Harry Kane

[The Pandorica Opened]

I wonder if that figure includes add-ons. I have a feeling that £128m plus bonuses for things like the golden boot or winning the league is exactly the kind of agreement that will be reached after Kane reiterates his desire to leave next week. Spurs do have the upper hand in this negotiation, so I'd be surprised if Levy doesn't get a value of at least £140m out of it - the thought of which he will no doubt spend the rest of the year using as a substitute for Viagra while his club battles through the heady heights of the Europa Conference League.

If Kane accepts a new contract, it'll be because City have withdrawn from any higher fee. No chance of him having his head turned by a no-hope release clause and some higher wages at this point, for me. Down to City to bite the bullet and pay up, which this suggests they're doing. All good. Kane in sky-blue before the end of next week is my bet.

Confused why the figure would be a round €150m. Neither Mansour or Lewis/Levy are based in Europe are they?

Looks better for Levy and the media

Most likely it's something around 125-130m£ and he just converted it to euros and rounded it

Or just made it up.

I think it's pretty obvious that the club isn't happy to spend it.

We've walked away from many deals before because of finances, if the club is prepared to pay such a fee then it's not "too much"

The club won't ever put itself in a compromised position financially.

"How much do you want for Kane?"

"£150m"

"Done!"

....

"How much do you want for 'x'?

"£100m"

"No, how about £60m?"

"No, you paid for Kane right away sure..."

Simplified obviously but you get the guts of not showing your hand immediately.

Sooo:

Potentially: £127m
Euros: 150m
Romano: Maybe possibility probably £150m euros
On the bbc: £150m
In the Sun: £300m
Sam Lee: Approx £140m I heard a rumour on bluemoon
Sky sports: It works out as 635,000 times passing go while playing Monopoly and 9bn Indian rupees so therefore £200m and City haven’t sold any players and are ruining football

To contractually put something in place that allows him to leave, thus avoiding gentlemans agreements that have left him in the shit he's in now.

Imagine the size of the negotiated buy- out clause. I imagine It will be over £100m and by the time anyone can trigger it he will be about seven months short of his 29th birthday. It is a law of diminishing returns for Spurs. Realistically will they even get into the top four with the current squad plus a couple of Levy style cheapo signings to appease his new manager and Kane?

Likely been told its now or never for him to join City, Chelsea have moved on to Lukaku, rags will be after Haaland or spunk 100m on Ings or something. May as well ride out your career at spuds earning more money.

Well he better make it happen then :)

Billy Shears said its been sent already hah

If we don't sign Kane it might work out better anyway, could end up with Haaland next summer.

Only way we win out of this transfer is if Kane signs this summer and Haaland goes to Bayern. If we paid through the nose Kane and Haaland went to United next summer I think I'd vomit.
