The Son thing is a hypothetical, I think he's settled there for his career. As is the keeping Kane bit.Except Son signed a new contract a matter of weeks ago during the whole Kane transfer saga. I think you are hugely over exagerating the effect Spurs keeping Kane would have on other players or our reputation. Keeping a player to his contract when the buying club will not meet the selling clubs asking price has happened before, and will continue to happen again and again. It is nothing unusual or strange or rare. I think you'll find the footballing world totally understands Spurs stance of pay our asking price or there is no deal, and that includes players, just obviously not Kane.
If anything I was talking about Real. Why does anyone have a gentleman's agreement, if they're as worthless as onlookers say?
Think of it this way, do you trust people who say one thing and do another? Sure. Because you're a smuck on a board, like me, and not someone who handles agents and deals of tens of millions of quid in a tight knit industry.
I joke - but even as a lay person, you can see that one key reason reputation and a person's word matter, is that if you incorrectly rely on someone keeping their word, you might not be able to keep your word to another person. And if that's your career in the balance, it could cost you everything.

Yes the same way that Modric is on record as being totally understanding in the past too. The same way multiple managers declined to work there.
Even Pacos de Ferreira are taking the piss on their twitter.

Done and dusted last week and only awaiting announcement … if you believe last week’s chancers. And woe betide anyone who challenged it. The fact Kane didn’t play against us “proved” it beyond all doubt. QED.So would we all, but is that probable today?
Where are they now?

And clubs walking away from another for setting unfair valuations on their wantaway players has happened time and time again also. We've done that countless times when clubs like yours just see us as a blank check.
I think you're underestimating how bad this looks outside of your Spurs tinted glasses. Modric said in his autobiography Levy went back on verbal promises of allowing him to leave the club for one in the CL multiple times, and said as much recently also apparently, in the context of Kane. Levy has previous for this with several players.
It sets a terrible precedent. If you're a promising young player in Europe, why would you join Spurs? If you become a huge success, make it with them, and they reach a level competing for titles, it all works out and everyone's happy. In the event it doesn't, which as we've seen is much more likely, that player will be denied moves away when he realises his potential and Spurs don't.
This is why you were snubbed by Pau Torres, even after agreeing a fee with Villareal. Why would he join?
You're cutting your nose off to spite your face and you think it's benefitting you in the long run. Clueless. Letting ego and pride blind you, frankly.

That's the one. That manager search was so painful to watch. Fake and embarrassing from beginning to end. Always been my impression with Levy. Pretty good at getting full market value when a player wants to leave. That's how he gets the 'tough operator reputation'. In reality, that's 5% of his job, but he knows it accounts for 90% of his standing.Yes the same way that Modric is on record as being totally understanding in the past too.

I wonder if Kane has substantiated his “gentleman’s agreement“ allegation yet. It would be interesting to know how definitive or how vague it was.
they were calling people flappers a week ago. now still nothing yet. they do love their fLaPpErSDone and dusted last week and only awaiting announcement … if you believe last week’s chancers.

They've just won their cup final on the opening day of the season, they're buzzing already!!

Like virtually everyone else, myself included, you have no idea what is going on behind the scenes in what would be a record deal which by its very nature would take time. Demanding it is done to your own internal deadline is a bit Verucca Saltthey were calling people flappers a week ago. now still nothing yet. they do love their fLaPpErS
