs have to pay back the Bank of England imminently and that the debt is growing exponentially because of the interest payable.

It’s simply not true. The £175m BoE COVID loan has been repaid after Spurs recently raised long term debt of £250m via private placement. As to the interest payable on this debt plus the stadium debt, it amounts to some £30-40m per annum. A fair chunk of money, certainly. But easily serviceable for Spurs - especially once the new stadium can start generating income again.

So if Kane is sold to City this summer - and I fully concede that it is possible - it will only be because Spurs have weighed up the pros and cons of keeping or selling a talismanic player who wishes to leave (no doubt about that!). The amount offered will have to be sufficient, in Levy’s opinion, to enable Spurs to rebuild and grow stronger.

Nothing else will influence the decision. It is decidedly not about Spurs being in dire financial straits.

Yep true but they just don’t have that interest to pay monthly do they?

People forget about the furlough money too. ;)

I want both transfers, Kane and Jack, to happen, would be a huge statement of intent, but I would like them to be both cheaper than is being quoted. Now that would piss a lot of none Blues off.

It won't piss them off because the usual suspects in the media will always inflate the true figure sadly. I suspect if we do get Kane it will be for a lot less than the £150m figure, but if it becomes that due to add one linked to performance then who cares. Unless the transfer market does crash whatever we pay now will probably seem a bargain in 3-5 years.
 
Can’t believe people are moaning about signing a 27 year old guy that scores for fun in the premier league even with a mediocre team and also moaning about one of the best young players in Europe . These two players will take us to to new heights and we will be fucking awesome .
