Harry Kane

[BlueMoonz1977]

Kane wanted a move, We offered what we believed was the right amount (which now seems to include a player in that deal) Levy didnt want to sell.

Kane made a huge error signing a long deal with no release clause, but a gentleman's agreement instead - is he really that stupid. The answer is a resounding yes.

Press and spuds fans will see this as a major victory, when the fact is that they have a player who has hd no other option but to stay and a player that knows he has no chance of winning any trophies

Now we move on, we have around 5 days to get someone in who will still do a job for us

Where have all the "we won't leave him hanging" posts gone? All I see is Kane and Levy taking flak. All transfers involve the buyer discretely finding out if the player will move, once they have his indication they go and find out if the club will sell. This is established practice, Kane did his bit, twice, City let him down. A club the size of City should have known what spurs would take before getting the player to start letting off grenades. They acted either amateurish or naive, if Spurs price was too much the player should have been informed in May. We where told it was "close" less than 2 weeks ago when in reality it was never close. Kane nor his agent have ever been involved I a transfer, the onus was on City to to indicate how well or otherwise things where developing. They either completely misunderstood the situation or just plain had no clue.

I've seen numerous times that players won't sign for Spurs because Levy won't let them go, I'd argue City have come out of this worse. Would the agent of Declan Rice or Kalvin Phillips have their player behave the way Kane did in the knowledge City might just abandon them? You never hear of Liverpool, Chelsea or Utd behaving in such a way, they seem to know if a player is actually attainable before getting involved. City done this Koulibaly last year too. Its poor behaviour.

Would we all leave City if we played for them? Would we jump ship to spurs to win trophies or would you stay to try to help?

Genuine question

He wanted to leave. I'd like to think I wouldn't but professionals see it differently, as he did.

We tried to sign Kane, the price was too high, we move on no hard feelings.

Lol - don’t leave Harry hanging…. Just underwrite a quarter of Spurs debt… fuck off you patronising prick. When did you last win the league?

I dont think its poor from City. More like levy knows his player wants to leave. Levy knows City needs a centre forward. Levy wants an over the top price because of this. Levy thinks City are so rich he ups the price.
City refuse to pay over the top.
So levy keeps an unhappy player and loses around 130million.
City dont buy from spurs.
You cant make a deal if one side doesnt want to make one !

That Neville interview with Kane felt like a honeytrap.

I don't think any of the 3 parties involved have come out of this particularly well.

City - Messed around for weeks/months with what seemed to be the expectation that as we got closer to deadline Spurs/Levy would fold. We could have got the same response a month ago and moved on.

Kane - Didn't do enough to push it through. He kicked all of this off by doing the Neville interview and then disappeared.

Spurs/Levy - You have had years of Kane in the side and won nothing. If it had been the other way around I might have expected my chairman to think that taking in £100m+ for a 28 year old might not be a bad idea. If my club had done nothing in the transfer market all summer and was scratching around trying to take players like Traore on loan, I would really consider that a £100m+ influx into the coffers might be a major plus. Especially since Nuno hasn't done too badly bringing in mid-priced players previously. However, Levy is clearly now obsessed with this master negotiator persona he has built for himself, to the extent it now takes precedent over what is best for Spurs. Levy is an idiot and you guys and the media celebrating his idiocy just encourages him to be even more idiotic. £100m+ for a 28 year old and apparently he doesn't even consider it...braindead.

All to blame in this and all losers in it.
