Harry Kane

[SpursSince1980]

This is certainly one of the strangest transfer sagas I’ve seen at Spurs.

Agree with the consensus that if he is still a Spurs player by the weekend, he ain’t going anywhere.

Then again, if we lose 10-8 to Brentford that may break him — even he scored all eight of our goals!

 

[knowlespurs]

Yeah that's my point, doors are wide open for him for next season so the only way I see him putting pen to paper on a new deal is with a clause that allows him to move for a sensible fee should he deem he wants to after this season. Would obviously be a win win for us as we would get to keep him another season and wouldn't have him leave for nothing. The far more likely thing though is him going in the next few days or running down his contract and moving to a rival next season.

But why would he sign a deal with a release clause of any amount when at the moment he has a release clause of zero

 

[Frank Blank]

Have you completely missed the way they've behaved over this time?

Quite. Meeting a player behind the scenes - as has been alledged - is totally ****ish.

 

[Scissors&Tape]

Can you point me to the post saying the deal was done mate? I've had a look and can't find one.

A new era has begun

Who: The Goat
When: 5th August
Where: SC

The Goat hears that Bayern have ponied up and the ball is with team Kane now. Also, that all inclusive, the total fee for Kane will reach somewhere around the £110m mark

Ok Hercules maybe jumped the gun there, but that Goat message does not say the deal was done.

 

[mil1lion]

No, it was very definite that he was ' gone'.

I only recall seeing suggestion they offered an acceptable offer. Any suggestion of thinking he was gone was opinion.

I’m not sure anyone is saying a deal was done. It was saying the fee had been agreed but it seems now that a fee has not been agreed.

Acceptable offer does not mean it was agreed though.

Because you compensate him for that by massively inflating his wages and give him a multi-million £ signing on fee effectively immediately so he is better off than a year on his current deal.

Strange use of the word acceptable then.

 

[Hercules]

Whoever is playing policeman with ITK’s on this. Deal was agreed Friday. Not going to expand why we are where we are at. We know the reasons for the about turn. Certainly not sharing that here.

I’ve been thinking about this, what kind of figure do you think it might take?

 

[smithym]

To suggest the ball is in Kanes court does actually insinuate the offer was deemed acceptable.
The fact that it’s been rejected should actually suggest Kane rejected it.

There’s always twist and turns, this for me is a beautiful one and I’ve ordered the new shirt with his name on for one last time. Not for me, for my boy. Can’t wait to see the tears if this goes Pete Tong….

Come on, nobody takes that "with the Kane Camp" comment any other way than that club terms are agreed and so it is now up to the player to finalise terms ie. the way every transfer goes. Even if, contrary to the rules, personal terms have been agreed, clubs always say the same thing "we have agreed a fee with X club and so player is now discussing personal terms".

Thanks mate. Ok well that is very intriguing..

Right ok, Herc just confirmed the deal was agreed. Keep your trousers on.

 

[Mattspurs1982]

Mindful that it might only take Bayern to adjust the payment structure and I’m back to meltdown

None of that gets anywhere near what he could get as a free transfer

 

[KingNick]

I’ve been thinking about this, what kind of figure do you think it might take?

Doubling his wages and a 5-10 m signing on fee? That gives him 15-20m extra for one year. Sounds a lot but it's not much more than some clubs pay as a loan fee so not entirely unreasonable especially if we then have a buy-out clause of 20m which is not unduly prohibitive for clubs even for a 31 year old.

KDB makes 20m per year right? I would start there.
