Harry Kane

[SPIDERBOY]

Shhh. £160m for a 28 year old Kane will be Levy's greatest deal.

In the end, everyone will see sense and the deal wont happen.

Maybe next year.

Not a chance £160m.....and certainly not next year.

The whole saga is a shitshow.
The fee, especially the fee.
Him going on strike cos he can’t honour the contract which he signed and took the bumper pay rise that went along with that.
Was he crying when he got x amount extra in his wage packet each month cos of his contract?
Was he fuck.
£130m+ for a player that isn’t fit (is he ever?) and is about to have no preseason with a new team with totally different tactics and at a pace way beyond what he’s used too.
Might be a couple of months before he even starts to fit the team, if ever.
I’ve got a feeling after all this if he joins us he’ll bust a gut to try impress, run harder, tackle harder and then end up injured.
He ain’t worth the fee and don’t think he’s worth the hassle imo.

Yes

It goes both ways. Spurs gave him an improved wage in return for helping them secure their investment.

He's effectively done them a favour instead of running down his contract and signing for another club on much higher wages than the improved ones Spurs offered.

I don't know why I bothered typing that, given that you're clearly entrenched in your own point of view.

He ain’t running down his contract cos he stupidly signed a 6 year deal.

His first mistake is having a “gentleman’s agreement” when there’s a £100m+ contract at stake.
For all we know this gentleman’s agreement could be that if a good enough offer comes in then he’ll be sold, then it’s what Kane deems acceptable and what Levy does.
Maybe be if he’d hired a proper agent instead of making his brother rich he wouldn’t be in this predicament.

Your first mistake is believing everything you read in the press

Your valuation simply does not make any sense.

1. Firstly we know you can afford £160m. You can probably afford £300m
2. You have set the market price high with £100m for the beautiful Jack. Kane is clearly a more valuable player
3. Thirdly despite what many of you are saying, we don't need to sell. Yes, the debt is massive but it is well structured and manageable.
4. Does Kane want to go? Yes, of course. But if he goes on strike until August - so what? In the end he will have to start playing again or he is not in the England squad and he does not get his dream move to United next summer.
5. Three years on his contract means he is still very sellable next year
6. We'll need replacement players - a striker is £60m maybe more now they know we have cash. Plus we hope to buy a few more so we have a good chance of one them becoming a superstar that you can buy in three years (see Bale's money)
7. We want a nice little profit on the deal
8. So £60m for a striker, a few more at £20-40m each and some profit plus the uplift/tax because it is City seems to equal £160m not £100m

One other point that no-one has mentioned is that, maybe, and this is just supposition, the new stadium naming rights could be contingent on Kane staying.

“his dream move to United next summer”….
Must try harder

If it doesn’t happen this year I doubt it’ll happen next year.
Maybe the scum might come into the mix, but to us I doubt it.

You’ll get a few of the Transfer Forum weirdos moaning at you for your post but you’re not wrong.

Paying £100+m for a player that will not get any better nor any faster (and we’ll never be able to sell him on) at his age now, is daft behaviour from City.

Three figure sums should be reserved for the excellent 22-25 year olds who you know you’re going to get a good 6-10 years out of. This bloke could be fucked in the next two years looking at how unathletic and slow he already is and how many injuries he’s had.

The fee is silly and Spurs want more than we already want to give.

comes to something when your star man is levy, he put you in nearly £600 million,in debt, it doesn't matter how its structured your fucked(see arsenal) and they were a lot better position than spurs are, this debt will weigh you down,40m per year just for the stadium, your selling your best player , what next? its a slippy slope your on, i could see you struggling to get top half over the next few years,then the slope becomes steeper ,oooops careful.

You could almost call it idiotically naïve.
