That's the fuckers

i might be being naive here, but would the normal transfer rules not be in play here? if they haven’t agreed a fee, why would they be meeting with his representatives and not the club?

would this not be classed as tapping him up?

Bit naive mate to be honest :-)

Charlie Kane wasn't his agent when he signed that deal. A mid to large British agency called unique sports manager were representing him.

Also it wasn't a 6 year deal, it was a 2 year extension that more than doubled his wages. He traded 2 extra years for a guaranteed £46,000,000.

Professional agents are not complete amateurs believe it or not.

Does give you perspective, much as 'oh Levy this Spurs that' Kane's own antics and lack of ability to deal properly in the scenario has led to this, and continues to cause further delay. As a player of his reputation you'd think he's got a very strong representation and lots of clarity around how to proceed with things in his career. But instead it's turned out be amateur hour around the whole saga, he's made Spurs' position look stronger than it is.

Don't think there's any such thing as 'tapping up' anymore

I'd hope not, which then makes you wonder why, if true, he swapped them for his brother, unless his brother is a professional agent? I'd still say they and Kane were remiss in no get out clause. Grealish did it right. He gave Villa two more years, realised they were a few years away still from competing, if ever and left.

Daniel Levy is never going to agree to a written buyout clause. It's a non-starter. People keep saying they should have put it in there like it's something that (if you even convince you club to give you one) wouldn't completely change the terms offered to you.

So here's a choice for you. You've just recovered from several big surgeries on your leg. You're 25 years old. Spurs want to offer you a new deal, but they absolutely will not entertain a buy out clause. Pochettino is manager and the club you love are going from strength to strength.

Option 1. Don't sign a new deal, earn £21m over the next 4 years as you run your contract down. Maybe you'll get out with 6 months left like Eriksen, when you'll be 28.

Option 2. Sign the 2 year extension, Guarantee £78m over the next 6 years and assume you'll get bought without a buyout clause like Modric, like Bale, like 90% of players. Otherwise you'll get out at 30. Still plenty of time to pick up half a dozen trophies at the right club.


If anyone on here says they'd turn down £57m on the condition you might be stuck for 2 more years at a club below your level (a club you love anyway), they are liars.

"done deal"

Could the meeting be to finalise the deal? With the player and Spurs?

In what better way do you reckon he could have handled it if he wants out that would have speeded up the process of getting him his move? (other than get a buy out clause in his contract 3 years ago)
