Indeed. It was very deliberate. It was the lowest possible figure that wouldn’t have seemed absurd for a player of his quality and importance.Why 100m though. Why not set his marker at 80m. Or 90m. Or be extra modest on tv and go 60m. Why mention it at all?
It was deliberate. It wasn't accidental, meaningless, or random.
- Spurs have no short term debt that isn’t easily covered by revenues.Im not sure I buy into this narrative of Levy being some great negotiator - he’s a one dimensional hard man - there’s a bit more to negotiating than just saying no and being a twat. He’s in serious danger of once again over playing his hand, Kane doesn’t get his move (which he’s been promised) - so he’s hardly going to be pulling up trees, Spurs financial predicament declines (whatever the media narrative Spurs are in a finacial hole and need £100m to repay short term debt) and the footballing world is once again reminded that Spurs is a club to avoid if a player wants to progress his career beyond mid table obscurity. in Spurs present mid table position Levy would do well to look at Dortmund’s modus operand. Levy would do well to remember that Spurs are presently more Rayo Vallecano than Real Madrid.
And yet Spurs have just signed Bryan Gil - a player who is every bit as highly rated as Sancho was when he joined Dortmund - and are about to sign Cristian Romero.Thats not entirely true… look at how Dortmund operate… why do they get so many great youngsters… because they see a route to develop and to progress. Sancho and Haaland would never have touched Spurs.

Dortmund sign more great youngsters than most because they have an excellent scouting system and because they are committed to giving young players first team opportunities.
Of course he is, anyone else who thinks otherwise will be left disappointed.I'm starting to think that Levy is actually going to hold firm on the 150+.. valuation
I hope he is prepared to have a disgruntled player next season as city won’t pay £150m.I'm starting to think that Levy is actually going to hold firm on the 150+.. valuation
PLAGGY, plaggy what the fuck does that mean. Not only are you a rag **** but an illiterate rag ****. Next time get Mummy to help.Do one plaggy
How much can you realistically spend this summer, and how much income is expected with outgoings?- Spurs have no short term debt that isn’t easily covered by revenues.
- Kane will not have been promised a move unconditionally. The buying club has to do its part.
- Spurs has been and remains a good club for players to progress their careers. This summer alone, they have already signed the most highly rated young player in Spain after Pedri, and should soon announce the signing of last season’s Serie A defender of the year. I repeat, of all the reasons why a player will or won’t sign for a club, the possibility that it might drive a hard bargain when that player wishes to leave will not figure prominently.
Listen, I get it. It’s perfectly understandable that you want City to get Kane on the cheap. But it’s more than a little arrogant to complain that Spurs aren’t bowing down to your club’s wishes.
Depends whether he can afford to or not though doesn't it.If he needs the money to fund his spending and thinks we are walking away he'll drop.Of course he is, anyone else who thinks otherwise will be left disappointed.
Even Kane knows this, hence his desperate actions.
