Harry Kane

If you were a City fan before 2008, you will understand that football clubs don't need to have any point beyond serving their local community and wider fan base.

The market is already inflated. Levy has every justification to believe that £100m is a silly bid.
Quite right. £100 million is a silly bid. He’s a depreciating asset in a post / present COVID world. £85 million tops.
 
As delighted as I am with Grealish, if we can't afford to sign Kane and end up £50-£60m short I will be left scratching my head at this situation.

Even if we didn't sign Grealish we wouldn't pay what Levy is asking. It's not a case of oops we spent too much money and can't afford him now. It's a case of we have our valuation of what we think he is worth given his age etc. and we will not go over that.

I would argue that our need for a striker means going to £140-£150m would be worth it?
There seems little or no noise of anyone else as a back up so I can only hope we know this is defo going to happen.
 
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.
For my part, I think it would be better all round for Kane to leave leave this summer.

But on two conditions. Firstly, that City pay something approaching Levy's asking price (whatever that might be - but at least £130m + £30m easily achievable add-ons, IMO). Secondly, that Spurs sign a top quality up and coming replacement such as Vlahovic.
 
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.
The argument was that Dortmund is a great club for young players because they let them leave. They didn't let Sancho leave last year. They made him wait.
