plus £75m to Raiola :cautious:


Haaland will never be just £75m

Isn't there a rule coming in next season where an agent can only make 10 percent of the transfer fee? Obviously there could be some back door shenanigans

Very true. With that perhaps there's an element of risk involved and could it then boil down to his personal preference. Everyone will be meeting that number, even us :LOL:

Raiola vs Levy.

Will be meaningless, Raiola will just make it a performance based bonus from Haland to him.

We wont get 150m this summer but we also wont get 100m next summer. The only way it can be justified to hold on to him this summer and see his value reduce next summer is by getting into the CL and perhaps winning something.

If he had four years left on his contract then definitely keep him but given the situation i think we need to establish whether the benefit of keeping Kane for another season will offset the reduction in value next summer.

3 years of Kane is probably worth £100m to us at least in terms of goals, sponsorship etc. If we set a precedent of selling our best players below market value it will encourage other players to do the same. We lost Bale but £86m at the time was a good deal relative to the market.

Lukaku is same age as Kane and Chelsea could be paying £120m for in my opinion a significantly inferior player while City have apparently bid £100m for Grealish. Kane is clearly worth more at a minimum and I simply don’t see Levy letting a top asset go for below market value.

Giggs, Scholes, and Maldini can fuck right off. It's easy to be a one club player when your club is the dominant force in your league. The others respect.

Le Tissier only stayed because his missus wouldn't move house. He'd signed a contract with us but went begging to Scholar to tear it up.

The Mail are saying Grealish to City will be completed today. Wonder if that has any impact

I cant believe City with the scrutiny of FFP be able to pay for grealish and kane without outgoings being able to do both...they have players who would be available, but who in Europe has the money to buy them.

I listened to Ally Gold YouTube post yesterday about this whole mess. According to the people he’s spoken to with sources at Man City, they have no intention of going to anything like the number that even starts a conversation with Levy.

If true, where does that leave Kane? Desperate to leave but his chosen club doesn’t want him enough to secure his sale and has prioritised the transfer of Grealish over his. Meanwhile, in 2 days he has gone a long way to torching the reputation it took 7 years to build and by the end of the window he could very well still be here, facing full stadiums for the first time in almost 18 months.

He and his idiot brother really didn’t think this through, did they?

Especially as he is now coming back! Man City would have been delighted he refused to train, but I suspect, pissed off he’s now returning. It has done nothing, you’d think, except piss off levy and make the transfer harder.

Anyone else have a sneaking suspicion Kane didn't intend it to be a boycott per se at first and was just taking the piss, saw it as an opportunity to make a point, and told everyone he's going on strike after the fact?

Like when I'd miss the bus as a kid and run to class late but pretend to my friends I was just being aloof and cool by not giving a fuck what my teacher thinks. Something you couldn't do for a very trivial reason but you then try to make a political point of.

Haaland will never move to any club for that fee without at least there being a 5 at the beginning of his weekly wage - probably a lot more. Rules Spurs out.

Another way around this is offer Kane a new contract but with a release clause of £120M next year (reduced to £100M if we qualify for the CL). That gives him an incentive to go all out to get us back into the CL this season, which would also make it easier to replace him. Everyone will know where they stand then. And if Man City prefer Haaland, and Kane sees that Paratici is building a great side here, he might even stay longer.

Oh FFS, I’ve just realised that if Kane does end up at City, all the papers will go with the headline ‘Citizen Kane’ that’s reason enough not to sell him!

Just noticed this thread will be 10 years old next Tuesday 10 August! If H is still with Spurs next Tuesday can we hold a testimonial for the thread at least?
