Harry Kane

Exactly that. You don't sign long deals expecting to stay, you sign them for a pay rise and to make sure the selling club get a good deal. Levy will have told him that if he gets a good deal for him he can go, and Kane understandably thinks smashing the English record transfer fee very comfortably meets the criteria, not the English record plus half again.

And reference to £100m made during the ratboy interview also set the fee discussed

 

[I'm Blue]

Star reporting we are £40m short of the 160 they want, FFS.

Hang in there Daniel I believe in you : )
£120m is too much, anything more and we’re getting dry bummed.

It is amateur hour, for the life of me why didn’t he translate the gentleman’s agreement into a buyout clause?! That would have protected his interests and don’t see how it would’ve harmed Tottenham’s. What’s this nonsense about a gentleman’s agreement, put it in the damn contract!

His agent is his brother, not a savvy and professional agent.

 

[Stoned Rose]

Levy won’t play ball. Kane won’t be coming.

Thanks Daniel.

Is the gentlesman agreement something agreed last year, way after the contrct was signed and as he never thought about leavimg then didn't need a buyout clause.

Under potch/jose he expected spurs to push on, last year it is evident they have stalled and so he asked if he could leave in the summer, whoch he claims Levy agreed to.

If true it is still a bibding contract

 

[lancs blue]

I wonder if he’d entertain the Webster ruling. It’d be a game changer in football if he did.

I doubt City would agree to him doing that as the bigger clubs have something of an unwritten agreement not to use Webster because it could have some blowback on their own squads.

IMO

Kane's been told, sign the contract to protect our investment and when you leave next year everyone's a winner. That's been reneged upon and now he's fucking fuming and rightly so. People in the media talking shite about him, he was clearly told he'd be able to leave on the back of a tournament for 9 figures, he's took it at face value (big mistake)and now he's being made out to be the antagonist.

You dont orchestrate that " goodbye" last season without promises being made, it doesn't happen


Even if he stays now I can see him not celebrating a goal etc to get out ASAP.

Well Kane brother and Kane are thick as fuck then if they think 9 figures is 100m it can also be 199m my god Kane has loyalty to his brother but he comes across as a naive as they come levy be pissing himself when Kane signed that contract! This is going to cost us well more that we thought if we really pushing this deal..

Totally agree. In a different life, I worked a lot on multi million pound contracts where the clients were sometimes lax with their requirements. I used to stand up in front of them and say, " If it isn't written, it was never said" just to protect ourselves from them coming back downstream.
