Harry Kane

[willipp]

The stage where I have not got a fucking Scooby Doo mate. I posted last week I felt it was done because the club felt they'd agreed something with Levy (or at least someone who would know something like that told me that). This is obviously not the case, so for me it is time to let this play out now.

So your telling us its happening? ;)

Wasn't it Pep who once noted the importance of having a strong national core to a team? Or perhaps someone else of our clubs higher ups. Not saying it's *the* reason, just something factoring into the thinking.

Yes Martí Perarnau wrote about it during his Bayern time I believe. Problem in England is supporters don’t like buying players from rivals (this thread is testament to that), and English clubs fleece each other financially.

Imagine taking football transfers this seriously.

You've got certain grown men acting all childish because a transfer isn't done. I'd say that's quite impressive.

The spurs cockney geezer was on sky sports news just now, with another cockney geezer utd fan (shock).
Just waffling on about kane and how there has been no bid from us, all acting ever so matter of factly and saying nothing is happening, which at the moment is true.
His head will properly fall off if we get kane, he already looks emotionally drained now.

I think there’s virtually no chance we sign an alternative to Kane this window. Looks like they’re ready to let this go to the deadline to make it happen.

Agree. I'd be very surprised if there's a Plan B, or even time to sign an alternative, with the Spurs snake oil salesman obviously content to run the clock down. If, however, the deal goes tits-up, it won't just be us left with egg on our faces. Levy will have an unsettled, demotivated player on his hands who already appears to have burned all his bridges with the fans. You'd think that both parties, therefore, would be sufficiently savvy to get it over the line.

It would’ve been easier to sign Haaland or Messi. It is quite funny how much Pep wants Harry.

Probably a time factor. Maybe he's thought 2 more years is all he's got so just get someone who's already elite and get the job done.

100m to cover injuries for a few weeks?

Get him in earlier if they knew it was a release why wait.. they knew they'd be short and we're going for him regardless.

still no transfer request from Kane and imo it wont happen now. that means his loyalty bonus is charged on us as a transfer fee, Levy will make sure of that. at least I would hope Kane isnt asking any signing on bonus from us in return, i am sure his loyalty bonus and future City salary is more than enough.

Kane might be thinking there is a chance he wont be sold and easier to face the fans if he only has to explain the non training for a few days than a transfer request.

What sort of figure would we be looking at for a loyalty bonus? I see them mentioned whenever it comes to handing in a transfer request but I have no idea if we're talking tens of millions or some nearly expired Dominos vouchers.

Could see us go for Phillips / Rice if pep still believes in that. Leeds might be buggers to negotiate with
