Harry Kane

[Gundog’s Gundog]

Wrong on the last line in my view Gundo. Not when your Chairman is Daniel Levy. And I actually thought he showed a lot of ambition in deciding to leave his boyhood club.

He didn’t decide to leave though did he ? He told his awkward boss he’d kind of like it if he’d please allow him to join City but he didn’t follow through with it, he just folded when his boss said no.

Do you buy into this media portrayal of Levy as a monster negotiator ? Do Spurs keep star players longer and / or get bigger fees for them than comparable clubs ?

We activated the release clause. They couldn't stop the transfer.

And from the sounds of things (article in the Athletic) Villa would have preferred to deal with anyone else.

Perhaps Kane has become aware that the owners of ManC preside over “very serious human rights” - according to Amnesty. Be careful Harry, people who oppose their ideas are usually tortured and murdered

Kane is still a Spurs player, Levy said he was not for sale and he wasn't at the price we were prepared to give.

Levy may be a cnut but this time he has stuck to his word and still has his star man.

City obvious not prepared to be held to ransom by Levy; a decision I think he will come to regret, just as he must regret not paying what Villa wanted for Jack a couple of years ago.

Well done, City. I’m pleased you stuck to your valuation. Onwards and upwards.

I’m not blaming Kane as much as city I guess idk. I just don’t like that we have a week to sort another player or go with what we got. We have a tendency to play these games with other clubs. Like I said idk how hard it is for coty to be like here is what we offer yes or no. If they say no we move on

Kane didn't have a release clause (hope he fires his brother agent) so this back and forth was the only option. You say "here's our offer take it or leave it" and then what? Levy tells us to pound sand and that's that?

The only real option was for Kane to pressure Levy into letting him go. Or for Kane to buy out his own contract which, get real, was never going to happen.

This negotiation was always going to go down to the wire and was always going to depend on Kane forcing the issue. He didn't, here we are.

We got 3 striker options currently:

1) Sterling - the speed striker

2) Ferran - the technical striker

3) Delap - the typical striker

I'm okay with that for the season to tackle any opposition until we get Haaland, who can encompass all 3 aspects.

 

[Tokyo32]

think it’s bollocks tbh i can’t see us pursuing this for so long if they were refusing to even negotiate.

Didn’t Pep say with his own mouth that spurs are not negotiating with us. The only forward target is Kane so it is not like they were rushing to move to another target.

 

[BlueBanger]

Literally an unreal situation. Yet another year of pep potentially wasted with obvious squad weakness...does this mean we can bring in a CDM and LB now please...
