Harry Kane

6% doesn't sound a lot but taking your figures you have already apparently offered 24% of your yearly revenue. That is my point, the starting point to here is already fu****g huge. You can't remove the £120m or 24% of revenue from the context here and say its only another 6%, its 6% on top of an already astronomical figure. I'm 100% certain Spurs aren't moving from that figure, they may move slightly in terms of included easily met add ons but the headline figure will remain unchanged.

Let's go back to the average UK wage of £31k for the UK.

You want to buy a car. You're offering £7500 currently. The seller wants £9300. That is not an astronomical or insurmountable gap.

Depends which way you look at it. We are about to take their best player and the best striker in the league. Irrespective of fees (Spuds will blow it all anyway) that is us using our position of strength.

We have walked into two clubs this summer and taken their captain and best player. Statement of intent.

The thing about transfer fees is they always look good in hindsight if the player is good.

Kyle Walker for £50m was steep at the time, 4 years on it looks like some of the best money we've ever spent.

£49m for Sterling was a British record, 6 years and 150 goals later it's one of the biggest bargains post-takeover.

If we pay £150m for Kane like Levy wants, it will look like he's won the transfer battle for about a year. 5 year later no one will think that.

It all comes down to if you think Kane is going to score 40 goals a season for us and I think he will, so I'm sure the transfer will be viewed as money well spent.
 
Tell Levy to do one if he wants 150M. We've screwed up majorly by focusing on Kane and now we're being held to ransom. They know we need a striker and we haven't got anyone as back up.

The scale of Levy's mismanagement will become apparent in the next few seasons. With Pochettino he had a manager and a team that could have won the league in 2016 or 2017 and become CL regulars for a decade.

At the critical moment, when everyone knew it was time to invest to push them over the edge and reap massive rewards, he refused to buy anyone for 18 months, despite selling players.

Now they will consider 8th a good season and are likely to be permanently overtaken by competent, ambitious owners at Leicester, Wolves and Aston Villa. Spursy will not mean finishing 5th or 6th, it will mean finishing 10th.


I believe this is why the Spurs fans have been so obnoxious and deluded about this transfer. They know that it's not just losing a 30 goal a season striker, this is the death knell of their brief entry into the top 4 and Champions League football and almost winning something.

Funnily enough a Spurs fan that I know, who is a decent guy, said to me this week that Spurs where headed back to their usual place in the scheme of things and that their flirtation with the top 4 etc was over.

I've said it earlier in the thread, but by my reckoning there are only about ten players in the league who without any debate would instantly improve us. We are attempting to sign the only two who don't play for Chelsea, Liverpool or United and therefore couldn't sign.
 
I see the whole Kane situation as a win/win regardless of whether we get him or not.

If we get him- Great we have a world class striker on our hands.

If we don't- Spurs are left with a player who will never forgive Levy for blocking what is likely to be his last chance to play for an 'elite team' and win major trophies. In addition, we would then be in pole position to sign Haaland (possibly even Mbappe if he doesn't renew at PSG) next summer.

We would be utterly stupid to even think of giving Spurs the quoted 150M. As per most of the more reliable journo's/ITK's City's max offer will be 100M plus various incentive based add ons that could see the package reach 130M if they are all met.

Should Levy choose not to take this offer we should go with what we have and sign Haaland next summer. It's not ideal going into the season with Jesus as our only proper striker but it worked perfectly well last season so there are no reasons to worry.

We literally can't lose.
