Harry Kane

No way, city don't do that. Even if it's true you'd be hard pushed to find city fans that actually agree with that. Tapping up is what the media clubs do, lfc, bayern, Utd.

I really think, (and it does look like) , kane just wants to win things after years of stagnation that seriously looks like it will continue.


It's v nice though that kane and grealish have chosen city as the vehicle for success and not one of the traditional clubs. Its a major change for football in this country, but we're not doing what utd did with Rooney or lfc with van dijk.

I have no problem with tapping up, every club does it, we have many times.

The press will do that when he comes to us anyway.
We've already been accused of causing this by snide sports.

How dare a club want a player from another club, it's unheard of.

not interested in the UK press/media, they have no credibility whatsoever.

Or alternatively, he and Spurs are aware of the interest, but Spurs are not holding their end of the 'gentleman's agreement', forcing Kane's hand.
Trust goes BOTH ways

Tell me about this gentleman's agreement? Id say it was "we will listen to serious offers if one comes in" not "we will sell you to anyone for any price". We heard Levy talking about it openly to Eriksen, Modric talked about it in his book.

Genuinely thought he was about to cry. Fuck sky sports

That is the funniest thing I've seen in a long time.
Man city ruining transfers since 2021.

What a mardarse.

Harry Kane: Man City make £100m transfer bid for Tottenham striker | Football News | Sky Sports

Its not based on nothing, the best us as fans can do is glean whatever info we can.

Fair play, I hadn't seen that, but it explains why the guy on spurs was getting so upset about it. If a deal does happen I'd expect it to be for over £100m (especially if we bid that for Grealish) which is why I was surprised to see this figure being mentioned.

Tell me about this gentleman's agreement?

I know nothing about it, but you say it is 'obvious City have been in his ear'.
I'm offering an alternative, as no one actually knows what's truly going on between Kane, Spurs and City.

See I'm not here to troll you, I popped on to see how happy you guys would be to get him, again I have no issue with him leaving.

I'm glad you don't. Our club do, we don't do that. As you can see from the shite headlines we get tapping up isn't one of them

Report reveals how Spurs' debt compares to big European clubs - Over £1 billion - Spurs Web

According to Swiss Ramble (as relayed by Football.London), Tottenham Hotspur currently possess the highest debt in European football, with the vast majority of it being...

All the more reason to screw as much as we can out of you or United.

Incidentally I noticed the price went up from £150m to £160m overnight.

Think about that £160m. That is a crazy amount of money.

If he goes, we'll do ok. Maybe not this season but we will recover. We always do.

My gut feeling is that Levy feels he can sit this one out until the end of August.

This could be 10,000 post thread.

Seen the claim on talkative website that Loe Lewis and Sheik Mansoor are quite pally after doing business together. Comes from Harry Rednapp
