Harry Kane

[Phoenix900000]

Yeah if we meet spurs asking price or they are willing to negotiate

Think there will be a point where they have to negotiate

 

[Blue Llama]

I think if they had of put a release clause in his contract, it would have probably been set at about £150m

If they had Kane would not have signed it. No point in wanting a release clause and then agreeing to an unrealistic value.

The Spurs fans attitude of wanting to keep Kane against his will is strange to me. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t expect them to be happy, but equally I wouldn’t want an unhappy player. O.k. I get that Bernardo and Laporte are not “one of our own”. But if the rumours are true, both are unhappy and particularly in Silva’s case they are both popular with the fans. Compare and contrast our attitude towards them.

Yeah but then compare and contrast our attitude with Bernardo to Garcia. City fans aren't always perfect.

Unlike with Grealish and Villa (which was just unsolicited bitterness), I can see why Tottenham fans are getting upset at Kane. He's gone out his way to fuck them over, when they probably need him more than ever. Quite frankly I think Levy's done something to set him off but obviously Tottenham fans wouldn't see that.


To be clear I'm not sympathising with them. The constant anti-City rhetoric is easy to make me not care for them. But I definitely get their perspective. On Kane that is.

Their attitude towards City is nonsensical, as with every other top 6 fanbase towards us.

No, no. You've got this all WRONG mate. Spurs are definitely in control. Their best player is on strike, their new manager hasn't spoken to him, the squad is in need of improvement in several areas, the season starts next weekend and they have no clarity on what their squad is going to look like - but Levy is IN CONTROL. Nothing to see here at all.

This assumes Levy and Spurs act in their own best interests. Evidently they don't always do so.

 

[samuelyeboah]

back to the topic at hand, when is he due back to spurs training? latest reports said he'd be back early next week no?

 

[JPBB]

Don’t know if my memory is playing tricks on me, but I always remember blues being of the attitude that if a player doesn’t want to be at our club, it’s best for all parties that they move on. Yes, get the best deal you can but work within the art of the possible. We weren’t happy about SWP going but we didn’t want to keep an unhappy player.

The Spurs fans thinking is so small time. In this current economic climate I’ll be amazed if they get £115 million for Kane. That said you can pay off some of the stadium debt, or go back to what Spurs were good at under Poch or in the 90’s and noughties where they used to buy young, hungry English players from other academies, lower leagues and develop through their own academy. That is when Spurs were at their most potent in the modern game. The prices of those players will have gone down in the same way the market price of Kane has.

hahah Tottenham were good in the 90s?

Maybe compared to City.

Don’t think it is that necessary, they have a 150m / 160m price that they can decide to not budge from

You mean like players do in Spain all the time?

Like most on here I was a utd supporter until 2012.

I couldn’t type that, even in jest. The cunts.

As someone very much involved on the Eric Garcia thread, I had no strong opinion on Garcia. I think you’ll find a lot of that was fuelled by FCBarca (the deluded poster) rather than Garcia. Eric was hardly a first team regular so the fact it stirred up so much feeling tells you there was more to that particular one.

I found it odd FCBarca didn’t get banned sooner. Perhaps Ric and the crew have realised the value / draw of a controversial poster. He’ll be running Talkshite soon.

Could not give a hoot about Spurs, even if their ground was to burn down like the opposing occupier business adjacent to their ground.
These along with the three known red tops will always be despised and will never wish them success.

 

[TCIB]

Going of some considered posts on here it seems reasonable to think he may have to put a transfer request in. I wonder if he will go that far? If he did would that force Levy to accept an amount closer to 100m?

How long would we even wait? Having any transfer happen at the last minute loses us a few games of him being up to speed/finding his feet. If you are paying big boy money you want them worked into the way we play ready for the first game ideally.

If he was 26 i could see us paying the 150m i dont see us meeting that now. Whatever happens it will be interesting to watch this unfold.

I’m trying to think of cockney strikers that have led our line in recent times,I’m struggling and have gone back as far as to Clive Allen and David Cross !

Are they all discussing their new contracts at the same time as looking for a gentleman's agreement to leave if another club comes in for them? Apart from that it's a legal requirement to have a release clause.

 

[LesBleuMiserable]

Me too but we have no proof that actually happened just paper talk which we know by the way they lie about is is usually bollocks.

Kane does not come up with the figure of £100 mill if that was not the case. I suspect Levy is very smooth but a not a man of his word when money is involved.

Paul Walsh?

Bloody hell yea good shout

Its bloody obvious Levy is just burning time trying to get either a cheapo replacement in to placate the fans (Like what Villa did with Ings, Bailey and Buendia) before they let Kane go. Not a fucking chance Levy gives up 100m+.
