Why are you defending Levy? He and Lewis are taking the piss out of Spurs fans.

I'm not defending Levy indiscriminately. I just don't believe that he is naive enough to have specified a (low) figure at which he would sell. Not even verbally. Negotiation 101, you just don't do that.

It would be just as easy to argue that City are taking the piss out of City fans by making it quite clear that they are after Kane without making a bid that comes anywhere near his asking price. Why are you defending them?

But Pep has already said we are not interested in Messi as we signed Grealish and thought Messi was staying at Barca. If we had an idea Messi might be available, we don’t sign Grealish imo.

I just thought Pep ramped up the pressure on Levy by saying if you don't negotiate we walk and with Messi being officially without a club now it means Kane isn't our only viable option anymore.

I dont know.

But Gil and Romero signed.

They might look at how Kane, Bale, Modric, Berbatov, Carrick, Sheringham, (i cant remember them all) all went to Spurs and got big money moves later.

But they all had to wait longer than they wanted and footballers do not like waiting.

Of course you'll still sign good players, not everybody is going to reject spurs because of it but if you're looking at a potential superstar, they are going to have numerous offers, a team like dortmund have a reputation of sticking to their word and allowing them to move on when they agree, spurs have a reputation of being like a cage, once you're in, there's no getting out easily, that's going to bite back at some point and if there's a choice to be made between two clubs with those reputations, it's probably not going to favour spurs.

fuck off to spuds forum
 
Pep speaking has made me feel more confident we will get him. The fact he said we are interested tells me alot. Usually Pep would come out and say something like he's a Tottenham player and I don't like to talk about players at other football clubs. I think it shows we have put everything into Kane. Hopefully Pep saying if Tottenham don't want to negotiate then it's over, is just him trying to get Kane to throw in a transfer request.

Genuine question to you mate do you actually want to keep Kane or would you rather levy come to the table and gets a fee for around £120 mill?

If I was a spurs fan I would want Kane out you have had his best years and are in need of a squad refresh. It may be painful in the short term but i think it would benefit spurs long term.

My brother is a spurs fan and he just wants him gone now for instance. Interested to get your take.

I guess that Levy wants more than £120m.

As you will find out, he is hard to love despite his goals. He is also hard to hate. I feel a bit meh about him. I loved Bale, Berbatov, Modric, etc. and was saddened when they left. I don't feel that about Kane.

On balance I think Spurs are better off with the money. I agree they need a refresh. Or just to build a team around someone else.
