Harry Kane

[kaz7]

25 PL goals would have to be the minimum per season

He is trying it on expecting us to pay every time he scores , never heard of that one before

because that isn't what it is

It will be something like: 25 PL goals in one season = £1M payment. If he scores 22 no add-on is paid.

Imagine you’re Harry Kane, you’ve offered great service to your club, you have an agreement with the chairman that you can leave if a certain price is offered, and you know that price is going to be offered by a club that almost guarantees winning things, and gives you the opportunity to play for the best manager in the game and alongside some of the best footballers in the world. So you allow yourself to get mentally prepared for an exciting new phase in your career, only to be stitched up by an absolute **** of a boss who reneges on the verbal agreement and costs you your dream move. You looking forward to the new season? You feeling motivated to win things for Spurs? You proud to captain the side and happy that you’re at a club that treats it’s players well? I think not. We’ll be fine, we won’t abandon him, but at some stage we’ll have to move on to other targets. Be great if we could sign Kane, but losing out on him isn’t a disaster for us. Doubt Kane will be overly amused though.

By all accounts Levy has already demonstrated he's more arsed about Spurs than Kane. As long as Levy has a contract with Kane's signature on it, gentlemen's agreements, or what's morally right or wrong don't matter.

The legal basis is Kane has a contract. Spurs must weigh up what Kane brings to Spurs, against how much that is worth on the open market, but more crucially, how much it will cost to replace Kane's goals. That ain't gonna be cheap, hence Levy happy to play hardball.

Think if we go £120m + £30m achievable addons then that suits all parties and PR concerns for both sides?

Seems a very sensible solution

maybe we should put a clause and charge them if he fails to score

Can’t believe the mods haven’t banned you yet.

nor me.

They had that last season and finished below West Ham and got in the European Conference, so I think the cash would be worth far more….

And the cash would elevate them back into CL contention?

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

What’s City’s reaction to this?

No idea. The fact Spurs are touting wiggle room, however, suggests a deal is there to be done.

Would also explain the contradiction between Kane's camp being told Spurs will let him leave, and Levy dragging his heels.

I see it being signed off a couple days after we play each other.

That stance has changed in the last 48 hours.

Spurs will accept a reduced base figure but the add-ons are very achievable.

Would take it closer to what they want, but if we win the Champs League, we would be happy to pay it, anyhow.

They also want a scoring bonus.

130 plus 30 in add ons I reckon, do you reckon this gets done? it’s a positive Levy is negotiating

Something like...

£120M starter +

£2m for every golden boot with us
£2.5m if Kane wins Ballon d'or
£5m if Kane breaks Shearer record with us
£5m if We win the CL
£10m if we win the quadruple
£12.5m if we win the Quadruple undefeated
