Harry Kane

You posted "City not willing to meet Spurs demands on fee so only way this’ll happen is if we sell Bernardo and Laporte."

People are understandably confused at the very least, as that statement makes no sense. What exactly are you claiming?

As in, City aren't willing to meet the required fee likely due to not having the money for it, so with a double sale we'd have the money and be willing to spend more.

I think that's what he means.

Surely it does not matter what City or Pep or you or Charlie Kane think Kane is worth. What matters is what Levy thinks he is worth.

And it is not clear that, despite what you lot say, that Levy is a willing seller. In the press he clearly says he is not.

I have doubts that this deal can go through. The differences seem massive.

The picture of Levy painted by many Spurs fans is little more than a rehash of the fantasy propagated by the great Glaswegian bullyboy after he had been forced to kidnap a Bulgarian forward at Manchester airport and break just about every rule in the FA rulebook and meet Spurs' asking price to sign him for the rags. Levy was a tough negotiator, the toughest. The rest of football jumped on the bandwagon and Levy passed into legend as the hard man of the transfer game. In fact he's no such thing despite what 'Arry Rednap says. Back in 2009 the one thing he did not do was negotiate. He simply kept saying "no" but that didn't get the rags to meet the asking price - it was us, City, who did that. It was City splashing the Sheikh's despised billions, the money no-one wants in the game, which rescued Levy from one embarrassing climb down. Without City Levy would have accepted the rags' valuation or Berbatov would have gone for nothing a year later.

The situation is different now because Kane signed a long contract which lasts for another 3 years, but it seems impossible that he should stay at Spurs now. It is highly unlikely that Levy can keep such an asset in the stands and Kane's commitment is clearly at an end. Levy will not sell Kane on the cheap but he has to negotiate and, which helps, City don't expect him to come cheap. This is where what City think he's worth is important. My opinion is that he is worth more to City than JG. Probably not £160 million but probably nearer to that than to £100 million. A deal will be done which owes little to Levy's hard man reputation but which reflects the realities of the situation.

Not if we're not willing to meet the required figure?

Not willing isn't the same as incapable.

It may well be just a poor choice of words, but he seems reluctant to address it despite numerous people asking.
 
With the messi news I hope club go the extra mile now and get Kane .. it’ll give him a right boost. Some might differ but I think it’s going to happen.
